One of the most emotional speeches from a coach that Edwards got. 'Dont let him bully you son!', 'Stop feeling sorry for your fkn self!', 'You gotta pull this sht out of fire!' He really pulled it out of fire at the very last moment. And what a setup, Usman never saw the third piece.

[@ArctekApex]

@@leelunk8235 Most of the time it's just a little too much stress to listen to your corner, pay attention to the fight, silence your own mind and also listen to the other teams corner. Also just because they call for it doesn't mean it's going to happen and Leon sold the left straight super effectively. In the fight, you have to go off of what you're seeing and feeling. It really really looked, even to us but im sure especially to Kamaru from his eyes, like the straight left was coming down the pipe and if he didn't block the straight left he'd be sleeping anyway.

[@Amzyy]

The way Leon set up that head kick was perfection. 1st guy to take Usman down, mount him, took his back and nearly got the RNC. The altitude definitely had an effect on Leon. Usman trains at altitude with already insane cardio. The trilogy will be interesting.

Except GSP was 25 years old, not in his prime and had a lot to learn still and Usman is 35 years old in his prime. Not the same. But Usman had quite a run, but he isn't GSP. GSP also had 9 title defences in WW devision, Usman had 5. He had a long ways to go to catch GSP. He is GOAT #2 for the division but not close to #1.

[@corybaker1527]

Totally agree! And all nine defenses were 9 different opponents. Usman fought two opponents twice.

[@GgCashh451]

Disagree GSP had more title defenses because he got a title shot after two fights kamaru had to go on a nine fight win streak he beat him in terms of consecutive victories and has suffered just one defeat while setting more records. don’t forget GSP also got submitted

[@newchannel416]

@@GgCashh451 Gsp getting the title shot early meant 2 things:1)He was fighting the n1 guy for 8-9 years straight 2)He was ready for it.Usman got choked out by a can 1,5 prior to ufc debut and he was fighting tomato cans until 2018-2019 when he was ready which help develop to the next level.That also helped him on building his record and not getting loses early when he wasnt ready.Tired of people claiming he would be champ earlier.Throw the usman that got tired against emil meek in 2018 against prime hendricks,rory,lawler,woodley in 2015 and you will get him killed.

[@AdamLunn08]

Making the point that Usman is now where GSP was having lost when he wasn't supposed to (presumably he means to Serra) is all well and good but Edwards fully earned his shot. Also, the idea that Usman will just 'put things right' and win easily next time is all well and good but he's had two full fights (almost) with Edwards now and the only danger Edwards has ever been in was on the scorecards. Not once was he really hurt or in any dangerous positions. Edwards had Usman defending a triangle for well over a minute in the first fight and was attacking a RNC for over a minute in this fight and then knocked him out cold.

You made promises and kept 100 and true to yourself, I thought you were real and I invested, I believed you were telling us all along, for years, with your choice actions and words that you work quietly and you work the hardest, and many saw that humility and careful purpose as tentative or scared. I could not be happier that your private and pure determination have been vindicated and you've been proven right. A truly top tier wrestler and striker. What a story, what a fighter.
