@@N1Moses nope he was given benifits by the state that he didn't earn, his father was imported via policy during Windrush. They didn't work for a single thing in the UK. They were given everything.

Glad Leon's story is finally getting some attention. What I really appreciate about him is that despite his troubled past and upbringing he seems super quiet and easygoing. He's not the type of guy to talk shit and be aggressive instead he just focuses on doing his best in the Octagon. He should be a huge role model for young boys growing up in similar circumstances as proof there's an alternative to gang life.
Used to see him every day after school chilling with my mates, ended up at the same mma gym for a bit, now i'm seeing him in games and taking world titles, the come up is mental and so inspirational for those around here in Brum.
@@mohnjarx7801 nah not like this, the midlands produces a level of brotherhood you wont find in many places. Go into the gyms there and see that they will literally die for eachother.
Dang it, he’s done it, he’s won me over. The way he handled Colby’s comments was pure class. And I love that his corner was so pissed, it shows they care about him. My dad was a drug dealer when I was little and he went to prison when I was 10. He’s still my dad and I’d be devastated if he was murdered.
The thing is that it’s more than he was just a drug dealer. That was life at the time in Jamaica and what they had to do to survive. I have to give him credit for wanting a better life for Leon and getting him out of that kind of lifestyle.
@@carson2725 oh I’m not saying he’s perfect by any means. But he knew what he was doing was wrong and sent Leon off to a better life when he could’ve easily just trained Leon to take over the gang if he wanted.
@@carson2725 the connections to home country are still huge in this kind of thing - remember that they will still have had family back in jamaica. it is not uncommon for gangs to threaten someones family back home, for example. theres also the fact leon's dad still came from that environment. we don't know the exact circumstances, but what we do know is these things are rarely as simplistic "good vs evil" as people want to think.
@Adro-cp9rj his father didn't really "send him off to a better life". His father was actively leading a gang in the UK partaking in murder and extortion. When his father was killed in a gang related incident, Leon was 13
Instead of hiding behind a character, Leon wears his heart on his sleeve, not afraid to show emotion and worked hard to round out his game and become one of the most complete fighters in UFC history. People need to respect this guy way more, but he isn't gonna wait for them to. He's writing his chapter in the sport's history regardless of how much attention he gets from the fans and the organization while staying true to who he is as a man.
credit to his mom putting him in that gym , taking him out of that environment. credit to him to stick with it. credit to his coach for embracing him early. people impacting people's lives everyday. so important.
The government has to do something so that vital gyms in poor areas aren't having to charge so much a month just a keep the doors open. How many young people are missing out on the positive benefits and direction fighting gyms give, because they simply can't afford it.
Boxing gyms and mma gyms are a beacon of light in a rough community. There's so many kids that are lost out there and the gym is where they can dig deep down and find themselves. We need combat sports because it provides an environment to release rage legally and professionally
@@Plumbing-for-youwell he has a pretty boring fighting style, has 1 big finish in his career and takes very long breaks between fights... Probably a nice bloke but not so surprising people don't want him as champ
Leon was always a superb fighter. He has one of the cleanest, crispiest styles we've ever seen. He's sharp and everything he does is textbook. He proved he belongs in the top, he only cares about fighting. The "look at me now" speech will always give me goosebumps. The pain and raw emotion in his voice is some serious stuff. That's why we love this game.
This is amazing. I don’t get why the UFC and the fans aren’t 1000% behind him. Leon’s story is one of the best tales of fighting adversary. His championship win against Usman is, to me, one of the greatest moments in all of sports. The coach in the corner. The defeated look for 20 minutes. The play by play. The post fight promo. Truly magical.
If you don't like Leon. Your not a real fan of this sport. The man carrying himself well, humble, respectful and FIGHTS HIS ASS OFF AMD HASNT LOST IN ALMOST 9 YEARS
@@tropi-rust7725 guy hadn’t fought in a million years and look at him first 3 rounds, guy clearly has the worst case of ring rust. Gets dominated by kamuru for 4 and half rounds then gets lucky, then barely wins a rematch when the guy should have took longer off.
