Best MMA quote ever !

@@o.m.y.oldmanyoungen2023 it has to be really.

I agree and I know what he means. It’s like owning a house. You may have it for a little while but eventually thru sale or death it gets passed on to someone else.

Fav mma quote! Leon is beyond humble

Ya that's a great line from a true champion

Agree!

And the wave of the fight. We saw champ get his back taken and controlled like we never had seen, then him get in a rhythm looking like typical Usman. Leon was setting up that high kick alot and just had perfect timing late to get that victory. Insane watching it all play out how it did. Leon’s heart or confidence never wavered.

Out of the blue, methodical, and textbook execution.

It was amazing, head kick kos are my fav

👌👌👌👌

Just means nate diaz really is the best fighter I guess

@@hellasforever6242 how?

That's the way it should be. A fighter should never demand the respect of the community, You do it like this and EARN it. I'm happy for Leon 👏

@@RomesPompeii well do the maths. Leon couldn't finish Nate and as you said, he nearly got finished by Nate instead. Now with leon having ko'd marty, the maths is clear. Nate diaz #1

@@hellasforever6242 MMa math do not works.

Don't slurp when you eat C C grandma Dona is mad at you

I thought he was boutta slap Leon

I was yelling that the coach needs to give him a slap. After rd 4, i was sooo disappointed. I knew Leon was a true threat as his style was dangerous for Usman. But he was so gun shy that Usman was not respecting him in the octagon. But that head kick. Damn!

His head coach was just shouting and screaming like an idiot

Yeah props to the coach but Leon literally did nothing they said. Whole fight throws nothing, I genuinely was rooting for Leon to win but after getting donning 2,3,4 and 4mins of 5 a fluke headkick that’s just luck

Idk overall, It was pretty sweet to see Ronda get KOd especially since she had so much Ego. More satisfaction lol But for the kick KO, Edwards edged it.

@@marty2970 Idk Marty. Marty’s ego was pretty up there as well. Quick to talk about 205 and Canelo with Left Leg Larry in front of him.

Oh no, I gotta disagree. It is probably the best for a finish in welterweight UFC history. But better than Ronda? Nah.

@@DestroyThoseThatDestroyUs Best finish in WW history has to be Serra on GSP, that was a massive shock. If you're talking technically then yeah Leon's KO is prob the best

@@GoGetYourShinebox i agree

Gotta add glover onto this one

Moreno's was pretty good too

@@steeezeomelette9285 i completely forgot him and Moreno.

@@davidlam4513 yep indeed

Conor?

My jaw hit the floor. He set it up to, pro fighters are so impressive love seeing the traps being set.

If I were Leon I'd go on vacation just to fuck with Dana.

@@d2heffz231 I like your thinking.

Hopefully Usman gets a title shot sooner. Usman is the better fighter. He just got caught. I wanted see him move up weightclass, beat someone and leave on top.

@@shabaazs791 nah. Usman needs to sit out for a while. Let Leon get a defence in while Usman sits out for another year, then fight the winner of Edwards vs Chimaev.

His family didnt believe in Him but God did.

I was betting on him from the beginning, i was betting big on humbling Usman.

L

@@cityunderthesunpodcastke God believed in Leon and that’s why he won? You may have that backwards fella.

I shed a few tears when he won. The struggle he’s had to get a title fight, the dejected look he had while being wrestled by Usman for 3 rounds straight, then to hear his backstory and come up. Just amazing very happy for him. Didn’t know much about him before the fight but it’s just different when someone’s had to defy the odds so many times to win a title.

Clip?

Forgot about that! So trueb

FR. Art imitates life, so there needs to be a movie made about Leon down the line for sure

Amen to that mentality. 🙏

For real feels good for Leon. Mans probably had the second worst luck in recent history after Ferguson.

He was actually on a winning streak before this fight, mate.

Let's see him replicate it. He was losing the fight until he wasn't, fair play he caught Usman slipping and beautifully set it up, but this was 1 time thing. I do not see that ever landing again.

@@RealityClubX exactly what im thinking g, coming to the trilogy fight, usman will be more wrestling based because he knows that leon cant compete with him, but still will be active on the feet, but realistically, every champion faces adversity, its how they over come it in the next fight, like serra v gsp, you become a better fighter, he just needs to remember the last round is 5 mins instead of 4 haha

@@Livvvid I honestly just facepalmed when the headkick landed. Like he was a minute away from winning, and now you have people discrediting the entire domination by screaming about the 1st round and the finish. The feminine emotional fans screaming about the win will stick around for the next few days and once reality kicks in that it won't happen again, they'll start to reason and the doubts will appear again, this time bigger.

@@Livvvid Kamara usman didn't check a single kick. Even an amateur muay thai fighter would've picked that up. Throw a series of leg kicks n then throw a head kick.

@@RealityClubX Stop commenting until your IQ is above 80

@Mark Berenger Jon Jones is the GOAT. Period. No fighter comes close to him.

