Cannot fault Leon at all. The most humble deserving champion in my eyes

[@telsutton]

I find it amazing that neither Leon nor Tom will get anywhere near being nominated for BBC Sports Personality of the Year, but they should both be imo. True, humble champions.

[@user-zm9xf7mo4p]

For someone that grew up in a football family but also fell in love with MMA 15 plus years ago what a time to be alive for the sport. Our Football legends like Rio interviewing our current UFC champ

[@jaymac7203]

Leon buying his mum a shop is so wholesome 😭

[@mikemorris3608]

What a pair of absolute legends

[@bassface8580]

Wow. Such an emotional moment when he phoned his mum when he won the belt. Nearly had me tearing up there. Amazing. Gl Leon

[@dgallagher7029]

This is a great interview. What a top bloke Leon is. Very down to earth and he was overlooked for so long but he showed the world. Fantastic.

[@prokrastinatia]

Leon is so sweet. Great person

[@stevenallan1756]

GREATEST HEAD KICK IN UFC HISTORY!

[@Nealeffort]

I like Rio vibe throughout this whole interview, very genuine, good questions as well

[@fightdisciple9192]

Can see rio is totally in awe of the grind . Athlete to athlete. Class

[@michaelsmyth5877]

I love that Leon is gonna make an absolute bag from this fight, the card is absolutely stacked and it says allot that the ufc gave him top of the bill with Colby

[@theguvnor3880]

Leon might be one of the most improved fighters in the UFC.

[@sambod6627]

Cant fault leon in anyway at all, the guys an absolute legend and a very humble man, takes care of his family and friends at all costs, huge respect 👊🏼🔥

[@devondetroit2529]

I didn’t know much about Leon Edwards before, what a decent bloke

[@aperson7382]

Good to hear Leons version of the reason Ian Garry was told to move on. No disrespect there, just an honest conversation saying the culture of club does not promote IG’s mannerisms.

[@originaljungle]

leons coaches speech gives me goosebumps every time

[@domeland2835]

I like Leon a lot man. Awesome champion

[@McG518]

No ego, humble in his approach.. A man amongst men.

[@jamesmaguire9518]

Damn. Never thought I'd see these two together. This is great. Both legends
