"He's a great competitor but a dirty human being" spoken like a champ!!! Well done Leon rooting for the real life Rocky
@@RiBA__His nickname is Rocky dude...
@@RiBA__ Leon "Rocky" Edwards
Jones called it remember
but wont fight Belal 😂
Shavkat will take that title from Leon!
There's something heartbreaking about seeing one of the most dangerous men in the world almost break down crying in regards to the comments made about his father being murdered. It's the fight game but comments like that are just unacceptable. Colby lost a ton of respect not only from his performance but also from his comments.
And lost all his fans including Donald trump !
Tons of fans too ,n why he keep pointing out on Donal Trump , that ain’t to political rally , that’s your time to get the belt back
True, not only he lost fans, but he doubled up during the cage interview like a robot, honestly I feel pity for the guy.
Colby's card for avoiding any heat "I'm just selling the fight but Im such a great person". His fans have to reassure everyone a thousand times
Agreed by many.
“A dirty human being”. Way to keep it simple and factual about Colby. Pure class shown by Leon by keeping his composure.
Thug*
what did colby say about his dad? Was it something…. disrespectful! buahhhh… yoo so cry cry hush hush my oh my.
Seriously tho, this edwards doing ok for being the lucky champ. Next fight he’s done
@@donsimons9810 exactly what a sore loser would say, “lucky”.
@@donsimons9810 he won. Let it go
@@magicsaint Nah I'm just ill informed. I didn't realize he beat usman a 2nd time. Gotta check that one out. Ok.. ok..
Anyone who’s lost their dad, or any parent understands his pain in this interview.
Lost their dad then someone tells them "your dads burning in hell 🔥🔥🔥" ...but the brother handled it well ❤
Colby always bringing ppls family into it. Last time he lost a tooth in a steak house. I guess he's to stupid to learn
When bad people say such things, and other people praise them for it, it can make good people feel like there isn't much order in the world. But Leon's actions are a great example of positive energy defeating negative energy in the end. I celebrate his name on this day.
Leon is a good guy but his father was a criminal and thats why he was killed. Leon himself said that in joe rogan show.
@@90ritesh90so? He’s gone now. I’d think most ppl have one in the family
Seeing Colby get outclassed was money well spent.
Fr😂
Duckington got mauled by a striker
Mauled? It was five rounds of nothing
Colby is a fake American. He act like a cartel that goes after your family
Iptv £25 for a year 👍🏻
Colby embarrassed himself in front of the whole world.
In front of trump to what a joke
It’s ok Trump won’t mind he’s made a career out of embarrassing himself 😂
@@fishingfamilyukI wish I could embarrass myself to being a billionaire…
@@fishingfamilyuknot really
@@fishingfamilyukooooo they are not gonna like that comment lmaooo
Leon was 13 years old when his father was murdered... arguably the worst age to lose a father. I'm so glad he was able to humiliate and beat Colby in the ring. Hopefully Leon wins his next fight to break the win streak record.
His dad was a criminal, keep in mind and Leon himself was a criminal.
@@thanos7753bruh still his dad …
@@thanos7753so the fucc what hunky😂
Iv known some what I think are genuinely bad people who commit crime, but iv also known some genuinely great hearted warm people who happened to be criminals. I would never be able to say that makes foul comments like that okay, even if it is just buissness. But at the same time i get the just buisness thing too.@thanos7753
@@thanos7753so people can’t change
Bro earned a fan not only by his performance but by the way he humbly handled that situation. True champ. Respect.
Right!
Leon is so humble, he even stopped his corner from making a drama in the ring. Didn't insult Colby but just facts for saying he's a terrible human being.
He was gonna shake his hand but his couch said nah
@@battlememesbyomari1979 was gonna comment same thing except couch was more like F that guy .....😅😅
Thought he would go out and do real damage but ended up being really cautious
Colby is delusional and detached from reality. So, of course he is in the Trump cult.
@@battlememesbyomari1979coach….sorry, I don’t like to be a spelling gimp but couch is a 🛋️
“He’s a great competitor, just a dirty human being” perfectly sums up Covington.
i dont even think hes a great competitor anymore either.
Not a great competitor at all .
Not even that great, hasn't beaten one top fighter who's been in his prime
Great competitor who doesn’t back his dirty mouth🤡
Leon is a good guy but his father was a criminal and thats why he was killed. Leon himself said that in joe rogan show.
Absolute class from Leon. “Dirty human being”. Spot on. Passing off gross disrespect as entertainment shouldn’t be celebrated, got what was coming to him.
