The UFC 278 results featured exactly what you would expect from a massive UFC pay-per-view card. Knockouts, submissions, and oh yeah, the end of one of the greatest title reigns in UFC history.
The event from inside the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah was headlined by a monumental rematch in the welterweight division. As the top fighter in the Sportsnaut UFC welterweight rankings, and UFC pound-for-pound rankings, Kamaru Usman, aimed to defend his title for a sixth straight time in a rematch against Leon Edwards.
The champion won the pair’s original clash almost seven years ago by unanimous decision. History seemed on track to repeat itself and then Edwards stole victory from the jaws of defeat with an absolutely stunning head kick finish with 57 seconds left in the fight. Ending one of the greatest title reigns in UFC history.
The card also saw the return of former middleweight titlist Luke Rockhold in a grudge match versus Paulo Costa. As well as a major matchup in the bantamweight division as UFC legend Jose Aldo battled rising star Merab Dvalishvili.
Let’s take a look at the biggest winners and losers for the UFC’s lone PPV event in August.
