And it's ironic that it was one of the few times in the fight where Leon made Usman back up. Cause Usman was pretty much in bully mode the whole fight. Leon's corner should get their flowers as well. They spent 3 sessions in between rounds Appealing to Leon's pride to make sure he didn't quit.

[@codyfoster8730]

The Vid of Triple C and Ali is crazy. Leon's corner called for the kick then you see Henry and Ali soul leave thier body a sec later.

[@kerke4639]

This is why fighting sports are so great. One great moment from someone or one bad slip up from another could instantly cost you the night and the training you have done for the past couple months specifically for that fight. This was perfect execution by Leon and do not let people not give this man his credit. What he did to end the fight was so spectacular and you really can’t criticize it at all because it was against a great fighter like Usman and Leon just took it to him at the end executed everything to perfection. One of the best fights we had in a while.

[@kerke4639]

@Malus Yeah I defiently agree. My point was that individual sports can lose excitement in sports that are set in a way for the underdog to rarely overcome the opponents. In a sport like tennis, the better player will generally win due to them having multiple sets which allow the better player to be the victor since each slip up has less impact on the outcome compared to fighting sports. Fighting sports gives the underdog much more chances in winning because one mistake by favored fighter could cost him the whole fight unlike most individual sports.

[@balancedlif3308]

"The left foot landed solid up'side his head" stellar commentary Shannon lol.

[@UHOH_415]

What makes this crazy was that DC, Joe, and Jon were calling the fight all but finished. And then Boom. Edwards lands the kick. Their faces tell the whole story.

They just biting off the hype of the event. Honestly it's kinda lame, but I expect it. This was a pivotal moment in MMA. Usman will go down as a top 3 welterweight of all time so beating him is a beg deal.
