Can't remember the last time I was this happy for a fighter.
Probably when Rose head kicked Weili
@@MRios1128 Maybe when she first beat Joanna actually.
He got lucky, anyone with half a brain knew Leon was losing the fight bad and didn’t want to be there. He was acting as if it was as a close fight lol. I’m glad Marty got KO’d though…..Bhahaha.
I know right. Rocky capturing his dream and Rockhold going out as a Tough as they come hero. Congratulations all around 😁😁
@@GhastlyCretin85 because you hate the opposite side so much?
Everyone said he was the unluckiest fighter in the UFC. A lot wrote him off as just being another win for Usman. Now he’s the champion - truly inspirational stuff.
Usmans coming back!!
Now he became the luckiest fighter took a beating all rounds except 1 and got a KO
@@FullyLooted after that ko on the campus where he had no idea what's happening, I highly doubt usman will never be the same again.
Not even his EPO will help him to comeback🤣
@@rohithgts7 LMFAOOO
@@rohithgts7 The CEO of EPO will fire his chemist after this loss. Just ask Colby Covington.
“The belt belongs to no man!” Was probably the most badass post fight statement I’ve heard. Definitely one of the ufc all time great moments and why I love watching this sport.
I don’t understand it tho? Does it not belong to himself now?
@@ryangallagher3291 he meant that it will come a time when they will lose the belt
@@ryangallagher3291 that's what I initially thought too. It's one of those "ok that was pretty cool" then you rethink it and you're like "wait that makes no sense" 🤣 Either way have Usman in the rematch. Pena Nunes 2.0
@@thesupernaturals1070 13:18
@@ryangallagher3291 Everyone was counting him out. He was going for the pound for pound king who had won 19 straight fights and beat him the last time. The overall sentiment was that it is Usman's belt and that he was going to fight khamzat next. Just because you have the belt doesn't mean that you deserve to keep it. You can lose it at any time. The belt belongs to nobody!!
This is literally a movie waiting to be made. The most over looked underdog, years of being seen as not worthy, no one believed in him, the emotion his coaches had for him during the fight and the final last minute of the fight… KO’d the pound for pound number 1, unbeatable champion…… I teared up for Leon… the true under dog story. Can you believe it? No one thought he would win….
Real life Rocky Balboa
I did, if you’re from brum you know this guy means business
@@ExposeEm419
You don't have to be a brum to know Leon is an elite MMA fighter. Guy has looked levels above people since the Cerrone win.
Volk is the new p4p now
some of us did some of us believed in him all along
"Pound for pound what ..this belt belongs to no one " those words struck deep because they are an Indication of humility..
BIG difference from usmans “I’ll take the 205 belt then box Canelo”
Can't hate an ambitious man cmon
Well said 👏
@@thestrongest3050 His ambitiousness comes with an arrogance.
th-cam.com/users/shortswESowiZlvv0?feature=share finally its here.
Guy lands a wicked head kick that he SETS UP DELIBERATELY, champ falls, and yet still people STILL SAY it was just luck. Give the man his respect.
HEADSHOT, DEAD
mate i've seen usman fans trying to use edwards' lacklustre performance from round 2 as evidence that usman is better, when if anything the opposite is true. like leon says in this interview, he beat the pound for pound champ on an off-day (while also taking him down for the first time *and* knocking him out for the first time). this isn't even his final form
I’m not an Usman fan. The head kick was absolutely incredible and took a lot of skill. That said, Usman completely handled Edwards. First round he won, but 2-5 was all Usman and it wasn’t even close. Both have something to prove in the rematch…Leon took the belt with a decisive knockout but his performance was weak for me to say he is the better fighter.
Without the kick Usman wins 3-2 rounds. It was a lot closer than it looked because of the easy takedowns in 2,3 and 4. The commentary made it look lopsided as well. Usman will lay on him next time for a 5 round snoozer imo.
@@noahziegler3478 I don’t think it was close. All judges had Usman up 3-1 going into the 5th. Edwards body language in the corner affirmed what we all saw. But hey, it’s a 25min fight so you have to finish…but a really weak performance overall from Edwards.
“The belt belongs to no one” Means you have to earn that belt every time you step in the cage. Well said, Leon.
At first I didn't get it but damn he's on point.
if theres a rematch though, i bet usman can just play it safe and wrestle only instead of standing with him. he did good standing btw but he was much better grappling naturally and he can make it a boring fight if they do a 3rd fight just to take belt and idk how leon would deal with that. Props to him though i thought he was gonna lose, pulled it around real nice there.
@@denizkenger52 well, the fights start standing
@@Dudecifer yeah but he kinda showed he can take Leon down pretty consistently. He just gets too carried away striking imo, his jab is so good dont get me wrong and he was winning on scorecards but its a risk against Leon to strike with him when his kicks are so deadly (not just head kicks, Leon’s any area kicks are just so precise even if not ko it’ll slow usman down).
I think rematch will be more grappling if it goes decision (Usman win) or early round KO/TKO from either one due to a mistake from the other like bad footing or lowering hands from feint.
Thats my take obvsly. Really looking forward to next fight, though i did wanna see Khamzat as well
@@denizkenger52 so who does Khamzat fight after Diaz while he waits 9 months for a title shot? CC?
Leon edwards is the example of what happens in life when you dont give up.
I also had the exact same thoughts this morning
I love how he stayed quiet and shit too. Very humble guy.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt happier for someone I’ve never ever met. Well done great win ♥️🇯🇲

