it's great to hear a professional break it down
Hi
Nice
it’s insane how people thought edwards was defeated and now i’m watching a doctor explain how badly usman got knocked out
thats why its called a comeback dog
Man the fight game is crazy
Well honestly i thought too that usman was levels above all in the division. Do you guys think chimaev vs Edwards is next or rematch between usman and Edwards?
@@lkmjin rematch for sure
I truelly thought Leon was gonna be that guy who always got bullied and force to eat 3 pieces and sodas. I’m super happy for him
It's hard to explain, but seeing someone as dominant as Usman go stiff felt far more surreal than a normal KO. I almost felt like CG or something, like the impossible had happened. I'm not sure if anyone else felt this way but it was a seriously unreal feeling, kind of like Tony getting KO'd by Chandler or when Silva broke his leg.
Tony getting KO'd was not nearly as surprising, and Silva getting slept by Weidman was more surprising than the leg break
definitely the best headkick ko ever. considering everything
@@forwardmoving8252 I didn't say they were equally surprising, I said equally surreal. Tony's chin had held up incredibly to that point; I'm saying it feels unreal to see someone like that go limp. And for the second point I can agree to a degree, I debated on which one to choose between the KO and leg snap, but for me a limb breaking out of no where is at the very least equal to a knockout of that magnitude.
One thing i learned from watching MMA is to never count someone out and also that no one is invincible. Everybody's human, you can be dominant, but you're still just a person.
@@alypha737 lol what? Best headkick ko ever? Uber casual, not even close.
Easily one of the greatest come back Championship victories of all time. Thanks for the info doc
I'll Tell You What what's great about anguy Possibility getting CTE smh I would never get excitement imseeing someone in pain
@@darnellwilliams8783 That’s not what I said. Whatsoever. Wth?
Nah Jiris was better
@@xeta180 I hear that. That’s why I said “..one of..”
With all the goat talk, overlooking leon for LHW champ status, losing the fight till the kick, 100%.
He leaned into the kick too so he had momentum going against it. Nasty
Yup he threw that same combo on belal....he knew he would slip it because all boxing he does wow insane
vera landed this exact same set up and kick last week on cruz.. what a great month of fights!
@@VinceGaming831 ufc is truly immense right now
@@PullThatUpJamie not worth the ppv when you can find the free streams easier than when dana first cried about the crackdowns
you meant momentum going into the kick which created more impact power
This KO feels like a glitch from a parallel universe. Like in our universe this wasn't suppose to happen but it did.
Dude I thought the same thing when I saw edwards doing the post fight lol
Well they did recently fire up the large haderon collider
Some of us had money on Roberts, anyone who believed it was only possible in a parallel universe know nothing about him or MMA.
It was supposed to happen, bro got humbled
@@mindblown42069 Not true. I knew Edwards could win the fight....before the fight happened. However, before the KO he was losing badly and it seemed like he was content with just getting a loss to the champ and then the kick happened.
Bisping told a story after he got knocked out. He was in the shower the day after the fight. He was yelling at his training partner saying “we need to get ready for the fight tonight“ that’s how messed up you can be in the head after getting knocked out like that. I don’t think Usman is going to be right for a while and the people around him have never experienced something like this so I hope he will be OK.
That wasn’t just any KO. That was the Hendo KO
I think Usman will never be the same anymore
@Gianna Tennell yup
@@DeltaAssaultGaming insane
@@giovannimontagnana6262 I would not be surprised whatsoever if you were right. Even physical capabilities might be off forever like punching or kicking or just reacting to someone throwing a punch at you. It could be delayed for the rest of his life. Everything that made him great was because he has never been hurt like that. He got hurt by Covington his face was damaged badly in the first fight but getting hit like that can change you mentally and physically forever.
props to Leon for not dropping unnecessary shots after the knock out. That was a hell of a setup🙌
Pretty sure he knew that shit was over lol
@@C-holmes Agreed. Once the kick landed his hands went up in celebration. He was hail marying that set up and it worked for him. This sport is awesome. Never fully know how it will end until it’s over.
No need at all
Hmmm 🤔 that would have ended the fight for sure
Someone else : its super necessaryyyyy !
He endured 24 minutes of hell with the pound for pound greatest active fighter, and then he won with under a minute to go. Leon Edwards earned this.
@Tate Zilla people seem to forget he eyepoked him grabbed the fence and hit him in the balls
Although it really wouldnt change usman getting humbled 💀
Haven't you heard the champ say it pound for pound don't belong to anybody headshot bang dead!