I know he fixed his life but the fact that he went to the UK to escape crime but instead he brought it to the UK shows why places in England like Birmingham have such high crime rates.
I am legitimately in tears watching this. Like WOW. I don't care who you are, if you aren't moved by a story like that, you aren't human. Incredible vid, incredible champ, instant sub
I really like Leon, seems a total good dude. Emotional aswell which is refreshing to see from a fighter sometimes. A real genuine guy. Hope to see him continue being the success he has been.
Aerial's commentary and verbal montage he made for Leon is truly fantastic commentary and journalism. True as can be, painted a perfect picture of the mountain Leon had to climb.
I didnt know his backstory until after 296 but I did notice his eyes always look like hes hurting deep down. Losing his dad at such a young age makes sense. Fair play to him, hes the champ, his dad would be so proud
I respect your opinion! It’s so inspiring, man. You should look into Francis Ngannou’s come up to fighting, that shit actually drew some tears from me!

@@devshashOGMost of the roster lived normal lives because they’re normal people. Although strickland and aljo had tough lives i still think Leon’s definitely stands out more. You also have to look at where they are now. Leon is a really likeable guy and very humble and so is Aljo to a lesser extent. Strickland is just an arsehole.
When the coach was telling him “Stop feeling sorry for your fucking self!”, helping focus him in on his goal in a way that maybe no one else but his father could have (if he had been living at that time of course), surreal how amazing that moment is. All the shit Leon had been through, his coach bringing that tough love onto him when he needed it absolute most. Awesome to see
What an incredible recap! I hope the fans will come around after this Colby win. Leon has done it the hard way and deserves all the praise in the world. So much redemption in seeing him succeed after all the negativity I saw online directed at him all those years. Let’s go Rocky 🥊
Leon is an absolute legend him and my older brother were friends in school always had his back proper down to earth guy too youll never hearing bragging or boasting definetly a future hall of fame inductee for sure
Great video and very well done. It was quite eye opening to hear about the challenges Leon has had to endure within the UFC organization. Thanks for putting this together!
Masvidal: Your just a loser in life. Now Masvidal retired on a 3 fight losing Streak with double digit loses and a brutal embarrasing Knockout. While Leons defended his Title two times in a row and sended the best pfp in the world to the shadow realm. Leon is so inspiring. Great to see my People winning in every aspect in Life. His Journey made me really emotional and i'm so happy for him. Birmingham stand up! 🇬🇧🇯🇲🏆❤️
Man they both made it well in life. Jorge is Jorge But both men worked hard and made something of themselves. I’d imagine both are worth well into the millions and families live good.
im from leons home town born and raised used to run with the 23drillas and WBP .. leon is such a inspiration watching him brought me away from that life ...
Leon displays that it is possible to be a humble stay in ur lane. Only stand for what you stand on and if its not worth standing for then theres isnt anything to say. He doesnt want or need attention. He doesnt want to or need to talk shit with words... he is a prime example of how the traits of a Sigma type male is what every male should be aiming for. Jus because he isnt loud and talk shit doesnt make him weak. He is the rare type that doesnt get rattled by the antics but stays focus at the task at hand. Doesnt say much unless his words mean something. The type of badass that no one knows about because they dont need to tell everyone about it or constantly put it on display.
his nickname suit him very well and it went just like how the story go, it is very inspiring to see and i m sure it will inspire a lot of people to be the Rocky of their life
Well yeah, I’m a Leon Edwards fan now. I always liked his fighting style and his personality. Always seemed like a humble person. I didn’t know his backstory, got a lot of respect for the guy. Maybe he is not a showman and the ufc might not like that, but he definitely someone who is relatable and that still draws buys.
