#UFC #UFC286 - Sport
really happy for him to defend his belt in home country. leon really deserved this.
Yeah...after all of those cancelations 😂
Jamaica is his home
Dont let em bully u son!
@@JayCee-tp2gv been in the uk more than Jamaica buddy
@@Mackenzie002 Some Brits have been in Spain more than they have been in Britain. Does that make them Spanish ? Its amazing how many of you people are so gullible and brain dead. Literal sheep.
Remember when the thing he was most known for was “I believe I deserve title shot next”
I never took him seriously as a title contender.... boy was I wrong.
@@adamimberti6948 dont let em bully u son!
3 piece and soda feud may never continue because he's now much higher on the totem pole. Jorge better enjoy his retirement and get fat eating chicken and soda.
That 5 round victory was more sweet than the headshot because Leon showed it wasn’t just a fluke he really is a better all round fighter than Usman.
You are delusional.
The audio is fantastic!!!
"I believe I deserve a headshot next"
-Colby Covington
😂😂😂😂😂😂
happy for the home crowd. The take down defense was significant imo
His home is Jamaica
Ther is a reason that he has the best takedown defence in his weight class 👍
@@JayCee-tp2gv he moved to the UK at age 9... I'd say hometown 😊
@@Zilla23_111 He wasn't even born here 😂😂😂
@@JayCee-tp2gv he was born in Jamaica 🙄... I think growing up from the age of 9 in a particular place kinda makes that his hometown 😕
Leon has better fighting IQ 🧠
🤣 All the other welterweights... " We can come out now!!! We're not afraid anymore!!!" 🐣🍼👶🤱🐥 🤣🤣🤣
Trevor Whitman is garbage
Yessss I’ve finally found a ufc fan that actually knows what there talking about🎉🎉
Usman fought the whole fight with a shot knee, check the footage pre-fight
@@vhsquality he used the injury excuse last fight too.
I think everyone has to believe it at this point. Much respect to Leon
It truly is I counted him out tbf. FairPlay Leon. 🙏
So we're just going to act like the sound is fine?
Thank you….I was checking my ear buds.
Bro that’s what I’m saying I’m like am I the only one
WTF
Yes Leon ! Keeping that belt in the uk my friend 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yo imagine leon playing a role in Top Boy bc of all the shine he has received recently
King Leon, so happy for you mate and thanks for an exiting fight from start to end! Headshot dead!✊🏽
Volume isn't working
Crazy to think that none of this would’ve happened if Diaz didn’t stop and point
😆 probably true
Please lol
Dude man was winning that fight , dias would finish him , kamaru hits him and he still manage to stay in
Diaz did not want to ruin UFC plans once more...
This is a harrd thought 😆😆
THE AUDIO IS NOT WORKING on most devices 😢
Mine works bro
This man is so down to earth,humble.. respect 🔥
Well done Leon the country is very proud of you. Deserve every second of it. Long live the King.
I wanna go on a rant
Colby doesn’t deserve the title shot and I’m a huge Colby fan. I even think he won the second Fight against Usman. But it’s like how you do even make this fight make sense. Leon beat and finished Kamaru a guy who beat Colby twice. Leon has a point how do you just sit out for a year NOT INJURED and slide your way back to a title fight. I don’t even think Jorge deserves it either even if he beat Burns. Burns deserves the title shot if he wins. the only reason Jorge gets a title shot is because Leon doesn’t like him.
It's not about deserved. It's a business.
Colby has proved he can sell PPVs (unlike Belal) and make weight (unlike Chimaev).
No ur not a colby fan stfu
Leon deserves the chance to make Jorge answer for that cheap shot now, he's earned that right tonight in my opinion. Just my thoughts anyway.
@@NotKimiRaikkonen by “deserve” I think he means they earned it based on their fights. Colby lost twice as a contender there’s no grounds for him to get a 3RD title shot. Dana is all about business and doesn’t care what the fighters or fans want, it is what it is.
@@Nobodys_safe I know. I'm just saying at the end of the day Colbys going to show up, make weight and fight an awesome fight.
Dana's in the money business, not running a charity based on fairness.
