My condolences to Colby Covington's father. I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a son, for Leon Edwards is now Colby's new daddy.
🤣brutal
I’m not ashamed to ask if I can steal that comment my good sir🤣
Hmmm i wouldnt say that it was clear leon won but it wanst dominant win especially when the ending of the fight is colby is on top of him
Indian fighters could take Leon down. he isnt good and neither is any uk/english fighters
Jaja yes well said
"He's a great competitor but a dirty human being" Damn. Best beat down of the night in those words.
Facts
Americans@@imhotep6116
Calling Colby a dirty human being for words must mean he hates his pos father, dealing drugs, increasing gang violence, pulling kids into gang life and ruining his community, let's talk about dirty human beings! What does Colby do besides say words?
@@scottwall8419cry more racist, it won’t change the fact that colby lost 😂😂😂😂😂
@@scottwall8419 - holy shit, bro, chill on the racism.
The fact Leon turns around to tell his coach to calm down at 1.30 tells you all you need to know. Leon doesn’t do trashtalk. He is not a fan of bullying. Leon is a true humble champion. What an inspiration!
His backstage session with Masvidal tells otherwise
@@orangecyans5651He litterally only said shut up
@@orangecyans5651wtf u talking abt?
He might not be a fan of bullying but sure a fan of getting bullied
Leon is just that hard person to take out his not aggressive his a more defensive player and smart all three bouts with Usman he was always on defensive mode, he can eat blows and not submit same as Usyk tactical players
Well done to Leon's mum for raising a champion resilient enough to deal with all that he has but not to cold to deny his own tears.
Exactly. He’s well balanced.
Gotta respect Leon. Admitting he cried because of the emotions. Still came out and look as sharp as ever
Champ spirit right there🔥💯
There's nothing respectable about bringing up his dirty past all the time and playing the victim
where's your boy now? Colby coward leon true champion ❤
Blood, sweat, and tears are the concoction for greatness.
@@gotyoumad6828 brother, i bet on Leon. Tf you mean😂
At this point I don’t see how you couldn’t like Leon. He’s a straight forward guy, no extra BS. Just puts his head down, stays out the way and trains.
Exactly, I like Covington bc he’s a decent fighter but I don’t like all the extra maga trash talk bs. I like trump but he just uses trump as a costume. It was so low to talk about his father that way. I lost a lot of respect for Covington. I’m not against trash talk but just don’t go after family, especially the one whose passed.
@@emekao502yessir
He should be top 2 p4p now with Islam Makhachev. The best 2 fighters in current UFC
@@kpcartmaybe, I’m torn between Leon and Alex
he's british tho
As a American it disgusting me how many people rooted for Colby after what he said about he’s dad that got murdered at the end of the Good defeats evil your dad is really proud of you Leon congrats
That's how messed the country is
@katana_3558 the world,but one day this shyt will end ...
get over it. they're literally getting in a cage to get in a fight that could lead to death
His dad was a murderer his dad died the same way he murdered others
@@vargvikernesssknife7443and Leon murdered Colby's ass. 😂
Leon Edwards = the true definition of a humble Champion. My condolences to him and his family on the death of his father.
Yeah man! Even if his Father was a bad Person which I absolutely don't know! You just don't bring up Family in a Fight build up!
Leon is a really upstanding man , he wanted to shake hands with Colby even after what he said but his coach stopped him.
I have a newfound respect for him.
Lol na he didn’t trust me
Id rather say he was thinking of sucker punching him but he wasnt fully comitted to it.. either way colby is a piece of shit for talking about his dad imo
Lol yeah let's all forget about all the murders Leons gang leader dad was linked too after all leon do punch good.
