Rodgers said, “That’s what I love about the Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder fights. It’s because you just knew at any point, didn’t matter who’s ahead, one punch from any of these guys and it would be f**king over.”

“UFC, you just don’t see that a whole lot, where a guy’s getting his a** whooped and then comes back and…”.

Rogan agreed with his guest and further felt that Edwards did not absorb a lot of punishment during the bout. Instead, he was just lagging behind on the judges’ scorecards. Hence, the UFC color commentator gave credit to the Britisher’s conditioning.

Rogan felt it was a grueling fight for Edwards, but the fighter was fast enough. In fact, during their discussion, Rogan and his guest watched a clip of the UFC fighter practicing his left kicks. As a result, the podcaster felt that Edwards and his team might have studied Usman’s tendency to move to the right.

Some of the best welterweights have tried to snatch Usman‘s crown but have been unsuccessful. While ‘Rocky’ did the impossible, many cannot stop talking about how the fight could have gone to a decision victory in Usman’s favor.
