No matter what happens in Leon's career after this, he will forever be a legend for this.
Usman is so fake and boring , thank you Leon 🥳🥳🥳
At this point let's just call everyone a legend
Word up. Couldn’t imagine how pumped they are back in london . Wow
@DG nine
Exactly!!!
No more decision wins.
No more Movies
No more Running.
No more lying saying he lapped the division 3 times.
Sweet dreams Usman 😴
usman isnt on gsp level never compare bum usman and khabib never avoided aldo did you see merab dominating aldo that is sad for aldo fan clowns soon olivera fans clowns will get exposed by machakev
“ I was born in Jamaica with nothing, I lived in a wooden shed with a zinc roof. Look at me now I’m world champion.”
Absolutely incredible words from the humble champ.

Thanks for the translation, it was needed
Zinc roof 💀💀💀
@@BidoMaggot zinc is a metal
@@cachifli870 no need to even reply to them lol let them have their opinion 😂😂
Every now and again I come back to this interview and find motivation. What a story. What a finish.
I swear bro this the best post fight interview ever‼️
Loook at me NOOOWW!!
Same
Same!
Dame brother. I told you NOW LOOK AT ME NOW I TOLD YOU
This is still my favorite post-fight interview of all time and there is no close second. LOOK AT ME NOWWWW!
i am here after 1 minute of this comment after 9 months
Who asked
Same 😁
Head shot dead
Headshot.dead
"Headshot. Bang. Done".
"They all said I couldn't do it but look at me now!"
"P4P? Headshot. Dead. Thats it."
"I've been down my whole life"
"The belt belongs to no one"
Everything this guy said was a fuckin legendary quote
He did said, "Pound for Pound" "Head shot" "Dead" in Jamaican terms all of that is meant to be in one quotation.
He did reference pound for pound a few times in the interview, including "Pound for Pound, what"
The whole interview was epic.
The belt belongs to no one is so cold
@@buzz5020 yeah at first I was like “uhh nah man it belongs to you” 😂 but when he explained in the post fight press 🥶🥶 ice cold
“Doesn’t matter from the trenches”
"Thank you Dana, thank you to the UFC for giving the kid that was born with nothing, the opportunity to be something"
I love that one
“There is no pound for pound, the belt belongs to nobody” man, chills.
Hardest quote after taking someone’s belt
Every single thing he said after winning the belt was just legendary man. What a moment
to whomever is reading this, wishing you the best possible day/night -- remember, what we think, we become! Be deliberate with what you think about
As a poet, I appreciate his energy
bruv the uk are takin over...leon is top g top striker.trigger don
3 months later this still guve me goosebumps. P4P. Headshot. Dead.
There is something about the line that is so truly fantastic. Also, I think Edwards' voice accentuates it so well. Maybe it's just the gamer nerd in me. 🤷
It gives me almost tears, great dose of motivation
Ahahah same bro
That's it
“You all doubted me!!!” Its truly chilling!
This is the greatest post fight interview ever.
100%
up there with Nate Diaz for me
It's definitely up there but can't beat Conor's double champ speech
@@exuuuuuuu This is ten times better then the conor post fight. Because Leon is actually humble and speaks the truth. The belt really does belong to no one
@@exuuuuuuuconor has good post fight interviews but this one really hit home. maybe for irish people it's different but he was pretty much just praising himself lol leon actually had a message and it was real
“I told you I’d do it for you mom I told you I would change our lives and look at me now” nothing but respect for Leon best comeback win ever
Boo. Boo this man. One and done champ

i like the way he said "OOO0000OOhh.. 000OOOOOHHhh"
I want that shirt!
What got me was the second "Look at me"
Chills!
3:13 such a small detail, but the fact that Leon amidst all that euphoria apologized to Joe speaks a lot about the type of guy he is.
💯 %
wonderful observation
Amazing observation, someone feeling on top would have brushed off anyone in the moment but he has the presence of mind. I love that.
absolutely 💯
Hit Joe with the belt ...Immediately took accountability
‘The belt belongs to no-one’
Never has there been a truer statement. Completely dismantling certain ideas that any one person is invincible, no matter how good they are. Just solely down to which fighter gets the better of the other when the gloves are on. THATS what fighting is about.
Na that belt belonged to khabib lmaoo he steamrolled everybody then chose when to give it up😂

