WATCH: When a UFC fan decided to watch Leon Edwards’ stunning KO from $200 The Weeknd concert seat

UFC has grown in popularity over the past decade. The company has a plethora of brutal fighters from all around the world. Every fight delivers high intensity and anticipation. Reports have stated that the UFC is worth $4 billion in 2023. The company has one of the most dedicated fanbases of all time. One of them has gone viral due to an incident.

At the UFC 278 that took place a year ago, Leon Edwards beat Kamaru Usman via knockout in round 5. The brutal head kick was a career-defining moment for Edwards. A UFC fan was caught by another fan watching a clip of the knockout at a concert. The performance in the discussion here is that of Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd. This was captured on camera by a fan behind him and shared on Twitter. In a short period of time, the tweet had gone viral.

“I guess I wasn’t the only UFC fan at The Weeknd concert,” captioned the user ‘mmagonewild.’ Despite The Weeknd’s performance, this fan decided to focus on the Leon Edwards win. While the people around him were immersed in the song, this fan was busy staring at his phone. His emotions regarding the win are unknown, as the footage appears to be blurry. And, his back faced the camera.

The fight between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards is a UFC mainstay. It is now firmly established as one of the finest UFC trilogies. Leon won a decision in their most recent fight at UFC 286, which took place earlier this month.
