I am over the moon for Leon. I watched the replay of that head kick more than 20 times. His emotional speech “look at me now” nearly had me in tears. Couldn’t happen to a better man. I’m delighted. Kamaru Usman was getting too big headed. It will be more difficult for him to beat Edward’s in the trilogy in London. I seriously believe the altitude affected Lyon. That won’t be a problem in London. And also the support will be behind Rocky.
Man, Paddy predicted the knockout !!
Paddy the baddy called it, Leon literally kicked his teeth in!
Paddy: Kick his teeth in lad. Leon: Say no more.
Leon's journey has been beautiful to watch. I could see the shine in his eyes when he was receiving all the support Man deserves this. The possibility of Kamaru winning and going up to 205 to achieve an all time PFP GOAT status is very interesting. But I'd rather see Leon win. Very torn between this.
@TehBliz

Usman winning the 205 belt is a fairytale that’s never going to happen be realistic here. He has more of a chance at 185 and even then it’s a stretch.

That’s cause there’s only 60 mil people in the UK. So everything’s just naturally more of a close niche circle. In America it’s 350 million people where 1 side of the U.S is completely different than the other. Only time Americans root for another fight the same way UK people root for their fighters is if someone is from the same state as them

Americans as a whole are actually more patriotic than we are in the UK. Proudly displaying your flag is seen as a little cringe over here and i've never really understood why. I always see Americans unapologetically displaying their pride in being American and i wish we did it a little more here.

I don't believe the media or fanbase is overlooking how special of a fighter Leon is. Unfortunately for Leon, he is fighting what is pacing to be arguably the greatest UFC fighter ever, which is an incredibly tough hurdle to climb. I wishful for an epic fight, and even though I would most likely cheer for Leon against any other fighter, I see Usman continuing on this impressive run.
@Austin123.
Жыл бұрын
Nah, majority of media are saying the same thing which is that Leon is more than likely gonna be a far difficult challenge for Usman. Which is very reasonable because Edwards is very well rounded, good clench work (especially with the elbows), and has gotten a lot better with his wrestling/jiu-jitsu

Going through so much but holding his ground and hoping for the best, working hard on his game all the time, he not only deserved a title shot but he deserved the title itself and he took it in style. *_And that's 10 fights in a row._*
Leon Edwards I wish u the best mate u deserve it - yes champ 👍👍👍
In the UK I like to think we rally around our fighters and Athletes, doesn't matter what ends there from! MMA is a growing sport here and I hope to see it more recognised and celebrated in the mainstream as time goes on! Not everyone can become a world champion, but a world champion can come from anywhere!
I think this guy is going to knock kamaru out.

0:25 wait paddy made the exact correct prediction
I'm from the Bronx NEW YORK... I always anticipated Leon winning this title. I know kamaru is a beast but sometimes a fighter just doesn't perform against a certain fighter and I truly think Leon Edwards is just that one fighter that could be a kryptonite for Leon... I'm rooting for him out here
After watching this I’m happy he won
This was so awesome to watch after the fact! Happy for Leon and British MMA
People must forget Leon and still had beef that’s real cool of Darren to send him a message
Paddy was actually spot on...Leon did kick his teeth in and then Kamaru went night night
