Jon Anik's call right before the knockout is legendary, Joe and DC were counting him out but Jon believed in strap season.

This was like a fighting scene in a movie the last second and wins incredible moment one of the best ufc finishes I’ve seen I mean come on Leon was losing the whole fight and he connects with a good head kick to end it
As soon as Edwards faints a left low kick and Usman has no reaction to it, he instantly knows that the belt is right there for the taking. And camoflages the left kick with a nice jab to bait Usman out to dip his head and BOOM , blasts that left kick.
Much respect to these men 💯👊🏾
The same technique used by gaetje to porier. So effective
Best moment in UFC history.
And that's why he has the most aesthetic physique in the galaxy

I really don’t understand how people count him out so quick against Colby. He made an insane comeback in a fight he was losing by kicking one of the most dominant champions in history so hard, he had a thousand yard stare in his eyes. Then after that, comes back and dominates in the rematch to prove he’s the better fighter. It’s understandable that Colby is a scary matchup for any welterweight, but Leon has been looking absolutely spectacular since he’s joined the UFC. I don’t think the Colby fight is as bad of a matchup as people think. Leon’s definitely a better striker, his work in the clinch is very methodical and well thought out, and on top of that, his defensive wrestling had only been getter better and better. Colby doesn’t even deserve a title shot in the first place, but either way it’ll be a pretty even fight..

That kick must have done some serious damage. I bet Usman was feeling that for a long time.
I remember being in the LR with my dad and cousins. Soon as usman fell my cousin literally ran out the living room in disbelief. My jaw was on the floor
Joe's eyes are going to Pop out.... Love never Fails 💖
As an Englishman - this is my favourite knockout of all time
I’ve watched this so many times
This was the best holy shit moments ever until Max Holloway dropped Gaethje
Just a wide mouth open moment, it was so crazy to see!
He for a second "What?!?! Again???"
Fuck me that kick never gets old.
That corner speech it’s as important as the KO
Leon for another shock win
what a setup
Best momets 2022
I really thought I missed the event and that he had done it again :p
he did the Connor walk 😭😭
He does this all the time in training. His teammates know him best. Which is why he’s called Rocky.
My favorite part of any UFC KO is Joe's reaction
Straight outta Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Defending a fighter down 3.8 - 1 rounds with a minute to go is legendary
seeing shit like this makes me so fucking happy. let's goo.
ROCKY!! ROCKY!! ROCKY!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
i still remember the rush of seeing Usman fall to the ground. it felt like a dream.
Joe giving credit to Jon cemented it. Greatest ufc call ever.
Can UFC turn the music up so I can hear it more
Seeing Leon’s movement from the 2nd to 3rd fight really does show how bad elevation can fuck fighters up. The ufc should never do events at places with high elevation again
Wow WHAT a Head Kick absolutely spectacular but Joe Rogans Face 😅 i hope the UFC keeps him forever as a Commentator cause he is made for that
Cro-Cop would be proud
You could see the feints in his leg, and his hands. Then he shows him the jab, and then kicks his head.
That is a praying man.🙏 Clean finish
haha. What I need to go to work today, and I'm off tomorrow!
Perfectly timed comment from John Anik “that is not the cloth from which he is cut” - BOOM headshot dead
At 3:15 you can see Jon Anik completely missing the KO, looking away while Joe and DC reacts
The best day of my life
so how did he get him to drop his hand like that for the setup? what shot did he feint that he bit on so hard?