🇯🇲🇯🇲
Respect from your neighbors 🇧🇧we need a champ now😭
That win almost made me cry.
🇯🇲💯
Leon Edwards has absolutely proved himself greatly, people need to truly put some respect on his name. Great win
@Far Hat bro if it was a real fight to the death, Usman just died there when he got KO’d, so that’s a loss dude
Yep was a fluke boring b4 that head kick but what a head kick
@Far Hat you’re just a salty Nigerian usman got knocked out cold loser and it’s not a fluke clown watch the fight and you see he set up the kick with feints and didn’t just throw it up
@@KanoBroses not a fluke watch the setup this isn’t nunes vs Peña or sera vs gsp
Absolutely 💯 I'd love to see him fight Jorge just to settle the beef but Usman will get a rematch a good way for Leon to defend his title Usman is a beast for as long as he has been on his win streak I know he will bounce back looking forward to seeing you go at it again guys & congrats to Leon.
Leon took Usmans win streak, his clean takedown defense record, P4P status, gave him hus first KO, and took the championship belt all with one chin to the dome. Congratulations Leon! Well deserved.
So true. Shin 2 the dome. If he put a chin to the dome they be kissing.
@@duramaxdad Damn autocorrect smoked me. 😂 Chin lol. We saw Rockhold put his chin to the dome of Costa and smear that blood all over his face 😭 I was like, is this really happening?
Colby took Usman down, but being classic Usman he held onto the fence so it wasn't officially recorded as a takedown.
His win was absolutely triumphant !! The post fight statement, His call to his mom via face time, backstage with belt on shoulder , got me right in the feels 🥲👊 on ya mate ! Well deserved 👏
Leon no one can ever take that away from you. You made history! 1st time to take him down and the first to knock him the fuck out. We all proud of you in the UK 🇬🇧🏴🇯🇲
Colby first to take him down actually
@@brendan4160 we all counted that as a takedown. But the UFC statisticians didn't count it officially.
@@brendan4160 Wrong, the UFC officially said it wasn't a take down so that's Leon's.
@@kytr4318 everyone and they momma knows Colby took down kamaru. I don’t care what the ufc says lol. If you don’t think that was a takedown then you probably stop watching combat sports.
Innit. You and your madmen
Nobody deserves this big W more than Leon. Doubted and slept on for years and years. Absolutely delivered. Excellent head kick KO.
Delivered what? He got his ass kicked for four minutes and 30 seconds and lucked out with a head kick.
@@williamrose7184 you're a s*cker, he kicked Usman's head into another realm. His head still bouncing up and down on Mars. He ended Usman's career.
@@williamrose7184 right I watched the whole fight & he was loosing, just got lucky with the head kicked, usman should've finished him early rounds
@@chadetter1821 it wasn’t luck, usman zigged when he should’ve zagged, there wasn’t anything lucky about that beautiful set up the 1-2 faint to the headkick, usman was just over confident
Same story as the fight with Nate
I nearly cried during his octagon speech so happy for Leon
Hearing his coaches guide him throughout the entire match was literally out of a movie
When they screamed “Stop feeling sorry for yourself” I felt that in my soul

It's cool but it goes to show the disadvantage foreign fighters have and why UFC isn't big in Asia.
That fight was crazy. First round was a eye opener, then it went the other way, until the ending of the 5th. Congratulations to Leon, awesome finish and well deserved. Hopefully he can hold it for a few fights.
High altitude played a big role in the later rounds. Usman is used to it. Look at Rocky, Costa, rockhold and aldo. They all struggled way more than normally
I love ur ending statement 👌

Shed a tear for this man last night. What a story what a fight 👏🏽
Felt his emotions thru my screen during his post fight. Was not particularly a fan but man can never hate. This is mma. Truly a rocky balboa moment and flipped the ufc world on its head with one movement. Amazing and can’t waiting for usman v edwards 3.

