    Connors recent tweet summed up Leon's win perfectly tbh. It was the EVERYTHING of the year. The timing of the commentary, the dominance of the champion, the record for undefeated streak on the line, the corner advice at the end of r4, the literal last minute head kick ko of a fight that he was about to lose, the post fight interview, the backstage footage of him on a call to his mum........Holy shit.

And then to see him as the first person in the cage to lift and congratulate Pereira on his last round title win, just amazing.

    Still gives me chills every time I hear Leon’s corner between round 4-5.

    8:00 "you got to pull this shit outta fire, Leon" out of fire he pulled.
    Most epic corner advice ever to pump your fighter. True Rocky shit.

    If you are an mma fan, this was the year of upsets and a year of some of the most insane match ups and turn outs. Absolutely amazing year for all us, and terrible year for Trevor Whitman. 😂

    I love Trevor Whitman, smiling Leon’s celebration even though his guy lost. He’s a legend and a true representative of mma
