It’s amazing how Leon can just keep saying he knocked out Usman & Usman really can’t say anything back 😂😂

@Abel-sp8yf Рік тому

Usman dominated him that whole fight but yes was an amazing knockout

@pussy2361 Рік тому

it was such a perfect setup that is why usman says nothing

@Yepitsmedude Рік тому

@@Abel-sp8yf now that I look back, Usman would’ve won by decision but he didn’t truly dominate Leon tbh. Leon also won many stand up exchanges. Leon messed up shooting for takedowns at bad times which gave Usman points

Based Leon Edwards. One of the most underrated fighters on the roster. Signed to fight everyone. Burns when Masvidal ducked him for years. Masvidal who sucker punched Leon and fled the country from Edwards. Khamzat when no one would fight him until Burns. Was piecing Belal up until an accidental eye poke after so long out of the Octagon as it was. What a legend. I believe he deserved a title shot, that was 9 fights in a row.

@Matt-nj8we Рік тому

Was wounded when belal bi**hed out cus he knew leon was dominating and took the easy way out, true fighters keep fighting there's no quitting in a real fight.

I'm quite new MMA fan, my first event that I ever watched was UFC 264. I've watched most of the fights/events ever since, and Leon winning the belt is absolutely the greatest moment in the sport that I have personally witnessed. The kick, the speech afterwards and his story give me goosebumps when I think of it. Leon has become my favourite fighter, it was so cool to see him winning the trilogy last weekend. Seems such a cool dude, I hope he keeps the belt for a long time... Look at him now!!!

Definitely respect and appreciate Leon Edward’s and his work in the UFC. His win was deserving. I don’t think he is a better fighter than Kamaru but they are both elite fighters… for me Kamaru has the edge because he defended his belt many times against different styles so we will now see what Leon can do. Kudos to Leon!

To think the night Till fought Masvidal, Leon fought Gunnar Nelson, you could already see he was on the way to being a more well rounded, committed & professional as well as talented athlete. I thought then he had a better chance of being UFC champion before Till. Tills decline & Leon's trajectory has been amazing to watch.

@Stanky_Foot Рік тому

I think Leon will dominate this time around. Complacency is the sign of a champion at his downfall and that is what Usman showed before he lost to Leon. I know the circumstances are different, but I imagine this would be like the Aljo vs Yan 2nd fight where Aljo just improved all around and left Yan in the dust. This is what Leon will do to Kamaru.

@draco2xx Рік тому

and still💪😤

@Zedaso Рік тому

I really hope he does, but I doubt it. Usman can go back to his style that he went away from just to earn more money/be more entertaining. People have forgotten his old dominant grappling and wrestling game, he used to get booed for it but in desperate times he will go back to it. Hopefully Leon can counter it and win though.

@lewisprice2743 Рік тому

@@Zedaso usman did go back to that style, relentless grappling

@Nyarlarthotep9 Рік тому

Yeah, except Usman was utterly winning that fight until the kick. Props to Leon, and he deserves his moment, however if Usman goes out and does what he did in the first fight, and is wary of that kick, it's done. I'm hoping Leon learned a lot from the fight and has a better game plan. Because I don't think he's gonna find that kick again.
