    For me, Leon's win was one of the greatest moments in all of sports history. Leon having a tough as hell upbringing and losing his father at a young age, him earning a title fight and then being down 3-1 against the P4P #1 and the last guy to beat him, his coaches speech to fire him up, Rogan and DC writing him off and Anik saying "that's not the cloth from which Leon is cut", the headkick with 1min to go and then the passion in Leon's post fight speech. That is the kind of stuff you only see in movies!

From his personal history, to the rivalry, to usmans legacy-making, to the way the fight started, to the way it started going, to the commentary, to the between-round cornering, to the mid-round cornering, to the kick, to the commentary again, to every single part of his post-fight speech, to him crying on the phone to his mother; Every second is a picture perfect moment that comes together into one singular event that shook up everything in the sport and leaves me breathless.

    I've seen the KO live, re-watched it probably 50+ times, and still Embedded found a way to add it all up in such a way that it gives me chills. Absolutely over the moon for Leon, I hope he defends it this Saturday.

    Every time I see Leon celebrate this win, I get downright misty. From the coach's corner speech, to the post fight speech.
    " Pound for Pound?! Headshot dead!" to "I told you Mom!!!"
    I love Usman too, but this was so special a moment.

    Man, Leon's coach speech hit differently to me, I was always holding myself to a high standards before and I think I was always winning. But these past few years I always find myself in a shitty situation (mom's and dogs passing, hating my career, family dispute, financial problems, f*cking hating my life and I was just trying to survive). I was always feeling sorry for myself ever since, and this speech and Leon winning the title gave me hope that I can bounce back, man we almost have the same name. Thank you, and I will try to get out of this hole.

      The slow fusion into a singular sport. UFC fights will incorporate Power Slap into the rules.
      The winner of each round will get a Power Slap to start the beginning of the following round. Fighters may defer their slap to the next round but if they lose the following round they also lose their accumulated power slaps. Finally any fouls committed that result in a point being taken will award the opponent a power slap to use in the following round only.
      Dana White is a visionary…
