![[HD] Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman get into heated exchange on post fight broadcast](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/m0NyaJh_GDI/mqdefault.jpg)
Colby sold himself out for a character. Disrespected Usman's deceased coach just a year after his death, took a shot at Matt Hughes about his accident, spoke on Masvidal's family, bragged about a supposed affair with Polyana, called Brazil a dump and Brazilians filthy animals, insulted Leon's murdered father, and so much more BS all for money. He made funds but lost almost everything of true value, including his friends and teammates. Sure it helped his career and gained him lots of shallow fans, but with one loss, look how they all turned on him and booed him out of the arena. That's what he gets for throwing respect and honor out for money and attention.
this was articulated very well… not the typical MMA fan that’s for sure💀
Well said
Nailed it there mate, good job and great comment.
I wonder how much more money he made with this character?
Well said man, PREACH 👏🏾
This man is the epitome of a stand up fighter . He’s class personified and I’m glad he destroyed Colby for what he said . He proved there’s levels to this and that he is an all around MMA champion . Wish him nothing but success for the rest of his career ❤️
This man deserves all the support from fight fans, he carries himself like a real man. Huge respect to Rocky.
He’s the same with everyone,a lovely guy
Leon is the type of guy doesn't need to make some drama or fake story for popular.
But Leon is extremely boring fighter. Colby too. Boring fighters, boring fight
That’s Shavkat
@@Nelkkidsok “Nelk kids”, thanks for letting us know
@@Nelkkidscry more 🫵😂
One headkick is worth 1000 trash talk zingers
Congrats to Leon for blocking out Colby's schtick and sticking to the game plan ✊🏾💯
@Nelkkidsgo back to watching Nelk Boys on the daily 🤡🤣
if u said leon is so boring.,atleast leon defend his belt...what colby do? try to make US great again??
such a stupid perfomance and doesnt deserve a champion fight anymore.. 🤣🤣
@@Nelkkidsyou’re saying yet Colbys highlights are nothing special either. He’s been a cardio and wrestle heavy machine aside from Usman 1 and only sells cause he uses politics to get people interested either for or against him
@@Tonymarshall11 Colby is like a empty tire at this point
@@Nelkkids Cry more colby stan, so sensitive.
I was super impressed that Leon was able to take Colby down and kinda show that he's a good grappler as well. This man is a complete fighter
Shavkat is a whole different animal though, he's got his hands full with that one
@@user-es8tt4nr2zpretty sure Belal is next. Belal beat Wonderboy 3 fights ago and hasn’t lost since, there’s also somewhat of a story between Leon and Belal.
@@Prinze203 yeah... but its belal so shavkat next 🤣
@@happytheatsz well dang can’t argue with that 😂
A complete boring fighter, u mean
I’m so happy for Leon man, what a uniform example of a pro.
The way he's handled himself, has been truly inspiring. Well done Leon.
Colby's performance was a glaring embarrassment. It seemed as though Leon was squaring off against an amateur. Colby was outmatched for four rounds, making even Nate Diaz's performance against Leon seem superior. The idiot fought solely to avoid a knockout.
Strikes landed are pretty even and Colby had 5 times more Ground Control...mma fans became delusional woke outrage hissies. He literally just said hi" and didnt disrespect his dad. Ofc Colbys fight character is a Douche but the fight could have gone either way
As bad as his performance was and Leon still didn’t land anything big
@@thomashauer6804found Colby’s burner
@@user-tx6zl1yq5ssay hi to your dad. Whats wrong about that. Why would someone get triggered by that. He didnt call his Dad the F Word or whatever. "Just say hi" and boom people lose their mind
@@thomashauer6804I totally agree with you man but you can’t say that without people picking a side for you
Looks like Leon is the one without a scratch on his face. Meanwhile, Colby is walking out of the arena with blood dripping down his face and ice packs on his knees. 😂😂😂
True Americans ride with Leon. MAGA people ride with Colby
💯
his reaction is a lot like MAGA people, he lost badly but pretended he won, just like how Trump lost to sleepy joe but pretended he won
@@Ar1AnX1x losers attract others losers that's MAGA
Who even rides the peddo brandon train
Colby certainly didn't make America proud... he actually let them down. Then thought he won the fight at the end..... lol. Sad Leon didn't get the head kick. ;)
Facts, it’s colbys fault it was ‘boring’. He wouldn’t engage Leon at all 😂😂 fighting scared all fight, it was actually mad
😂😂and Leon did fight scared?
