Bro his story is legit a movie. Came back to fight the last guy he lost to only to get his ass whooped but get a motivating speech before the final round and pull of the best head kick in history (in my opinion) and win the belt. And then to rematch and fight like a champion and retain the belt . I've been a fan of the UFC for a long time and there's barely any story that can compete with the Champ Leon Edwards.
@Piped Golf nhl hockey is dope. Plus there is fighting in that too. Nhl and combat sports are the best. Tennis is dope too but hard to understand how crazy it is u
The message being conveyed in this video is that going to AKA/training with Khabib is not always the best choice. Although personally I think Gane needs new coaches in America and follow in the footsteps of Francis. Lopez has a low ceiling as a coach.
@@CiceroXVX True of that AKA message explained. But at the end of the day, those defensive tactics he had learnt there have proven worthy by the third fight. It looked real easy of him to having wiggled out of the arm locks and takedowns by Usman that day.

Leon has such a positive mind set someone I would love my kid to look up to. Had to go through so much shit and never let himself get disheartened. True Champion I hope he has a long reign and retires while still Champion.
I agree with Leon, too many fighters go 100% defensive against stronger wrestlers. Even if you are the weaker wrestler/grappler on paper, you have to be willing to go on the offensive, otherwise it's just too easy for the opponent.
Facts. I’d either wrestle offensively situationally or deal a lot of damage in between defending takedowns like Mcgregor vs Chad Mendes but that’s the more risky approach in my opinion. The sport has evolved a bit since then. Fighters have been starting wrestling offensively at least a little bit I feel like. Alex vs Islam for example. Nobody really expected Alex to go for take down which is why it worked so well imo in the 5th and Alex vs Izzy aswell because Izzy probably didn’t expect it.

i have zero issue with usman but couldnt help but root for leon just because of how. many. tiiiimes he was brushed off, how many more wins he had than friggin everyone to finally earn a title shot. he had earned it plenty and it wasnt happening for him, had to be frustrating. his no quit attitude is immense. frankly both are such stand up men and fantastic examples of what representing this sport can be... its about the skill, not the drama or throwing shit at a bus... i do really hope mma starts reflecting what being a martial artist really is historically and these guys did that i felt
I feel like this has now been flipped and usman in the most recent fight was going into it hyper aware and focused on not getting knocked out which in turn caused Leon to do what he does best and take control of the fight, beautiful result and well deserved
Leon has now beaten Usman twice, a feet no one else in the UFC has done which is crazy considering how good Usman has been in his last 7/8 fights. Big up, Leon! Well deserved.
@@deadingu meanwhile leon showed great defence 😅 so maybe his claim Is he didnt learn much but actually he did lol. But the whole thing is. Buddy only said that edwards went. So there is 0 proof it didnt help if anything it seems it helped him win the title.
@@uhmz1212 In the video Edwards explains that he trained at Aka for a couple of weeks in 2015, and that it created bad fighting instincts for him. So how would that have helped him in a title fight year 2023?
Leon's grappling is underated. Are we really going to ignore that he was able to not only defend but also take down guys like Kamaru and Colby? And let's not talk about his striking... he's better than he gets the credit for.
The difference in his takedown defence from the previous fight was crazy. He’s no slouch but Usman comfortably won the previous fight until the KO, this time Leon was comfortable with the deductions being the only reason why it was unpredictable
So pleased to see Mr Edwards where he is he deserves it, he was forever in the background plodding away getting avoided and not getting the big fights.. Now on the top absolutely brilliant to see.
They say at AKA he was quiet af. Trying to learn so much in such short time. Half of those Dagestan didn’t even know his name cuz he was there to learn
Wether it’s deserved or not, Colby was named next for the title. And you could clearly tell Leon didn’t want to fight Colby when brought up during the post fight press conference. I honestly think Colby is a harder matchup for Leon than Usman. MMA math doesn’t work for Leon in that case, that’d be wild if after beating Usman 2 times he goes and loses to Colby. Man I love this sport
Leon said no because Colby has done less than Khamzat to deserve another title shot. That's really saying something. Colby has the worst resume in the WW top 5. Leon is looking for the money fight with Jorge, which is even worse than Colby getting a shot, but at least there's a story there.
@Abdulkarim Elnaas he's not gonna fight Khamzat either. I'm a Leon fan, but he's making bs excuse. Ducking ppl is terrible for the sport too. Fight who they put in front of you. Simple. It ain't your promotion.
