To get knocked out is one of the worst ways to lose a fight. Not because it’s embarrassing, but due to the damage that the one absorbs.

It looks very painful; however, fighters who have faced it say otherwise. In their experience, they just go to sleep and by the time they wake up and gain proper conciseness, they don’t remember anything what happened post knock out.

Kamaru Usman on the Joe Rogan podcast described what is it was like to get knocked out.

Joe Rogan is Shocked with the Response

Rogan asked Usman what he remembers about that night after getting KO’d.

Usman replied, “I shake left, I shake right, and I’m sitting in the ambulance and they’re asking me do you know where you’re at? I’m like what the f**k”

The UFC commentator was surprised to hear this response. He asked to reaffirm, “That’s what you remember? Waking up in the ambulance?”

Usman who was smiling, replied, “Yeah I was awake but I remember coming to the ambulance”

Rogan said, “So you’d been awake cause you were walking around but you were still gone”

Usman contradicted, “oh I was good… I was talking… to Trevor..everyone” 

“, you know they apparently take you to the medical tent and they take care of you and all of that. They talk to me, I talk to them. I talk to my family.”

Usman concluded by saying, “It was like Leon gave me a 20-minute nap”

Both chuckled hard when Usman said that statement. This was the first career loss for Kamaru Usman by Knockout. Usman was cruising towards victory until his opponent, Leon Edwards, dropped a devastating head kick, that immediately shut Usman’s light out. 

Records Usman Could Not Break

Before this loss, Usman was riding on a massive 15-fight win streak in the UFC. He was just one win shy of sharing the no.1 spot with Anderson Silva (16) for most consecutive wins in UFC.

He would also have tied Matt Huges for the second most consecutive welterweight title defenses, moreover, he would have inched closer to GSP for the all-time record.

Both these records which Usman was so close to breaking came to a stop by the Brit; Thus, these records remain with their original holders.
