That “stop feeling sorry for yourself” just pierces the soul. Any man experiencing adversity can attest to it.
Makes me tear up. It’s such a good statement and for sure woke up a sleeping giant.
Made me tear up 💯
@@guyhazlewood6088 facts bro
yep
🥹
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself" just pierces through everything else. I am sure that one woke Leon up a bit.
Absolutely!!!!
💯
Agree 100%
Absolutely
Couldn’t be happier for the guy
Coach was literally shaking when pouring the water. True intensity
I saw that.
Yeah. He was feeling everything his student was feeling. He was saying it as much to Leon as himself
yeah great spot on that one
That guy is like a father to him tbh.. He loves the guy..
Leon's coach believed in him when he didn't believe in himself. Leon executed while his team set his mental trajectory in that critical last round. Truly amazing.
@@cold_servo_pie where ?
@@AshishKumar-ok4uy about 2 seconds before he threw the kick
@@castleemperor22 I'm watching replay and don't hear that
@@cannonieh4469 it’s on Henry’s TH-cam channel
Awesome coach... He didnt stop flaming the fire inside his fighter
That coach is my dad he has made the happiest son alive, pushed him mentally to show what makes a champion is my made of. And to know Leon as a friend and to see him capture the belt in spectacular fashion is a dream come true, Leon Edwards need more respect and recognition on his name! Stand up Birmingham 🇬🇧
What a hero man he was inspirational to listen to I have watched it over and over today.. respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
No way bro. Your dad and Leon did well to represent our city of brum and Country 🇯🇲. Big respect. Your name looks bare familiar lol
Your dad gave one of the greatest moments in combat ! Inspiring
Dawg this is awesome your dad has grown men in here crying 😢 😭 🤧, that was truly one of the greatest moments I've ever seen in life period man!! Tell your dad that I want to leave Florida and come train with that man he deserves everything good that comes to him. That was so motivationa!!
Wow. Amazing. Leon Edwards is really that guy.
This moment will remain forever in UFC history.
MmA history also
For me it's the best moment in ufc ever
Epic
Best Head Kick K.O ever !!!!!
This intense moment is #1 for me with #2 morenos first gold are masterpieces imo
This was quite literally like a rocky movie. Unbelievable leon.
The funny/crazy thing is his nickname is Rocky. 😂 This will go down in history.
The contrast between the corners was also like something out of a movie, the calm, confident technical cornering for Usman vs the passionate emotional pleas in Edwards. Respect to both. Incredible fight.
They acc should make a movie on Leon edwards would be incredible, such a good story he has
@@bigheadrhino Yess, everything about this, the fact that the dominant champ won 3 rounds in a row dominantly, his coach telling him to keep it up with no worries while leon’s coach are pissed and tells him to get his stuff together and got a last minute KO. This is so beautiful and this man is literally rocky.
@@nathanberesford4139 Agreed man, everything about this was straight out of a movie.
This is literally what it means to have ppl in your corner that truly have your back. I doubt he could have pulled it off without these guys words.
100% fact they were pushing him when he was counting himself out.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@scladoffle2472 indeeed. They had to force the tiger out of him in another way
We need a TH-cam mix between these lads and Pat Barry’s corny coaching of Rose against Carla
💯
As he pokes him in the chest and says”stop feeling sorry for yourself!” It’s like a hit of pure Adrenaline goes through him unbelievable. So happy for Leon and his team. Hope Arnold Allen’s next for a title shot
I was rooting for Leon, but tbh people are making to much of the coaches comments.. It did not inspire Leon if u watch the whole 5th round Leon didn't really do anything! Until he finally let go with that kick and it was set up nicely!!
But tbh Leon was mentally beaten in that fight!
I will be rooting for Leon again, but he needs to get his hands and kicks going much earlier this time or else it won't go his way IMHO
Turns out Arnold needed that kind of corner, his fight with Max went similarly except the end
@@beverlypatama8148that’s precisely why the coaches words are so important. He’s down in the 5th and it seems like he’s already lost. A lot of fighters would have given into the pressure and not have taken the risk to go for that head kick but he did because his coaches repaired his mentality.