@@stefanj3601 he didn't say it sucked. He said he realized what he needed to do to win the fight. And his skills in wrestling improved, he became well rounded
No wonder he was the first fighter to truly take down Usman and have him defend from his back. He's training with the likes of DC, Khabib, and the Dagestan elites.
No, he was only at AKA for a short time. He got most of his wrestling defense back home. If AKA really got his wrestling defense up to this point. It would taken years, and Islam wouldn't fight him since they would be close. Fun fact: Leon was one of Islam first sparring partners.
he has the correct mindset to be a champion that he is. he was one of the few guys who accepted the fight with kamzat (according to dana) while the other fighters said no. he isn’t afraid of anyone because he wants to prove to himself he is the best . i’m not a fan of his but i respect his mentality
I root for Leon Edwards, I hope he has a really lengthy title reign. But I just don’t see how Leon defeats Usman unless it’s another perfectly timed/ fluky type kick or punch.
He fought Usman for the belt after already losing to him before and also while Usman was on a insane run which made him one of if not the best welterweights of ALL TIME? What are you talking about? And I wouldn’t be surprised if Colby won but America don’t claims Colby we don’t claim cowards who put on fronts and hide behind words.
@@newporttaylor2702 That's also after he ducked Leon when he was offered to fight him (After Khamzat pulled of their scheduled fight), and Colby rejected the offer and went on to fight a washed up Woodley who was on 2 fight losing streak. You're literally just bringing up his title fights (both of which he lost btw dibshit), that he only got off avoiding contenders and beating up senior citizens. So In conclusion you're basically just proving my point, and glazing Colby for losing close title fights (Which has nothing to do with what I said). And blatantly Ignoring that he's literally avoided fights against contenders that've called him out, Including Leon. Because he only wants to take fights he can win big money on against easy matchups, nothing else. And with Usman being one of the greatest of all time, that still makes Leon even greater, since he literally Is the only fighter to not only KO Usman, and beat him twice In his MMA career. But I understand that It's truly a shame that fans like you exist In this community to solely shit on others to meatride your favorite fighters (that haven't accomplished anything In the UFC, besides a placeholder paper belt). I leave you In your undying Ignorance. Which Is the only thing about you, that has any substance, because your takes obviously don't have any.
I hope you get him again Leon, you are a better person than he is. That whole team gets dirty when things aren't going their way. Just they are usually in control so everyone thinks they are class. Wrong!
Have to say I really doubted this guy to win against Usman, always thought he was top 2 or 3 behind Usman and Colby but man this guy truly is the dark horse of the WW division, his fight against Belal you could really see the skill gap. HEADSHOT BANG!!!
Great mentality and it showed in the trilogy fight, Leon’s game plan was perfect, especially focusing his attack on the body and the bad knees of Usman 👏🏼
The experience he gained from AKA and training with Khabib and defending takedowns was probably part of what’s made him so much better though. He’s right that you can’t just be defensive but the experience he gained from not only the training but also the experience of that loss was probably invaluable and the reason why he performed so much better in the other two fights with Usman.
Leon really imporved his wrestling skills🏆🏆🏆🏆what a champion👍👍👍😀😀 Absolutely deserves the credit😀😀😀😃works hard and willing to sacrifice and determine his MMA career😃😃😃👍👍😀😀🏆🏆🏆🏆Great work leon Edwards🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I love him being underdog in last two fights with Usman. Now the world knows him. I cried when he took that belt with the headshot kick. This man was screwed so often. I can't wait til he sleeps Masvidal.
we all love you brother you made our little tiny country stand up and be counted once again! we maybe a small country but we don't half pack a punch YES THE REAL LIFE ROCKY
Taken the belt from a proven champion and becoming champion in defending the belt against the the guy that ruled the division, Leon you deserve to be called Champion.

@@russl9582 thank you, i actually am! only watch the big names dating back to chuck liddell to now so yeah
where was the part about him training with Khabib?
AKA
he mentioned the 'champ' in aka
We definitely needed the subtitles! Thank you to whoever did it!!
What a champ honestly elite mentality. And wonderful skill all round
He'll fight anyone as long as it's someone he knows he can beat😂colby about to bring the belt back to the USA😂
Bring that belt so he can defend against nobody and run from contenders In the WW division, we get It bro.
