The way his coach’s hand shakes as he dumps the water is truly breathtaking talk about manifestation

“YOU GOTTA PULL DIS SHIT OUT DA FIYAH!!” Hands down most uplifting saying I’ve heard

Actually this is one of the greatest moments in the history of the UFC, what a story👑

Damn I never knew his corner called for that kick like that, legendary

amazing, leon lost belief in himself but his corner still believed in him till the last second even though he was losing and down on the score cards

Wow the importance of having a corner ! They literally made this happen

This is stuff we see in fuckin movies!

This is by far the best camera angle of this kick

One of the BEST Ko's in UFC history, what a come back.

His brother yelling “cross kick Leon” right before it happened makes it even more stunning. A testament to having the right people in your corner who are able to see things from the outside looking in

This will go down in history as one of the most inspiring moments ever in combat sports

Till this day I still get chills .........OMG!

Man I’ve listened to his corner man hype him up like 200 times and it sends chills down my spine every time. Wild stuff

Jesus, it looks even faster and more powerful from this angle. Loved that one his coaches called for it, saying ‘Upstairs with it now’.

The knockout looks even more brutal in the clip, so savage

Leon wasn’t alone. His corner was with him in every step. They fought as a unit.

Dude,you can tell Leon was mentally broken even after his coach tried to fire him up. That's why you gotta trust your skills. He went out there and his training paid off.

This shit still gives me goosebumps, and the way Fabian called for the cross-headkick 👌🏼

Every single fighter need a coach like him

This, and the Max KO are my favorite moments in modern UFC history, and there's simply no close third.

Best moment in ufc history In my opinion. The passion in his corner....the hand shaking....how they're screaming for the cross head kick....last minute and he does it after being so down. Its just beautiful.

Literally the best knockout ever in the ufc

The fact his bro called it is amazing ❤ I love that nothing like brother love

Don't let him bully you son!

Straight out of a Rocky movie

beautiful moment!! and Leon's interview afterwards is also history 🔥

Goes to show how a brief few seconds of stern and thoughtful/intention filled motivation can change the course of whatever trials we may be going through. If Leon could take that moment to heart the way he did during battle like that, anyone reading this can "pull their shit out of the fire" too and make changes that result in better more favorable outcomes in their lives. For real. This is one of those moments where you can learn an important lesson through witnessing someone else's experience rather than having to experience it yourself. Learn from others experience, it saves a lot of time and hardships when you are open to learn through what you see other people doing. Picturing someone giving you this sort of talk during your difficult moments where your thoughts are telling you that you aren't enough or that you can give up. Done ever fucking give up , don't ever fucking tell yourself you aren't enough or that you aren't capable. Never let the thoughts control your decisions fully, thoughts come from nowhere and often times contain nothing useful or positive for us, use your heart and your soul to push through tough times and tough tasks. It is capable of guiding us way more than we give it credit for. Intuition.

I'll never forget this moment as long as I live.

I love coming back to this every so often. Gives me goose bumps and onion eyes every time!!!

I didn’t know someone in his team actually told him to do the cross head kick high , wow What a moment

Cross left kick call is amazing too and his hands shaking while doing the water is amazing

I love the love and connection that the coach has with his fighters 💪🙏

"LOOK AT ME NOW "

Can't believe Usman let that land even after hearing leons coach yell it out 10x 😂😂

It’s doesn’t get more British than shouting “stop feeling sorry for yourself” and the person answering “I’m not” then the other person saying “well what’s wrong with you then!” Haha love it 🇬🇧

The Head Shot Dead moment is one the greatest moment of all time in UFC history. At this very moment, Leon elevated himself and forever locked GSP as the best of this era. Thank you for that Leon!!!!

Damn, the coach was shaking, lol.

Dave Lovell deserves an award for most clutch speech

"Double jab kick" the second he throws it is insane

Wow this moment goes down in history incredible work from leon and his corner

My favorite moment in UFC history.

"Don't let him bully you, son!" - Mojahed Fudailat

Nothing in the sport makes me happier than when a fighter listens to his corner and it WORKS. “Cross to head kick” and it worked beautifully.

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself” and “Pull it out the fire” was just what he needed to hear! Leon and his coaches are an incredible team!

English pride! My man from the little island! Fucking love this!

Belal Mohammed in 1

That "STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF" HIT SO HARD. 😮 Wooooo💯💪🏿

Saw a man go from defeated to crowned king in moments

If this clip doesn't give you goosebumps you're not human!!!!!

"Stop lettin' him bully you son." He stopped.