@@JasonWilliams-um2ntno
@@JasonWilliams-um2ntseeing as he didn’t take a single step back the entire fight, I’d say no
@@JasonWilliams-um2ntAre you really blaming Leon😂😂😂
@@JasonWilliams-um2nt You are deluded. Colby was backpedaling the whole time.
Leon is more American than Colby ever will be. It's how you carry yourself. Not what you say. It's not what you think. It's not how you feel. It's WHAT YOU DO! That's an American dream! Much respect Leon
Unfortunately Colby represents America. It's all about money and this country is filled with greed.
Crazy clean face after this hard sparring Bravo Rocky 👏🏼 😁
fair play to Leon, stay composed didn't let his emotions get to him & got it done, the only danger he was ever in was when he put himself in danger going for transitions on the ground.
Colby got worked. Point Blank. Period.
Love how he's saying he didn't get touched while bleeding from the face, and dragging a mangled leg.
Absolute tool.
Loved to see MAGA experience another in a series of many loses 😂
Just like 1812, The Red Coats win again 🤣💪🇬🇧
@@RichBoiRichBoicry more 🇬🇧
@@mikeyb0121 I was rooting for Leon goofball Mikey
Leon such a legend ! He really deserves all the success he’s getting. Leon is a true role model for young kids
We could possibly be witnessing the rise of one of the greatest fighters to get inside the Octagon. Leon is only 32. His game is solid and his technique is perfect. I could see a long title reign.
Humble, classy, world class. Well done Leon your an inspiration mate 💪🏼
Леон ты просто молодец!!! Этого балтуна у которого нет ничего святого, отомстил за отца!!! Моё безмерное уважение тебе, ты воин, горой и хороший сын!!!! Я мечтаю тебя увидеть лично и обнять как сына!!! Я твоя поклонница.❤
Never gets old watching Colby talk shit then get absolutely rocked. 😂🤣😂🤣
😂
Colby ran for 4 rounds . Made Leon look like prime Tyson with the power. Would of thought Leon had bricks in his hands
That was an insane performance, not how I saw this fight would go.. he dominated and made Colby look like an amateur, he was on another level. Colby also made it easy for him to read.. I was dissapointed when Colby tried to throw punches, no set ups. Congrats from Norway 🇧🇻
Did not live up to the hype. Feed Colby to Shavkat in Miami.
This fight he wasn’t just fighting colby but he was also fighting his emotions. It was a convincing win, congratulations rock.
Leon Edwards is a legend in the making. It will take time for people to realize that they are watching an All Time Great.
At the 2 minute mark of the video it was clear that the interviewer just wanted to give Leon a hug. I commend him for representing as a true martial artist.
Absolute light work for Leon
Congrats ROCKY!!!!!!
Its awesome to see Leon showing his ground game and submission offense
What a Star 🌟 well done Leon to listening to your mum I’m so glad you won 🥇 top lad way better technical fighter
Amazing win by Leon Edwards, a true gentleman and classy champ, respect.
a class act leon and a class champion
I can't wait too see Leon back in the octagon!
leon technique is so sharp
What a guy true gent Leon is he Mam should be very proud
BIG UP LEON
GUYS TEARING ME UP MAN
WELL DONE
Mad respect Leon
Well done Leon ..Onwards and upwards
His range is amazing
Leon is a true humble champion.
I really really hope they get him to fight at least three times next year. He’s young and there’s so many fights to make in his division
Where is Stricklands post fight interview
Ez night Leon! Let’s goooo.
Congrats !
Leon is a master fighter and carries himself well in an interview. This is respectable. Running your mouth just never seems to pay off in the end.
No bs if I didn't see the upload time thought it was a pre fight interview 😅
all business
Great Champion!
Colby just cslled out wonder boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His resume feeds off old and washed fighters
Молодец, брат, из Таджикистана. 🇹🇯
People go on about Shavkat being 18-0, which is very impressive, I think the man is incredible - but you must remember one of Leon's losses was a DQ and another was a split decision he would have won with today's scoring system. Leon could very well be 25 - 1 with his only loss being avenged twice, and to the consensus second greatest welterweights of all time, Shavkat's 18-0 kind of pales in comparison, although all finishes make it a little closer.
I would favour Leon based off Shavkat having to gut-out that stand-up fight with Neal and having a tough time getting Wonderboy down. I absolutely cannot wait for the fight though!
(Honestly not that interested in the Belal rematch, I see it going how the first fight was going.)
My bad, could very well be 24 - 1.
