Good to see Leon getting the coverage he deserves!! Well done champ. 👌🏻👍🏻
Was just thinking the same!
Hasn't got anywhere near enough as he should have which is a disgrace.
Way too late. He won the title weeks back and barely got any recognition.
@@craigr4763 becuase he was getting handled by Usman until the ko, Usman got sloppy the last round and Leon lands a hell Mary
@@dbroyawner5543 Usman didn’t get sloppy. He was looking for a knockout himself.
Took you guys long enough... This man deserves recognition.
I mean tbh he was really inactive for quite a while. But dammmmnnn.....
@@thehoodedvagabum7375 him winning the world title should be as big a deal in this country as joshua winning.
@@Red-Eyez420gaming bigger deal imo! Was more on the line for Usman and Leon
@@thehoodedvagabum7375 he got really unlucky tbf. He was the first ranked guy who matchuped with Khamzat and his fight with Woodley fell through bc of covid. If atleast one of these fights happened he would've got his shot sooner
@@Thawhid everything happens for a reason….if anything he got really lucky he got an eye poke against belal, and a title shot from beating Nate
Finally Edwards gets some love from the British media!
Media at all
from uk only since everyone else in the world knows it was a lucky kick and uk people are cringe. we all saw on the uk fight cards. if an uk fighter lands a jab it gets cheered like he won the world title and when the opponent (not from uk) breathes, he gets boo’ed immediately
@@beaualIoevv The fact you're calling it a "Lucky Kick" is enough too tell me you have no idea what you're talking about, so everything else you're saying just goes out of the window as irrelevant
Who hurt you lol
@@beaualIoevv lucky kick which he was training for specifically
His kick is so crisp.
As Gilbert Burns said it BEFORE the fight ----- right after Burns fought Khamzat to a more or less standing still, even if Khamzat was given the decision --- among the Top 4 or so, Leon has what it takes to hurt Usman. He has the size, height, speed, agility, and crisp striking & kicking techniques to do a one-punch or one-kick KO ending. Just give him a little chance & Leon could hurt you...
Usman will always have the wrestling advantage; but if dominating Leon for 6 rounds Usman still wasn't able to really hurt Leon decisively, he's not going to. In their 3rd meeting, Leon would be even sharper, more confident, with better tools up his sleeve; and by sea level London, Leon wouldn't be gassed out after the first round like at high altitude Utah.
Tekkerz!!
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 plus the home fans come into play which can make a little difference
@@Spam877 The casual has arrived
@@Spam877 he’s just run u through the whole thing as to how he set Usman up for the kick. Are You okay
He throws it so effortlessly and quickly
Yea his technique is smooth as f.
@@Spam877 you ufc fans are what put me off mma
@@Spam877 would you stop there's nothing lucky about a perfectly set up kick like that. He showed the true art of technical striking with that immaculate kick.
@@Spam877 can’t be luck when he set it up.
@@Spam877 Why couldn't Usman get it done in 3 the last time then? Nevermind getting knocked out lmao
The kick was BEAUTIFUL this is exactly what it’s all about it’s not some flashy kick but he has PERFECTED to the point where it’s so so sharp and effortless
Keano keano
Amazing honestly, fast , powerful and accurate, the perfect kick
Not a flashy kick? You know nothing about martial arts lol
@@WardenOfTerra Eyup the world champ is here
What a fantastic feeling it is to have a U.K U.F.C champion!
Leon is an absolute inspiration!!
If he fights Khamzat Chimaev next he’s toast
@@bigduckeugene4570 what if Usman fights Chimaev next tho
@@bigduckeugene4570 He'll lose to Usman I think, not saying he got lucky, but Usman won't switch off towards the end of the next fight.
who spells ufc that way😂😂😭
@@Spam877 I've heard it said that luck is taking advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself, that's exactly what Leon did imo.
Usman: Taking what from who?
Leon: Taking the belt from you!
Did he actually say this?