@@IzmGunner01 i hear ya.. But it's not magic lol..
In most cases a guy losing badly going into the 5th rd isn't going to come out on top!
And to be fair, Usman stopped pressuring and got complacent which aided in Leon being able to get off that kick etc..
Now with that being said, i was very happy bc i was rooting for Leon!!
But idt the coach had much to do with it though..
His coach was saying the same thing from the 2nd round on tbh 🤷🏻♂️
Coach literally transferred part of his energy into Leon
"Pound -for-pound? Headshot---dead. That's it!" -Leon Edwards
Wow, a legendary MMA quote is born!
Headshot Bang.
Pretty cold line
The way he did it, an execution then the walk off, gives me shivers. And the the line
he made that knock out emote as well when Bruce Buffer was announcing him
Cringe and arrogant. He won't be champion for long
That coach gave him everything
dude... don't take this away from Leon
@@AI3Dorinte A fighter is nothing without his corner, don't take this away from THEM
@@will6792 obviously not, he spoke about how his father was killed when he was a teenager
@@will6792 his dad was killed when was 14? Dont make stuff up
@@will6792 casual 🤡
The way Usman would stand over him or follow him a bit and try to intimidate him even after the bell makes the knockout that much sweeter.
Oh mate I wish he stood over Usman when he knocked him out
Usman will be doing the same when he ragdolls leon for five rounds again
@@barrbarr31u yeh that’s right but at least we can agree that he is 90 percent going to rag doll Leon in 5 rounds lol
@@Zavi1k2 more than likely. But he got humbled in this one. He needed that. He was morphing into a douche.
@@Zavi1k2 I think we've already seen it in this vid, cocky usman got knocked tf out 🤣🤣
Stop feeling sorry for yourself!! Goosebumps after hearing that!
Was so awesome
Heard that live and I knew if that ain’t gonna do it nothing else will motivate him. Perfect words uttered at the perfect moment. Love and guidance to my man!
He read Leon perfectly , Leon WAS feeling sorry for himself. His coach snapped him back to reality and helped inspire that legendary KO. Hats off to Leon and his Coach
@@ROSH1503 played out like a rocky movie
Coach never gave up on him
look in his eyes he was doubting himself .... then knew it was go big or go home well done sir
I don't think he was doubting himself. He said at press conference that he was struggling and it was something to do with the altitude. He couldn't get it together because of lung pressure.
I think he was a bit pissed off at his trainer tbh. That's the impression I got lol.
He did what Jared cannonier should have done and actually changed something in his style
Leon’s confidence is so low
He looks sad
He looks troubled
But his team did a great job telling him to be the best and do what he must do
And now look at him.
He did it!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fatigue will make a coward out of a man. Sometimes it takes someone else to see ones potential and help him push to get there. Good job coaches. Urgent but not angry.
His coach deserves an award, this was one of the greatest moments in combat sports history
That’s my dad! 👏🏽
@@jordanlovell8579 no that’s MY dad 😤
Lies again? UFC WWE88
@@jordanlovell8579 u keep spweing this all over but no one actually cares mate
@@jordanlovell8579 prove it
I still come back to this about a year later. The "I'm not!" from Leon then Leon realizing that his body language speaks for itself, taking a deep breath and realizing that his coach is right and that he does need to pull this out of the fire. Absolutely inspirational
Great angle
I am still so emotional about this fight. It was amazing! Everyone counted him out and he has an amazing “Rocky” moment to capture the title. It was like a movie… truly.
Emotional? Wtf? Need a psychiatrist?
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.
Millions will be inspired and the sport keeps on teaching us all, "anything can happen to anyone"
This is the greatest sport of them all.
@@mohdnafisraza7142 What a great write up!!
Like a movie, just what I was thinking
What passion from the coach. The old man was literally begging Leon to fight back. After the 3rd and 4th round Leon knew Usman has bested him. But the coach never gave up hope. That victory must have felt so so satisfying.
