John Anik cemented himself in history when he checked Joe with the "but that is not the cloth from which he is cut." GOOSEBUMPS
Agreed his timing of the line was so perfect
Facts
Fr man!
Jesus Christ Loves you all so much ❤ Turn to Him while you can , He can help you all with anything nothing is impossible for Him ❤ You are all Loved eternally ❤❤ Amen and Amen
whats crazy is that he knocked him out and didnt even bother attacking him, he knew he was out and thats just crazy
Jon Anik's call right before the knockout is legendary, Joe and DC were counting him out but Jon believed in strap season.
Facts… and it’s crazy cause Rogan and DC say all the time it’s not over till the last bell… like there has been some crazy come backs and out of all people they should know it’s never over till it’s over…and Jon anik saw that what a legend
Strap season has me geeking🔥
Strap Season Baby! 😅
That's why John Anik is legend and Joe should layoff weed and DC should hit the gym.
@@coltonmurphy8749I mean, back then it really looked like usman was coasting to another decision win
I could see this legendary kick 1,000,000 more times. So Beautiful.
Mee too brother
Lame👋🏼
@@mikeyrandom13 cry some more 😂
HEADSHOT DEAD 💀💥
I love how when he is being interviewed by Joe he goes to lift up the belt to say champion of the world but as he does he knocks Joe but even the moment says "sorry Joe" quality human being! 👌
@@beaualoevv dude commenting hate with anything to do with leon. Seen you across multiple channels, please find something to channel this energy into you'll be great if you do.
Love from Brazil man! Leon champs!
Jesus Christ Loves you all so much ❤ Turn to Him while you can , He can help you all with anything nothing is impossible for Him ❤ You are all Loved eternally ❤❤ Amen and Amen
Best headkick in UFC history. Absolutely surgical.
Gonzaga vs Cro Cop
@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381no
Chandler v Ferguson
Most iconic would be a better way to describe it. This one will never be forgotten.
My mom vs me for coming home after curfew! Surgical precision!
"I was born in Jamaica in a wooden shack....look at me now" that was so deep man. So proud of Leon. He proved everybody wrong, including me.
“He may have resigned himself to losing”
*Knocks out Usman a second later*
Also I usually hate Anik with the burning passion of 10000 sun's but that was perfect timing "that is not the cloth from which he is cut".
@@beaualoevv its coming home
@@beaualoevv lol salty much, lil' fella?
He already rag-dolled and nearly submitted Marty Snoozeman in round 1. Sent the nigerian napper to lala land for the perfect finish. He'll do so again. 😎
@@siriusfun people always call fluke when their favorite fighter loses lol
@@beaualoevv Dont let him KNOCK YOU TF OUT SON Keep crying ISLAM and LEON ARE YOUR KINGS
His corner is something else. His trainer pulling him out of the dark place and the other guy yelling at him mid round 'cross-head kick'
And Jon anik comment was ON POINT
Leon Edward not even trying for a follow up ground shots goes on to show how sure he was with the sniper head kick.
Ngannou would've smashed their lifeless corpse till the ref pulled him off.
@@JakeGittes84wtf does ngannou gotta do with a welterweight fight😭
@@darrianholland9030he’s not wrong though 😂
Ngannou tries to win the rematch by preventing it from happening through murder.
the amount of times I’ve seen this KO on repeat, such a beautiful kick, goosebumps everytime
His coach said "you gotta pull this out of a fire"... He sure did.
"Well come on then! What is wrong with you? YOU HAVE GOT TO PULL YOURSELf OUT OF THE FIRE!" Straight Rocky style man goosebumps
“DONT LET HIM BULLY YOU SON!” 🤣
he doesnt know what he talking bout!!!
DONT LET HIM KNOCK YOU TF OUT SON 🤣
@@beaualoevv he’s done more than you could ever dream of soft lad 😉
@@beaualoevv BOW DOWN TO CHAMPION KINGS ISLAM AND LEON AND KEEP CRYING
@@beaualoevv Lightweight glass leg rat 🤣🤣🤣
Jon anik screaming “NO WAY” as the camera focuses on usman who is out cold with his eyes open has to be one of the most shocking moments in mma history
"Don't let him bully ya Rock, don't let him bully ya!" 🤣
4mins later head shot dead..
Usman is corny
i'd bully him
And still!!!!