Fr and I still cant believe after his comment about Leons das the Fans atarted screaming USA
This fight was sooo underwhelming and strange and bad wtf man I was like dude they are barely landing punches and wtf is Colby doing??? Being on the back foot the entire time, did absolutely nothing it was so weird I got why Leon fought how he fought he was smart pressuring Colby and he didnt even need to do much and Leons literally a better grappler than Colby is😂😂😂😂
Tf? What has Leon to do with his dads life choice? Get a life lil bro@@ilikepeanuts7396
Leon almost crying about his dad hits u in the feels
His dad was a criminal
@@user-um4zg4xs9odoesn't matter. It's still his dad. You say that as if everyone else's parents or family is perfect. Everyone got family problems or history that they aren't proud of and sometimes our family members may have done shit we just don't know about. Either way, it's no one's place to say shit like that about family members especially dead ones.
@user-um4zg4xs9o doesn't matter to these people. They don't even think about the people's lives his dad ruined with drugs etc.
@@infamouscheesecake2232 You're not very smart are you?
@@brandonevans6991 right but his dad ruined other peoples lives with his actions unforgivable
Major respect to Leon, his personal life was laid bare for the world to see by Colby, and he not only kept his emotions in check, he went out and dominated. Thats what champions do.
Belal will destroy him
@@thomascoates309😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 belel quit
Leon. True champ. Even mid interview with Rogan hears his team mouth off to Colby’s team and stops mid sentence to tell them to chill and back off. Fuckin legend right there and class act all the way. No worries bro, you made your father proud. Your daddy’s looking DOWN on you with pride. All of the UFC fans are proud of you too, champ.
What an exceptional champion-displaying resilience, emotional composure, and the intelligence to speak highly of Colby as a fighter, despite what he said about his father. Truly embodying champion qualities both in and out of the cage.
Well said
Glad someone said it
even checked his coach
The fact that Leon grappled one of the best wrestlers and even trying to submit and arm bar him shows that he's not afraid to try to beat his opponents at their own game. Leon's ground game and takedown defense has improved a lot.
lol
Respect to Leon for not being afraid to talk about his emotions
Fr, a lot of fans of this sport still love to perpetuate the macho BS with literally anything. They don’t understand it takes a real man to talk about this stuff.
@@marauder_-soyboy
Nothing respectable about playing the victim
@@Sleeepy23 being heartless doesn’t make you cool
@@Sleeepy23nothing respectable about getting your ass beat and acting like you won lol
One man operating off of insecurity, knowing he had to stoop as low as talking about his opponents dead father. The other, in touch and in control of his emotions keeping his head throughout. A true champion. Only just getting into UFC and a big fan of Leon’s already
Leon’s dad got headshot DEAD
Awakenbeerus and his involvement in rigging matches isnt worth the discussion. Lets celebrate the true sportsmanship and talent that exists in the game, rather than dwelling on the negative.
How tf does these bots get this many likes?
@shababchy bots like bots and sub to bots. Crazy system eh. Have you seen those comment threads where bots are talking to eachother advertising a scam?😂

Respect to Leon for how he handled this. Great performance by brethren. A true badman.
Damn right!

Nah this card sucked and this was another boring af fight, they both lost in my eyes
There were so many finishes and bangers
BODMON
Leon is the definition of a champion, to be humble even after what was said... real champ
decision machine
This whole card was boring and hes the definition of boring, literally worst card i have ever watched

@@JesusChristSaves.Who the hell even is awaken beerus😂 that anime character from Dragon ball?
„He‘s a great competitor but a dirty human being“ sums it up pretty much. Congrats to Leon. What a class act.
Belal better. He will win. BELAL
Good man Leon. Even all the American fans in attendance were applauding Leon and booing Colby. To talk smack about the man's murdered father is disgusting and everyone recognises that. Now Colby ended up just like his former best friend Jorge.. A has been journeyman, with the fans against him.
💯
Jorge is 100x more likable than Colby. Jorge literally beat up Colby after the fight for saying disgusting disrespectful shit like he said to Leon. Talked about Jorge’s kids like a coward and talked about a man’s murdered father like a piece of garbage. I hope he continues to get negative karma for saying such terrible stuff and using it for publicity. The world will keep getting worse if we have clowns like famous
They booed him because he lost, not because what he said. They loved what he said before they knew how easy this fight would be for Leon.