Let’s say older over old
@@R_W103 hahaha right? The dude aint that old
True, that belief was amazing. I recon most of us at home had lost hope by round 5...not them though. Amazing
@@R_W103 we'd all be lucky and blessed enough to be called old men. I love talking to old men. The sheer amount of wisdom and guidance.
I’m with Damon on this. Old man is a term of reverence.
Everything about it was like a ending of a 90s movie. Leon had given up in his mind, but his corner were firing him up so much it must have triggered something to pull that finish out. Usmans corner was the complete opposite. Wittman was smiling, being cocky as always.. I loved it.
This one, Bispings win, and Penas win is what makes this sport beautiful.
Wittman was smiling after he got knockout out and he is always smiling while cornering his fighters
90s movie ? More like a Rocky movie
he wasn't cocky, he was proud
It was a lucky kick😐 he’ll lose the belt in his next fight
@@andrebirds6308 a lucky kick ahahha this casual beaches
that's head kick moment is probably one of the greatest moments in the history of combat sports considering the context and the way the fight was going
in ufc yes
and it being the 2nd fight
Not to mention the gravity of everything he took from Usman, and the exciting narrative the WW division will have now in the UK, Paddy and Molly on the next title fight card? Yes please!
dc stipe 2?
He is the one and only Rocky.
There is no other.
“STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF!” That’s great from the corner.
This was a real movie moment. The cocky champ, the dejected challenger unable to get anything going feeling tired and defeated, the cornerman giving a very motivational tough love speech and then just as Leon is 1 minute away from losing he pulls off one of the craziest upsets in UFC history and creates a legendary moment
Best cornering I've ever heard. He didn't need technical advice, he needed inspiration and that's what he got
💯
Yep, they trained to a point where Leon knows what to do and when to do it. It was having to fire him up what was becoming the issue, and his corner did a brilliant job.
one of the coaches called the technical strike though which ended the match. watch again
Best comment on here. Saluted
@@etornamatupra9348 a good mixture of coaches there
Highlights are highlights, but this right here is special and timeless. We’ll all be back to hear Leon’s corner talk to him and us
As someone who is from birmingham, i am very proud of leon edwards , watching that live was amazing i couldn’t believe he came back in the 5 th round with such a beautiful KO win. Amazing stuff leon cannot wait to see his reign as champ 🇯🇲 🇬🇧 ❤️
Same bro I was so gassed to see him get the job done, well deserved after the amount of disrespect he’s endured, looking forward to seeing him defend in England 🙌🏻
Ur name Mohammed Usman is that just or coincidence or 😂😂😂
Same bro man gassed
he wont keep the belt, mark my word, hes losing it on the first title defence lmao, he dont have heart for a champ
Big up Brumtown
His corner’s encouragement in the round 4 will go down in history!
Don’t let him bully ya son!!!
Here from the 286 press conference???😂
Do not feel sorry for yourself. I felt that. I am glad that his coach knows how to push his buttons.
That last speech gives me the chills...Leon Edwards is a champion now and nobody can take that away from him. Congratulations Leon!
His coaches knew how much he had put in for this, and how rare these opportunities are. Many fighters never even see a world title opportunity, and so when they could they gave it their all during each round to edge their fighter towards the right mindset. Incredible stuff
Leon winning is my favorite moment. He's never gotten any respect and now he does. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. So happy for Leon.
Literal Rocky moment !!!
I always thought he lacked that extra confidence needed to make a champion, now I see he’s team has pushed him over the line. I think from now on he’ll be around for a while 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I really hope he does stick around but I see Usman regaining the title in the rematch with a very safe wrestling approach
@@jacobraudies6191 it will probably happen. And it will be boring to watch
I think he can become unbeatable now. He will be fighting in the craziest stadium in his own country now and the world supports him
@@jacobraudies6191 If Leon stays in the center of the octagon, Kamaru will have a rough time. All of the takedowns were alongside the fence where Kamaru could get an easy doubleleg lift. Hope to more striking confidence from Leon to gain control. Bar miles the best striker in the WW division.