@@Charlie-yg1nm yeah
"Owl Soup.'
bro gonna live of one lucky kick his whole career… another journeyman masvidal moment. next fight he will lose the belt if he will fight… since he fights once a year…
Utter nonsense mate. If he meant to throw the kick, was aiming for the head, purposely threw the faint beforehand and it all connected, along with footage of his coaches drilling the exact move, then where’s the luck? And it was only 2 months ago so quite where you’ve got that he’s gonna be living off it for his whole career is beyond me.
They took their time inviting him. Finally, Leon getting some recognition.
It's actually heartwarming to see Leon getting some good media exposition at last
That first kick scared me and he wasn’t even putting effort into it…. Definitely a deadly weapon!
Love Edwards so much. By far my favourite fighter. Was always a HUGE fan but he won me over with his will to not give up. He deserves everything. Would love to meet him one day, and I am not one to be such a fan of other people!
Will not give up attitude the kid litrally quit and was broken till that headkick landed you fooking casual
@@gavingg4761 the whole reason he won is because he refused to quit you plonker, you're not too smart are you.
@@13JazzyG Lool right! These guys are morons man how is a guy broken so badly he kos the “p4p” stiff 💀
Same
@@gavingg4761 he was still in there to land that kick you fooking casual
Kudos for Sky for putting Leon the show, well deserved Leon. A good guy too!
So humble and down to earth always makes you feel welcome in his presence
Never thought I'd see Leon Edwards and
Jimmy Bullard in the same room 😂 or see Robbie Keane throw a cheeky Tornado Kick, but here we are
Leon is a gentle men with a hard knock life ,But always stood real
The fact he sent it flying
It's a spinning back back. The fact that you don't know how normal people with half-decent kicks can do that.
Normally fill up the slam man with sand or water to keep it stable clearly empty lol
@@craigr4763 so that means it cant be funny?... Someones a bit touchy
@@courtneyharrison798 did i say it wasnt..?
Watch out everyone, Craig is hard
Sky actually acknowledging the UFC and British fighters. Never thought I'd see the day.
Leon looked well impressed with Robbie's effort 🤣
2:00 Leons reaction after Robbie‘s kick is so wholesome
Leon is totally relaxed and kicks with some amazing power and technique. He makes it look so easy yet it is so hard.
Leon does his kicks so effortlessly. The rotarion of the kick is so perfect even when just demonstrating of the kick
I've watched MMA since 2006 but that is probably the greatest KO i've seen in terms of who he did it to, how the fight was going and it being so late in the fight. And oh the execution was of course flawless aswell
To be honest that kick is absolutely insane. And to pull it off with that level of accuracy is even more insane. True champ.
Lovely to see Leon get all the love at home, always overlooked his entire career, he's just too humble.
leon, what a legend, love from Australia!
Throwing high kicks is such a high risk/high reward move and Leon hit the jackpot with that one💸💸💸 Well done!!
Happy for him he finally gets the shine!!! 🙏💪Boom Headshot!
Same here, been following him for years. Such a humble lad as well. Knew he could do it
@@garymct6860 👌💪Well deserved!!!
He don't deserve it he just got a lucky kick usman in 3.
deserves nothing for just 1 kick fluke win
@@boris_js @PVEorPVP both of y’all’s existences are flukes.
That Leon Edwards KO was incredible, so happy he’s the UFC WW champion, what a amazing win 🦵 👏👏👏👏
One ,,,, ONE ,, significant hit.
Leon was getting demolished for the entire fight .
He was literally getting smashed and mauled.
He landed the one strike he needed.
Kudos to him, it was a perfect shot, timed and executed perfectly.
Yes he won.
But - he got demolished for the entire fight . It wasn't an amazing win.
@@420_24seven he was took Usman's back in first round & was going for RNC but Usman cheated by grabbing Leon's gloves for entire round & then again cheated by grabbing cage.
@@Orion-ns8hj they both grabbed the fence loads..
Usman ruined him the entire fight.
I very much doubt a rematch would see Leon retain the title.
But - I honestly am happy for him, a big win for Jamaica , it was a perfectly placed shot that won him a fight he was losing.