@@dnguyen3941 Bro Edwards could finish him in the 1st when he was on the back of Usman but he is not a great grappler . Doubt him but you should go wake up Usman before thinking of a possible trilogy
@@dnguyen3941 why try to predict the future? No one can predict it, just enjoy the present. This finna be the best UFC NFT!
Brandon Moreno. Charles Oliveira. Leon Edwards. When those three fighters first got their hands on UFC gold, they made me feel it like no other, post-fight. The JOY. The overwhelming feelings of witnessing their years of hard work and sacrifice paying off. For their families, teams, countries, hometowns. The trenches. The favelas. The barrios. Brandon collapsing. Charles running around for joy, getting blood on the boss! But this one holds a special place. Leon, you're a legend forever and an inspiration. This speech will never not strike a chord with me. The rawest shit ever man. "LOOK AT ME NOW!!"
Exactly what you said🤝🏾
The second time Thug Rose got the belt brought me the same kind of feeling
P4P HEADSHOT DEAD. 🐐
🎯🎯🎯
That’s it.
One of the best post fight speeches that just repeats in your head, “look at me now! Pound for pound! Bang! Headshot, dead!”
This man suffered from poverty and homelessness..His father was killed in front of his eyes.. And that didn't stop him from pursuing his dream..leon edwards is a man Inside the cage and outside the cage.. Respect 🖤
A true Rocky Moment.

This the most genuine speech of gratitude ever. You can just tell how much work he put in for this. Huge congrats to an instant legend.
just amazing to see that afri can mus lim supremacist get ktfout
@Far Hat lmao keep on hating on Leon, there are no flukes in Martial arts. He threw that shot to kill and he did. Just be happy you get to see a third fight
@Far Hat Marty clearly lost the first round so your whole post is invalid
@Far Hat usman was making 6 fauls its called justice
@Far Hat he actually setup the shot perfect. Leon shot a fient which Usman bought into then boom head kick. Great finish.
I still come back to this after their 3rd fight. The only post fight interview that ever made me cry. I was always rooting for Leon
This one and pantoja's also
Fuck dude yeah this shits got me shedding tears
Yea man me too...
“I was doubted my whole life, look at me now.”
We all got chills with that post fight interview from Leon!! Look at me now!!
The best cook on CZcams watches UFC !? Well of course look at his combat skills against his fridge !!
Yeah same !!!!
Same bro
Gotta give the fridge a high kick after that one.
So much chills in chilling 😎 that man deserves it! Coming from the trenches 💪🏼
"there is no pound for pound, the belt belongs to no one" 🥶 cold af
realest sh*t ever 🤣🔥
Spoken like a true champion. I was impressed when he said that.
He was wrong cus the belt belongs to him can't see anyone beating him but khamzat and shav are 2 dangerous fighters but us brummie stick together
@@stephenbutler6819Leon prolly could beat both of them. If he survives the first round with khamzat it’s over for khamzat😂 Shavkats the only dude I see beating Leon but even he’s kinda beatable. He leaves his chin out and doesn’t really move his head

The corner speech. The finish. The post speech.

Better than anything Colby’s ever scripted lol

Made yer look
Best post fight interview of all time, no doubt. That "I was born in Jamaica with nothing, i lived in a wooden shed zinc roof, look at me now" gets me all the time. So inspirational man.. Doesn't matter if Leon loses against Usman at the trilogy, this one is for the books.

@@northernwolf3275 it's just a comment chill bro
One of the most genuine and emotional reactions to winning a title I’ve ever seen, so happy for this bloke.
I mean i understand his genuine reaction, imagine dominating the whole fight againts diaz just to be disrespected because a 5 seconds stunned just because he’s not a fan favorite, im glad that hes winning
Charles Oliveira reaction after winning a title is something else
Agreed. He's a good chap
Definitely a fluke but hes champ now…Either usman getting it back in blood or this sets up khamzat taking the belt
He's from the trenches that's how you react
I almost cried when he said I told you I'd do it for you mum I told you I'll change our lives🥺
when his voice cracks at the “look at me now” part at 1:47 almost gets me everytime. You could just feel all the heartbreak and adversity he had to go through to get there. There is no greatness without pain and suffering
"I've been down me whole life, now look at me now." That gets me every time. Brings tears to my eyes.

For real!
Best comment!
"That's 10 fights in a row now"
"Pound for pound, headshot, DEAD, that's it." The greatest line to ever be said in a post fight interview.
Hope Usman felt every bit of embarrassment he deserved. Puffing his chest out to Leon and following him after the rounds were over trying to intimidate him. Seen how that ended for him

@@D_2387 yes yes yes
1 year later and this is still the most raw post interview ever.
I'm not even English or not a big fan of Leon, but this speech almost made me tear up. Amazing fighter.
The fact that his name is 'Rocky', and how the films his name is based on are about a man coming from nothing, training hard, being down, then pulling it out spectacularly at the end. It's actually so so poetic. Beautiful life poetry. The universe aligning. This is like a moment in combat sports history that was meant to happen.
What you doing on here top g? Shouldnt you be some where driving you boogga-eee?
You realize that’s why his nick name is rocky right
@@newera2157 you completely missed the point of my comment...
@@newera2157 His nickname could have been Rocky and he could have lost, the point is that he won. Just like Rocky.
@@newera2157 idk what you're implying here but he was already called rocky before the title fight. Rocky was always his nickname and he eventually lived up to it. That's the poetry of it.