@@juancruz4472 eye poke wasn't even in the eye, the nut shot was a toe in the stomach clearly seen on the replay that's why herb called off the time
He isn't near Alexander Volkanovski in terms of P4P, Volk beat the 2 featherweight GOATs Aldo and Max THREE TIMES, finished Chad Mendes, finished the Korean Zombie and humiliated Ortega. His only loss was early against a giant at WELTERWEIGHT.
Who did Usman beat ? Overbloated lightweight with glass jaw Gilbert, journeymen Masvidal twice, and lost 6 rounds to pillow hands Colby.
''head shot bang done''-leon Edwaards
I'm happy for him well deserved truely humbled Usman and shocked the world.
Idk why people keep saying "humbled" like Usman never give credit to all his opponents, that's just dumb.😂
^Waaaaah😂Waaaaah
Here’s his next fights…
1) Usman
2) Khamzat
3) Burns
Lol… he won’t be undisputed.
@@wedontagelikemilktho.7839 after walking right up in Edwards’ grill before the fight, he deserved to get clapped like that
@@wedontagelikemilktho.7839 Cuz Usman is a cocky fighter who asks people for respect lmao
Usman’s soul was watching over his body.
Yeah, its a dangerous sport.
Ppl who get ko'd and then wake up soon usually have the same facial expression, like trying to understand what just hapenned and whats going on. Concussion feels like shit, you kinda recognize things arround you but you cant pin down what they mean. Like a bad dream.
😂😂😂
good night Usman
@@lkmjin I’ve had a bad one and its like someone barging into your room and when you are 4 hours deep into sleep and having 0 idea what’s going on.
Bro ur fast! He hasn't even landed yet! 😳
😭😭😴😭😭
Mann I wish I came up wit that one🤣🤣🙌🏽
🤣🤣
Dr Sutterer you are awesome. Your analysis on various injuries is top notch 👍 much respect
Crazy how much damage these kicks do and then there is a guy like Yoel Romero that just absorbs it , I think our Doc should do a video reacting on Yoel's neck
Yoel is an alien
@@thomasthedankengine6230 lol
Simply humbled... Leon told him that he was letting fame get to his head... I don't feel sorry for him at all
yeah this remind me of wen Islam got koed
Bro got sat down and humbled lol
I’m so happy I don’t like usman.glad he got humbled
Leon is a bigger prat, but no matter he'll lose his belt in his next fight... dude was almost ko'd by Diaz, that's not a real champion.
Usman has been getting a lil high on his horse I want all these guys to know I’m better than them I dominated him nice to see him get slept lol
Dr. Sutterer, may you speak on the effect of competing at high altitudes, as this was demonstrated at the UFC 278 event held in Utah. There were many fighters who appeared very tired by the second round. This happened to fighters who trained weeks prior to the event in the same conditions. Is it possible to overcome our physiological responses in high altitudes or become acclimated to a new environment? If so, how long does it take, and in that length would they be at risk for right sided heart failure?
While not an expert, I remember a type of race held by those people living in the mountains (somewhere in south america), that have incredible (almost inhuman) stamina at high altitudes.
Requires additional oxygen to fuel the body at Higher Altitudes, Can lead to you feeling more fatigued from less activity. *Not an Expert*
Seeing a dominant fighter get dropped like that just gives you an out of body experience when you see it happen live. Same with the second fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin. I was speechless and breathless after I saw that.
The Poirier win was crazy because Conor’s never been KO’d in MMA, but it was a flurry of punches that we all watched and got hyped over. Great fucking night.
Compare that to when Edwards had some success early, and then proceeded to get thoroughly dominated for 24 minutes. He does some hip feints and throws a jab cross headkick and Usman is sparked unconscious at the last minute. The instantaneousness of it is what was so shocking IMO
@@spencere821
Yeah that definitely came out of nowhere and that’s why I wonder what a second fight would look like
When Edward's threw the leg kick prior I subconsciously thought, head kick would be deadly. Correct me if I'm wrong but he hadn't thrown a head kick all fight? It tripped me out when he landed the head kick 🤯
Dope
Didn't throw any combos either
He did throw many head kicks actually. He just never set them up well like he did in the end
@@KINGSOP2000 I could be wrong but I don't recall any other head kicks, he threw some legs kicks and a couple push kicks to the chest and knees but that's about it....
That's why the setup worked so good because he didn't go up high the whole fight, that along with the jab feint
Same exact thought I had right before he threw it
Nobody faster with the news than this man… and damn 500k subs already that’s crazy
I saw plenty of news articles minutes after the fight ended
Stunning head kick in the Final minutes of the 5th & final round of a fight that he was about to Lose, Way to Go CHAMP your the MAN ROCKY!