Notice how had he not mentioned Leon’s father we wouldn’t even be talking about it gotta give it to Colby he knows how to get attention
@@jakedavis2954 Yeah, but what does that show? Instead of being clever or witty during the conference or relying on outstanding fighting skills, he's willing to taunt a fighter's murdered father?
Whatever shred of integrity Colby has left he would gladly sell for a handful of pocket change.
That's why Leon has the most aesthetic physique!
They wanted Leon to be an entertainer but he’s teaching the world more valuable lessons.
Whenever Leon gets emotional on the mic, it always hits me man, congrats to Rocky
Respect ✊🏽
Colby completely froze as soon as he saw Leon infront of him
Turned into a stiffy
Leon looked so good today. His kicks were fast af. His striking was pinpoint. Colby had absolutely nothing for him. Well deserved win for the champ.
Colby should never had gotten the chance to fight for the belt again. Its BS
@@mitnrkan9061 Absolutely correct. Dana destroys UFC ranking credibility with this type of matchup. The division has passed Colby.
Even Belal wouldve given us a better fight
@@mitnrkan9061Dana Pink kept hyping him up, his fans acted like he was a draw like Mcgregor. His best wins are against finished fighters.
@@devanshtyagi1403Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can just tell how much leon loved his dad man, you could hear the pain in his voice when doing that interview. Nearly made me tear up as well lol well done leon 👏
Props to Edwards. Nothing but a class act like always. What a beautiful person, and his speech got me in the feels.
Hats of to Leon he made this look easy.
Yep Colby kinda embarrassed himself
@@Rowsy91no kinda about it
In a night with 7 finishes in the first or second round.......he didn't make it look to easy...... going 5 rounds and losing the last round against the much smaller fighter
@@rok2791stop making excuses
Cope harder
Colby is a fake scumbag through and through. Good job Leon. *AND STILL!*
This was the last time Colby getting a title shot, he’s done
And still..... words covington will never experience 😂
@@user-hx6li5sm8qHe ain’t gonna experience “and new” either lmao
You know, I think he's a REAL scumbag after all.
I think colby tried everything to get leon to mentally brake down but couldn't in the end well done Champ Leon to stay focused and defeat colby.
Humility, honesty and discipline. That's the Leon Edwards we are seeing right here.
I’m Nigerian. I hated what Leon did to Usman. I couldn’t forgive him. But then Colby came and said this and I now feel for Leon.
Thank you Colby for helping me love Rocky.
Stand united. Leon is a brother. Even usman Said this.
Yeah I didn’t really care for Leon up until now.
He could literally have a movie based on his life
he is the fighter that should be promoted. Unbeaten in 12 or 13 fights, always class, super humble, reallly nice guy but the Media only wants to promote people who are controversial nowadays@@cristianroy21
Black is black no matter where you are on this earth, no reason to divide us 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I'm very happy for leon, Well deserved. Also, i know people always talk about colby putting on an act, etc. If there was ever a moment to just shut that side off and be real, it was now. As soon as they interviewed him, he should've been the bigger man and apologized to leon for the remarks about his dad. But instead, he does what he always does and makes an ass out of himself. Colbys such a clown man
never deserved that fight in the first place should never get one again, no one is going to buy into this fake act anymore.
Even Trump looked like he didn't wanted to be associated with that lunatic.
His career is already saved. It's time for him to shut up and be a decent person for once
Facts. He didn't deserve to be in there and proved it
Still falling for the heel act even if you think you’re not 😂
Colby embarrassed himself , trump and the first responders so bad. Showed what a scared little sad man he is. Leon showed resilience, emotional control and just had a walk in a park. He is not to blame that the fight wasn’t a banger. Colby is the contender but was to scared to engage, because he might could get hurt really bad. No dog in him
you cant embarrass trump he is a garbage human but it was funny seeing colby distract from his fight to glaze trump and first responders.
