@@oodlesofnoodles9437i wonder which one of these two fine gentlemen is gonna tell you the OP is a meme edit: he deleted it. smart.

[@flyingmonke]

The edit from Kamaru getting off the private jet and into a Rolls Royce to Leon in a department store says so much without spelling it out. A contenders hunger for the belt is unmatched....

[@NadixonYT]

nigga he was getting beat the fuck up before that kick lmao

[@Carnitch]

Usman was well on his way to becoming the best welterweight of all time until Leon landed the head kick one year ago today, went through all those emotions with his corner 🥹 glad I was a fan before he was champ 🇬🇧🇯🇲

[@unknown_entity905]

If you ever feel stupid just know that the UFC still doesn't have Larone on payroll

[@NeoAndersonChannel1]

Seriously. They should have him dropping his edits endorsed by them every Friday night/Sat morning before the PPV. Give him early access to the embedded footage so he can chop up the last episode and put it in the cut.

[@fahads1866]

I watch this whenever I need motivation and inspiration. Any time when I'm feeling down and depressed, I play Jon Anik's quote in my head: "That is not the cloth from which I am cut." We can all have our Leon Edwards moment in our lives, no matter field we're in. Work hard and never give up!

[@kamalaharrisiswhite]

This one deserves an hour and 20 minutes. What a story.

On this day last year! This was special, the way it all happend. I never felt like i did when i saw that all come together and Leon finally becoming the champion.

[@bigg_benjis]

Same here brother it’s rly cool to hear I’m not the only one. I remember during the build up all the talks of usman moving up in weight and potentially boxing. As well as his winning streak and all of that. And seeing that all gone within an instant I knew mma is a special special sport and I’ve been a super fan ever since.

[@djsmith8119]

@@bigg_benjis so many crazy things happened in this fight bro changed usman life and Rockies life so much. 2 giant fight streaks, usman about to pass Anderson, gets taken down for the first time in the ufc, Leon wins rd 1 after 2 year lay off, then gets cooked for the next 19 mins just to knock usman out as they say “that’s the not the cloth he’s cut from” everyone doubted him. Cejudo saying “easy money easy money” to abdelasleeze right before. They couldn’t do a better movie than this

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Don't think so. Leon, in a way, is probably one of the most lucky champs at the UFC: he, alone, arrived at the peak of his most prime, at 30, when the last generation --- guys around 34 to 39: Burns, Colby, Jorge, Usman et al --- are still occupying most of the Top 5, with the rest of the more elite occupying the Top 10 (Wonderboy, Geof Neal et al). And Leon has already shown he easily outmaneuvered the guys who came up with him who had potentials, earlier on, to be champs... like gritty Belal, elite grappler Nelson, tough man Luque et al. If Leon plays it right, he could go on to defend his belt 3-4 times, easily... against older guys.... making him one of the really solid champs at Welterweight. He's already defeated 35/36 Usman twice in a row; now he's on to defeating 35/36 Colby --- who is another elite wrestler but also an older, smaller, and equally plodding like Usman but who doesn't have Usman's size, strength, or height ---- and so that'd be 2 defense of the belt. Next, Belal. That'd be his 3rd defense. Burns next; that's 4th defense. The really tough defense would be his 5th, against 30 year-old equally prime, equally big & tall, as Leon, around 6'2".... Shavkat... who, tough a bit less polished in the striking department than Leon.... is much better in BJJ than Leon himself, who is very good in BJJ, as a black belt..... I pretty much envisioned this being the journey for Leon, around 3-4 years ago, right after he defeated the #4 RDA, from his #12 ranking, the year right after Colby, the #4, defeated the #1 RDA.... Remember, 3 years ago, when he moved up from #4 to #3, he wanted to fight Colby. Colby, as the WWE clown that he is, pretended not to know "some unknown buy Leon Scott... fighting unknown guys is charity work; I don't do charity..." Dana giggled, saying, "See, what did I tell you, Colby's the man. Whatever he wants or doesn't, I can't make him do nothin'..." So, from 2021 to 2023 Leon has 4 fights; Usman 4 fights; Burns 6 fights; and Belal 7 fights (all wins except the NC Leon fight). Colby, just 2 fights, one loss to Usman and one win over grandpa Jorge.... to earn Colby's straight 3rd belt shot.

Even at the time Usman was under appreciated. Leon’s head kick wasn’t lucky, but it was certainly not normal for him to do something like that. Fans who are surprised that Leon’s not getting finishes don’t know his game. I thought that finish would be a turning point for Leon and he would have more urgency but it feels like an Aljo Yan moment where we were witnessing greatness and it got taken by a less than stellar successor.

Belal has a problem with Lein because of the accidental eye poke, and you coukd see Leon was genuinely sorry for it....and now that Belal has the win over Sean Brady and has trained with khabib all of a sudden hes a killer and no one wants to fight him....I'd love to see Leon and Belal run it back and Leon would win hands down.....he was was winning in the striking in the fight until.....Leon deserves and has earned exactly where is he is....if Colby cant control him on the ground Lein wins..i think he wins anyhow, but it should be interesting.....like both fighters but i think because Leon doesn't has that background of life-long wrestling....he wont win the fight....Leons take down defense wasn't too bad against kamaru ,and since.....you know hes focused on just that....because his striking is on point.
