Chael Sonnen lauds Leon Edwards and Alex Pereira for their title-winning finishes, but they’re not his 2022 Comeback of the Year. Edwards (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC ) came from behind to land a stunning head kick knockout of Kamaru Usman at UFC 278 to capture the welterweight title. Edwards was down 3-1 heading into Round 5 before he blasted Usman with a perfect head shot. The finish came with 56 seconds remaining in the fight. Pereira (7-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) also was down 3-1 before he rallied to finish and dethrone middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in Round 5 at UFC 281. But for Sonnen, it’s Jiri Prochazka ’s submission of Glover Teixeira at UFC 275 that gets his pick.