The journey this man has been on, the giant he was up against, wrote off his whole career, commentators saying he has accepted defeat and that surviving till the end was a moral victory. It ain’t over till it’s over, what a story, what a journey, put some respect on this man’s name, ROCKY!!
I have never been so shocked in my life watching a fight. I couldn't be any happier for Leon, what an amazing story. It honestly looked like he gave up on himself and then out of no where he stopped time for a few minutes....I love this sport.
Leon is the most underappreciated and undermarketed fighter in recent history. He's always been a threat and a talent but he is also just a bloody lovely guy.
Deserves all of this and I hope it lasts a while
undermarketed ? ufc literally gave him nate diaz a free win so that he can make a name for himself and it’s difficult to promote someone with the voice like that and no personality
Most people overlooked him because he was boring and doesn't act like Mcnugget
@@meharvan3550 Even if he win the fight against Nate Diaz.. People still boo and disrespect him
@@mavvynne444 because he got almost knocked out at the end and that is his fault had he finished nate diaz which everyone expected he would’ve gotten fans respect
I'm from Leon's home city but lets be honest the dude has the charisma of a wooden table. Even his voice doesn't help. I know these things shouldn't matter but this gamesis as much entertainment as fighting. Usman is similar its a fact that if u don't have charisma u have to work harder to achieve your goals. Its only recently that Usman getting respect and pound for pound talk. His early fights were boring as fuck . Actually it was the Colby fights which really helped partly because of Colby making shit entertaining. I'm not saying Leon should change cos that would be fake but awkward personality means your fighting has to do the talking and even his style can make boring fights . Look at the stupid comments saying he was lucky. He just needs to win fights. A win when they rematch would really shut people up. Adesanya gets away with boring wins mainly because he's good on the mic so Leon needs to keep winning people will come round like they did for usman
Good on edwards ! So happy for the man an he truly deserved this . One of the few people I’ve heard be so humble about being British. My home an my people has given him an his family a better life an opportunity, an he’s decided to give something back. Truly Inspirational. Makes us all proud! Be rooting for him in the rematch for sure.
I was totally going for Usman but I am so happy for Leon. He went through so much and got passed up so many times. Much respect
Like your name man!
Even if he loses the rematch, what an incredible journey to win the title. UFC did this guy dirty for years. Congrats.
I like leon but people act like he beat the best of the best but the fact is he mostly beat mostly bums only good wins he got is dos anjos and vincente luque all of the rest would 100% destroyed why most people in welterweight i dont see him getting disrespected just beat bad competion
@@danablack511 he literally ko'ed p4p number 1
@@danablack511 why do people find excuses to take this moment away from Leon? I've seen all over twitter people saying that Usman took a dive. Why can't people just accept that Leon is the real deal and he just knocked out Usman.

One of the best mma stories there ever has been. Congratulations Leon! Couldn’t have happened to a better dude

th-cam.com/users/shortswESowiZlvv0?feature=share finally its here.
One minute left on the clock, the steps were heavy and hands loose, the whole crowd was silent and announcers called his early defeat. It was there, the whole fight. He was feeling the pressure but it's not the same guy usman was facing before, leon wanted it more. Leon felt it more.
The guys raised by gangsters, born on the great land Jamaica had the whole UK on his back. Bermingham was cheering slowly with their hands clasped and hearts praying. One moment for eternal glory, mom's love travelled in his veins and the rage of redemption drove him sane. He counted the shots, moved right to throw the left. Boom!
Headshot and the king was laying dead, there's a new king to hold the mantle and leon showed why was the Rocky afterall.
He faced the creed to win it all.
P4P Who he said and shook the world, showed will against the adversity and everyone was looking at him now.
The new welterweight king is here, leon the fooking rocky Edwards showed the world.