@@jacobraudies6191 Not too sure Leon will be improving having confidence after this win. He’s coming into his prime turning 31 Usman is 35 this is around the time things start to slow down 1st KO loss he was winning the fight but not sure how his confidence and body will hold up after this….. (Unless he goes from Roid-man to Super Roid-man 💉💉💉💉)
What a machine. His story is a humble one. A proper champion
He was very patient waiting for his opurtunity & very patient waiting for the right shot.
Very satisfied , his team watching til the very end , proper .
@@richardmorris7063 sports history yes, World history is the opposite lol
I wish i had someone like that in my corner, just for life. what a guy, WHAT an inspiration. Need more people like that in the world.
Man I’m getting goosebumps watching it back. A truly special moment in UFC history. Let’s go Rocky!
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself, well, come on then!"
Unwavering confidence in his fighter and stuck to the end with him.
HEADSHOT. BANG. DONE.
Man, this 1:10 speech is so inspiring. Huge respect to Leon's corner, they believed in Leon more than Leon himself
It keeps hitting me in the feels!
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself" just pierces through everything else. I am sure that one woke Leon up a bit.
That “stop feeling sorry for yourself” just pierces the soul. Any man experiencing adversity can attest to it.
This moment will remain forever in UFC history.
This was quite literally like a rocky movie. Unbelievable leon.
Leon's coach believed in him when he didn't believe in himself. Leon executed while his team set his mental trajectory in that critical last round. Truly amazing.
watched it 50 times, still can't get enough of the speech after round 4. Even better than Khamzats coach.
man, me too.. chills every single time. Like a damn movie!
Khamzat was just being plain stupid throwing away the game plan. So his coach's advice had a different tone
no vid of the kick tho, 50X? really?
youtube search the rocky theme version...even better
well just keep rewinding it and playing it nothing wrong with that .
Hearing those coaches In-between rds & then watching them crying along with Leon after the win was indescribable. Like everyone else has said...this was a Rocky movie. Been alot of great fights & moments but I can count on one hand how many times watching fights has made me feel this way.
0:22 iconic
I am hearing Usman all day
😂😂😂 usman sounded so much like him man . Love itttt
AJ needed some of this motivation in his corner.
True!
😬😬 the man ain't lying
Still wouldve lost
AJ just ain't good enough. This guy was.
And not some sort of false info, while aj was clearly getting beaten “BRILLIANT AJ BRILLIANT”.
I'm Nigerian🇳🇬 and i love Usman alot, but seeing how Leon's team inspired him, even when he started doubting himself is truly amazing. Leon has had a rough time in the UFC and i believe he deserves his measure of happiness and success too. If Usman doesn't get the belt back, no problem, he's made already, i do hope this win is only the beginning of a wonderful career for Leon Edwards too. Congrats Champ.👊🏾
Marty juiceman got KTFO 😸. Get rekt.
The coach who'd demanded that Leon pull this **** out of the fire is brilliant! Indeed, his inspirational words had willed Leon to victory 🔥🔥🔥
I agree it felt like Mickey to Rocky... freakin inspirational... the Rocky music was playing in my head
When he told him that he's got to get ugly out there. The man was trying his best to motivate
@@arod6079able
Yes, Dave Lovell was the catalyst in Leon's victory. Kudos to his other coaches; However, when Lovell said, "Stop feeling sorry for yourself..." Leon came alive. It was Epic!
The coaches son has commented further up
His corner have been a massive part of his success
The anxiety leon must have been feeling in between rounds and for him to still pull it off amazing best sport in the world
Everyone was against him
I dint think dude had anxiety, he was tired and fatigued. Your not even thinking let alone anxiety. Just my 2cenrs
Because this was the fight of his life
@@m-jay356 Mexican Martial Arts predicted Leon would play weak/dead until the 5th round. I don't think Leon was as tried as we think.
@@Charles-mv7sv oh ok
And that’s how Leon “ The Quitter “ Edwards accidentally won the world title.
