1st fight humbled him, 2nd fight he shocked the world, and the 3rd fight he left no doubt. Absolute chills. Leon Rocky Edwards is one of the best

He arguably won the first fight as well, he was outstriking the hell out of Usman in that one, but Usman got the W because of takedown and control time (which was a big factor in those days).

@@Zizoujr11 where are you getting this from? The stats I just looked up were usman 48 to Leon's 26 significant and total strikes was usman 126 to Edwards 36. Let's not forget usman had almost 11 minutes of control in a 15 minute fight. The fact that you said he arguably won and outstruck him is insane when the stats say otherwise.

Leon Edward’s story is incredible. He’s making all doubters eat their words. At a point in time he had the worst luck in the Ufc. Every time he would win a fight it would surrounded with skepticism. Now, he has just cemented himself as the greatest welterweight on the planet and he’s only getting better. I hope his championship reign lasts a while. Also, hats off to Usman for being a class act in defeat.

I'm interested in the Khamzat matchup the most. Khamzat is a lot faster shooting takedowns than Kamaru and moves a bit better on the feet, too. I'd be interested to see how Leon fares against Khamzat abilities. The only thing is UFC, or the fans can't fully trust Khamzat to make the weight, so I think you do Khamzat vs. Colby next and winner gets title shot.

Amazing performance from Leon, he said his last fight performance was bad and I of course didn't believe him because fighters will always say that and say they think they won. But, he was absolutely not lying! This performance was WAY better and he came out victorious even with a point deduction!! Besides a couple groin kicks which was inevitable with his style this fight he was on fire. Kamaru Usmans run is surely over, im blown away by Leon's performance. I think he will hold the belt for a while. Also, his takedown defense skill increase was mindblowing. Way to go Leon! 👏

You didn't believe him about having his worst performance? I think it was pretty clear. In the second fight he dominated the first round then immediately fell off. The altitude hurt a lot of fighters on that card.

Imagine how electrifying it felt for Leon when every time he stuffed a takedown or got back to his feet, the crowd lost it for him. It’s like a celestial pat on the back throughout the fight.

leon is a real champion . well done bro. god bless you and may you continue winning.
You could tell from the weigh ins, Leon had the attitude of a champion. He went into the octagon knowing he is better, and it showed.
Leon did everything perfectly, controlled the clinch, attacked his legs and body with kicks knowing usman will focus more on blocking the head. Even though he was pressured constantly he moved quick on the feet and was dangerous in every exchange. No need to mention the excellent defensive wrestling, but it is actually the most impressive thing about his performance. Usman looked good, Leon looked better. We got ourselves a real champion lads!
As much as I wanted him to, I didn’t think he was gonna win. I’m so proud of Leon man congratulations!!

I will admit, he proved me wrong. I thought he was lucky the first fight, but he was truly the better competitor. Congrats to Leon and fair play to kamaru.

Great to see a man who was highly underrated and under appreciated make it to the top
Yes!!! So glad he retained. His belt. What a fight
Those legs kicks and takedown defense was money in the bank. As for Usman, kudos to having one of the greatest runs as a champ.

Usman should probably retire or move up as long as Leon has the belt he’s not getting another shot and the only guy I can see beating Leon anytime soon is khamzat who would probably sub usman in the first round dude has legit zero bjj ability hence why Leon could just get right back up no fear of submissions at all. Also Robert would merk him at 185 he’s basically Leon with better offensive grappling and probably a bit better in the feet
I am impressed and so happy for Leon. Such a humble guy.
So much respect for Leon a genuine head,glad he's getting his shine
Man Leon just proved he belongs at the top I see him going far into his championship reign
Congratulations on your win

Usman suffered the same fate , he did to woodley a few years ago. Both were 36 when dethroned. Both had distractions going on and were over confident going into the fight. Funny how life works out.

To be fair, he was easily dominating Diaz up to that point. Was almost like his previous fight against Usman, where he was being dominated but got that famous head kick to land for the win. Difference is that Nate didn't immediately follow up and allowed Leon to recover enough to last out the fight.