Bro he went there after 2 years out. did his best. Nothing to be ashamed of and be embarassed. its 50-50% eeverytime. This is Ultimate Fighting Championship. There are no losers in top10 win or lose.
Colby Covington, is that you?
@@ChrisEziowho was stopping him from fighting for 2 years
@@ChrisEziocope more
Its insane how much Leon has done now with this win, while still being underestimated. After Usman it was “oh it was just a fluke” then after the second it was “well oh usman was just scared” now its “yeah well colby hasnt had a fight in 2 years”
Damn, give this man a little respect lol.
My respect he beat two best fighters pound for pound Usman and Colby Leon is on top now
No one’s saying that. Pretty sure everyone knows how capable Leon is, and if they don’t their opinion is irrelevant at this point.
@@DepthStrider222 hush.
Fr then after beating belel itll be "oh belel was always terrible shavkat beats him"
When Leon told his coach to hush and he listened...it shows that these two are connected on such a deep level. Before it was his coach telling Leon to pull it out of the fire that helped him become the champion he is today, now the respect that the coach showed to Leon even though he was rightfully trashing Colby for being a garbage human being; to lift his coach up beyond the past to celebrate their victory.
His coach wolfing at colbys corner will always be hilarious
Leon's coaches and team are low key goat material.
Colby is a journeyman 😂
And a sbow man 😂
Just like his buddy Jorge
He made fun of Masvidal so much he ended up suffering the same fate
Always a bride...
I mean never the bride, always the bridesmaid or however you guys say it😂
Gotta feel good for Leon. Didn't get the finish like some thought he would, but he got an undeniably decisive win against a dude that dissed his dead dad. Cannot lose to a person like that.
Lol he won a close decision Colby won 4,5 and arguably 3 you could argue Colby won.

@@brianguandique7664I'm a Colby fan, but you're delusional bro.
Mama raised a strong man. He's cementing himself in welterweight history, congrats to Leon.
Masterclass.
Having lost my dad myself, I was hoping, probably even wishing for Edwards to jump colby after the decision, at least give him the finger or just in general be more energetic about it, and it would've been satisfying, but he stayed humble, stayed cool, showed he's a much bigger man than colby, and now I realize this is the most satisfying end to it, not getting down to the bastard's level.
I am so proud of Leon man. True champion and an awesome human being. He was the bigger man and humble humility stands strong yet again 💪
the word humble is thrown around way too much for fighters, especially when they continuously brag about how much better they are than their opponents .....literially the opposite of what the word means
@@rok2791you can speak facts and be humble . Go cry about the loss sum more why don’t ya
Jr. You clearly don’t understand the definition of the word humble. Try ready a dictionary, sport!
@@nickhammock308 a humble person does not "state facts" that they are better than others ..........Humble-having or showing a low or modest estimate of ones own importance......in case you are unsure of the meaning...........i dont care about colby or the loss, im not a fan.......leon was the better fighter, hands down.........A humble person does not yell at the top of his lungs "look at me now" "look at me now" over and over after he wins ....just sayin
@@Niko-ys9ieWhat 💀 You need to read a dictionary.
Its disgusting how many clowns were defending Colby for what he said about Leon’s father. Idgaf if he’s trying to “sell the fight”, you don’t bring someone’s family into this. Not the most entertaining fight but glad Leon won 💯
Ikr but when money is involved nobody seems to give a shit. Even dana loves it 😂. im so happy leon won. Colby is a journeyman after all 😂
blame colby, dude was running😂
its the fight game bruh.. mfs can say whatever they want , cuz they’ll eventually be locked in a cage and can settle it
Absolutely. They tried to compare it to prime Connor 💀
Connor went out of bounds with Khabib and paid the price. Same for Colby but at least with Connor he gave WAY more effort in that fight then Colby did tonight…
So happy for Leon for winning tonight.
if u wanna bring up someone’s family, be prepared to back it up in the cage… Colby couldn’t do that 🤷♂️
Well done Leon Edwards!! Your Your dad & the rest of your family will be proud & the UK 🇬🇧 fans & Jamaica 🇯🇲
How well you stayed composed throughout the fight & didn’t let your emotions get the best of you.