It was Great!
Ive been high on this speech all week!

This whole interview top to bottom is pure emotion and passion. “bang headshot done” “I can’t put it to words” “I come from the trenches im built for this” “they all doubted me look at me now” “p4p what? The belt belongs to nobody” to the beautiful shout out to his mother. What a fucking interview with pure raw emotion and motivation. A moment for the ages
I create entertaining videos as well 🤠

@@Chino56751 He may be holding the belt but it belongs to the UFC
_"They all said I couldn't do it....LOOK AT ME NOW!"_
One of the things that makes this so great is that Leon is always so reserved in every interview. To see him express himself with pure emotion after a from behind victory, against the danger that is Usman. Wow. Leon deserves every bit of his victory lap. Can't wait to see him and Bisping talk about this moment. It's become my favorite post fight interview ever.
Thats It, we can feel how moved and ecstatic he is, and we can hear the pain in his voice. Man, to prove everyone wrong in the big stage like that - including myself. What an awesome, magnificient feeling. All respect to the champ, I was a fan of his inside the cage now I will always root for him
Mine as well! We see you Leon!
That interview with Luke Rockhold the fight just prior to this is legendary too.
yea he almost doesnt know what to do, hes just so humble and to see him let it all out and repeating "look at me now" gave me goosebumps... well deserved. Started from the bottom now hes at the peak of his life.
Mine too. Electric ⚡️!
Goosebumps. What he accomplished in that octagon that night, something we will never be able to fully comprehend.
We all cried, laughed and cheered with Leon. Let me tell you, as another Caribbean boy that moved to England when i was 2 year old, this meant even more. You had the whole Caribbean, the whole UK and lots of the world with you Leon. The funny ting was they was all cheering Usman, Usman at start. But at the end, was all Rocky, Rocky chants. You switched a whole arena, a whole crowd over to you my lad. The greatest UFC moment for so many of us. When i sae that kick land and Usman just go dead mode, I was still waiting for some f@ckeries to happen. When it sank in, I was in tears for real!! Met Rocky many time in London and near Wolves and man is proper down to earth. No one more deserving in my book!!

HEADSHOT, DEAD!
Footrrepsaio
Hands down most inspirational post fight interview in UFC history. The raw emotion and head kick that was heard around the world.
So happy for Leon. I predicted he gone win and it had to be by knockout. Didn't look good for him but glad he executed 1 of his game plan. I hated that fighters acted like they the best but still avoided him and as a pure mma fan I hated that Jorge and Colby talked so much shit without backing it up. Now they can't duck him. Hope he wins the rematch so he can beat all those guys plus give nate and Bilal a rematch and establish himself as on of the greatest
to whomever is reading this, wishing you the best possible day/night -- remember, what we think, we become! Be deliberate with what you think about
Here after his second win and it feels even better 🤩🤩
That “look at me now” was his childhood spirit roaring to the world that faith is self and God pays off🦍🌍
My favourite UFC moment ever. Leon is a softly spoken guy who finally let his emotions out when he won. I love the way he gives the whole interview looking into the camera & I think that’s one of the reasons this interview connects with so many people, but that’s only one of the reasons, as there’s many more. Leon seems like a great role model and proof that if you have a goal and work hard it’s possible to better yourself. “LOOK AT ME NOW!!!”. Peace x
While he has achieved is extraordinary, but he remains an entertainer nothing more nothing less, he is not a role model and role models should never be entertainers, but great thinkers, society helpers, scientists and doctors.
@@mamindhive he’s not a role model? So people from all around the world who face setbacks can’t learn a thing from him?
Just because he’s not a role model for his intelligence doesn’t mean people can’t learn from his character.

and he really committed to it too it was not some lazy half assed attempt it was full force.
@Snipes Usmans never gonna be the same

This interview made me tear up!!! 😮💨😮💨😮💨If you came from the mud, had nothing, started in the trenches…..this inspiring interview is for us!! 💯💯💯
This has got to be the best anybody has ever felt winning a world title.
I teared up and got chills when he gave his speech. The Underdog is now the Top Dog. Congrats Rocky!
Ehh.. betas are ruining it
“Hate it or love it, the underdog’s on top”
Same here! That “I did it mom” shit hit me hard man…..
The I did it mom I told you I’d change your life moment was amazing. Legitimately bone chillingly raw. Leon needed to show this side of him to the world and now we all know who he really is. Man I’m a huge fan after the way he handled the win last night
REMATCH!? FOOK YOU, PAY ME!
“The belt belongs to no one.” True words from a true athlete. Well done! We’re 👀 looking at you now sir
My favorite moment
It belongs to HIM now

