This past Saturday, pound-for-pound king Usman took on the reigning welterweight champion Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC 278 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Usman went into the bout as the long-time undefeated titleholder and had been dominant in his run at the top. However, a kick to the head from Edwards blasted Usman off his throne.
Henry Cejudo & Abdelaziz were both in attendance in the reserved section close to the action at Vivint Arena. Edwards looked like he got a good first round in, being the first person to score a takedown over Usman. The rest of the bout went mostly as expected with Usman dominating his way through Edwards. Usman looked set to come out on top of the judges’ scorecards until the final minute of the fight kicked in.
During the fifth round, Cejudo seemed confident Usman would be victorious and told Abdelaziz, “Hey Ali! Easy money bro, easy money.” Just a minute later, with only 56 seconds left in the entire contest, Edwards shocked the world by knocking Usman out cold with a head kick heard around the world.
You can see a dejected Abdelaziz and a bewildered Cejudo share their reactions below. The footage also captures live reactions from the crowd in that section of the arena.
For the full reaction, you can check out a longer version of the video on Henry Cejudo’s official YouTube channel.
Edwards made the most of a highly-anticipated title shot. He became only the second British fighter ever to win a UFC belt, walking in the footsteps of the first Englishman to hold the promotional gold, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping.

Promising to bring the lightweight title back to Dagestan, Islam Makhachev is confident in his ability to defeat the current champion, Charles Oliveira. Sharing that same sentiment, Makhachev’s manager Ali Abdelaziz has voiced his prediction for how he sees the fight going.
Currently riding a 10-fight win streak, Makhachev is proving that the current wave of Dagestani fighters is among the most lethal and devastating in the world. Making short work of his last two opponents, a pair of first-round finishes over Bobby Green and Drew Dober respectively have now seemingly opened the door to a title shot for the young contender.
"That's the fight! That's the fight!"

Known for never being afraid to voice his opinion, no matter how controversial, Ali Abdelaziz had a lot to say regarding his fighter’s first UFC title fight against Charles Oliveira.
“Finally Charles (Oliveira) signed the contract,” Ali Abdelaziz began. “…You know what Islam (Makhachev) going to do, he’s going to play with Charles… Charles is a very nice kid, he comes from a humble beginning. But, when they get inside the cage, Islam (is) gonna show there are levels to this.”
“Everybody say(s) Charles was the champion… I think Khabib let him borrow the belt, for Islam to have it (by taking it from Charles Oliveira). I don’t think he was ever the champion…”
“In my opinion, he might be the best grappler in the UFC right now… This isn’t about Brazil or Russia. It’s about who’s going to be the best. And I can assure you, on October 22nd, that Islam is gonna play with him. And I mean play with him.”
Obviously confident in Islam Makhachev, the world will just have to wait and see what happens when he and the champion collide at UFC 280 in October.
Do you think Islam Makhachev beats Charles Oliveira?
MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz says that the UFC will not wait on Charles Oliveira to move forward. Charles Oliveira and his camp have been on record in saying that there’s no interest in fighting Islam Makhachev in October in Abu Dhabi, and that if t…

Dominance MMA Management CEO Ali Abdelaziz has tipped UFC middleweight contender Marvin Vettori to hold gold before reaching the age of 30.

Dominance MMA Management CEO Ali Abdelaziz has tipped UFC middleweight contender Marvin Vettori to hold gold before reaching the age of 30.
Vettori, who, like Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, and Islam Makhachev, is managed by Abdelaziz, has made 12 walks to the Octagon since joining the MMA leader in 2016, amassing an 8-3-1 UFC record.
During his time in the promotion, “The Italian Dream” has had his hand raised against names like Jack Hermansson, Kevin Holland, and Paulo Costa. But two of his three defeats came against reigning champion Israel Adesanya, the most recent of which saw the 28-year-old fall short of winning the title at UFC 263 last June.
Despite that, Vettori’s manager still sees big things for him, not just later in his career, but within the next couple of years. During an interview with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto, Abdelaziz suggested that Vettori will be sitting on the middleweight throne by the time he is 30.
“I truly believe that Marvin Vettori, still 27 (28), by the age of 30, Marvin will be a world champion,” predicted Abdelaziz. “Marvin Vettori’s a very, very young guy in the game. I’m trying to make him come down a little bit because he’s crazy. And one thing about Marvin Vettori that you cannot take away from him, Marvin Vettori will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime, if he’s halfway healthy.”
Vettori was scheduled to face former champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 275, but the Australian withdrew due to injury. As it turns out, the Italian wasn’t without his own niggles in camp…
Further in the interview, Abdelaziz revealed that Vettori had been battling his own injuries while preparing to face Whittaker on June 11. He claimed that the #3-ranked contender was keen to prevent the UFC from finding out in order to keep the matchup together.
“Marvin Vettori was injured this whole camp, and he didn’t want me to say nothing to the UFC because he didn’t want to pull out,” revealed Abdelaziz.
Having failed to secure a replacement opponent for the Singapore-held pay-per-view, Vettori’s booking with Whittaker has been re-arranged for UFC Paris on September 3.
With both men having sufficient time to recover and enter the fight at 100%, Abdelaziz believes that the Aussie’s withdrawal was a “blessing in disguise” for his man.
“When Robert Whittaker pulled out, it was a blessing in disguise almost, in a way. But he was gonna fight regardless, in June,” said Abdelaziz. “But now, both guys healthy, we get the best fight from Marvin Vettori, and we get the best Robert Whittaker. Nobody has an excuse.
“I believe Marvin Vettori’s gonna come out on top and beat him,” added Abdelaziz. “He’s getting better everyday and he’s very scary right now. H’s very motivated.”
Having already rebounded from his five-round championship loss in 2021 with a memorable decision win against Costa last October, Vettori will be looking to move closer to another crack at dethroning “The Last Stylebender” at the expense of Whittaker.
Should he have his hand raised in France, “The Italian Dream” will certainly be on his way to bringing Abdelaziz’s prediction to life.
Do you agree with Ali Abdelaziz? Will Marvin Vettori become champion within the next two years?