Ok Luke "The Virgin" Murray
Most emotional first time belt in a while
“look at me now” ❤
Everything bout this fight has become so legendary 🔥🔥
From Jon Anik's "not the cloth which he is cut from" to Dave's "dont let him bully you son and "what is wrong with you Leon" to Leon's actual "Look at me now"
And the headkick is not too shabby as well 😁
Jon Anik is a legend.
Why? You didn’t hear what he actually said did you lol. He was about to say that is rejected Leon.
Win lose or draw this Saturday, Edwards proved he is a champion, and showed you’re never out of a fight. What a great guy, what a story. Here’s to hoping he pulls out another W.
Where’s all the usman fans at ?
@@planetarybeat473 I think they jumped onto the Colby bandwagon.
I said it twice he would win. Made big money twice aswell
His story is movie worthy 💯
His nickname is Rocky as well lol
This is one of the best moments in sports history. I'm glad I got to see it live.
One of the best comeback ever. It shows heart and drive to never give up.
Damn. Lightning strikes twice. Can't believe I missed it, congrats champ!
This headkick is forever cemented as the best headkick KO in ufc history.
No. That’s still the Terry Etem knockout.
LETS GO LEON
Thank you for putting the highlight at the start of the video! 💪
I just love how he started celebrating and walking away well before Herb even got there like "yeah he's out for sure". Most fighters would still pounce and hammer as they're trained to do.
Best head kick ever .
Imagining placing a bet for Leon KO right when the 5th rd started 😂😂
The sound of that kick was absolutely brutal
I can’t stop coming back to this fight and that moment. What a call, what a headshot. The Rocky nickname fits Leon and this fight perfectly
I love seeing Leon's brother rush tje cage and hug him.
And getting caught on the fence!
This is why Leon Edwards’s has the best physique in the universe
One of the great moments in sports history and one I'll never forget seeing live.
I will never ever forget this fight.
It was 6am in the morning in Europe and Edwards had a great first round, but got outclassed by Usman the rest of the fight until this fcking Headkick...
To this day, I never watched something with a suprise level like that again
its also amazing how Usman is standing around as if hes not still knocked out, all he remembers is waking up in the ambulance, bros essentially sleep walking
Yeah kinda scary he looked hella confused and was prob wondering wtf just happened
yea doesn't even look like he's there, just gazing around@@ItsBlizz
From the "Stop feeling sorry for your fucking self" to the "but that is not the cloth from which he is cut at all" this moment was mindblowing.
LOOK AT ME NOW!
U early
@@AhmetTKD actually first cant wait man, cant wait no more
I will look at him in less than 48 hours when his fame is over lmao. 😂
@@whiterabbit8243 salty marty lost again?
So happy for Leon Edwards, such a humble, respectful guy, what a stunning KO! The journey Leon had to get a title shot + the way he won, legendary 👏👏👏🦵
One of the best title wins in recent memory!
Gave me the chills.. one of the best comebacks of not the best and one of the most satisfying kos in ufc history this night he cemented his name in ufc history and produced a highlight KO that will stand the test of time… a real life rocky story…how fitting
@@coltonmurphy8749100% man, iconic
LOOK AT HIM NOW!!! TRULY INSPIRATIONAL STUFF
This happend at about 1215AM on my 37th Birthday. (Aug. 21st/22) Thank you for the birthday present Leon! One of the greatest moments in UFC history. What a walk-off homerun shot!
At this point it's gotta be the most watched/ uploaded ufc knockout in history.
Jeff Molina has the best head movement
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
That is according to his boyfriend. Maybe a bias source 🤣
@@lukemurray4950 😂😂😂
Top 3 KO's of all time for sure!
Greatest knockout in history of UFC for sure
you gotta understand how huge this moment is, he was losing the entire fight and knocked out the p4p best fighter in the world in the final round
Sweet sleep!😅 Congratulations, champion!💪💥
everytime i see this i get goosebumps!
Much respect to these men 💯👊🏾
His coach really bring him into the game.😮
Having a prople who believes in you can bring a 0 morale - 100.
I knew Leon would win by head kick in london !!!!!!😮
tony screaming in the top left behind joes reactions lmao
Interesting to see how Usman bounces back from that devastating KO loss to Leon in this rematch. I feel like once Leon fails to pull off another finish, Usman's most likely gonna win the fight by decision and regain the title.
uh oh…
Nah the altitude wasn’t a factor this time around Leon picked him apart
Who’s here after Gaithje knocked Porier with the same kick
😂😂
The same technique used by gaetje to porier. So effective
Best moment in UFC history.