Adesanya is next

@Mark Berenger You didn't have to the same way no one asked for yours, I gave it. No point being a stuck up cow because you have no idea in what you are talking about. Jon Jones is the greatest to ever done it no fighter comes close to him as of right now. He is virtually undefeated in the game He is With 26 wins and one loss (one no-contest). He has the most wins in title fights (14), the most wins in the light heavyweight division (20), the joint-most successful title defences in UFC history (11), the joint-most submission wins in the light heavyweight division (5) and the longest unbeaten streak in UFC history (18). Jones is the youngest champion in UFC history (23 years and 242 days). His fight against Alexander Gustafson at UFC 165 has been inducted into the Fight Wing of the Hall of Fame. Even the calibre of fighters Jon jones has bet such as DC for starters and 3 times. Anyone That doesn't think Jon Jones is the greatest doesn't know what they are talking about that is a simple fact. Fighters such as Khabib (An amazing fighter) that got the belt and retired are no where near Jones. Jon's is probably the most balanced fighter there is. Usman was close in certain aspects but he wasn't there in terms of accomplishments and he certainly isn't there now with the KO.

@@jordanomasuin8023 At the time, I thought the same about JJ, but the PEDs, then the post PEDs performances were poor, lost to Reyes, was incredibly close to losing vs Santos who only had one working leg...

@@jordanomasuin8023 He is dismissed from the convo. PEDs in a combat sport, unacceptable.

@@WileyJordan that's what she said

*And what's most important, he KO'ed the sh*t out of the baddest fighter in the UFC right now, who would have thought that Leon, of all people would pull that out.*

He’s gonna have to defend it or else it’s was a fluke win like Serra vs GSP

@@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere me and my friend who put money on Leon to win by KO thought he would 😂😂😂

@@abdullahmufti *No flukes here, only a beautiful KO and a new Champion.*

Birmingham won 🥳🥳🥳

The trolls will still talk shit and say usman dominated the fight I really hope Leon knocks him out again in the rematch then they can't say Jack shit.

Same... brum lad won! Respect fam from Wolverhampton

Born and raised in Birmingham lads but live in the US- i nearly broke my tv screen after that head kick. So happy for Leon and for us Brummies!

0121 gang

He just put the guy into the shadow realm and you question his chances of winning the rematch?

I think he’ll look a lot sharper in the rematch - the effect of the altitude was very apparent after the first.

American fighters don’t perform very well overseas & rematch would be at Wembley. I don’t think Kumarus gonna ever recover fully. But you never know every fighter is different but Leon would be a beast on his home turf.

@L.E.B usman ceo of EPO, not running out of gas not even looking a tiny bit tired fighting at that altitude

@@exploreece945 If Usman doesnt give him no space in the rematch its over

Yeah like when Masvidal gave him the two piece 🍗 & 🥤 😂

Same for Oliveira. Alwaus the underdog and he finished EVERYONE.they took his belt , and he finished Gaethje even more easily.

@@Lolife86 I was so overwhelmed with Leon’s wild win and glovers recent, I completely forgot about the absolute DOG Charlie Olives. You are correct. Imma add the edit

Glover? Nah, he was just finished. Oliveira for sure.

@@Jayrage The fact glover won against a monster such as Jan, after his 20(?) year journey to that UFC fight, is more than notable in the conversation. You’re smokin rocks or just started watching during quarantine.

Charlie Olives😭

No he doesn't but joe bahama mama does

Indeed

Not really tho imo. I'm not hating amazing achievement but it was 1 out of a 100 shot right when usman wasn't defending which is also 1 out of a 100 times. The stars aligned and it connected perfectly being 1 out of a 10000 chance probably. Can't wait for the rematch. Usmans is gonna change his style a lot being humbled a bit and I think and it will be a complete different and in my opinion even more dominant fight.

@@3K4peikos or maybe Leon read usmans movements and got a high level land?

@@ivorbeckers1345 could be. I'm no expert. Just my humble opinion

@@ivorbeckers1345 Yea and it only took 5 rounds to figure it out. Was a lucky shot.

Brandon Moreno

Well said

True champ mentality

leon performed very well in the first round especially with that takedown

Facts

Right. It really means a lot in the world today. There's too many heartless shitters out here causing problems for other people.

Now two Jamaican born title holders. My wife is bragging.😅

Especially nice of him not to follow up with strikes after the kick.

I don't like to use the word but anyone who says that kick was lucky is a casual

@@GoGetYourShinebox It wasn't luck. Usman didn't check a single kick. It's muay thai 101 leon caught on n switched to a head kick. Head shot, done!

It was luck he been losing all rounds he wasn’t winning nada Usman gonna take back that belt

@@s-jaystephen425 Leon dominated the first round, had issues with the altitude in the middle rounds, and when Kamaru's cardio failed him in the 5th, Leon knocked him with well set up head kick. The trilogy fight won't be at altitude. Leon wins the trilogy 2-1.

@@geoffreysorkin5774 if you think Leon Wins the trilogy then you don’t know shit about fighting! Usman will blaze him mark my words !

First thing he did was ring his mum in the tunnel. Both crying

@Mark Berenger I was correct in my comment, Usman went into the fight with a game plan, he was executing the game plan well up until the point he got hit. And no it doesn't mean in the first instant, game plans can be foiled at any given time. But I see you're one of these keyboard warriors who like to find fault in people's comments where there isn't any just to start a meaningless argument, but continue lol.

Agreed! Get him on Rogan!