It does not matter the sport or the injury! Your explanations are always fantastic! I’ve tried to figure out what you do so well, and I can’t pin anything down. It’s everything. The tone, the pace, the pauses, the introductions. It’s all very well done. Thank you.
That's enough sycophancy for one day.
Usman’s eyes rolling back at 0:37 is the scariest shit I’ve seen. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how these guys can kill ordinary people when they are normally humble.
🩸🩸🩸🩸
He looked dead right there.
What's that coming out from his eyes at 0:05
I got a sick pleasure from it. Usman needed to be humbled
@@myginger water
Thanks for you consistent content I always appreciate watching your videos and learning new things about sport injuries!
Wow, first time seeing one of your videos and you've made a fan for life. Thanks for this!
You’re smart for making these videos as soon as the fight happens jumping straight on the algorithm. Keep it going broski this turn around time was crazy.
And he has an out using the footage as much as he wants for instructional purposes lol
Its so much worse when you consider the dehydration, head shots taken throughout the fight and previous concussions. That kick just changed usmans whole life.
hopefully
Man this is by far the most informative stuff I have watched today... Thanks so much n keep up the awesome work... Love from Singapore 🇸🇬
I suffered a bleed on the brain after a massive blow to the head and I was scrambled for easily a month. I hate seeing that kind of knockout.
Breakdowns like this elevate how wild and unpredictable mma can really be. Especially from fighters who are as superhuman as usman
Usman isn’t superhuman lol he never sees the left coming
CEO OF EPO BABY
superhumans don't get knocked out.
Steroid cheat
@@Tarik-if9zc what does epo mean? this is probably the thirteenth or fourteenth time i’ve seen “ceo of epo” in the last hour
I was rooting for Leon since way back when but when I saw how Kamaru dropped I was shook and genuinely felt for the guy, pray he has a safe and easy recovery. Lets get that trilogy settled aye
Thanks for helping me process this upset, Doc! I need answers! And I am willing to look any and everywhere rn! Clicking on this was a no-brainer!
Finally, I found the highlight. Thanks Doctor!
Great video, Doc! On point as always. Congratulations to Edwards for a spectacular victory over one of the most dominant fighters in the history of MMA. His head kick is very similar to how George St-Pierre defeated Matt Hughs in their second fight to become the welterweight champ. A series of lead left leg body kicks caused Hughs to attempt to guard low and lean to his right while the shin of GSP came up to the head. Edwards attacked Usman throughout the fight with series of rear left leg roundhouse kicks. This caused Usman to guard the right side of his body while leaning to the right which ultimate lead to the fight-ending head shot. Such a great fight. Congratulations, champ!
Doctor, thanks for breaking this down respectfully. People joke about the twitching and muscle tightening but I don't find it funny and it's great to hear a professional break it down.
Definitely not funny.
It's hilarious
WOW. Thanks for informing. Great to know.
Thank you for all the medical breakdowns you cover. I don't even bother with the other sports doctor channels.
Never nice to see a knockout like that but my god what a beautiful kick, don't think anyone saw it coming
Never nice to see a ko ?!?! Go watch tennis pansy
I feel sorry for my neighbours, started screaming my yard down 6am 😅 (uk time) was fully thinking Edwards wasn't gonna do it but fuck me! Gets rocked in the last minute of his last fight and now wins by ko in the last minute of this... beautiful.
he held it down for mandem
Woke up my missus and kids and now I'm in the doghouse...🤣🤣🤣
Always appreciate your professional insights on the cause and effect of MMA injuries for which loyal fight fans like myself should have to make us into more educated fans. You deserve more subscribers!
Thanks for your detailed explanation. Atb
It is incredible what these types of knockouts can cause you, the only way to recover is to take a few years off from these types of blows and I don't know if it is something that Usman has because of his age and his desire to return. Definitely this KO is going to affect his ability to take hits in the next fights
Excellent breakdown. Could you dig into the effects of elevation? I really feel like Salt Lake City air had everybody but Usman whooped. And maybe give us an idea of how a rematch at sea level might go for Edwards and Usman?
That’s because usman trains in Colorado at high altitude and has for years he’s used to it by now…they’re even 1-1 now
After like 4000 elevation everything is markedly harder. More oxygen is needed and less is available due to elevation. Pretty simple. For me it makes stuff feel like 30% harder, but the drain that occurs when you're not getting the oxygen for long enough. You can get really lethargic.
I think that's what happened to quite a few fighters. If you exert yourself too much too fast you gas yourself out because the muscles aren't actually getting the oxygen they need
Do a 3 mile jog with nothing on your face then try it with a full face mask with filters on it and you'll kind of see what operating at elevation is like...