Another great win, you may not have got the finish you wanted but produced a dominate performance 👊🏾💯 👏🏽
Well done Champ. Continues to be humble, deserves respect 🙏
Win or lose Colby is a tool of a human !
Oh he's a tool alright 😂
Colby acting like he won was the funniest part of the fight... Great Job Leon 😂
How tf he tought that he won the fight?
Lmfao bro got dominated for 4 and half rounds and got up smiling 😂😂
It was funny the first two times. Now it's just sad and pathetic.
Colby Covington is America in a nutshell these days…. Delusional 😂
Bruh how can’t yall see that he is trolling lmao
Cant help but just love this guy man
For Leon to tie GSP's unbelievable winning streak illustrates what a special fighter he is. All the pieces of the puzzle have come together.
Lolol watching Colby act shocked that he didn’t squeak out a decision win is so embarrassing 😂
He did that during both Usman fights as well Lmao
i really dig Leon as champion; it's refreshing to have a no BS , stone-cold killer sniping or defending the division's grappling fighters equally effectively. Way to go, Rocky!
He is the most boring champ ever, a decision maker
@@s66s46go cry. Rocky staying the champ
@@s66s46you’re thinking of Colby
All the amount of trash talk before the fight but couldn’t even do sh*t inside the octagon. That’s a true American right there.
Leon is such a legit dude, a rarity these days. He doesn’t need to push down on anybody to lift himself, he lifts himself up in his own merits.
Kawhi Leonard of the UFC. The ufc doesn't deserve him lol
Lmao all this slobbering over poor baby Leon. Barf.
Colby really just made a ton of people who didn’t really care too much about Leon care for him and cheer him on, and now follow his fights
That’s good heel work
🏳️🌈 statement
Not really. Leon still put on a boring ass fight. Entire fight was leg kicks and 2 head strikes
@@rumblebird9888truer words have never been spoken
Leon the type of guy to make Colby second guess everything he does
From a true God fearing American Patriots, good job Leon! God bless!
What a true gentleman and humble winner, well deserved
Dude Colby made a complete fool out of himself. The fights with usman must of really gave him brain damage.
Usman had that man’s jaw hanging off like they were in mortal kombat 😭
Usman is the better American😂
Usman made him bad
Colbys going to the WWE after this. Yeah he’s got a big mouth, but he never backs it up. He’s perfect for scripted fights.
Notice this week ALL his trash talk is mostly the SAME cringey lines over and over. He memorizes most of this shit and that’s about the only thing he’s good at lmao
he's going down to 155 to fight washed up chandler and dustin prorior😂
people said the same thing about Chael. WWE wants winners like Rousey and Brock
The better American Usman broke him when he broke his face. He should give up his American citizenship
@@draco2xxhahahahah colby is the racist clown is done
Leon, you are amazing. I was so upset when you beat Kamaru, but you have won me over. You embody so much of what a champion should be. Colby is a scum bag and a bully who will do anything just for bit of fame and money. Those people never end up happy in the long run. I don’t blame you for crying after the press conference, I would have too. Thank you for being such a great champion, I am rooting for you to go far.
Facts
All Colby had going for him was his garbage personality and gimmick that attracted other garbage fans, his biggest career highlight is rocking Usman one time in 2 fights. He got spooked vs Leon cause he know the difference in skill-set. Now his own fans turned on him cause they remember how boring he is and who he was. If he cant win 3/5 Rounds then he loses cause we know he cant get the finish, dude has pillow hands and his most excitring fights have Usmans name attached to it. He can fake it to an underserved title-fight all he wants , but people saw the truth, and he wasted everyones time.
Love the champ telling his coach enough and to be quiet. As he said it was very emotional for him and for his coaches but the champ showed what makes him great to control his emotions and for it all to be done at the end
Props to Edwards for putting his emotions aside and focusing on the gameplan. Covington just lost the remainder of the fanbase he had left.