@@420_24seven He won the first round easily. He hardly got "demolished". Usman done zero damage, Leon didn't have a mark on him after the fight.
@Jarick à ̃stergaard you act like he was getting mauled by Khabib the whole fight. Leon didn’t have a scratch on him when he sent Usman to the canvas. “Demolished” my ass 😂😂 go cry more
HEADSHOT - BANG - DONE
P4P WHAT THATS IT
ROCKY LEON EDWARDS 👑
Usman's head moved into the kick making it more devastating for Leon to act like he meant it is total BS.
soooo good
@@SedriqMiers there’s literally footage of him drilling this exact kick with the feint set up and everything before the fight. Ur just a casual and can’t handle the fact that Usman got sent into another dimension 🤣
@@SedriqMiers there's still time to delete this
Leon had such a rough 3 years he really deserves this praise whether he wins the trilogy or not.
That does look flipping lethal, great technique / strategy
Got to love Leon getting what he has deserved...RESPECT AND RECOGNITION!
The way he threw that kick so softly but is wayyy more powerful then my hardest headkick. Like I genuinely thought I had good head kicks but damn Leon makes it look easy
Nice kick from Robbie
good technique
That spin crecent kick and the Tornado kick from the hosts were surprisingly not all bad!
He could knockout usman with 😂
That spinning kick from that guy was awesome !! Haha
Damn Leon is such a likable guy!You can easily see how good hearted he is!You diserve it champ!
Leon pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in UFC championship history!!! I'm glad he is champ!!!!
Leon is going to be in the British hall of greats when it comes to fighting. Good to see the British media finally give him love ❤️
When I first saw Leon fight
I new one day he would be champ
Spoke with him in Costa
Really down to earth as naturally humble
Can't wait to watch his next fight
All of a sudden every loves Leon
Anyone that's used "Bob" before knows how much power it takes to launch him like that. Impressive.
Not a lot if there's nothing in the base
Love that Leon is getting the love from all the hard work he has put in. Mum I made it!!!
Bro threw that kick out like a jab lmao!!
love to see leon making the presser rounds ! he deserves everything and i hope he wins the 3rd one
Robbie Keane what a legend! He's still got it. I loved his celebrations whenever her scored.
That was not a spinning back kick….
@@jlee7063 indeed, I also noticed Leon mislabelled it, that was actually a tornado round house kick from Robbie (at least that's what they call it in Taekwondo).
@@odaneb oh shutup
I love Leon Edwards, a truly likeable humble champion 🏆
He’s actually good guy and high level fighter
Was a beauty the confidence of this man unstoppable 🇬🇧👊🏻
You ain't slick, WhiteManColonizer give the aboriginals and the native Americans their land back
Usman is coming back 🇳🇬🇳🇬
@@manestrengthandcourage7121 dudes not even nigerian lol
@MANE ,STRENGTH AND COURAGE coming back to sleep 😂😂
ITS SAD TO ME THAT YOU PPL DONT GIVE THIS MAN THE LOVE AND RESPECT HE DESERVES.
If he was white he would've been interviewed by every British Media and invited by WWE. He would've been everywhere.
@@khayablack3305 lol shut up
@@khayablack3305 thats true
@@crisalcantara7671 not really. Bisping didn't exactly get preferential treatment by the Britts. He didn't even get a mural like Leon.
@@Inkosi_uJabu_Ndlovu aah i see , 😁
I’m happy to see it a young man from the ghetto of Erdington that never gave up on his dreams just beautiful to see
Leon effortlessly knocked it over with the real spinning back kick lol
Leon deserves everything he's earned
No ! He was underwater during 24 min ! He certainly does not deserve the belt, and the way he acts cocky.. he need to be humbled soon, lol like he mauled Usman whereas he knew he was losing the fight, that's just a miracle KO, nothing more .
@@Le_Fullmetal it's combat sports. The fight isn't over till the bell rings
@@Le_Fullmetal He won the first round easily. Usman done zero damage with his wrestling against the cage.