Belal earned the shot at the title though.
Greatest welterweight*
Can't be compared. Kickbox pointfighters like Adesanya and Leon are great sportsmen.. but they also very often have boring performances. And.. being boring is hugely detrimental to a sport that thrives on short clips. That's why Leon had to wait for so long to get a titlefight. Clearly we see that match history doesn't matter much.
It’s not just the record that people are impressed it’s about the finishes😂 and did u not see the photos of him being injured only person to submit wonderboy
Well done, you taught that clown a good lesson😂🎉
A decision lesson I guess.. Colby made it fun, Leon is an excellent pointfighter.
Well done Leon!!
Proud as punch for our boy from the UK. Big up Leon 🇬🇧
She's a good interviewer, I like her.
Lmao interviewer is completely gushing over him
I think he probably beats Belal too but Shavkat is the guy who might end up beating him. Depends though on how he responds to Belals pressure and Shavkat can match up with him very well
leon is currently too good for shavkat maybe in the future
Colby was extremely cautious of the power and rightfully so. Imagine how devastating it would've been had Leon sent Colby to the shadow realm in front of Trump. He'd never be able to recover from being an eternal meme. He seemed more satisfied losing the decision than taking risks to win. His facial expression when Buffer announced the victor was obviously planned, he knew perfectly well that he lost.
There's nothing more Trumpy than publicly losing and declaring victory.
Losers love losers...
You the man rocky congrats on shutting down the clown.
Well done Leon ,see you soon B23 👍
Big up Leon
Thanks for exposing that fraud
Man pressure got on Colby. He was not even trying to land.
True champ
Bring on Shavkat and Leon! 🔥
"Nobody deserves a tile shot"
Class act. I wouldn't have minded if Leon got more mean with some slicing/cracking elbows and some oblique and side kicks to the knee on Colby.
Leon read Colby like a book. Picked him apart and outskilled him in all aspects.
Everyone got nice things to say about Leon now, where’s that same energy that you had before the fight. Colby fans gone into hiding
the Lennox Lewis of MMA cool calm & collective. would like him to be more entertaining in promoting fights but it is what it
Shavkat presents the most unique challenge
Nah
Bullied the bully, all class
Leon vs belal is fight for the ages😅😅
I wish the ufc celebrated and promoted the Leons, rather than the colbys
hope pav let leon sample the twins
Bro said your dad was in hell and you sparred him for 25 minutes. Really disappointing
McKenzie is beautiful.
Its a good win but don't gotta lie about him always fighting the same way, he was fighting like an amateur with zero pressure. Even with usman he pressured him so much. This was an embarrassment from colby
Hopefully he fights Belal next then shavkat I feel he still needs to fight someone else before a title shot maybe burns or Colby
2:32 He said exactly who Colby Covington is as a fighter.
I’m happy for Leon win fr fr but he keeps saying he out wrestled usman when he never has. If you look at all of there 3 fights between them usman definitely was more dominant
4:21
Now colby trying to get a fight with wonderboy after he lost an easy fight where he can just wrestle
For a guy who just went through a 5 round fight, Leon looks like he's barely been touched
Kolby biggest PoS ever !!!
Rocky is the greatest British MMA fighter of all time. Followed by the count Bisping at 2 and Aspinall at 3
Leon vs shavkat ayo
This is that interviewer who always looks wet for the fighters haha
BILAL next
Not a single cut on that face just a little swelling underneath the eyes but not much Big L for colby
dead or alive, but that line made 25% push to the PPV. Dana dont care
this card had so much potential and ended up being a wet fart
Ya. It was a stacked card. Then Gayrry pulled out and main card fights weren’t good.
It's always the couch warmers calling fights boring..😂
Blame Colby.
The prelims were incredible tbf
Theres literally no holes in Leons game
I believe Dana is upset Colby did not win
can Leon go an interview without saying 100% ?
Not a scratch
thought the caption was talking about him, not him talking about someone else. these Leon fights are boring give us just one more year of prime Usman please😭😭😭😭
Leon did what he was supposed to do. Stayed technical, smart, calculated & well rounded. This fight was boring because Covington was a coward & didn’t actually fight. Damn sure didn’t fight to win or do any damage whatsoever.
This is exactly what I thought, Colby throws a sloppy 1-2, ducks then a head kick, or shoots. Literally every fight
Jamaika wins right!😊
Not a great fight but he made a fan tonight as a good role model.the ufc is in need of that cuz they push the guys who act badly
