His confidence was literally the main factor to his victory, he understood Usman's ability and respected it, but did not fear the man whatsoever.

Great to see someone who had been living the role of unnoticed and uninteresting guy in the room while doing all the hard work in the gym finally takes the spotlight and alpha status in his division. He's the living testimony of "real G's works hard in silence".

What an amazing performance. Leon’s standup is so technical and his takedown defense was next level. He’s also so composed in octagon, he never presses or seems to get flustered, just fights his fight. What a great champion, beating Usman in back to back fights, once emphatically and then to out point him via convincing decision is incredibly impressive.

I really think that the high altitude during the 2nd fight was what caused Leon so many problems. He won that first round, and then got very exhausted very quickly. This time, he won the first round and then maintained that same pace throughout. It was a superbly clean and technical performance from Leon. The level of concentration from him throughout to meet and outwit someone like Usman in the ring is remarkable. Good luck to him

I think I probably only watched the first two rounds and then part of the third round and then just stopped watching the fight because it wasn't really that exciting and I was getting kind of tired of seeing Leon blatantly cheating and acting as though he didn't know what he was doing when he got deducted a point. There aren't too many guys that I particularly care for in welterweight division except for maybe Gilbert Burns, Stephen Thompson, Michael Chiesa and Shavhat Rakhmonov. So it didn't really matter to me who won the main event but I just don't like blatant cheating and then acting as though they didn't do anything. Leon does seem like a pretty cool dude though.

@@lewis9728 yeah it's all good. I don't get wrapped up in these conversations on KZread. Yeah the welterweight division just doesn't appeal that much to me but I think Gilbert Burns definitely deserves a shot because he's everybody that the UFC has asked him to. He doesn't complain. He just wants to stay active but also get what he deserves which is a title shot. But now that you've got Khazmat in the mix that makes things a little interesting that's if he can make weight or if he wants to stay in that division. Jorge will never be champion. And honestly I can't see Colby being champion either. But you're right weirder things have happened. Who would have ever thought that Valentina Scehchenko would have gotten submitted. But Alexa Grasso put together a great game plan and she's going to be a great champion as well. Oh well take care my friend. Enjoy the fights. I don't know if you're into other fight organizations but ONE FC has some really great fights and they're coming to the US in May I believe. Demetrius Johnson is the main event and Sage Northcutt is making his return. I'm curious to see how Sage is going to do this time.. ✌️

Leon trained with Islam and Khabib at AKA when he was still a grappling novice so he done the right thing clearly. He will never need to be a better wrestler than these Dagestanis and the top US College Wrestlers. He has enough game to hold his own, he has clearly worked on his TDD to maybe a new level for MMA, plus he is a BJJ black belt. Not a bad base for someone who is often considered the greatest striker in the division (along with Wonderboy)

Colby might bring out The Gimp to give it to Leon.
Well deserved, you are one of my favourite fighters in the UFC.. Seeing fighters buy fancy cars, jewellery stupid things when they start making bank and you bought you're Mother a fast food shop!! Absolutely amazing. I've been to Brum, just on a holiday visited some girls living in a uni there. And I loved it. It was a rough town won't lie but hey lucky I had some African friends and I had a good tan from Australia haha. I had a top night at Gatecrasher and got some jerk chicken after. Yum! I'm going back in a year or two and would love to eat at Mumma Edwards shop. You are a great fighter and a great son. Congratulations mate!!
The fastest leg kick iv seen , explosive 💣
congratulations to Leon
I really thought Usman would destroy Leon this fight, and wow was I wrong!

I'm so glad we don't have such a racist champion that talks too much like that Nigerian Nightmare. Leon is such a likable human being.

Fr even in the post fight usman was like it’s ok I lost to Leon because he’s black, dude is such a fucking weirdo glad we won’t be seeing him hold a belt ever again
Now people can give Leon edwards the respect he fucking deserves

Yup
Looked a very close fight well done to both going the distance.
Leon deserves all the success he is a true martial artist and a proper role model
Beating usman over 5 rounds arguably 4-1 (I had it 5-0 without his round 3 actions) is an incredible achievement. I did not see anyone being able to beat usman over 5 rounds, I thought he’d have to be finished to lose a fight but leon showed who’s the better martial artist tonight. Git up leon lad 🏴

He’s been allowed to take peds his whole career because the ufc wanted to buy that African market… with an American fighter.
Proper real guy !

Congrats Leaon, you did it again.
Those calf kicks- jeez. I'm surprised usman was still walking. Leon kept him at bay most of the fight then when usman grappled Leon had the Defense. It was a great fight. Leon smashed it

Leon Edwards always keeps his conditioning in great shape , and has the Fighting ability of A Champion, and he is also very knowledgeable about this sport. He is also very confident in his skills.
Well done Leon defended the belt just lovely top man onwards and upwards 👍
After Burns finishes Jorge he should be next
The biggest issue I have with Leon saying “ Colby just sat out for a year he don’t deserve a title shot” is that when they asked the other day if Conor Mcgregor, who only has Wins over Cowboy Cerrone & Nate Diaz at WW , we’re to win against chandler & challenge for a title , Leon said he’d be down , also You Think Jorge Deserves it Coming off of 3 losses Two against the man you just beat & The other against the man you JUST said hasnt done anything. Just had to point that out

McGregor is a money fight no one can deny. That being said I think a Colby fight would get him more money compared to Jorge... just more risky.
