DC’s shirt buttons are the real main event
That comment made my night. Lmao
Ain’t no way DC came on camera with his shirt that tight
Fr
😂
U gotta chill😂😂😂
It probably wasn't that tight when he left the house😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In terms of striking, Leon landed way more significant and harder strikes than Usman. It was very hard for Usman to take Leon down and even when he did get Leon down, he couldn't even hold him down.
Usman doesn't have submission game.
Usman doesn't have a submission game or a striking game. Plus his knees and legs are gone. He needs to retire before he seriously gets hurt
Its not like that,usman is finished.
Leon is a technical fighter.
Usman is a great wrestler with power in hands. But power will land to guys like masvidal who was taunting usman in that fight like it won't hurt him,masvidal is very good standup fighter but he is less technical than leon. Leon have good kick also.
Leon worked so much on grappling. Usman doesn't have ground games too means he can lay but gnp,submission nothing.
Khamzat will have hard time wrestling usman but he can knock him out. Usman is now gatekeeper of 170 pound div,its official.
ALL USMAN FANS ARE A BUNCH OF CAUSALS WHO STARTED WATCHING AFTER HE KNOCKED MASVIDAL OUT TYPICAL AFRICAN AMERICAN FRUITY MEN. WE BRITISH BLACKS ARE SMARTER STRONGER AND BETTERrrr

DC’s buttons fighting to stay together deserves FOTN
Agreed 😂 I love DC but those shirt buttons deserve a fight of the night bonus hahahaha
Dc don’t like Leon because he says headshot dead and that gives him flashback of jones 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't stand d.c. what a piece of s***
🤡
Lowkey but it’s showing lol
DC shirt buttons fighting for their lives
Takes somebody's eye out if one pops. Watch it Bisping.
Those buttons getting beat worse than Fiziev's face
What are yall talking about....
Clearly...
He is PREGNANT 😆
😂
DCs gut winning a 10-7
Life comes at you fast usman was literally 1 minute and some change away from closing that chapter on Leon Edwards for good last fight, to losing two fights in a row to Leon and most likely not getting another title fight until that belt is out of Leon’s hands.
Nothing worse than what happened to Yan
That one perfect kick, changed history.
@@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437 Yan is on a rough skid. Still a great fighter but no longer the boogeyman of the bantamweight division. Hope he can turn out around, but he’ll keep putting on exciting fights no matter what
@@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437 or tony
He could get another shot. But he'd likely have to beat Khamzat and the winner of Belal vs Shavkat... and that's a tough 2 fights at his age.
Why does nobody consider that Leon might have won the 3rd round after the point deduction, leaving it at 9-9? So many of these guys just chalk that up as 10-8 Usman, but it was a close round and Leon finished it stronger
He def won that 3rd round only round usman won was 4
I think 2 of the judges had Rd 3 as 9-9
100%
Leon definitely won this fight even with a point deduction.
I agree, but fact is Usman is still affected by their last fight and ko
Daniel Cormier pulling every muscle in his body to defend Kamaru Usman
And Justin gaethje said bisping was being bias and usman won
How ironic he's friends with dc
DC rarely sees beyond his biases
Usman is terrible. DC is salty, nothing new.
i loved that that
and every button on that shirt 😇
Brett was spot on
Leon is incredibly fast and he waits for the right time. I still have a lot of respect for Usman.
Same, rooting for Leon but hope Usman remains amongst the top WW’s
@@TheNaz1996 Respect!
Dc belly have a belly
Usman a g. Just Leon levels better
I still don't respect usman
Let's be honest Leon pieced Usman up for most of the fight
4-1 Leon. Comfy win for the champ 👑
Daniel was clearly emotionally invested in Usman the whole fight.
DC's shirt buttons deserve Performance of the Night
😂😂😂
Sea Level Leon
DC so salty that his buddy Usman lost. Brett had it spot on
okay lncel
you’re unemployed so
I rather watch paint dry than hear Brett conduct and interview but this time I agree
He's always like that...a commentator should not b biased
What gave you that insight? 🤣🤣
I have to agree Leon Edwards' coach is very smart to seeing what adjustments needs to be made.
DC looks hammered
😂😂😂
Look at that belly 😂😅😅
Very clear decision for Edwards, dominant performance by the champ
Was it unanimous I'm just coming in and finding out what's going on I originally had Edwards winning by knockout and two rounds I know that was a stretch but that's just what I felt at the time
@@grunt9131 majority decision - 2 had him winning one had a draw
Leon simple proved that Usman wasn't that great to begin with. Now everyone is finally waking up. Colby and Jorge are journeyman, simple. Usman had the easiest run against washed up fighters.