He fought Usman for the belt after already losing to him before and also while Usman was on a insane run which made him one of if not the best welterweights of ALL TIME? What are you talking about? And I wouldn’t be surprised if Colby won but America don’t claims Colby we don’t claim cowards who put on fronts and hide behind words.
@@newporttaylor2702 That's also after he ducked Leon when he was offered to fight him (After Khamzat pulled of their scheduled fight), and Colby rejected the offer and went on to fight a washed up Woodley who was on 2 fight losing streak.
You're literally just bringing up his title fights (both of which he lost btw dibshit), that he only got off avoiding contenders and beating up senior citizens.
So In conclusion you're basically just proving my point, and glazing Colby for losing close title fights (Which has nothing to do with what I said).
And blatantly Ignoring that he's literally avoided fights against contenders that've called him out, Including Leon.
Because he only wants to take fights he can win big money on against easy matchups, nothing else.
And with Usman being one of the greatest of all time, that still makes Leon even greater, since he literally Is the only fighter to not only KO Usman, and beat him twice In his MMA career.
But I understand that It's truly a shame that fans like you exist In this community to solely shit on others to meatride your favorite fighters (that haven't accomplished anything In the UFC, besides a placeholder paper belt).
I leave you In your undying Ignorance.
Which Is the only thing about you, that has any substance, because your takes obviously don't have any.
Pain bro.
Cope tastes good, right babe?
And this is why Leon edward has the most athletic physique
Without subs. I wouldn't understand a word he says. He is a nice guy.
I hope you get him again Leon, you are a better person than he is. That whole team gets dirty when things aren't going their way. Just they are usually in control so everyone thinks they are class. Wrong!
Bro even the second match you got destroyed that leg shot is almost the same as Nate’s strike against you, if it actually knocked you out
HEADSHOT DEAD. AND STILL 🤡 SYM
Have to say I really doubted this guy to win against Usman, always thought he was top 2 or 3 behind Usman and Colby but man this guy truly is the dark horse of the WW division, his fight against Belal you could really see the skill gap. HEADSHOT BANG!!!
Leon's a good dude.
That ko was one of the best hail marys ive ever seen in sport.
Great mentality and it showed in the trilogy fight, Leon’s game plan was perfect, especially focusing his attack on the body and the bad knees of Usman 👏🏼
The people’s champion, the humble warrior, Rocky
met leon what a lovely person 🙏
Wow, never knew this. Makes sense. Amazing defense.
How can you not like this guy
Leon is a confidence based fighter, even in the 2nd fight before the head kick he looked down and out, his coach brought out of the fire in him
The experience he gained from AKA and training with Khabib and defending takedowns was probably part of what’s made him so much better though. He’s right that you can’t just be defensive but the experience he gained from not only the training but also the experience of that loss was probably invaluable and the reason why he performed so much better in the other two fights with Usman.
Thank God there is a subtitles. Otherwise that would have been harder to understand Birmingham accent :)
Seems like a good, humble man. Good champ.

I love him being underdog in last two fights with Usman. Now the world knows him. I cried when he took that belt with the headshot kick. This man was screwed so often. I can't wait til he sleeps Masvidal.
we all love you brother you made our little tiny country stand up and be counted once again! we maybe a small country but we don't half pack a punch YES THE REAL LIFE ROCKY
Trained with Khabib and did the Mcgregor Strut after winning. This man’s a legend 😂
He came straight from the trenches too real champ
Taken the belt from a proven champion and becoming champion in defending the belt against the the guy that ruled the division, Leon you deserve to be called Champion.
Yep too many fighters worrying what opponent is doing rather than trying to impose ur will. Give it everything you’ve got and if not enough so be it
He deserves all the success. Hats off Leon 🫡
Seems like such a solid guy, happy for his success.
LEON THE MAN I respect him more and more ❤️🫡
Thanks for the subtitles
Quickly becoming my favorite fighter. Go Rocky!
Champions mentality! Great stuff !!
Finally he's on top 💪 much respect 🙏
Keep that same energy when a BEAST NAMED COLBY CHAOS takes you down over and over Dog Walking you 😅
Keep this same energy and don’t cry “robbery” after Leon beats Colby. 🤣
He inspirational bro💯
Rocky era 🔥💯👌🏼 let’s goooo
