Leon being so soft-spoken & underrated for years just makes the moment (and watchback) that much more special/legendary. His personality has been shining ever since 🍻

Headshot dead!...

Goosebumps every damn time. LOOK AT ME NOW!

Absolutely. People already forgot about it. For me this one is hall of fameworthy.

[@RVLIEK5]

Pound-for-pound what?! Pound-for-pound what?! There is no Pound-for-Pound.. The belt belongs to nobody!!

[@luckyspurs]

It's knowing how soft spoken he is most of the time that makes it even better. Voice went hoarse and deep from emotion.

[@yasin-ali]

“Look at me now!”

[@fashelfut]

I really hope he wins the next one as well. Will solidify him. Lots of people think it was a fluke.

[@rng_snipes0168]

It wasn’t a fluke because it was well timed and well executed however if it went the distance usman would’ve won by majority decision in my opinion

Still have so many questions.. like how hard he hit his head on the canvas when he took usman down.. how angry he must have felt after Herb put him back after a fence grab while Usman got away with it a few seconds before.. The fact that he stayed so patience is unreal.. even after Usman following him and trying to get under his skin after rounds. I watched this fight back so many times..wish could get that live feeling back. Good luck Rock march 18!

I just wanna know if his shin was throbbing the next day from hitting a literal rock

[@gametoppler]

Epic battle between two unique fighters. The one who talks like he's telling bonfire scary stories all the time vs the one who talks all the time like his voice is trembling of fear for no reason.

[@guillermoherdesaki4014]

Look at how happy he gets when he sees the kick again “what a shot”, hes smiling through the whole interview tbh

[@justinyeung2502]

This was an amazing interview. Every second. Especially how Leon was so honest and frank about his upbringing and what this means to him. Massive thanks to everyone, what an inspiration.

[@stevedrake1640]

Well done mum for not taking a pointless jab! Let’s go champ! My jaw dropped when that kick landed.

[@richpoorworstbest4812]

I remember meeting Leon years ago. He's a top dude. When he was on that winning streak at about 7 or 8 matches he was more or less on the longest winning streak in the division and nobody in the states gave him the time of day as he wasn't controversial, he's a nice dude. When he eventually got the shot and won, people still discredited him and said fluke. I really want him to win to shut them up. Go ROCKY

[@micahbodha6129]

Such a genuine and humble guy. So refreshing to see in ufc

It feels good to see someone from my hometown on top of the world, Leon is an inspiration and a great role model💯

My favorite moment of the year.. and this has nothing to do with Usman but everything to do with Edwards.. so happy for the man 👊

[@jayr.3720]

Absolutely one of the most shocking and unforgettable moments in UFC history. I'll never forget crumbling to the floor of my living room and burying my face in my hands, not from grief, not from glee, but from shock. It was truly out of nowhere and will stand forever as a defining moment of this era of mma.

Leon is such a good dude and seems like a really authentic person, and I’m so glad that it went down like this. I wish he had the ability to make Usman wait and win a fight before a rematch, but I have to admit that Usman deserves an instant rematch if anybody does.