I don’t think it was a clear decision. It was definitely close. From everyone I talked to, it looks like roughly 50% had it Leon and 50% had it Usman. I’ve been watching fights since around 2006, and I had it a draw. But with these types of close fights, I could see it going either way. We should all rewatch it to make sure we know what we saw. I know I will.
ALL USMAN FANS ARE A BUNCH OF CAUSALS WHO STARTED WATCHING AFTER HE KNOCKED MASVIDAL OUT TYPICAL AFRICAN AMERICAN FRUITY MEN. WE BRITISH BLACKS ARE SMARTER STRONGER AND BETTERrrr
I think kamaru's fighting shavkat or khamzat next. Won't that be fun?
Time for Usman to box Canelo
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂 too late
People will try as hard as possible to discredit Leon. He grabbed the fence for one takedown but what about all the takedowns that he stuffed fair and square?
Eye poke, nut shot 2x, CRITICAL fence grab. Alot of cheating happened but I don't think any of it changed the outcome. The fence grab was bad tho. Usman had him turned to the center away from the fence. I don't think Usman would have done too much with it once on the ground.
Arguably the most shameful performance in a championship fight cheating wise. Just blatant cheating
Usman is a cheat himself, if we were the ones in there there would be things we would do 100% that’s fighting, what’s your excuse for all the take downs defended after the point deduction where after no cheating took place and Leon was even more dominant
@@Jp-od7sv Leon wasn’t more dominant. He was on his bike the last 2 rounds. You couldn’t tell from Buspings meat riding. When did Usman cheat in this fight? All four timeouts were due to Leon
ALL USMAN FANS ARE A BUNCH OF CAUSALS WHO STARTED WATCHING AFTER HE KNOCKED MASVIDAL OUT TYPICAL AFRICAN AMERICAN FRUITY MEN. WE BRITISH BLACKS ARE SMARTER STRONGER AND BETTERrrr
Usman didn’t do enough to win. Leon won 1,4,5. Usman 2. Even 3. Leon connected with now damaging shots, stopped usman being his usual self
Yeah, two judges had it 48-46, and I think that was the right score.
It was definitely a close fight and I was rooting for Usman to beat/dominate Leon and regain the title by decision, but Leon hands down has beaten Usman in this trilogy matchup, landing the more significant and damaging shots and showed good takedown and wrestling defense and ability to quickly scramble back up when taken down
What did you make of team dc commentary
The drug cheat got schooled, it’s the least he deserved
Head shot dead 💀
DC has Uncle Fester's body now.
Hahaha
DC drunk AF. Love it
Dc Drunk and Full of Wings
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
Leon was ON POINT Saturday! No shame in losing to a guy who fought like that.
How much does this team work? They go from pre-fight interviews to working during fights, to post-fight, to this close-out. Crazy stamina!
Whenever Usman fought and DC was in Commentator boot he was always with Usman giving him all the credits and when Usman landed a shot he will often make it very loud and clear. For example, when Usman and Colby fought for the first time. He was so invested in Usman that it became difficult for him to judge the fight and not be biased. The disappointment in his face doesn't lie.
I agree with Brett....Leon dominated this fight...Kamaru looked like an old lion🦁It is a new era⾾ Leon is the best welterweight on the planet🌎🍾🥂
Performance of the night goes to DC's buttons
Fight of the night
Drunk and fat DC 😂😂😂
Kamaru was not the same fighter this time around... Nobody really is after they go to sleep like he did in the second fight.
I don't think it was that...I think elevation played a part in the last fight, and he(Usman) thought he could just do the same things. He's evolved as far as he could..his game plan didn't work. His game plan with Colby was the only fight where he really kept is all standing, and he did that twice, even after getting pieced up by Colby in certain rounds. I'm not arguing that the kick wasn't in the back of his mind, but that's why he was constantly trying to raise his arm up when the kicks came. I think if Leon really trained for the elevation in the previous fight we would've seen a different fight. Leon was tired by the second round, after having Usmans back the whole first round.
Wanna see Justin vs Dustin II. Winner gets next title shot after winner of Oliveira/Dariush
Leon had all the answers for everything Usman did. He landed, a well planned, lucky kick the first fight!