Got goosebumps watching it live and will always get them every time watching this. The passion in his voice and the shakiness in his hand with the water afterwards was beautiful. So happy for Rocky Edwards, it’s been a long time coming my friends 🇬🇧
Straight out a Rocky movie
factss
and the fact that its his nickname makes it so much better lol
The best corner work I have ever seen in the UFC by a million miles, and probably one of the best in all combat sport, UNBELIEVABLE
Fair play to Leon and his team epic work guys..👍🏾
Leon’s corner had me standing up the whole fight . the emotion, grit, and love for the sport had me feeling like i was there. awesome performance . amazing fight
I think deep down Usman is a good guy, he just started to get full of himself, but man am I happy to see Leon Edwards win this!
Nothing wrong with being confident. But it needs to be balanced with humility. Volk is a perfect example of that.
He can’t be a good guy because he’s confident of his mma skills?
@@bradleyowusu9589 that's your estimation after seeing my comment? Learn to read
Usman was always like that.
I think so too, but this is the fight game, what do people expect Usman to be kissing his opponents in the cage??? Sure outside the cage but not in the octagon.
I need this man in my corner every day!!!!
1:09 like a movie. Leon's coach didn't want to see him accept defeat. Love to see this as opposed to corners coddling their fighter.
Leon’s composure won him this fight, he was so effortless in that finishing sequence
Leon’s coach literally shaking as he’s trying to give him some water and pump him up. Wow what a moment
Usman had all that arrogance during the fight and got knocked out cold 🥶
I agree 👍
Got in his face twice prefight
Kept following him to his corner trying to SHOW-BOAT.
And Relaxed in the 5th.
juiced，fake nut shot，eyepoke… idk wt to say
@@hjkjjn6917 Fake eye poke and glove/cage grabs......same as the Colby fight. This guy will do anything to get an edge.
@hjkj jn
Yea he juiced
But
He forgot to put on a helmet ⛑️ 💀
I love it when cocky fighters get humbled. I dunno which one I liked more, rousey or this one lol
That coach man … God Bless him and Leon’s team.. truly shows that they were all in their together
Whole thing gives me chills. There literally is no sport in the world like MMA.
From an English fan's perspective, I never thought anything could top when Bisping won the title but this really did. Vs the p4p, down on the scorecards, his trainer screaming passionately for him to dig deep and then BANG. Headshot. Dead. That's it.
Pure passion!
This is one of the greatest corner moments in UFC history.
THE greatest, Leon’s head coach is the goat motivator
I love Leon, I grew up a couple of miles from where he is from and I always felt very happy and proud of him and his success. I can remember the feeling of utter despair as the rounds slipped away against Usman and I could see that Leon also felt the fight slipping away. The cornering was just sensational and exactly what was needed, it could have come straight out of a inspirational speech from an unbelievable hollywood film. I'm so happy for Leon and his team. Everytime I drive past Leon's giant poster near Birmingham City Centre it makes me smile from ear to ear. The nice guy finally got rewarded for once.
Leon's Coach who was screaming is the Greatest Hands Down
Unbelievable man
So much raw emotion from that coach, almost got me tearing up, sheesh!
Great job Leon! Much deserved
Goosebumps seeing this makes me proud to be British pure emotion that’s all he needed to be inspired what a coach and what a fighter this is what the sport is all about moments like this
AMEN!!!!
The guy shouting with passion is a real G! We all need pal like that man, he won this fight with his belief in Leon! Should've received a bonus himself 👊🏼🙌🏻
Dude ive had this scenario play out in UFC 4 and it was insane. To see it in real life is orgasmic.
Now I only think of Kamaru's impression
Watching this never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Everyone needs someone in their corner like that. What an inspirational coach and effort by Leon.
Watching this live and hearing Leon’s coach saying, “come on son, stop feeling sorry for yourself.” And everything else he was telling Leon between rounds really amazed me.
He spoke with such conviction and Love for Leon. Mann it just made me want to see Leon win that much more!!
It was such an amazing moment
Now, your going to have to get it out of the fire rocky.. Goosebumps
@@shunshun4861 Mann fr
Leon has one of the realist corners I've ever seen in MMA
Was that his coach or his dad?? That man was looking after him like a loved son. I teared up when he told him "stop feeling sorry for yourself!!" and when he yelled at him when he came in on the 4th, he felt it...his body language changed slightly. These guys made the difference and propelled him to put it together for that 5th round. Wow!! What a team!!
