Damn. I didn’t see this coming. Usman was winning all the rounds until the well-hidden kick. This is reminiscent of what dropped Weili in the first seven seconds of her fight.

MMA is a sport of many upsets. That is exactly why I prefer it to boxing which is more linear with expectations. The short fight times add to the enjoyment.

Naija took two Ls in one day. A sad day for us.

I don't know why igbos on Twitter are mocking AJ?


Kamuru was dominant in that fight. I didn't know how he let that lazy kick catch him.

Another sad day for Nigerians …. AJ and Usman. The few things that make Nigerians happy all crumbled in a day.

Take these pains to the polls and vote wisely!!


sharap there, y re u dragging AJ as a Nigerian whereas he's British , u won't develop ur country but once someone goes abroad and realizes his potential, u start claiming him, abi is he a property u claim, if AJ was he Nigeria God knows he may not have realized his potential, he would av been at best, a boxer with so much potential to be a global champion the same way Nigeria as a nation is, a nation like Camelot thats kindly remembered for what it could've been

Watched it live...
Happened like a flash... I couldn't believe it
My brain couldn't process it. Seeing the Nigerian nightmare go out like that... When he's won all round with less than 2mins to go.

That's mma mehn! So unpredictable
At just a tinkle of an eye, a guy is slept into shadow realm for good.

I hope they offer him an instant rematch though. Khamzat Chimaev be dancing now
... He better stay off.. Don't think about rematch because him go still collect beating.....

konkonbilo:
he dominated 4 of the rounds. He was just a minute away from victory before the head kick came from no where. He was caught unguard.

Edwards had round 1 - he locked Usman in a body triangle. Rd 2,3 and 4 - Usman outclassed him. I was even telling my friend that Edwards rd. 1 was initial gra gra. ..only for rd.5 to come and Edwards lived up to his nickname 'rocky' by pulling the head kick outta nowhere. Usman's mistake., according to DC (Cormier) was backing down in the 5th round. I don't blame Usman sha- he was winning comfortably and decided to play it safe . Las las, attack is the best form of defence sometimes.

Really sad and painful.

The downfall of a man is not the end of his life.

Nigeria and Nigerians are going through a lot at the moment.

Lets vote wisely in 2023. Nigeria shall rise again.


Peter is better and most qualified to rebuild our dilapidating economy and infrastructure.

Definitely buhari is a big problem

Super eagles lost Afcon lost world cup
Super Falcons had one of their worst football year
AJ lost
USMAN LOST.