I am poor and never turned to crime or gangs and was enticed to but thought it was a cop out. I hope criminals start being treated like so by the judiciary system rather than misunderstood
I was running around with gangs fighting, stealing & after moving to a better place I completely changed, now I'm a successful business man , people change
I might be an American, on team MAGA, but I hope Leon wins. I think Colby is a great fighter, and he might win, but I think Leon deserves it more. He has gone through hell to be here, and I want to see his hand raised. He is a warrior. Respect for his perseverance.
@@StefanH-u4y I agree, he has become extremely toxic trying to stay relevant. There are a lot of people that are almost too far gone, on both sides of the isle. People have forgotten how to love their neighbor, regardless of beliefs. United we will stand, Divided we will fall.
The UFC intentionally avoided giving Leon a chance at the belt, just proves how crooked and corrupt combat sports are! Much respect to Leon for being a inspiration and never giving up!
Im from Leon's town, Erdington n it's safe to say he's correct about all the shi that happened over the years here, even though I aint involved in nothing like he was, I know how rough it can be in some parts and how you can easily turn to a life of crime here, even though it's been years since he was part of it
Leon Edwards is the man, a true class act, humble, respectful, he doesn’t need to talk trash or make noise before the fight, he treats his opponents with respect, and performs at his top level in the octagon. A true role model of what a martial artist should be.
That was very good. He seems like a decent man who has a hard childhood and came out of it to do this! I find all the antics of Sean Strickland absolutely hilarious and it that's what basically started getting me into all this. I had no idea who Colby was just that I'd vaguely heard the name and thought it was funny when he came out dressed like that and saying outrageous stuff until what he said about Leon's father. I was very pleased to see Leon won this morning (UK time).
Very good video. Actually had me welling up at two different points. When 13 year old Leon was pretending to sleep while hearing the news about his dad and then that incredibly cathartic moment after everything we just saw: look at me now.
lmao Colby is going to demolish him! STFU with the replies until after the fight then come for me all you want trust me ill be here waiting

A true champ!! Just like his demeanor tbh. What a story.
This is the reason leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique in the multiverse
That’s why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique in the world
Amazing Edit! What a Journey for Leon! So inspiring
Leon seem like a nice British guy but he's actually a tough guy lowkey.
Never heard of a nice British guy
@@bperez003Lol
Elijah, watch the video all the way through, fantastic piece of work. 👍
All I wish for is for Leon to be an active Champ and clean his division, all of like Belal, Shavkat, Garry, Wonder boy etc
He'll be actively looking for a job Monday morning.
@@BasedDoggo That's why I said "I wish" bro.
@@ericobrien2406 Come on man, even if he loses he will still be in the UFC fighting and getting bags. The fuck are u on? 😂
@@LotharSB lol I'm fuckin around dude, he'll probably end up beating Colby and then you won't see him again for a year and a half.
Leon Edwards is the man, a true class act, humble, respectful, he doesn’t need to talk trash or make noise before the fight, he treats his opponents with respect, and performs at his top level in the octagon. A true role model of what a martial artist should be.
That was very good. He seems like a decent man who has a hard childhood and came out of it to do this!
I find all the antics of Sean Strickland absolutely hilarious and it that's what basically started getting me into all this. I had no idea who Colby was just that I'd vaguely heard the name and thought it was funny when he came out dressed like that and saying outrageous stuff until what he said about Leon's father. I was very pleased to see Leon won this morning (UK time).
Very good video. Actually had me welling up at two different points. When 13 year old Leon was pretending to sleep while hearing the news about his dad and then that incredibly cathartic moment after everything we just saw: look at me now.
Colby’s career shall soon come to an end. Because after he gets beat by Leon Edward,its
gonna be a moment of questioning...,What now?
Mate the quality on this video was amazing keep it up!
literally top boy footage
I'd flee to Jamaica to get out of Birmingham.
“ You’ve gotta get ya hands going Leon!! You’ve gotta get you’re hands going “
Powerful 💥
Leon is the man
Really like this video bro, can see with a bit more experience you'll be one of the biggest documentary channels
I didn’t really care who won, but after Covington made that comment about Leon’s dead father I’m team Leon all the way.
So what Colby did worked, and now you care