Belal Muhammad "I believe I deserve Title shot next"
😂
😴🥱🥱🛌
It was a close fight all right and I was rooting for Usman to beat/dominate Leon and regain the title by decision, but Leon hands down has beaten Usman in this trilogy matchup, landing the more significant and damaging shots and showed good takedown and wrestling defense and ability to quickly scramble back up when taken down
Not really he still got taken down about the same as last fight and usman bombed on his face when he was getting back up and had him grabbing at the fence trying to cheat.
@@Peter-uo9km he did that once and he got points deducting for it. This time, he stuffed a lot of takedowns and even if he got took down, he got straight back up and didn’t let Usman grab and hold him or control him. In terms of overall performance, it was way better than the last fight for Leon.
@@siraajuddin736 usman bombed on his face while he was climbing back up.
@Siraaj Uddin if the ref didn't cheat for Leon and stand him up instead of putting him back on the ground then usman would of bombed on him even more. Fuckin herb Dean helped the kid by not putting him back on the ground. That shit was a fake ass fight.
@@Peter-uo9km you don’t get the position after a point deduction lol cope
And just like that, Nate proves why he's the pound for pound best ever. Nate essentially beat Leon, who beat Kamaru, who beat Jorge, who beat Till, who beat Gastelum, who beat Bisping, who beat Matt Hamill, who's the only guy that's given Jon Jones a loss making Nate Diaz the 170lb champ and heavyweight champ.
🤣🤣 if i could like this twice I would
Smoking on that retard pack 😂🎉
“Essentially beat Leon”
Nate cant finish a sentence let alone a fight.
😆
Champions take the belt but only Legends can defend them! Well done Leon as always great fight IQ and you have a brilliant team behind you. Come On!!!!
Is that 12 wins in a row? Damn
kamaru never capitalized on the back when he took Leon down. Khamzat would definitely be a bigger threat to Leon style wise.
Khamzat is a 185er, I’ve never seen the fans dismiss a massive weight miss like his
@@johnorson6907 Khamzat's striking defence is absolute dogshit, and Leon's takedown defense is only going to better. But yes, on top of this - he's not staying down at welterweight. Be realistic.
He couldn't man, Leon was straight up every time (apart from once).
@@johnorson6907 what are you even talking about the guy’s made 170 3 times and missed once. He wouldn’t been 7lbs off if they didn’t tell him to stop cutting. He still would miss probably but not with 7lbs.
@@JusstReels the guy’s first three fights were at middleweight, his hardest fight was against a former lightweight. You clearly have a selective memory if you think he’ll run through anyone. None of that means he’s not extremely talented
Leon fucking rocky edwards what a class 25 mins props to both men but so deserved from rocky💯
Is anyone else having audio issues from this video?
I really hope he holds to his guns on standing his ground as the Champ and choosing his next opponent 👏 He deserves it 🙏
Fairplay Leon I'm glad your representing the UK. Warrior.
Love how he dismisses Colby .. "NO!"
Too bad it's not up to him, it's up to the payout
Audio not working, all you can hear is distortion. Reupload.
Look at the comments bro. It's all bots. Mind blowing. Just showing UFC might be paying for views/comments
@@Darbley92 Or it's just people going straight to commenting without caring about the interview.
Big up Leon Your time now 🎉
Congrats to Leon. I guess it's Leon vs. Colby next. Hopefully, they can do it back in the UK again. Maybe in Birmingham this time or a big stadium.
Audio not working? All other videos play fine
I believe I deserve title defense.
I love this man
Such a great performance 🔥 Easy work
Congrats
Audio ?
Audio????
Where is the sound?
Thx god Diaz stopped and started pointing. Love to see Leon up top
Could’ve ended his title run if he wanted
The Champ is here!!
I thought my phone was fucked up smh
"I truly believe I deserve a title shot".
Thats nine fights in a row lol
"I believe I deserve a headshot next"
-Colby Covington
Home town you from Birmingham and fought London
Leon Edwards 🇬🇧🇯🇲 True Real Champion 🏆
No Doubt 👊🏽
Hell Yeah, the crowd was beautiful, im still forever gonna be disappointed in Brazil at 283
World Class 🥷🇯🇲
Anyone having problems with the audio or it's just me 🙄
It Was just the beginning, a lot Welterweight monster Will coming after you, hope you got that needed to face them Rocky.
Ayeee 🔥🔥🔥
Great work ufc 😂 the audio is broken
No its not
HEADSHOT.DEAD
@@Randomaveragewhitedudecope 🤷🏽♂️ headshot dead was the beginning of the end of usman career, brodie really thought he could compete at 205 💀💀💀
Grab cage, 2 groin kicks, grab glove, dead lol
Wtf is going on with the audio? Is anyone else hearing NOTHING?
