It wasn’t just the fans who ended up confused by Edson Barboza’s knockout win over Shane Burgos at UFC 262. From the sound of things, Barboza himself isn’t too sure about quite what happened in the final seconds of their PPV bout. After Burgos’ six-second delayed reaction to the KO punch, the Brazilian had to ask his coaches what he did to end the contest.
In an interview with Combate, Barboza explained that he isn’t sure where the fight-ending punch had landed, but was happy to win anyway. Although Edson is no stranger to delayed reactions, he had never seen someone take that long to go down after a shot, which was what surprised him the most.