@@Elzorro574 CEO of EPO doesn't care about altitude
@@QuackSus I have noticed Kamaru's acne. It's not a good look for a champ.
Dude you’re getting fast with these breakdown…. I love it
I didn't expect to see this in my search results, but I'm glad I did 👍
I was hoping you’d talk about how he went unconscious with his eyes open and came back to consciousness with his eyes still open 😳
Listen.. As covington fan, i tuned in to see usman lose. Granted i had zero doubts he would lose.. Not a fan of usman but ive been forced to respect him. However, i couldnt help but feel bad for him for some reason. The guys family was all there. His brother was his corner man. Trevor whitmans now went from best coach 2 years going to 2022 where his main pupul's have now went 0-4 with 3 coming from finished. Niel magny gaethje rose & usman. That same token like Masvidal was fed a rotten & raw slice of karma cake from throwing essentially 3 of his hardest thrown cheap shots to askren after he had already very clearly had went to sleep, and then went on mock ben on it and even had a 10x10 foot blown up pic of his knee landing on askrens head in the entrance of American top team. Which 2 years later hed get a his 2nd undeserved title shot with home field advantage got absolutely slept virally by usman infront of all his family friends and peers.
Then usman would go on to mock Jorge for getting slept by him every chance he could. And without question usman was looking past edwards. So much so that after he dominated Edwards for the first 29 minutes he thought he was safe to be reckless with a minute left... Usman is human. And as a matter of fact he made a terrible mistake, one that a guy with his experience absolutely knows better of. Usman is still pfp #2 atleast. He got lack'n and will beat Edwards with ease next time
Need to see khamzat vs usman
Edwards just showed he has evolved in his own right. He still had the gas and intention to catch Usman with that move, even after getting abused by Usman for 3 rounds before. We will see
@@chromaticsoundco.7664 The only reason he Edwards could do anything was because usman stepped off the gas and stopped pressuring him, and felt comfortable striking with him. Edwards hadn’t mounted any offense before that.
Such a quick upload. Dedication. Love the content!
Great explanation Doc, good to see the science of it broken down.
Massive credit to Leon's coach. Not one moment of doubt in his voice and coached him perfectly
Is this sarcasm?
@@slimjimmy344 it's not. The coach really did a great job and trusted Leon all the way.
Gained a subscriber👏🏻 the amount of info you put in such a “short” video within hours of the fight happening is pretty dope bro🤘🏻respect
You late lol
@@bingo8789 nah you late with that comment. I been following him just impressed with the consistency champ.
Cool video. Thanks man
Wow that fencing response is some trippy stuff. Crazy to think, our brains are so complex that we have primal instincts even when unconscious. Great breakdown as always Doc!
Devastating knockout, usman was stiff as a board, unconscious but eyes wide open
After you built up a lot of Karma of beating people's asses it comes back to you hard and crashing down.
And his whole family in attendance. Must have been scary for them.
@@richardmorris7063 facts
Both fighters took massive shots in this fight all throughout… this was the proof of why you never let your guard own. One shot ends anyone if hit right.
Hella interesting video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great videos as Always
Hey Doc, when using the word injury, as in "brain injury" the term conveys some level of tissue damage. Besides facial and jaw swelling from the kick would an MRI show brain tissue damage from such a knockout--or would before and after MRI scans show no change in brain tissues? If brain injury was visible from this knockout how would the tissue be affected?
Would be interesting to hear how long out you think he ought to take and what the recovery period would look like
Was waiting for this video
Love your videos you should do Jahvid Best injury @ CAL or Marshawn Lattimore from South Carolina
You will never be the same after that KO. Is like a stamp into your brain 🧠
Isnt that great? Eff Usman!
Who else is glad usman got humbled?
Dude, I'm ecstatic. I've been wanting to see usman get knocked out for years, and my patience paid off 😂 so glad he didn't beat anderson silvas win streak record or end up surpassing gsps title defense record.
Leon rocky Edwards!! 😎 🇯🇲 🇬🇧
Man I almost hit the ceiling when that kick landed.lol
@@makefoxhoundgreatagain842 Y’all came out of nowhere y’all aren’t leon fans y’all were just usman haters
@@apallow9814 wrong. I'm British, Leon is British.
Thanks Dr Suterer. Have you done a video on the Holme-Rousey fight?
Nice work, Doc.
That's why boxing weaving isn't useful when you're fighting a guy who can throw headkicks
right he should of played it safe
If you watch it again he actually looked at the punch first and then the kick, like hes eyes move from one to the other he just couldnt do anything about it, it is the best KO in UFC history.
