'Rocky' Edwards finally gets UFC gold with Hollywood KO

Down on the judges' scorecards with a minute left in his UFC title fight against Kamaru Usman, Leon"Rocky" Edwards needed a miracle, but no-one expected an ending that even Hollywood film-makers would have dismissed as too implausible.

Out of nowhere, Edwards feinted a jab before slamming a kick into the side of Usman's head, flooring one of the most dominant champions the UFC has ever had and surprising everyone in the Vivint Arena. "I've pictured him being up on the scorecards and me coming back and winning - I've pictured it many different ways," Edwards said prior to the fight, but the win he envisioned could hardly have been this perfect.

Having received his"Rocky" nickname from the boxing movie of the same name, Edwards celebrated by dancing around the octagon to the film's iconic theme tune, his dream of becoming a UFC champion finally fulfilled.
