UFC 278 was an amazing night of fight in Salt Lake City, Utah, which ended with Leon Edwards knocking out Kamaru Usman with an incredible head kick to win the welterweight belt.
There was also a really wild moment in one of the most anticipated fights on the card when Luke Rockhold was seen purposely smearing his blood onto Paulo Costa’s face during the final seconds of the third and final round of their fight.
Moments later Costa was named the winner via unanimous decision by the judges in what was likely Rockhold’s final fight of his career.
Check out this gross moment:
