However, the British turned the tables by scoring a takedown of his own and grabbing Usman’s back. In the second round,

“The Nigerian Nightmare” picked up the tempo and began to put together some solid combinations before winning the round with another takedown.

In the third round, Usman completely outclassed Edwards on the mat by alternating his submission attempts with blows.

To keep the battle on the feet, the Brit’s corner team urged him to attempt to resist Usman’s takedowns, but Edwards was becoming slower as the rounds went by.
