ICYMI: UFC 291 prelim fighter channels Leon Edwards with nasty head kick KO (Video)

Roman Kopylov secured a nasty head-kick KO of Claudio Ribeiro just 33 seconds into the second round of their UFC 291 prelim fight.

The move, which shocked the crowd and the commentary booth, was reminiscent of a moment that happened in that very same arena nearly one year prior.

Leon Edwards became champion when he knocked out Kamaru Usman with a head kick in the final round and the final seconds of a five round war he was losing.

That moment will live in the history of Edwards' career and the city of Salt Lake City.