This guy lives 20 minutes from me, people from Birmingham/West Midlands never get any shine like this in general, not the most glamorous part of the UK but especially in the UFC who seem to be obsessed with scousers and London recently. Truly inspirational. Bet that cocky bum Till would beg to fight Edwards in ‘that shithole’ Brum now. BIG UP LEON
"I need to sharpen up on my finishing." That's why he's the champ, because he has a champion's mentality. And because he kicked Marty's head off.
The way Leon set up that head kick was just perfection 💯
He didn't set up shit,.that shit was survival.mode.and he got lucky. Mofucka was out
Nah that was dirty and cheap shot. Hit us man in the balls and kept kicking at dick height and lifted it up to KO usman. Stop dick kicking for setups .

He is such a sweet person... M so so so happy for him!
The happiest I’ve ever been watching MMA, Usman was getting annoying and all the UFC was calling him the greatest WW when GSP had like 12 title defences compared to Usmans 5 was straight up crazy.

What a G. Shoutout to his corner too. Saw a video of the corner calling for the head kick moments before he threw it. Brilliant corner, great example of a corner doing what they should be doing.
1. Leon got rocked by Nate in the 5th round, and KO'D Usman in the 5th to win
2. Usman was about to break Anderson Silva's Record, but Leon beats Usman in the 5th like Anderson Sliva vs Chael 1 in the 5th
3. Luke Rockhold was on the card (UFC 199)...
Damn, mma is so meta sometimes
None of these things are relevant or "meta"
@@SK-ix8jb I say Bars cuz that’s a meta-verse
Congrats Leon, I was getting ready to pack it in for the night & then came the shot that shook the world.I was telling my friend that there is almost always an upset that shocks everyone. But the last minute of the night ...OMG!!
Thanks for the video, THEMACLIFE
Happy for this humble guy hope he stays humble and don’t change
@Jack Torrance I couldn’t agree more
his very humble i hope he keeps it for a long time very good accomplishment
Whilst every one was tuning in to see AJ you went and made us proud bruh!
Not only you gave us a champ after many years you kod the p41 best!
We don't call you rocky for nothing!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 our champ Leon 🏆 🏆
wasn’t AJ’s fight hours before this one
Leon has a champions mentality unlike AJ spitting his dummy out and making it all about him throwing other peoples belts around
@@matthewjohnson163 AJ was a champion though… 2x. He just had a tough fight he’s only human, clearly the emotions got to him
The belt couldn’t have been in better hands congrats Leon Edwards second British champ!
Look has all my respect to him, great individual and always a good role model. I'm super happy for him.
By far my favorite champ! Solid human, it's nice to see
I’m smiling from ear to ear right now
Goosebumps… and pride for a dude I don’t know
How amazing is this sport…
I am emotionally attached to this fighter. I am so happy that leon win and making create new history
After round 4 you could see Leon dazed and confused zoning out and his coach snapped him RIGHT TF OUT OF IT and got him back in the fight. Congrats to Leon and his whole team..he owes his corner everything.
Just goes to show to never take anything for granted, Usman has been such an unstoppable force, I don't care if you don't like him for whatever reason, as a fighter he was and still is an absolute beast. It's new territory for him and I think he's going to need some time to reflect and not only focus entirely on securing a rematch either way. At the same time, their next fight should be against eachoter, if anyone deserves a chance of redemption, it's him, so before Leon is dethroned, Usman deserve that trilogy fight more than anyone else, not taking anything away from Leon, brutal kick that would take the head off clean on most people, madness.
nah fuck usman
Who else is glad usman got humbled?
There are a lot of them.. usman was chasing greatness asking people what if he beats light heavyweight champion prochazka.. would they consider him the best ever
Now he got humbled in his own division
I don’t really understand the hate towards Usman, but at the same time I don’t personally enjoy his style. Laying on and grinding against Leon, without really inflicting any damage, for 3.5 rounds made it all the more enjoyable to watch Leon land that perfect headshot 💥
@@plain-bagel No hatred for Usman
Personally he was one of my favourite until the 1st Colby fight after that his head got big..
He became arrogant, started talking like he was the best, jumping up 2 divisions for light heavyweight title and asking people would they rate him the best ever if he does that.. it gives a feeling this guy need to be humbled
He got humbled today.. now he won't talk like that again
Such a great dude. Not many championship wins match this one in recent memory.
Came back late from a night out and decided to watch the fight live, don’t regret it, crazy KO good stuff by Edwards
