Dana White has taken it upon himself to defend newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards from accusations of cheating in his fight against Kamaru Usman.
Edwards dethroned Usman with a fifth-round head kick KO at UFC 278 this past August, but former multiple time title contender Chael Sonnen believes that the win was not without controversy. The analyst noted several instances of ‘Rocky’ grabbing the fence and changing positions on the ground, where the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ found success.
“Kamaru Usman is very likely to smother you and change you when he’s on top of you,” said Sonnen on his YouTube channel.
