Adversity was this man's entire life. That entire fight was adversity, he found his opportunity to KO Usman a minute left when all hope was lost.... Absolutely incredible. Real life Rocky.

WORLD CHAMPION NOW! I love seeing a guy that knows poverty, hardship, and a LONG struggle in the UFC, finally get to lift his family into financial security and a great life. Respect for Usman too. He was way ahead on the cards and could have milked the last minute by running away the whole time. Instead he stayed aggressive like a man, and it cost him his world title. Respect that. Two legends.