Good well played mate
Best cup kicker in the game
💯👏🏼
Colby is definitely gonna get it. Unless Masvidal pulls off the unthinkable and beats Burns in spectacular fashion.
He'd still be in the underdog in 2-3 fights in 170 + Islam so maybe 4
Islam will kill him
And he'd likely win them all... which is crazy that people still doubt him. Look who he just beat... *TWICE!* 😱
leon aint fw jon jones tho quote me on that
@@SheffOnK2 that’s just unrealistic, at least they are bringing up relevant information. Jones is 250, makes no sense to even talk about it
Now Nate Diaz can be champion lol
Arrhh they never made audio.
One reign ends a new one begins, I think Colby is next up and then Colby vs Marty
Dana has promised Colby the title shot IF he drops the charges against Masvidal 💯
I deserve title shot to I truly believe it's my time 😊
The best athlete from jamaica. Thats right i said it
So many UK and Americans were all put to believe that Darren tail would have been here. No one look at Leon Edwards look at him now.
Man talk about earning it
Leon’s done it twice !
Audiooooo?!!?!?!(
Y’all remember when the belt was avoiding Leon for years and everything wasn’t going accordingly as planned? Now Leon dethroned Usman from being the top of the world. Unbelievable.
No sound
Leon head kicked usman right outta his prime 😭
There's no audio stu...ds
no one called out the audio, it's only sucked on UFC and ESPN MMA since the DIA started in the past 6 years, before all that it was great.
I’d love to see Leon fight Shavkat
When you uploaded this video this and got messed up I can't understand anything that they're saying
USMAN FAN where are youuuuuuuuuuuuu come out and pllllllaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy. !!!!
They trying so hard to put Colby in it man , sad , it needs to be fare , fight you way in ,
Love that last line of yours mate
it's not about"fair" "deserving" it's a business.
@@onlymybest9162 well he’s the champ, they can’t force him to fight anybody and if he doesn’t think someone deserves to fight him then it’s just not gonna happen
@@elonmusket1820 WRONG...the UFC will just strip him of his title if he chooses not to fight colby. You're right, the ufc can't force leon to fight anyone but they can strip him of his UFC title and then he would have to go compete at bellator or some 2nd rate organization. We know he doesn't want to do that and from a fan perspective hopefully that doesn't because then everyone loses.
@@elonmusket1820 they'll just strip him of his title just like they did to francis ngannou and relase him. leon also doesnt have that kind of star power or bargaining power that francis did. Let's be honest here....... welterweight is a stacked division talentwise..... its not heavyweight.
Nate Diaz, where are you brother?? Rocky needs to be rocked.
Colby vs belal for shot
👏👏👏👏
Why no one talk about the sound on this video ? It just my phone ?
OMG!!! THE AUDIO IS FUCKED ON THIS VIDEO TOOOOOOOOO 😮😮😮
atta be champ
WELL DONE M8
glad he won
We gotta new pretty face reporter to take over Sankos old job, now that she's a real announcer
@@13lack13ird I just watched her do a fight night card recently. That doesn't count?
Usman looked beat before he even started 😂
Bruh no sound
0:30 ladies and gentlemen we got the most stupid question asked of all time .
Sound's corrupted
Why is the audio so bad?
Lion
Why was Kumaru fighting in that position? He should have fought where Leon should have no chances of throwing that kicks to his guts and head. Usman had no answer to those kicks. He was eating them up all the time. Not defended nicely
Look at me now again
Colby getting mcgregor treatment, dana has a new favorite fighter to gag on.
👏👏👏👏👏
1 billion dollar company btw
not with burns covington rakhmonov and chimaev chasing gold kamaru prob retire soon
Instead of headshot dead crowds will chant grabbed the fence going forward...
Fight was a draw, he did not dominate and cheated/fouled repetitively...
Crowd and commentary were biased towards him... UK UFC fans are embarrassing they never cared about this guy until he got the belt...
Cry some more lad
They still dont care about him. He is literally unknown in the UK. Its not his home so why would we support him ?
@@JayCee-tp2gv wankers lol
@@Randomaveragewhitedude An accent is completely meaningless
To bad we can't hear this interview
