We need to show him more love in the UK as an athlete. Doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Done the hardest thing in combat sports. And u barely hear anything. Hope he gets it done again this weekend. I believe in him
@@YSA13-3 that’s true but you also have to respect a man who is always authentic and doesn’t put on a facade to entertain others, I hear you I also like ppl like Conor but Leon talks with his fights.
One of the worst post interviews done he barely could make it interesting he just ain’t got that edge. Interesting fighter but boring personality. Glad he won against usman tho
As a brit to stay up till 5am seeing Leon 3-1 down and his coach sayin that to him then to literally last minute shin to neck and hearing YOU ALL DOUBTED ME, LOOK AT ME NOW nah bruvva I cried I felt everything he's always been a g 3rd time gonna be tough but I hope Leon got this even though usman and gaethje trained at me local recently 😭
Leon Edwards quickly became the best fighter in the welterweight division. He soldiered his way to the top. I really appreciate his stand-up because he’s had great significant strikes. His grappling should not be overlooked too. Thank you so much Leon Edwards for performing
@@youroldobesehomeboy267 in a place where the altitude is ridiculous and all the fighters were gassing out on that card that was Leon’s worst performance an still got it done and stilllllll !!!!
@Sony Emerson it's 12 now but originally 11 before the Usman fight so my bad there lol - Since Leon lost to Usman in 2015, he's won 11 fights since then.
becoming a bigger leon fan by the day, sounds like a great guy, built his mom her restaurant when he got more successful. Also a great fighter high level striker with great td defense. Hope he stays champ for long
@@Sam-ul1cg It was partly luck because it was in the 5th round, last option to do anything, and since he had nothing to lose he decided to try that kick that Usman could grab and take Leon to the ground. Remeber when Conor knocked out Aldo? Now that's a planned knock out. If you actually plan to do something, you don't wait till there's 1 minute left.

Leon is a fantastic fighter who took the toughest route to the title and deserves everything coming his way. More importantly, he seems like a profoundly decent guy. Congrats to him on last night's well fought win.
So happy for Leon Edwards, such a humble, respectful guy, what a stunning KO! The journey Leon had to get a title shot + the way he won, legendary 👏👏👏🦵 Thanks for having him on GQ 🙌
I wasn't sure if I'd like Leon as a champion, but I'm loving him as the champ. It's just refreshing and sweet to have a champ like Leon instead of an Usman or Woodman, who are cool but can be annoying as well.
He is an immigrant and he's not white so they don't care, Leon got booed the last time he fought in London and his opponent Gunnar Nelson who wasn't even British got cheered. Paddy Pimblett publicly said immigrants should not represent UK in sports.
@@TheMrBig8 bbc dont really push contact sports.

Not going to lie I thought Usman was going to win that second fight. I was pleasantly surprised when he landed that head kick. I hope he can pull it off again. I like this dude best of luck to him.

Man Leon was way more confident in the usman vs leon 3 fight than the previous, and him to win on a decision is very impressive.
was a bit worried about Usman's grappling-but he countered it
Leon Edwards the most aesthetic fighter
So ready for Saturday. Will be cheering for you Leon!
His post fight interview when he ko usman is my favorite post fight interview ever cold blooded