His first act as the character was call Brazilians dirty animals. It’s why people loved him. He was about to get fired and after that he became a star
@@arod1766 nope that's the narrative he wrote for his loser fans to gobble up. UFC has the victory clause, he couldn't be cut without losing.
@@arod1766also, even if that were true, how is a blanket insult to an audience the same as a personal attack on his opponents family? Dumb logic.
This is what a real man looks like. Not afraid to cry in front of a crowd!!!
It definitely takes balls to do that.
I can’t even imagine the type of internal fortitude and strength it took to stay composed to execute a game plan against the guy who would say something so unthinkably cruel about your deceased father, just to sell a fight. Edwards has all of my respect.
💯!!!👍
Yup, he showed incredible maturity to not let it affect him in the way Colby wanted it to.
Reckon his dad was a good person? Very few murders by gun in the UK, i'd bet most of them had it coming.
@@andymac7584whether he was or not he’s still his dad. Jesus Christ lad u must really like a contrary opinion to defend Colby
@@andymac7584 does that make it Ok to say whatever he wants to innocent family members? What Colby said didn't hurt his dad, it only hurt a man who has lost his father.
Leon is a true champion. He didn’t take the bait. He stayed composed and got the job done. He also showed that he’s a true mixed martial artist. Very well rounded mentally strong fighter.
he said he spoke to ppl close to him-who calmed him down
Leon was like a hot knife slicing through butter. Great fight.
Feel like that was colby only gameplan to get leon mad and emotional in hopes that he would come out wild and swinging but then was surprised when he seen how calm and calculated he actually was when they fought
@@tired7140Truth hurts
@@IronOrchid-HQ sooo fist are truths? That makes no sense🤣
My condolences to Colby Covington's father. I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a son, for Leon Edwards is now Colby's new daddy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well said
😂😂😂😂💯
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Had us in the first half not gonna lie
The fact that Leon still praised him Colby as a good fighter shows how much of a humble good person he is
Leon just used Colby as a sparring partner to train his wrestling... In the title fight😂. I don't think there can be a bigger disrespect to a NCAA wrestler.
lmao true
Laugh so much reading this comment, I never saw so many truths in a few words
Colby is a good wrestler just not strong and doesn't fight much hope now he fights more often
Bloody hell that is so true
100% accurate! 😂
Bro just casually matched two of the best wrestlers in UFC history back to back with ease
Duckington wants the flyweight belt next
*passed prime
Even kamaru gave him a closer fight after getting ko’d by Leon
@@mikej5541us usman past his prime after being reigning ww champ? 😂
His next fight will be against another top wrestler on the UFC all time list
Wow how classy is Leon Edwards? What a champion, nobody would of questioned him if he did respond in any derogatory manner but he didn't and didn't let his team either. HUGE RESPECT!! 👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Leon Edwards is pure class, humble, and still stayed,cool,calm and collective
So happy for Leon
The best
So happy for Ian Garry
Fooled by wwe)😅🤣😂👆
he ended the fight on his back against a washed up wrestler. hes the most pathetic "champ" in history. Belal was right, this "title fight" was an embarassment to the division
@@bTek-9womp womp
And with that, Colby cements his legacy as the guy that stuttered through pressers and never got it done, no more free title shots 😎
@@onward8231 already heard what Usman said about Colby and I don’t really see how that changes anything I said here
@@slash10170what did Usman say mate?
@@Hartlehh in some previews with Jon anik usman praised Colby for making (usman) push himself to a higher level and was grateful for their fights (or something to that affect) it’s a really ‘styles make fights’ situation tho, we all saw Colby unable to adapt his style in any meaningful way like usman did in the first Leon title shot
Yeah I'm sick of guys and women getting screwed financially while other less talented people get in the way!
Colby vs Usman 3 winner gets a title shot
I really felt for Leon when he started breaking down, because that is truly something horrible to deal with. My dad is still with me and just the thought of anything like this happening to him makes me feel a despair that is impossible to describe. I can't even imagine how Leon must've felt during all of this. I'm so happy he won.
There are no words for the void it
