Spherical 5
This takedown defence from Edwards has been completely sensational.
Saying that, he’s down this time. Usman not making it depend but although, and he can’t. Edwards again on his toes. Into the ultimate minute we go! Robust spherical to attain… once more.
Elbow try from Edwards, but it surely’s Usman who lets his arms go in the previous few seconds. They usually’ve gone the gap!
Sensible struggle. I’ve bought it 47-47 – may go both method.