Leon a welterweight legend!!
This was like a fighting scene in a movie the last second and wins incredible moment one of the best ufc finishes I’ve seen I mean come on Leon was losing the whole fight and he connects with a good head kick to end it
Herb Dean said “ oh sh*t ! 🏃🏾♂️“
4:07 Gotta love Trevor Whitman. His champion just got knocked out for the first time, but he's loving seeing Leon have his moment.
see? Anik saying that is a ‘dejected’ version and BOOM!!! headkick!!!
goosebumps
And that's why he has the most aesthetic physique in the galaxy
exactly
I love watching dc and joe durring kos.
That corner speech it’s as important as the KO
3:38 Lmao the guy with crutches just standing up
Good spot hilarious 😂
You can need crutches to walk a distance but be able to stand fine. 70 iq
I’ve watched this so many times
Fuck me that kick never gets old.
I had a long day & I was laying in bed watching this fight. I fell asleep during the 2nd round. I can only imagine how it must’ve been witnessing this live
I remember being in the LR with my dad and cousins. Soon as usman fell my cousin literally ran out the living room in disbelief. My jaw was on the floor
Just a wide mouth open moment, it was so crazy to see!
He for a second
"What?!?! Again???"
As soon as Edwards faints a left low kick and Usman has no reaction to it, he instantly knows that the belt is right there for the taking. And camoflages the left kick with a nice jab to bait Usman out to dip his head and BOOM , blasts that left kick.
That kick must have done some serious damage. I bet Usman was feeling that for a long time.
what a setup
This is why Leon edwards has the most athletic physique
He does this all the time in training. His teammates know him best. Which is why he’s called Rocky.
Salt Lake City got a HELL of a moment. You just never know how a fight will play out. I'm sure they thought it was going to a decision. Imagine the person with tickets that at the last minute stayed home, or left the fight early.
seeing shit like this makes me so fucking happy. let's goo.
Leon for another shock win
haha. What I need to go to work today, and I'm off tomorrow!
I really don’t understand how people count him out so quick against Colby. He made an insane comeback in a fight he was losing by kicking one of the most dominant champions in history so hard, he had a thousand yard stare in his eyes. Then after that, comes back and dominates in the rematch to prove he’s the better fighter. It’s understandable that Colby is a scary matchup for any welterweight, but Leon has been looking absolutely spectacular since he’s joined the UFC. I don’t think the Colby fight is as bad of a matchup as people think. Leon’s definitely a better striker, his work in the clinch is very methodical and well thought out, and on top of that, his defensive wrestling had only been getter better and better. Colby doesn’t even deserve a title shot in the first place, but either way it’ll be a pretty even fight..
I think Leon is definitely the better striker, plus I fucking hate Colby. I really hope he whoops that ass. I think if Leon keeps it standing though, he's gonna put on a clinic. I see Colby diving for legs after he gets his face broken a second time.
@@mrmatches0619Here after Leon dismantled Colby
Pretty even. Leon dominated on the feet and even dominated on the ground.
That was real rocky movie in real life
Can UFC turn the music up so I can hear it more
ROCKY!! ROCKY!! ROCKY!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Defending a fighter down 3.8 - 1 rounds with a minute to go is legendary
Best momets 2022
Joe's eyes are going to Pop out....
Love never Fails 💖
i still remember the rush of seeing Usman fall to the ground. it felt like a dream.
Seeing Leon’s movement from the 2nd to 3rd fight really does show how bad elevation can fuck fighters up. The ufc should never do events at places with high elevation again
I really thought I missed the event and that he had done it again :p
Straight outta Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Perfectly timed comment from John Anik “that is not the cloth from which he is cut” - BOOM headshot dead
Joe giving credit to Jon cemented it. Greatest ufc call ever.
Hell of a war!!!
The real life Rocky story.
Come on Rock!
he did the Connor walk 😭😭
This was the best holy shit moments ever until Max Holloway dropped Gaethje
I regret not watching the rest of round 5 because leon looking like he really gave up and just waiting for the clock to run out, and then 2 minutes later I saw comments and posts that leon koed usman, and went back to see leon doing that billi strut
I would’ve never let myself down for missing that 😂