He didnt, he gave too many chances by trying to prove a point
@@MannyKnowsYourSecrets Ridiculous comment. Is that why he 49-46'd your boy? Would've even been a 50-45 if he had chosen to keep it standing in the fifth.
@@MannyKnowsYourSecretsColby is making a fool of himself , believe me he will never fight again he's now ashamed of himself and his little feelings are hurt the sissy
Congrats Leon. Leon gets hate for "not having a personality". Yet you can be on steroids, throw dollys at busses full of people, domestic abuse, miss weight etc and still be loved..
We live in a cruel world.. people are going to say ugly things. How you respond to it is the most important thing. Salute to Leon Edwards.
what a g, contained his emotion when needed, showed it after, and love how he checked his coach during the interview.
Bullied him, son. Great fight tonight Rocky - and still!
Colby talked the talk, Leon walked the walk.
The way he defused that with double Hey was badass and befitted of a true Champion. Congratulations on another defense, Leon!
Never have I been more happy for someone in this sport.

Couldn't be any happier for Leon. This man truly deserves everything, world title, fame, wealth and love from fans.
What a gentleman and an inspiration!
Belal gonna put an end to this stupid story
Leon is an absolute gentleman. This fight wasn't even remotely close.
An all class, masterclass of a performance
So happy for Leon 🇬🇧🇯🇲
bro I felt the pain when his took the mic from joe doesn't matter if his father was bad guy you can tell love and pride Leon had in his eyes to his father because he raised him well
Applause. A respectful and worthy champion who displays great sportsmanship.
At every interview I becoming a little bit more fan of this guy! 👏
Leon very classy human being. Much respect for him
Wow i didn't expect Leon was so professional and humbly giving his opinion like the way he did in this vid what a champ.
So happy that Leon won. A true champion that represents the UFC with dignity.
Colby is a clown 🤡
Leon is a champ 🏆
Wow im becoming leon fans right now, what a fighter, what a gentleman, 👏👏👏
Leon's coach is a great human being he motivates him, treat him like a son even call him son during the breaks and was ready to fight for him after the fight nothing but respect for the legend.
Leon, you absolute legend. Wow, what a hero. So much dignity and integrity. Your father would be so proud of you. Well done mate.

Waiting for the "they aren't the same fighter" excuses
Shavkat is coming, he will be champ. Mark my words
My favourite ufc champion of all time!! Lets go,Leon! And congratulations!
Officially a big fan of Leon I lost my mum 3 months ago and for him not to kill him after all the trash talk and even to tell him coach to calm down he is a true champion love you Leon
A humble man, but a great fighter too. Well done Leon.
He's such a sniper. Technically so good. Everytime Colby opened up he tagged him. Ate that leg up.
Idk about you guys but the fight was quite boring for me. Both fighters seemed like they didn’t even want to fight. Ik many are happy that leon won over colby because he was talking bad about his dad and i am too, but man the fight was boring
Poor guy 😢😢@@ABAddonfromHeLL
I'm happy for Leon. I was hoping he would've got that finish for his dad

Being on the back foot the entire time, did absolutely nothing it was so weird I got why Leon fought how he fought he was smart pressuring Colby and he didnt even need to do much and Leons literally a better grappler than Colby is😂😂😂😂
Leon is humble guy better than me for sure. I'm not mad at his coach going off on Colby's camp but telling him to chill it takes a real man. Mad respect.
I was sooooo impressed with all the grappling exchanges! Leon is the man!
He deserved respect. True champion❤
Great effort Leon. You are an inspiring champion.
Much respect 🙌
Respect for Leon Edwards! I understand taunting an opponent before a fight. It does help with ticket sales and increases popularity. However, disrespecting Edwards deceased father was way over the line. I lost my father six months ago, and I felt Leon’s sadness tonight. Covingtons takes all this as a joke, but someday he may get worse than a beat down in a cage.
I hope he stays champion for a long time because he deserves it
