It’s amazing how Leon can just keep saying he knocked out Usman & Usman really can’t say anything back 😂😂
Usman dominated him that whole fight but yes was an amazing knockout
it was such a perfect setup that is why usman says nothing
@@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
@@Yepitsmedude Leon got up from all takedown attempts, Usman couldn’t get up round 1
@@triocha233 my point exactly
Leon deserves this spotlight, good for you, well deserved and well earned
Hopefully he can keep it up, but it will be hard
Yeee

Best corner a man can have true coach.
Brummy coaching always works a treat!
Don't let him bully you son
"I brought him into the game so I can take him out" 😂 Leon dropping banging lines.
Really? That was banging to you?
@@AlexZouhehe Yes, coming from Leon it was, because he isnt a trashtalker but that line was good
@@AlexZouhehe that selfie was banging to you?🤣🤳🏽💅
Headshot DEAD...... iconic
Literally cried wen he made the speech about his mum! Love u Leon ur a f###### legend!!!!!!
This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetics physique ever
So happy for Leon Edwards, such a humble, respectful guy, what a stunning KO! The journey Leon had to get a title shot + the way he won, legendary 👏👏👏🦵 Thanks for having him on GQ 🙌
Leon edwards is the man 👏👏👏
Here u again 😂
@@allkindofshortss 👋
He's a niga
Humble? I’m not sure about that, days after the fight he’s making crazy statements like “Usman isn’t that good”
Rocky shocked the world, and he’ll do it again
He did🗣
man predicted future
Lets go Rocky 🥷🏿
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.
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.
@@Matt-nj8we That eye poke was pretty bad, but I agree I think Belal might have felt what was coming
@@Matt-nj8we Belal clearly was injured and could not see with his eye, he’s on a 4 fight win streak after that Leon fight fake fighters don’t come back and fight real ones do, y’all love to hate on Belal but he dominated luque and completely outclassed wonderboy on the ground.
@@daysbefore54th kamaru is a fake fighter ? Okay
@@Matt-nj8we that’s the thing… it’s a sport. Relax dude it’s smart to know when to back out. Also that eye poke was bad 💀 chill out
It was one of the purest moments in MMA history. Everything happened when it needed to!
Leon's story is incredibly inspirational
“Preferably in the octagon” talking about Masvidal is hilarious
Such a humble and great person! He deserves all the good is getting and coming for him! ❤
Such a humble nice guy. Happy he’s champ, and looking for him to repeat this weekend
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!!!
“By kicking him in the head” 😂😂😂😂😂 I genuinely lol’d
Enjoying all the Leon Edwards content! Just gobbeling it up
Love Leon. So happy he got the big win!
He’s got a great personality.
Great interview!!!! ❤❤❤
Best post fight interview by far all time and it’s not even close. I still get chills when I see it again.
Insert Leon reply here (lol):
Leon ain't the only one getting goosebumps when remembering that moment.
Watching the fight live was insane
Go Leon! My favorite fighter 🎉 Champ!!
This is why leon edwards is the face of aesethetics
Big Leon fan from Florida, USA here!🙏🇺🇸
commenting twice for Leon and the Algo!
Go Leon 🥊 U’ve got this!
My man, he recognises the greatness of that Cain vs JDS fight
I love Leon, all the way from NY
Leon is so wholesome
Man you gotta love Leon, even with that accent , Rooting for you champ
You ever hear story about Leon, they said Leon, I said Leon. 🥊🔥
Awesome to see Leon getting mainstream love
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!
Let's go Leon
I'm going for Leon no doubt
Usman is going to wipe the floor with Leon.
Man like Leon! Big up!!
Big up leon Edward's from hmp to ufc 💯🏆🌍
Glad they threw in a question about his style. In my opinion he's been the best dressed fighter in the UFC for a long time.
Who’s here after the 3rd fight 🎉🎉🎉
and still.. lets go champ💪😤
thats crazy man one kick changed history
Leon doing bits out here
Leon lived up to his name Rocky 🔥 after being denied title shots for refusing to trash talk.. Disrespected by the ufc.. Finally getting the shot he earned .. Was losing the fight 1-3 rounds... And ended up knocking out the pound for pound in the final round ❤ straight outta a movie.. Now lets get that trilogy win Rocky lets go
HEADSHOT DONE
LOOK AT ME NOW!
Lets go Champ!
Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
Love from Canada
love 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.
Not the Usman arm profile picture😂😂 0:12
I love Leon
Let's go champ!
Awesome Champion. I love this guy!
Love you Rocky .....
LETS GO LEON
Now look at me now- Leon EDWARDS.
Nuff love Leon
By remembering the Rocky music
Let’s go Rocky 🥊
The man with the best physique
Birmingham is proud of you brother. The job is not done yet. Leon knockout!!!
LEON CHAMP!
i would like Leon to be a troll in these comments, but he’s just so honest
Leon is goated
Love leon
I hope he wins again.
Rocky Edwards 🦁
Cmon leon!!

I just Noticed the accent he has comes from not opening his mouth as he talked, i just tried it right now and i sounded just like him😂
Let’s go Rocky!
May the king live a long reign.
Goooooood~
Who’s here after he retained the belt🤙🏾
who’s here after he just defended his belt 🔥
Leon: you might not believe it, but it's actually me!
Me: We believe it G 😂
PLEASE GOD MAKE LEON EDWARDS WIN AGAIN, PLEASE.
Leopn Edwards should have the walkout song of Young Buck with his song "Look at me now"
let’s go leon, bring the belt back hone to the UK
Naming the channel “British GQ” is the most British thing I’ve ever seen
? ? makes 0 sense 🤣
What??
Yeah west Midlands ❤
Love leon but that was a miracle nothing else
As long as it doesn’t get to his head. He has to put everything into the rematch.
Hope he wins again
Leon ‘you know’ Edwards
Leon “Lucky Kick” Edwards
Hey men i was almost happy as you were when you finished Usman really hoping you get it done the same way agean but faster please
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.
and still💪😤
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.
@@Zedaso usman did go back to that style, relentless grappling
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.
Well said 👏, couldn't have said it better myself.
ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY
British British British British GQ.
And still good luck Saturday
Brums very own champ
Bury Juiceman!
