10 Fighters Who Fell Just Short of Massive Achievements

[@anmolkashyap8097]

Usman had so much to lose and the fact that he was winning the fight until the very last minute made that headkick from Rocky a legendary one. "HEADSHOT, bang! Dead"

[@Biscuitsgravy924]

Looking back at the Covington fight and the exact same thing almost happened. Colby sneaks a beautiful left head kick towards the end of the fight and lands perfectly on Usman except Usman eats that kick and eventually finishes the fight with 2 illegal shots to the back of covingtons head. Leon definitely took notes from that fight and got his own head kick to land flush

[@madgavin7568]

Conor really screwed up the Lightweight division in a number of ways. He cheated Khabib out of the title shot against Eddie Alvarez, cheated Tony Ferguson out of an undisputed title shot, potentially cheated Khabib out of that record you just pointed out.