Second fight
"Lucky" kick.... OK bud.
Father Time + the previous KO I knew after the first round he wasn’t the same Usman.
Never imagined leon can beat Usman by decision.
People tend to forget… 35 vs 32 plus a KO make a huge difference.
Yh
I think it was mostly the the previous KO. Usman was scared and when the wrestling didn’t work he couldn’t do anything
Just like Floyd used to say.. "If you gonna beat the champ, you gotta BEAT the champ." No close fights and cant leave it up to the judges..
Different sport. Hardly any fighters in MMA actually feel that way. It’s just a carryover sentiment from boxing. Teddy Atlas made that statement a few months back in a post fight show and Bisping and others roasted him for it. Lol
@@BeauTylerMakesMusic then why does it come down to 1 take down or ground control time? That is a general statement that applies to all combat sports.
My God DC is so biased towards certain fighters. It’s so annoying hearing him when he is commentating and one of his boys is fighting
Is it me or does Brett actually have a personality in this interview?
A girl around often brings the best in you
Edwards is about to get paid. Help your mom with her restaurant. Get ready for Colby!
You can tell when these commentators hate to see the people who they want to win lose because listening to Daniel he know Leon won but won't admit it..
Did you hear Bisping at all lol
He said Leon won multiple times in this interview
them buttons on dc's shirt stronger than usman's double hand grip
I don't understand Dana...what happens when your GOAT gets beaten twice in a row by the same fighter?
People say he wouldn’t get lucky twice … now what?! He wasn’t lucky tonight, he was better. End of. Now everyone jumping on Colby’s D to stop Leon 😂
Leon attacked the legs! And that and separating the hands were the key to victory ✌️
And fence grabbing lol
@@henrydooley9632 yea we had to get one back after usman did it so many times.
DC’s standing like he’s got a bad back trying to keep us from seeing his shirt is way too small 😅
DC button projectiles incoming to cameraman head ......
okamoto showing his guns
Brett wants him to retire ..what is wrong with this man. So every champ if they lose needs to retire. Does he remember Glover.
7:42 Get a partner who looks at you the way Olivi looks at Okamoto.
I feel bad for that woman standing there, Cormier doesn’t even acknowledge her 😂 like why is she there
Some American bias from DC. Leon won that fair and square
DC’s gut grows larger every PPV
I wanna see Masvidal vs Leon!!
Why? Masvidal has zero chance of winning.
@@eljaroebeukes5118 I think people just want to see the drama more than the fight.
Masvidal would get starched. I think Colby deserves a shot.
Leon worked harder to win than the last button on DC’s shirt.
Regardless if I don't like Leon, to be the Champ you have to knock out the champ. Period. Leon won.
Hahaha what?!😂😂
What? You’ve never watched MMA
@@henrydooley9632 I mean he’s right you gotta knockout the champ to be the champ not that many fighters have beat a champ in Decision
Leon won 4 rounds and how it was close.
@@abhisekbhattarai1583 gotta be British
I was rooting for Leon but mad respect to Usman, an end of an Era but god please don't let Kamaru go on a losing streak like Woodley . Hope he comes back with win and retire .
Man DC is always biased to his guys...DC need to put his emotional quotient aside....this fight was not as close as Islam vs Volk but he was ok with it and had a clear winner wen majority of people couldn't know who would win...DC is gud man but a biased commentator..he need to change that
Lol everyone's slightly bias
Somebody tell DC he should've kept that blazer on.
Usman Vs Chimaev
If it is just about selling PPV, I would prefer Conor over Colby for title shot.
no
You're just a Conor fan. I mean AC you're a whole Air Conditioner
Daniel’s shirt got a fight bonus.
DC shirt gonna headshot someone
Usman himself has said he's got 2 fights left in him, and given his age, what's he going to do? Sit out and wait for Edwards to get beat and then jump back in? Any fight he takes in the meantime will tick off what he's got left in him and make it less likely he will make another run at #1.
Usman looked subpar compared to his previous fights
DC so unbelievably biased it’s tough to watch sometimes
The problem with the ufc in-between rounds is they won't always show the best highlights and usually its equal 2-2 highlight for each fighter even though the other fighter coulda had more moments its makes it seem closer of a fight than it actually is
Brett has great camera awareness for being on ESPN...
