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 🍻

[@thefincheffect]

Headshot dead!...

[@drpro5811]

That speech will be in my mind forever.. thanks Leon for inspiring alot of us

[@RealSatanHere]

His coach too

[@lebraa]

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.

Belal is coming for revenge and he will take it.

[@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

[@bluenose7984]

Only the stoners think it was a fluke, the rest know he was practising that exact kick before the walk out!

[@Thijszz]

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

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

[@dsadasdawew32132]

I still remember i was about to turn of the TV and then it came, headshot bang ! So happy for him, one of the greatest knockouts ever, considering all on the line

[@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

[@alexp3997]

People are sleeping on Leon in the rematch, we have no idea how Kamaru is gonna come back after that knockout. Getting flatline koed at 35 years old isn’t good for any fighter.

[@astonblanche137]

also not fighting at altitude either

[@saku0207]

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.

[@remeissup7602]

This man will win the trilogy. Everything about the rematch was in usmans favor and he took a massive career changing knockout loss at 35 years old at 170. Now in the trilogy usman will not be able to fight the same based on his style. He won’t be fighting at crazy elevation. He was the only fighter on the card of ufc 278 that didn’t have cardio issues because he trains with team elevation. He also loses his mental advantage as well. He hopefully won’t be able to cheat multiple time during the fight with cage grabs and glove grabs. And he’s coming off another hand surgery. Leon Edwards will win the trilogy and remain the champion of the world.
