Another fan pointed out Jon Anik’s call right before Edwards landed the head kick.
Needs to be talked about more as the best call in sports history. “He’s cut from a different cloth” right as the biggest comeback in sports history happens.

Heading into his first title defense, Edwards will be soaring in confidence riding an impressive undefeated streak. But what makes it special for the 31-year-old is the opportunity to take on one of the biggest challenges in his career in front of a home crowd.

As the Birmingham local walks out to the roars of his fans, his supporters would be expecting nothing short of a dominating performance from Edwards.
As for British MMA fans, this is clearly a mouth-watering event that comes once in a generation of sorts. Despite having multiple other English stars in the promotion, Edwards definitely stands out in the eyes of the fans, mainly owing to his inspiring story and the humbleness that he exudes. And getting to see him headline a massive card in London is a must-watch for the Britishers.
On the other hand, Usman will see this fight as an opportunity to take back what he feels is his. After having dominated the division for years, the loss to Edwards and the manner in which he went down is expected to motivate him rather than serve as discouragement.