Leaves in your life and your heart 💔💯
"Still breaks my heart to this day " is powerful man even with the belt and money success he still wants to see his dad and gets emotional about it losing a parent must be so much harder then it seems
I'm sure under the circumstances he grew up in he depended on his father a lot, as well
I stood awake until 5 am for this, and even though the fight was a bit disaapointing, seeing edwards beat him was amazing. Good beats evil
Felt the exact same
The fight was disappointing?! It was a masterclass shutout
Fight was good. It’s just hard to be entertained at that time lol I still not gone to sleep buzzing for Leon.
Amen
I tried to stay awake made it to the fight before was hoping no to see the fight 😂😂😂
“just a dirty human being”. Nailed it there.
I'm honestly so impressed by how well Leon handled the comments about his father. I lost my father to lung cancer and if anyone ever said a bad word about him I'd probably be catching an assault charge. I look up to this man for his composure and self control.
Leon is savage as heck to react the way he did in regards to Colby speaking on his dead father. That is a strong man in every dimension.
The biggest problem with Colby is that he talks more than his action. With all the talking Edward still beat him in front of Donald I'm so happy for Edward the supernatural fighter.
Fight was close. Not like edwards stopped him. Geez
@@jasoncruzo the fight was not close at all, he got beaten on the feet and on the ground
@@jasoncruzo It really wasn't though. Colby just embarrassed Trump. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump said he never knew or met Colby lmao
Colby is usually about action but he was scared of Leon
@@MichaelPelzekTrump does just a good enough job embarrassing his damn self 😂
absolutely love Leon Edwards man, proper guy so much respect for hes craft, hes journey and how he carrys himself in and out of the octagon. Jamaica and England can be very proud to have a champion like this represent the country
Jamaica didnt have anything to do with him. Without englands environment there would be no leon edwards.
People say leon's not much of a talker yet his post fight interviews turn up to be one of the best. Props to him for outclassing this demon of a guy.
Cause he’s what a fighter should be…. Let your fighting do the talking first then after winning let your opponent know how dumb he looks
Colby 'cautious' Covington
Haha
Duckington forgot how to throw a punch
Donald Trump's favourite fighter got dominated by that red coat mf🤣🤣
"Coward' is more like it
Colby "Conman" Covington
Colby just got SCHOOLED 😂😂
Leon done well after fighting with that much emotion
Agreed
Colby was on the back foot like an amateur. He even got taken down and threatened with a sub.
Easy work probably his easiest fight in his current win streak lol
Leon could have embarrassed him more if he kept it on the feet, but at times he wanted to show his ground game against Colby . Colby is officially washed , needs to retire asap 😂
Was already a leon fan after his first usman win, but much bigger now. Legend, humble and classy.
Wow how classy is Leon Edwards? What a champion, nobody would of questioned him if he did respond in any derogatory manner but he didn't and didn't let his team either. HUGE RESPECT!!
The fact Colby thought he won is hilarious 😂😂
He didn't lol had to put his act on to hide them tears
His own coaches were embarrassed
He was just acting like he thought he won for his daddy trump. Dude got wiped, Colby is trash
Same as Trump
@@themarathoncontinues4211I don't blame then 😂😂
Leon making the welterweight division great again
Well said!
making the welterweight division boring again. ending the fight on his back against a washed up wrestler. Belal is right, this fight was an EMBARASSMENT to the welterweight division
Much respect and good display of sportsmanship many of us would have chose a different selection of words especially for a guy who talked about your late father 💯 That takes a man of honor to do what Leon Edwards did 🤝
Leon Represents himself so well, great class and such an able hand anywhere amongst martial arts. Uses his brain and puts emotions second, absolute warrior 👊🏼
a warrior doesn't end the fight on his back against a washed up wrestler. Shavkat will show this pathetic "champ" who the real warrior is.
@@bTek-9 hahaha Trump is upset
Leon made colby look like a novice fighter what a performance
Five rounds of nothing isn’t a performance
@@leedutch5155 Wasn't full of action but Colby was the challenger and offered very little. Leon did what he had to and won comfortably, on to the next!
@@leedutch5155correct, Colby put of 5 rounds of nothing. Unless humiliating himself counts as something.
@leedutch5155 bro colby was running, scared to let his hands go same way with izzy against strickland