Yeah I saw that too. You see his eyes follow the kick and then he closes them as he realized it was over and it was about to land flush. Crazy how fast it all happened really.
Not the best KO in history. God no.
But it is the best headkick KO in history
@@redneckrambo9626 for me it is. For u its not.
Daaammnn B, you jumped right on this one haha!! Love all your content Doc!!
Another outstanding and timely analysis. 🙌👊🇺🇸. And, who picked up on the foot movement on the ground???? Not me! Great work.
One thing. Leon got him to lean into the headkick by feinting a 1-2, so Usman instinctively leaned over to dodge/parry and counter.
No shit we all saw it
@@crayonman3985 stfu, some people didn’t
Props to Edwards for the huge comeback KO win, but Usman was clearly beating/dominating him and most likely on his way to probably a UD win before getting caught with that headkick, interesting to see them run this back for the third time
Lol get over it Leon won
Just have to say that take down by Leon had me jump off the couch
Lol didn’t dominate if he got destroyed like that. If he dominated then Leon wouldn’t have the juice left to knock his lights out.. literally. Get the fuck over it
post fight he said altitude was effecting him.. rematch in his hometown might give Leon advantage. Usman will have to adjust to time zone difference too
@@TJC6059 get over what bro just stating fax???
Nice vid brotha. Subbed
Quick out of the gate on this one Brian. Efficiency level = Grand Master
Holy Sht ! What a KO ! That was a life changing shot ! Good for edwards !!
Trevor whittman just had a back to back to back title fight loss. Damn, these three fighters gotta move out of that gym ASAP. All three with a horrible/humiliating loss as well. Those awards mustve been a curse in the first place.
Did you forget about the 3 times usman defended the belt with witman and rose koing weilli for the belt and defending the belt in the rematch too? I don’t even like usman but your comment is just ignorant
@@rippindrummer666 right, and the event ufc 268 , coach had 3 wins in 1 night from his fighters! Justin, rose and Kamaru won the same night
Excellent explanation Dr…thanks 👍
Great content.
I stopped watch after 1st takedown on 5th round.... Edrward proving everyone wrong🔥🔥🔥
Leon came and trained at my MMA gym few days, in SLC West valley, At Gladiator Fight Academy, him and his Crew are very respectful, great people.
How good is Leon’s wrestling?
I’ve seen u comment this everywhere
Doc on top of his game
More power!
Thank you!
I wonder how many prior conclusions Usman has sustained. That history will play a big part in determining how soon Usman can come back and how susceptible he will be to future concussions.
he’s an mma fighter genius
@@crazyratpors Usman hasn’t been KO’d like this. You get more susceptible to concussions (KOs) each time you recieve them. Him being 36 doesn’t help either, we’ll see how long it takes for him to recover
Look at Leon’s leg it looks like it breaks on impact
Fr
he did say his shin hurt
@@chrisroberts8607 he probably has a fracture or something
Great inside! Thanks Doc.
Good info.
So basically he got KTFO. Thanks doc I would’ve never figured it out otherwise.
Reminds me of the TRT Belfort kick which cause Bisping to loose his eye, At least Leon isn't juiced out of his mind i hope Usman recovers well that was one powerful kick.
Bisping's eye got put in a spliff
😂....they ALL juice.....👍
@@teddyrox3790 not on the same level. You can't juice as much in highly tested places like North America and Europe, compared to places like Brazil and Africa
And it also depends on your supplier, the best way of doing it is with designer drugs, Usman has the perfect person to do it for him : his pharmacist father
Doc never misses. 🔥 video as always brother
THX DOC
He got sent to the shadow realm doc that’s what happened lmao
Thought he was guarding a body shot. Took it straight to the brain
I don't believe Edwards threw a head kick the whole night. He did throw a lot of low kicks so yeah I think Usman was tired, hurt to the body, and didn't want to take another hit to the midsection.
Leon noticed and capitalized.
@@ant3352 minute before the knockdown, Leon kicked hurt him T the midsection which was deemed low blow. So makes sense
He was actually slipping a jab from Leon , Leon throw out a fake jab w a head kick right behind it...beautiful set up

@@pablonunez2212 yeah he actually feints a jab and a straight. If it was just a jab he would have parried or leaned not both.

I don’t lmao, major karma, if he dies he dies, shouldn’t cheat 🤷♂️

@@J.D_chronicles It’s 10 times worse, on the masvidal KO he was only asleep completely after the initial blow, after the ground strikes he woke back up slightly.
