John Anik cemented himself in history when he checked Joe with the "but that is not the cloth from which he is cut." GOOSEBUMPS
Agreed his timing of the line was so perfect
Facts
Fr man!
Jesus Christ Loves you all so much ❤ Turn to Him while you can , He can help you all with anything nothing is impossible for Him ❤ You are all Loved eternally ❤❤ Amen and Amen
whats crazy is that he knocked him out and didnt even bother attacking him, he knew he was out and thats just crazy
Jon Anik's call right before the knockout is legendary, Joe and DC were counting him out but Jon believed in strap season.
Facts… and it’s crazy cause Rogan and DC say all the time it’s not over till the last bell… like there has been some crazy come backs and out of all people they should know it’s never over till it’s over…and Jon anik saw that what a legend
Strap season has me geeking🔥
Strap Season Baby! 😅
That's why John Anik is legend and Joe should layoff weed and DC should hit the gym.
@@coltonmurphy8749I mean, back then it really looked like usman was coasting to another decision win
I love how when he is being interviewed by Joe he goes to lift up the belt to say champion of the world but as he does he knocks Joe but even the moment says "sorry Joe" quality human being! 👌
@@beaualoevv dude commenting hate with anything to do with leon. Seen you across multiple channels, please find something to channel this energy into you'll be great if you do.
Love from Brazil man! Leon champs!
Jesus Christ Loves you all so much ❤ Turn to Him while you can , He can help you all with anything nothing is impossible for Him ❤ You are all Loved eternally ❤❤ Amen and Amen
@@oofydoofy362 bro maxxed parry/block with the vibe of that comment
I could see this legendary kick 1,000,000 more times. So Beautiful.
Mee too brother
Lame👋🏼
@@BigsoldierMx cry some more 😂
HEADSHOT DEAD 💀💥
"I was born in Jamaica in a wooden shack....look at me now" that was so deep man. So proud of Leon. He proved everybody wrong, including me.
damn
Best headkick in UFC history. Absolutely surgical.
Gonzaga vs Cro Cop
@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381no
Chandler v Ferguson
Most iconic would be a better way to describe it. This one will never be forgotten.
My mom vs me for coming home after curfew! Surgical precision!
His coach said "you gotta pull this out of a fire"... He sure did.
the amount of times I’ve seen this KO on repeat, such a beautiful kick, goosebumps everytime
His corner is something else. His trainer pulling him out of the dark place and the other guy yelling at him mid round 'cross-head kick'
And Jon anik comment was ON POINT
“He may have resigned himself to losing”
*Knocks out Usman a second later*
Also I usually hate Anik with the burning passion of 10000 sun's but that was perfect timing "that is not the cloth from which he is cut".
@@beaualoevv its coming home
@@beaualoevv lol salty much, lil' fella?
He already rag-dolled and nearly submitted Marty Snoozeman in round 1. Sent the nigerian napper to lala land for the perfect finish. He'll do so again. 😎
@@siriusfun people always call fluke when their favorite fighter loses lol
@@beaualoevv Dont let him KNOCK YOU TF OUT SON Keep crying ISLAM and LEON ARE YOUR KINGS
Leon Edward not even trying for a follow up ground shots goes on to show how sure he was with the sniper head kick.
Ngannou would've smashed their lifeless corpse till the ref pulled him off.
@@JakeGittes84wtf does ngannou gotta do with a welterweight fight😭
@@darrianholland9030he’s not wrong though 😂
Ngannou tries to win the rematch by preventing it from happening through murder.
"Well come on then! What is wrong with you? YOU HAVE GOT TO PULL YOURSELf OUT OF THE FIRE!" Straight Rocky style man goosebumps
"Don't let him bully ya Rock, don't let him bully ya!" 🤣
4mins later head shot dead..
Usman is corny
i'd bully him
And still!!!!
Ok Luke "The Virgin" Murray
Is there a version without the music overlapping the commentary? This is probably the best few minutes of commentary in sport let alone this sport.
His story is movie worthy 💯
His nickname is Rocky as well lol
Most emotional first time belt in a while
Win lose or draw this Saturday, Edwards proved he is a champion, and showed you’re never out of a fight. What a great guy, what a story. Here’s to hoping he pulls out another W.
Where’s all the usman fans at ?
@@planetarybeat473 I think they jumped onto the Colby bandwagon.
I said it twice he would win. Made big money twice aswell
This is one of the best moments in sports history. I'm glad I got to see it live.
Everything bout this fight has become so legendary 🔥🔥
From Jon Anik's "not the cloth which he is cut from" to Dave's "dont let him bully you son and "what is wrong with you Leon" to Leon's actual "Look at me now"
And the headkick is not too shabby as well 😁
Jon Anik is a legend.
Why? You didn’t hear what he actually said did you lol. He was about to say that is rejected Leon.
“DONT LET HIM BULLY YOU SON!” 🤣
he doesnt know what he talking bout!!!
DONT LET HIM KNOCK YOU TF OUT SON 🤣
@@beaualoevv he’s done more than you could ever dream of soft lad 😉
@@beaualoevv BOW DOWN TO CHAMPION KINGS ISLAM AND LEON AND KEEP CRYING
@@beaualoevv Lightweight glass leg rat 🤣🤣🤣
Jon anik screaming “NO WAY” as the camera focuses on usman who is out cold with his eyes open has to be one of the most shocking moments in mma history
“look at me now” ❤
One of the best comeback ever. It shows heart and drive to never give up.