I'm convinced this is the single best moment in UFC history, and I've been watching since the very beginning.

One of the best moments to ever happen in the UFC

Amazing coaching and anyone who’s had a shitty coach can appreciate that even more

Wow! Each of these guys played their part just perfectly. This should go down in history as one of the greatest team achievements ever in mma

I remember Leon's said, holding his belt "Look at me now, Look at me now", still gives me goosebumps...☝️

What an inspiring message to his fighter...and a perfectly timed "stay sharp" from the other cornerman makes team effort come full circle!

I love the encouragement speech by the coach it really motivated Leon 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

One of the best UFC moments. That's a real coach at work 💯✊

I will always remember that night, truly an amazing fight night. To overcome something like this really inspires me.

I GUARANTEE he heard his Brother EVERYTIME he called for that headkick!! 👍🏾

People forget about this. This is one of the best KO’s in UFC history.

Personally for me this IS the GREATEST knockout i have ever seen! There have been so many incredible ko’s but this was just something else. The rounds leading to it… his corners unwavering belief and encouragment… aniks call and BOOM! Headshot dead!! Truely a beautiful moment in time!

When "impossible is nothing" means exactly that. One of the most inspiring moments in my life. This literally changed my perspective about myself and gave me a "never-giveup" attitude. That " look at me now" at the end got me in tears! What a moment! What a story!!

Leon's coach hand was shaking when he poured water .. He was that passionate ❤

This is a top 5 most inspiring things I've seen in UFC, maybe even outside the UFC. This was just beautiful cornering and a perfect setup for the k.o.

His brother calling out the kick over and over gave me chills man

He is bullying u son ... Don't let him bully u son -coach / Usman 💯💥👊🏻😎

Some of if not the literal greatest in fight coaching ive ever witnessed, leon was down and all but out, and his coach pulled him head first out of the shit, theres no sport in which you can succeed entirely alone and this is the greatest evidence of that.

Crazy how his brother was screaming the move to win it all, insane moment in ufc history

By far my favorite moment in combat sports history. Just the way leon was losing, how dominating usman was in the division and how late the kick happened. I absolutely lost it. My eyes were glued to the screen hoping for a last round knockout

The coach said CROSS, HEADKICK like 3 times before he did it. Leon was calculating the perfect time. 🔥 this is a movie in real life 🔥

Genuinely I believe that this is the greatest knockout in UFC history. A huge underdog with an amazing backstory, beating the #1 pound for pound fighter in the UFC, (who was making a case for best greatest welterweight ever) with a flash KO head kick after being dominated and counted out for 4+ rounds. Then to solidify that it wasn't a fluke, Leon outclassed Usman in the rematch. They need to make a movie about Leon Rocky Edwards. It is a legendary story.

Great coaches and instructions. It ain’t over till it’s over.

You can hear his coach tell him to kick multiple times one hell of a coach way to keep his motivation up

Great coach. Talked to sense into him when we wasn’t feeling confident.

One of my favorite corner moments ever.

Dam that speech just gives anyone that has that competitive edge, f@cking chills. That coach was speaking from his heart and his belief in Leon. Goosebumps……

That was so beautiful. How he flinched low looked low and went high

That Jamaican accent coach saved him 😅

This is what happens when you got the right people on your side. Great job by his corner!

One of the most epic moments in combat sports history.

Still one of the most beautiful knockouts I've ever seen, especially In a title match

I don’t think there’s ever been a sweeter head kick knock out to a world champion in his prime

Bro pulled that shit out the fire like a phoenix and rose in a blaze of glory 😂

What an amazing moment. It’s moments like these and Max’s ko at 4:59 at ufc 300 that make this sport the best sport ever.

The importance of coaching in fighting is so paramount.

As a TKD blackbelt this is how every fight in my mind goes down 🥋

As if mickey's speech to Rocky was manifested in real life. This gives me effing goosebumps every time I hear it.

Maybe the greatest moment in ufc history! Good for you champ

One of the most beautiful moments captured by the UFC.

His coaches literally lead him to victory. What a team! Leon earned that sh*t boi!

This needs to become a modern day movie now.

That's the self talk I give myself every morning.

This us by far the best moment ive ever seen in combat sports.

When your coach & corner knows you better than you know yourself. Can you image the gratitude and joy as a coach after that head kick.

Damn, something relatable to life in this. All of us have been Leon there. Love this sport man

His coaches screams are filled with love and belief.

He owes everything to his coaches

Put some headphones on and listen to that that man ain't never been the same since that head kick he'll never play with matches again😂😂😂😂

That was one of the best moments in MMA history 🎉
