So many people said Edwards didn't even deserve the shot. Most underrated, most disrespected fighter in the sport. Casuals with opinions. Baffling. Look at him now! Leon Edwards is the quintessential gray man/ dark horse. He does not train at altitude and EPO dope so the altitude really affected his output throughout the fight. The headkick was well read and calculated. Incredible.

I'm super proud of Leon 'Rocky' Edwards and the adversities he has overcome and the message he is representing. This is why I love UFC. No easy fights and it's never over to the last bell. Bringing home the gold. 🇬🇧

[@sam_new2740]

Never in doubt too technically sound and his coaches gave him the right motivation deserves it after everything let’s go rocky !!!!

[@DM-ke7vo]

Being from Birmingham, what this proves to our city is immense!! Incredible, I’m glad usman got shut up, he was to busy calling out Canelo for a big pay day, back down the order boy, earn your shot like Leon had to do when he lost.

[@Dave-ok4en]

“Iv been doubted my whole life, look at me now” 😤 he meant that and i felt it

[@vincevincent6984]

He could have got down there and dropped some hammer fists like Usman has done to many before him but leon is a superb human being he just did what was necessary! Congrats leon ! Woooooo ! Enjoy your nap Snoozeman hahha

[@TestySatchel]

It looked cooler without the hammer fists anyway

[@michaelmyers4943]

@@TestySatchel yup, Usman needed those follow up shots cuz otherwise Masvidal would’ve gotten back up. Edwards knew his was a walk off and he wasnt getting up for a min lol

[@GK-gr2mx]

Walk off Ko way better !

[@misterrandompro6181]

ngannou also does the same ..i hope he gets knocked out too by someone .... edwards though 💪💪💪🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@keithcalvosa5894]

He would've done it if he had the energy

[@DiddyStien]

*Legend has it* Leon's first words as a baby were "I believe I deserve a shot at the title" look at him now!🥇🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

[@JaimeProductions]

[@parasstone8414]

Congratulations congratulations Congratulations congratulations Congratulations congratulations Congratulations congratulations My brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shouted so loudly that My neighbors dog started barking, landlord came to shout, people in the streets stopped themselves to see what's happening there since its daytime Here in Nepal🇳🇵. Loved it. Congratulations Leon Rocky Edwards.

[@rjari8578]

Same here in India

[@wjbt3]

That walkoff KO was class 🔥👏🏻 big ups to Rocky! Legendary post-fight interview

[@ancientmummy9861]

Absolutely legendary. Will go down in history. I still can't believe it 🇬🇧😁🇯🇲

[@bestmemorylossmethod7010]

So surreal how one kick in the last minute of the fight completely changes the trajectory and legacy of Usman's career. No longer GOAT, P4P, records being broken, or talk of moving up to light heavyweight. An extraordinary accomplishment for the new Champion.

[@bryanyau2001]

Also reminds us truly how great the actual greats are like GSP, Anderson Silva etc and how hard it actually was to achieve those records

[@fiveplates]

Brings tears to my eyes. Raw emotion. "Look at me now!"

[@IdontKnow-fd6rp]

He finally did it

[@BroomShankly]

He ain’t called Rocky for nothing!!! LETS GO LEON!!!!! 🇬🇧 🇯🇲 Easily the most shocking UFC upset we’ve ever seen with only a minute left on the clock.

[@Dr.afolabiorekoya]

Leon got Lucky. That’s a Fact. He can hold the belt for a lil while, the real owner Kamaru “the Nigeria Nightmare” will get it back soon.

[@BroomShankly]

@@Dr.afolabiorekoya it wasn’t lucky, it was a textbook knockout

[@ReubenRiverdance]

I would say SS defeat of GSP was in my view the biggest ever upset. This is close though

[@len3169]

Leon acting as if he was not ready to quit, he was a mentally broke fighter just hoping to survive the bell. Anyone with half a brain knows this was probably the flukiest moment in the history of the ufc. I’m glad Marty snoozeman got KO’d but let’s be real about it. Leon will lose his next fight…..

[@BroomShankly]

@@len3169 none of that really matters whether he loses his next fight, he has just become the first to KO Usman. And the KO was nothing close to a fluke 👍

[@cameron.vanheerden]

this was so emotional watching and hearing the amount of passion in his voice

[@alenkikic3531]

He is so explosive and agile, I knew if someone can do it in WW division its him. His technique is flawless, I dont know why everybody doubted him for so long. And he is likeable down to earth guy compared to Usman and the rest of the division, so Im very glad he got the belt in a such beautiful style. Few more shots were super necessary but it is what it is...