I scored round two for Usman, but I’m not upset with the result. Looks like goat status is off the table for the nightmare 😢
This fight is technically 3-2 Leon. Legs kicks, more significant, takedown defenses, very concentrated effort. Leon did a great job controlling his range and making Usmans striking look lack luster. But if anyone think Usman won, I won’t be silly and say your a casual. I just want to know what you’re basing it off of.
Party pooper DC as always
Standing them up after the fence grab was criminal. Big John said it was the wrong thing to do. Take the point and put him back on the ground. You cant just do the foul and get moved to the position you want
Welp too bad Dana said Colby is next 100% already. Danna gonna force Leon to fight like Usman did every 3-4 months. Endless Leon becomes a superstar then Dana will let him do whatever he wants.
Feel bad for Megan there acting like she’s not even standing there 😂
I thought I was the only one who noticed that!
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂🤣🤣😆😆💀💀💀🎯
I agree with Brett 12/4,and 5 Leon!
Daniel 2 Hands to one on the take downs!
DC is absolutely devastated 😂😂
Honestly I still want to see Leon vs misvidal
DC shirt holding on for dear loife 😅
Megan Olivi looks like she’s about to go deadlift her husband.
"I don't have a problem" DC - yeah, of course you don't
Masvidal & title shot in the same sentence is egregious. He's lost 3 in a row, hasn't won a fight for 4 years
Gabriel Santos in Early Prelim is going to be a problem in the featherweight division to come. He lost, but looked very very skilled. He going to come humble and more concentrated in his next fights, and watch out
He won that fight. That result was some home cooking.
@@mrspiff6955damn you think he won? I can’t be mad at that. He looked good but it looked as if he got complacent to me. His confidence coming down to the ring showed it all. I don’t think he took Murphy serious and let it slip out of his hands. He’ll show up next fight though.
Someone gonna get shot when those buttons give way in DC’s shirt.
I don’t have an issue with either scorecard from DC or Brett. I had it 47-47 with the 2nd and 3rd going to Usman. But the 2nd could have easily gone to Leon bc it was a close round with him landing slightly cleaner again in the round.
Leon defence was great,,,kamara was probably putting on pressure,,but he was missing so much
I honestly believe it was 49-46 without the fence grab
Colby is EASILY the most UNDESERVING and ENTITLED "fighter" in UFC history!
So beating a journeyman and sitting out a year warrants a title shot these days?! 😆 🤣 😂
Uhhh, yes
He lost to 1 person in 6 years
You nailed it!!
@@XxXTank9000 his last 3 wins are over Lawler, Woodley and Masvidal who have a COMBINED record of 4-14 in their last 6 fights! His last fight was over a year ago and over a journeyman! You honestly have to be the BIGGEST D-RIDER to think he deserves it over Burns or Belal
facts
Leon made it a sort of a kick boxing fight and he his the better kickboxer.
Megan, as Always, you're Professional, Precise, & Pretty, and Brett Okamoto, you & DC make great points / counter theories; Usman could hang them up or go to another weight class, or if Leon loses the Belt, to DC's point he could be back in the mix; He
may have to take on @ least 1 of a bundle of contenders, minus the 3 he defeated as
Champion: Wonder Boy, Vicente, Neal, Shavkat, or Belal: but they're matching him up w/ Shavkat, but that could change; They will probably give Usman the courtesy & talk to him, then go from there; GREAT Analysis by Everyone.
Too cold. They are trying to get out of there.
Ol' Bret' arms sitt'n tighter in that shirt than DC's belly😅
I would love to punch Bret Okomoto right in the face and give him 1-2 combination to his beta boy who doesnt even know how to fight doing media with the most violent sport in the world how many more weasels will the UfC hire? Why does dana keep doing this my lord
Usman has slowed down - he looked like a fighter coming off a really bad ko - the headshot ko has done so much damage to Usman both mentally & physically
So for all the people who think Usman won name one significant thing that Usman did the entire fight? Usman literally had no effective offense the entire fight.
I didnt get to see it 😢
Leon is the pound by pound #1
Anyone that has to fight Leon/ championship tile should face Usman . He must be still #1 .
And that's why Colby should not be next for Leon, Usman beat him twice over and convincingly so.
Leon changed exactly what balyum from mmaonpoint said he needed to change to win this fight
Usman is done.
How is he done this because he lost
He’s still 1 at welterweight and the gate keeper of the champ. Unless someone below him beats him, he can still fight
I think so too. He's done all he could. Give them knees a rest
He should retire or fight one more time and call it
