    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.

    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.

Leon's takedown defence is next level and the striking so precise and had power behind way more shots than Usman even if the total strikes were close (idk the numbers) He was losing the 3rd and the cage grab was a fair loss of point but he didn't leave it to chance. 4 rounds to 1 48-46.

    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

    @@lewis9728 oh definitely no crying here. Honestly I'm not a fan of either one and wasn't really looking forward to the main event as much as I was the co-main event. 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. I definitely didn't like it when he got sucker punched by Masvidal. Whatever though. I'm looking forward to next week's fight card 👍

    @@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)