What Leon didn’t mention was that he feinted the jab BEFORE he feinted the straight. Of course, a fighter would be wise to a jab as a feint and expect it was a setup for something else so Leon threw the jab feint then feinted a straight to make it appear as that was the setup. Usman saw it from a mile away and moved safely away from where the straight was directed. Unfortunately for Usman, the straight was just to set up the kick.
This was such a great segment so happy for the champ! Look at him now
"Right move aside Big Dog"
Bullard is a joker!
Props to Leon.
Fully deserved and great to have another UK Champ.
He had to wait long enough!
Leon is a legend and deserves everything. Such a nice humble dude and still seems like the exact same guy he was before the fame. Genuine British sporting hero. Bisping was getting lonely at the top of UK MMA, Leon's there now
You probably need to study the meanings of words a little more before you use them. Do you know what the word legend means?
Keane has a decent spinning back kick...nice
Love to see it, great vibes from the whole crew in this one 🖤
it's nice to see he's getting the love from you guys in UK, finally.
The most humble world champion there is 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Demetrious Johnson
@OverHypedKid LMAO you got me frozen stiff like Elsa
Fantastic Leon .
Leon's completing tasks in ufc 4 career mode
doesn't wanna get fined now!
glad to see him get the recognition he deserves ... headshot BANG
No matter what happens he is always the champ in my mind
The champ💪🏽
so happy for leon man
Leon is such an awesome guy.
True champion.
1 move , now he's knows all over the world.
Leon is the man
That spinning sidekick was so clean💯💯💯
Glad to see Leon getting the spotlight!
He's got a chance cause he's got no arms 😂😂😂
It's amazing how perfect his kicks. To quote, Bruce Lee one kick a 1000 times is always better than 1000 kicks once.
To quote bruce lee properly. ' I do not fear the man who has practiced 10000 kicks, I fear the man who has practiced 1 kick 10000 times'
@@mamamymammasaidthat6764 My memory space is better served to remember the principle of a quote than quote verbatim itself.
@@TemplarX2 whatever butters your crumpet
The content we need👏🏽
Leon is a lovely lad man. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy
Such a chilled chavy
look at me Now!!!!!!!
Bullard is such a legend 😂 GOODNIGHT IRENE!!!
Leon is really humble person he deserves lots of respect ❤❤❤❤
Rocky Balboa 😊
"Usman is very boxing orientated" before the comments I believe he means in the striking area of the game Usman sticks to mainly boxing but he is a wrestler and his fight game is 80% wrestling.
I think we all knew what he meant😂
Of course he is a wrestler but Usman throws basically zero kicks on his feet.
Yeah that's what they meant
grappler is the term mate
So happy he finally gets appreciated
Keano with the tornado!!!
The moment Usman became Irene
Great head kick but , bwoooy he was getting walloped in the previous rounds.
Keep crying, what happened to usman takedown defence record? Clown
high altitude got Edwards gassed Usman trains in high altitude, Edwards started strong the first round and he show what he is capable of against Usman
Leon barely had a scratch.. Kamaru can only hold Leon and try to get a boring decision because he knows what will happen if he doesn’t just like last fight
Usman had to wrestle him cause he ain’t want the smoke on the feet.
@@theheat9073 exactly
Leon's the man! Bringing back numbered cards to the UK!
360 roundhouse was pretty epic too
Seeing Leon happy makes me happy
MMA has come so far in terms of mainstream recognition. You love to see it.
Love the guy and glad he is living it, you can see he enjoys it. ''look at me now'' so awesome.
Wow the way true Geordie finally gave this man a platform to showcase that excellent KO is a testament to what a great guy Brian is!
leons a g and that dude had a pretty clean tornado kick too 🤣
Aah man bless Leon's soul
That first demonstration kick shows how much Leon has drilled that.
You can see he’s practiced that kick very well
🔥😂😂good stuff l! Gotta love Leon man such a humble guy
Leon’s laugh is amazing 😁
Leon is a beast 👑💯🔥
So glad to see Leon getting some exposure.