Durrrr. Colby 2 years ago destroys Edwards. Edwards just fighting dudes on wrong side of hill.

Won't keep the belt

He is. I am sure he is.
His dad was killed as a gangster... still, cobly got his karma
@@benpo3811Thanks for the history lesson... 🤓
@@benpo3811his dad was actually a gangster himself too. To the comment about him being in hell is probably accurate
Only fighters know about that "crying because of the rage". Gret show Leon what a great Champion youve become 🙌🤘
Can't stop laughing at Colby 😂
He looked 😔
He the one laughing. All the way to the bank
Cheers 🍻
Honestly I think trump being there made Colby fight worse. He wasn’t fighting to win, he was just trying to not get ko’d in front of Trump
@@toddsmith2381 lol no, he's not laughing he's broken 😂😂😂
So happy for Leon and his dad ❤
The best comment!! ❤

@@SHAKAtheGdidn’t learn what he know there.
@BJJISTHEGAYPARTOFMMA Doesn't matter. That is his heritage, one that he speaks proudly about. To act as if that didn't play a role in who he is today is strange indeed.

“Not a scratch on me” he says whilst bleeding…

@@90ritesh90Oh that changes everything!
No RIP.. his dad was a rapist and a murderer for a gang cartel. Colby was right.
Gained a lot of respect for Leon.
Seems like a great guy.
Honestly… he was way too nice and respectful.
Should have made him eat those words big time!!
He was talking to him in the cage, nobody mentioned it.
@@Philip_Taylor
Who was? Leon?
Even in victory, humble, and still praises Covington for being a great fighter.
there's absolutely nothing great about that ( w trash) 🗑️😅😅
I am a Usman fan first, but he definitely earned a new fan today with his humility.
the better fighter and man won
Interview had me teary-eyed man… seeing how deep that comment cut him broke me.
Real asf and a complete G, GOAT material right here man 💯.
The fact that he had the discernment to calm his coach down is amazing.
Leon has humbled many, well done brother
Including myself, he showed me the fake will be exposed
Leon is a good guy but his father was a criminal and thats why he was killed. Leon himself said that in joe rogan show.
Hopefully we will never see Colby in a title fight ever again
I hope so lol 3 title fights and no w
I hope He talks himself to a rematch
@@dominiceliakim4617 hell no colby doesn't deserve no rematch

Handsome, a heavy weight-class, extremely talented. Leon will be remembered for a long time.
Love Leon what an example of what a humble and great human being is 🔥. AAAAAAAAAND STILLLLLLL 👑
Leon is a true gentleman.. even found a way to compliment Colby after what he said
Great Job Leon a True Gentleman in honour 🏴❤️🇨🇦 🗡️ 🤛 🤜🏽
Since leon has the bold spot on his head he is unstoppable..
Really representing us well! Wishing bro the best 💪🏾👊🏾
Leon done us proud 🇬🇧
What a champ, even gave props to the guy after all he said. What a guy Leon Edwards, congratulations!
The definition of a champion respect from 🏴
Man, so much respect for Leon! This proved that he has a very very strong character and mind. Huge respect. Let's go Leon!
I knew Colby would look like this it's skills not talking that wind fights Colby literally has no area where he could dominate 😤😤
Due to Colny's inactivity, i had forgotten how trash he was! This is what happens when he fights someone under the age of 35
Colby hasn’t won a real fight in years.
Colby from 2 years ago wins that easily

