    The way Leon set up that head kick was masterful. Switches stance, feints a kick a couple of times to gauge Usman's reaction mixed in with a couple of jabs and a low kick. See's Usman isn't concerned about a high kick and WHAM lights out. That has to be a blueprint for a head kick.

    Connors recent tweet summed up Leon's win perfectly tbh. It was the EVERYTHING of the year. The timing of the commentary, the dominance of the champion, the record for undefeated streak on the line, the corner advice at the end of r4, the literal last minute head kick ko of a fight that he was about to lose, the post fight interview, the backstage footage of him on a call to his mum........Holy shit. It just doesn't get better.

    I love the first fight for one reason alone. The complete respect they show to each other. That’s what I was taught when training in martial arts and I feel like it has been lost a bit in mma. There are some that still truly respect the art but there are a lot more that don’t.

And then to see him as the first person in the cage to lift and congratulate Pereira on his last round title win, just amazing.
