His confidence was literally the main factor to his victory, he understood Usman's ability and respected it, but did not fear the man whatsoever.

Great to see someone who had been living the role of unnoticed and uninteresting guy in the room while doing all the hard work in the gym finally takes the spotlight and alpha status in his division. He's the living testimony of "real G's works hard in silence".

What an amazing performance. Leon’s standup is so technical and his takedown defense was next level. He’s also so composed in octagon, he never presses or seems to get flustered, just fights his fight. What a great champion, beating Usman in back to back fights, once emphatically and then to out point him via convincing decision is incredibly impressive.

Amazing fight! Leon's takedown defence is next level and the striking so precise and had power behind way more shots than Usman even if the total strikes were close (idk the numbers) He was losing the 3rd and the cage grab was a fair loss of point but he didn't leave it to chance. 4 rounds to 1 48-46. Headshot dead, AND STILL dead!

I really think that the high altitude during the 2nd fight was what caused Leon so many problems. He won that first round, and then got very exhausted very quickly. This time, he won the first round and then maintained that same pace throughout. It was a superbly clean and technical performance from Leon. The level of concentration from him throughout to meet and outwit someone like Usman in the ring is remarkable. Good luck to him

I think I probably only watched the first two rounds and then part of the third round and then just stopped watching the fight because it wasn't really that exciting and I was getting kind of tired of seeing Leon blatantly cheating and acting as though he didn't know what he was doing when he got deducted a point. There aren't too many guys that I particularly care for in welterweight division except for maybe Gilbert Burns, Stephen Thompson, Michael Chiesa and Shavhat Rakhmonov. So it didn't really matter to me who won the main event but I just don't like blatant cheating and then acting as though they didn't do anything. Leon does seem like a pretty cool dude though. I definitely didn't like it when he got sucker punched by Masvidal. Whatever though. I'm looking forward to next week's fight card 👍

@@lewis9728 yeah it's all good. I don't get wrapped up in these conversations on KZbin. Yeah the welterweight division just doesn't appeal that much to me but I think Gilbert Burns definitely deserves a shot because he's everybody that the UFC has asked him to. He doesn't complain. He just wants to stay active but also get what he deserves which is a title shot. But now that you've got Khazmat in the mix that makes things a little interesting that's if he can make weight or if he wants to stay in that division. Jorge will never be champion. And honestly I can't see Colby being champion either. But you're right weirder things have happened. Who would have ever thought that Valentina Scehchenko would have gotten submitted. But Alexa Grasso put together a great game plan and she's going to be a great champion as well. Oh well take care my friend. Enjoy the fights. I don't know if you're into other fight organizations but ONE FC has some really great fights and they're coming to the US in May I believe. Demetrius Johnson is the main event and Sage Northcutt is making his return. I'm curious to see how Sage is going to do this time.. ✌️

Yup and the couple times he did get taken down he got right back up which was very impressive. Usman usually is able to keep fighters down once he gets them down. Leon got up quick without taking any damage down there.

The problem with usmans take down is that he doesn't threaten any submissions. Colby covington always threatens to rear naked chokes so people never feel safe turning their back to him that's kamaru biggest mistake

As an a fellow man from the West Midlands, not sure if I'm being too biased but I don't see how it was as close as a fight as what people are saying. The rounds Leon won were clear wins for him whilst the one round you could say Usman won was not a clear one. Even the point Leon got deducted, after that I feel Leon won the round (meaning it was a 9-9 round) I must be biased but no denying Leon's performance was unbelievable!

Well deserved, you are one of my favourite fighters in the UFC.. Seeing fighters buy fancy cars, jewellery stupid things when they start making bank and you bought you're Mother a fast food shop!! Absolutely amazing. I've been to Brum, just on a holiday visited some girls living in a uni there. And I loved it. It was a rough town won't lie but hey lucky I had some African friends and I had a good tan from Australia haha. I had a top night at Gatecrasher and got some jerk chicken after. Yum! I'm going back in a year or two and would love to eat at Mumma Edwards shop. You are a great fighter and a great son. Congratulations mate!!

in addition to his skills this kid has an imposing figure. 6'3", impeccably built, fast, strong, technical stand up, p4p takedown defence and now very very confident.

Leon trained with Islam and Khabib at AKA when he was still a grappling novice so he done the right thing clearly. He will never need to be a better wrestler than these Dagestanis and the top US College Wrestlers. He has enough game to hold his own, he has clearly worked on his TDD to maybe a new level for MMA, plus he is a BJJ black belt. Not a bad base for someone who is often considered the greatest striker in the division (along with Wonderboy)
