UFC 278: Rocky sparks Marty!
Added 2022-08-22 18:51:43 +0000 UTCIn what will almost certainly win knockout of the year in the second annual Combat Chronicles End-of-Year Awards Leon 'Rocky' Edwards smashed his chin into Kamaru Usman's jaw and spark him fully out and win the UFC welterweight title in very unlikely fashion! In this tell-all, I tell you all why inspite of this I still find Leon Edwards really bloody annoying but also how I can't help but respect the bloke.
Aldo vs. Merab was a snoozefest, but why? And why I don't think we should be counting Aldo out just yet. Paulo Costa vs. Luke Rockhold didn't tell us much, but I decide to take a little look at Luke Rockhold's legacy as he appears to bow out from the sport forever.
A few choice words about a couple of the undercard fights that were somewhat notable and/or bonkers, and then over to you guys to let me know what you thought of the card and this episode either in the comments below or over on Twitter @CombatCr

Costa/Rockhold and Leon sniping Usman saved the card IMO the UFC should wait awhile before heading back to altitude, the two weeks(?) some fighters got wasn’t enough to acclimate themselves and it showed That whole ending sequence with Leon was like a movie, and the Rocky theme playing was just the cherry on top