RIP Leon's Dad. May he rest in heaven forever.
I like Leon he's a class act he never comes across as cocky or rude even when he's got the opportunity respect to u mate for keeping your composure when fighting with a man with no respect for anything
Colby "never had a chance" covington
wrong !!! this was colby's 3rd chance😅😅😅
🤣🤣
Colby fans when from "Leon is gonna be r easy fight for colby" to "colby hasnt fight in 2 years" real quick lol
Right Leon keeps proving people wrong it’s amazing
They made excuses for the trash can
colby appeals to everyone who is proud of their participation trophies.
Colby fans share a similar level of integrity and intelligence to Colby, but they don't have the repeated brain damage as an excuse. They come by their learning disabilities honestly.
I have to say, I've been so impressed with how Leon handdled this situation, showed great character an composure to defeat a "dirty human".
Well done Leon
A true champ! Inside & outside of the ring..
congratulations
Never been so happy about a result
What a true gentleman.. a true champion! Stayed disciplined and won it big time.. Goat’d 🐐🐐🐐
Im so happy he won! That one was for his pops!🙏
Love Leon, that's what a true champion looks like, who will hopefully inspire the next gen of fighters ❤
Rest in Peace Sir🕊️

@swagoneto7922 And what about Stalin, Mao, and ya boy Hitler? RIP I guess, champs!
@@Obiodum_Drug dealers are your role models?
The commentary infuriated me this event. They were so unbelievably based. Especially in the main event. The only reason Colby ended on top was because Leon was trying to submit him for fun. They talked about that it was a very bad look on Leon… Colby never even was close to a submission while Leon (the European striker) got close to 3 submissions against a guy who is supposed to be a elite wrestler. It was disgusting.
49-46 was also disgusting, because the first 2 rounds should’ve both been 10-8. Colby barely threw and what he threw missed by a mile, while Leon connected with almost everything he threw.
But in the end, very happy with the result, we are finally done with the garbage human being Colby Covington. He should’ve never gotten the shot.
And last but not least, respect to the American crowd for turning on Covington, didn’t expect that to happen, although it should’ve happened before the fight.
The bias is based in prejudice.
I disagree.
The whole fight the commentators were saying Leon is winning. I think they just wanted him to go for the finish.
Leon’s performance was pretty boring and cautious as well. They weren’t wrong, he was just point fighting
@@sdsoda4521 wanting things is not the job of a commentator. And Leon went for the finish, that’s literally why he was grappling with a wrestler….
And ofcourse they were saying he was winning, if they weren’t they would be as delusional as Colby himself. But I didn’t hear them about Leon’s dominance. Only talked about how strange Colby’s approach was. Colby should do this, he should do that. He was just being dominated by a way better fighter, but I didn’t hear the commentary about that.
Also in the first 2 rounds he attempted one desperation takedown were he touched Leon’s leg for like half a second and Rogan couldn’t stop talking about how great it was for Colby, because now he has a feel for range blablabla, while that was just a terrible attempt which failed miserably.
Edwards is a honest and spectacular athlete!!! He doesn’t stoop low like some others. Action over words !!!
What a top class guy Leon is. Really did his family and his fans proud.
All that talk and Colby was scared of engaging 😂
A great champ, humble and a great athlete
Colby is the scape goat. He takes the fall so that the fight sells.
I love Leon’s fighting, but he’d be another Mighty Mouse if not for the drama their opponents create.
He'd be another GOAT? Lol ok
Leon is all class.
Love leons coach he’s really down to ride for his guy
Leon’s coach cussing out Colby in the background of his winning speech is golden 😂😂
Love his team the guy in the background ready to go!! GREAT JOB!
Leon's a real one! Absolute masterclass.
Well done Leon, making sure that spectacle doesn't happen. The win is good enough for me.
Leon rocky Edwards will surely be remembered
That is a true champion, biggest low blow ever and still managed to beat colby 😊 must feel great my man