@watchmejumpstart most definitely!!
Your gym is a second family, and some fighters took their coaches as a father figure, especially one who lost theirs like leon did, and when that kind of bond is form, its one of the best cornering anyone will ever receive
ufc is gonna use the "headshot, dead" clip in every promo involving Leon now
Leon Edwards looked like he was losing confidence in himself. His coach kept the fire burning in him!
Aj coaches : "great aj, perfect.
Aj is done.
No fight with tyson
And no trilogy fight
Gotta admit, this is one of my most favourite sporting encounters. From the coaching, to the knockout and his speeches at the end. Truly inspirational.
I will never forget watching this live and yelling at the coach to just give in. I though “The guy obviously gave up on himself 2 rounds ago, stop wasting your breath.” Boy, was my mouth shut about 4 1/2 minutes later with that kick. Rewatching this gives me goosebumps. Imo, Rocky wouldn’t have won without those words said to him, period.
Was 6 am here when I screamed
Incredible moment in sports. The literal definition of having people in your corner.
It's a real Rocky story like the losing the coaches the advice the hardness the struggle then BAAAAAM . flashbacks of his doubters came in then headset KO dead
Coach needs to stop farming tiktoks and give his boy actual advice
Hahahahahahaha
His corner never gave up on him, truely one of the best moments in combat sports history.
This emotion and motivation he poured into his fighter is like a real Rocky movie.
Who else came back to this after Kamaru at the press conference 😂😂😂😂
DONT LET IM BOLLY U SAN
Look at the corner of Usman going into the 5th ... He was laughing like they already won , lol this sport is unbelievable
Yea but the chances of that kick landing and Koing Usman is like the same chance of winning the lottery. If I was Leon I would fight Masvidal before Usman. Usman will beat him in the rematch.
Usman was so used to winning, he thought he had Leon under control and could come out half-assed for the last round and got caught slipping. But Edwards won't do that again in the rematch🤣
@@johnnysanchez4996 Well that's got to be the biggest exagerration I've heard in a long time lol. Leon is the better striker, which he showed in the 1st round before he stopped fighting properly, its not THAT hard to believe lol.
@@stephenhughes5156 that guy seems like an usman ball gargler don't take what he says seriously lmao
Hahahaha salty beetches in the comments lol Usman got fooked up, humbled, Leon made him look very silly 😜
01:09 I literally listen to this every morning. I wanted Edwards to win and he did. True inspiration!
The look in his eyes changed after he heard “stop feeling sorry for yourself”
I saw it too. It looked like he woke up and then took a deep breath
Who’s here after the interview e we other usman 😂😂
Listening to his coaches in between rounds I was honestly wanting to get in the octagon myself they had me pumped up that much😆. Unbelievable team spirit.
Dave lovell is a legend for his speech in between the fourth and fifth rounds. Woke up the beast
100% 👏🏽
His brother was the first one in the cage to celebrate the moment with him! God I love this sport 🔥🙏🏽
After re-watching many times I realized after his coach said stop feeling sorry for yourself, Leon said "I'm not!"
yeah i think it was more the altitude and lack of energy, but it worked regardless
@@tonypine3434 yeah I think he should've been there for a month or two before the fight, not just 2 weeks
@@tonypine3434 Next one's in England, and given how good Leon looked in the first round, I expect it to be significantly more competitive. I just hope Usman doesn't come in looking to lay and pray to get his belt back now that he knows Leon has the capability to put him out at any time in the fight.
Now that I look back at it....This was a dark souls boss fight for Leon.
No matter what happens after this this was one of the greatest moments in UFC history
what a corner! Respect from the USA Champ! Absolutely incredible performance and excellent coaches who believe in their fighter
Honestly there are a lot of great moments in ufc history I’ve had the good fortune of seeing live.
This night and this moment is easily in my top 3. Best cornerman show of heart I’ve ever seen then Mr. Leon delivers a beautiful shot.