Life imitates art far more than art imitates life - Oscar Wilde
"Pound for pound what"
"the belt belongs to no one"
His raw emotion made me tear up especially when he said his been doubted his whole life. Look at me now will be forever inspiring and quoted in ufc history Well done champ. 💥👊🏽🇬🇧
Same here man. after all that
Fr💯
The best octagon interview I think I've ever seen man it still gives me chills 6 months later 💯
This is my favourite post fight interview
One of most authentic, most powerful, most inspiring post fight speeches in history. Can't wait to to see all the motivational videos made from this.
💯👑
definitely
🌙🌑
POUND FOR POUND HEADSHOT DEAD.
lol u guys say this after every event
This was without a doubt my all time facourite UFC moment. Leon's had the absolute worst luck over the years and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. So glad he proved everyone who said he couldn't do it wrong. He found the perfect words in the moment for this interview. Heartfelt and truly inspirational.
I’m happy he got a large pop
and I watched gsp beat bisping..silva.. dc vs jones… both mcgregors and khabib’s reigns…. But NOTHING compared to what I felt that night it still doesn’t feel like real life. My personal favourite moment ever and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life… on the level of buster vs Tyson
@@yungchef1159 glad I'm not alone! Reading your comment got me hyped all over again... Thanks for that 💪
Couldn't agree more chills
It wasn't your all time. It was "THE" all time best
I literally get so much motivation from this speech. I come here monthly just to remind myself the type of belief one needs in himself to push though the wall of doubt people cast on you.
Thank you, Leon.
This has to be #1, if not then top 3 for sure post fight/game speeches of all time. Shiii gives me goosebumps. You can feel Leons emotions through the damn phone. You deserve the belt and more champ 🏆 💪 Much love from Texas!
“I COME FROM THE TRENCHES, IM BUILT LIKE THIS”
this gave me goosebumps when I watched it live.
you not the only one man. insane!
💯💯💯 bro
When he said “I told you I’d do it mom, I’ve changed our lives” Broooooooo
“You all doubted me, said I couldn’t do it! The odds said I couldn’t do it ! LOOK AT ME NOW!!! LIVING IT ” Gives me chills . So happy for you Leon, your time to shine brother ✨
I guess in the second sentence he said "The ODDS Said I couldn't do it"...
I create entertaining videos as well
I think he actually said “the odds said I couldn’t do it” and instead of leveling he said “living it”
Living it :)
@@godlovestetonyour right thanks for the correction . Still hard 😂
Trevor whittman is such a good dude. genuinely smiling behind leon happy for him and his moment. always just happy for the fighters.
Is this the best post fight interview displayed with emotions ever in history?
Quite possibly the most emotional and heartfelt post fight interview. He’s from the trenches, they all doubted him, LOOK AT HIM NOW!!!!
He’s from Birmingham
@@Dadaadad268 yeah, the trenches of society lol
@@Gematrinator "trenches of society" like Birmingham a modern multicultural city/society? Is that what "trenches" means?
ya ill use this video when ever i feel down lol
@@five-eyes666 there’s gonna be low income areas in every big city so trenches is accurate
"I've been doubted my whole life. Look at me now." That shit had me choked up. He meant that shit with his whole heart.
he said doubted
@@shedberry oh lol had to go listen again. I misheard the first time. The subtitles didn't help much cause it said "dying my whole life." 🤦
haha that brummy accent is a hard one to decipher sometimes
@@shedberry haha for sure
So happy for the guy couldn't have a more deserving champ other than him and du Bronx
This is the best post fight interview ever!
It’s almost like a morning song for me.
This is so inspiring to me, I come back to it every now and then and it never fails to get me going!
One of the most legendary post fight interviews for Leon
“Headshot dead that’s it”
“Look at me now! Look at me now!”
Legendary chills
Also must’ve been amazing to see his friends and team all the way from England watching 👑
headshot dead was cold
When he said "the belt belongs to nobody" was cold too
“There is no pfp”
“The belt belong to nobody”
For such a reserved person in such an emotional moment he nailed literally everything he said on the mic lol
By far my favorite post fight speech
One of the most legendary post fight interviews period. Every line out of Leon’s mouth was pure gold
P4P WHAT!
This interview almost brought me to tears. His raw emotion is nothing short of inspirational. This makes me want to go out and conquer the world. Thank you Leon Edwards. Thank you.
I was so Stoked in Juiceman getting his karma. Mfer was cheating through out the fight
