VIDEO: Bizarre KO Stuns Everyone at UFC 262 as Shane Burgos Suffers Delayed Concussion to Edson Barboza’s Strike

UFC 262 main card has gotten off to a brilliant start as featherweights Edson Barboza and Shane Burgos went to war. Barboza started the fight in an aggressive manner, piercing Burgos from his devastating kicks. After a war in the second round, the Brazilian claimed a finish on the third round.

It was a rather late reaction from Burgos after eating a heavy shot from Barboza. It’s rare to see a fighter give such a delayed reaction after being knocked out. Fans and experts and fellow fighters were fascinated to see the potential Fight Of The Night contender go down like that.

Holy smokes.

Edson Barboza KOs Shane Burgos in the third. Delayed KO. That was wild. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an emphatic delay like that before.

What is this sport?!

Bothe fighters were quick to show mutual respect afterward. Nevertheless, fans certainly enjoyed this bar-burner of a fight. One has to admit nothing less was expected with two technical brawlers like them go at it. Barboza certainly has made his claim to earn a top opponent next. What’s next for Burgos, remains to be seen.