This headkick is forever cemented as the best headkick KO in ufc history.
No. That’s still the Terry Etem knockout.
Damn. Lightning strikes twice. Can't believe I missed it, congrats champ!
From the "Stop feeling sorry for your fucking self" to the "but that is not the cloth from which he is cut at all" this moment was mindblowing.
I love seeing Leon's brother rush tje cage and hug him.
And getting caught on the fence!
Best head kick ever .
Top 3 KO's of all time for sure!
Greatest knockout in history of UFC for sure
LETS GO LEON
The sound of that kick was absolutely brutal
Everybody needs a mentor and motivator like Dave Lovell in their life. Greatest moment of all time, in any sport.
you gotta understand how huge this moment is, he was losing the entire fight and knocked out the p4p best fighter in the world in the final round
His coach really bring him into the game.😮
Having a prople who believes in you can bring a 0 morale - 100.
I just love how he started celebrating and walking away well before Herb even got there like "yeah he's out for sure". Most fighters would still pounce and hammer as they're trained to do.
Imagining placing a bet for Leon KO right when the 5th rd started 😂😂
LOOK AT HIM NOW!!! TRULY INSPIRATIONAL STUFF
LOOK AT ME NOW!
U early
@@Señor_Ahmet actually first cant wait man, cant wait no more
I will look at him in less than 48 hours when his fame is over lmao. 😂
@@whiterabbit8243 salty marty lost again?
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 👏👏👏🦵
One of the best title wins in recent memory!
Gave me the chills.. one of the best comebacks of not the best and one of the most satisfying kos in ufc history this night he cemented his name in ufc history and produced a highlight KO that will stand the test of time… a real life rocky story…how fitting
@@coltonmurphy8749100% man, iconic
I will never ever forget this fight.
It was 6am in the morning in Europe and Edwards had a great first round, but got outclassed by Usman the rest of the fight until this fcking Headkick...
To this day, I never watched something with a suprise level like that again
Jeff Molina has the best head movement
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
That is according to his boyfriend. Maybe a bias source 🤣
@@lukemurray4950 😂😂😂
I can’t stop coming back to this fight and that moment. What a call, what a headshot. The Rocky nickname fits Leon and this fight perfectly
Interesting to see how Usman bounces back from that devastating KO loss to Leon in this rematch. I feel like once Leon fails to pull off another finish, Usman's most likely gonna win the fight by decision and regain the title.
uh oh…
Nah the altitude wasn’t a factor this time around Leon picked him apart
Tony hinchcliffe in the background celebrating when you see commentary’s reaction, he must like Leon😂
its also amazing how Usman is standing around as if hes not still knocked out, all he remembers is waking up in the ambulance, bros essentially sleep walking
Yeah kinda scary he looked hella confused and was prob wondering wtf just happened
yea doesn't even look like he's there, just gazing around@@ItsBlizz
Thank you for putting the highlight at the start of the video! 💪
At this point it's gotta be the most watched/ uploaded ufc knockout in history.
I knew Leon would win by head kick in london !!!!!!😮
This happend at about 1215AM on my 37th Birthday. (Aug. 21st/22) Thank you for the birthday present Leon! One of the greatest moments in UFC history. What a walk-off homerun shot!
Still remember watching this and I’ll never forget how everyone in the studio yelled at the same as Joe anik and dc. Phenomenal come back story. Then playing rockys theme as he exits was icing on the cake.
Sweet sleep!😅 Congratulations, champion!💪💥
As soon as Edwards faints a left low kick and Usman has no reaction to it, he instantly knows that the belt is right there for the taking. And camoflages the left kick with a nice jab to bait Usman out to dip his head and BOOM , blasts that left kick.
3:38 Lmao the guy with crutches just standing up
Good spot hilarious 😂
You can need crutches to walk a distance but be able to stand fine. 70 iq
Who’s here after Gaithje knocked Porier with the same kick
😂😂
One of the greatest moments in UFC history! Anik calling it perfectly just insane!
KOs with no follow up are thankfully rare, and I'm saying thankfully because these strikes inflict some serious brain damage, but damit are they so much more satisfying than TKOs.
This is why Leon Edwards’s has the best physique in the universe
see? Anik saying that is a ‘dejected’ version and BOOM!!! headkick!!!
“Sorry Joe” little moment but classy as hell
This is why Leon edwards has the most athletic physique
Herb Dean said “ oh sh*t ! 🏃🏾♂️“
I really don’t understand how people count him out so quick against Colby. He made an insane comeback in a fight he was losing by kicking one of the most dominant champions in history so hard, he had a thousand yard stare in his eyes. Then after that, comes back and dominates in the rematch to prove he’s the better fighter. It’s understandable that Colby is a scary matchup for any welterweight, but Leon has been looking absolutely spectacular since he’s joined the UFC. I don’t think the Colby fight is as bad of a matchup as people think. Leon’s definitely a better striker, his work in the clinch is very methodical and well thought out, and on top of that, his defensive wrestling had only been getter better and better. Colby doesn’t even deserve a title shot in the first place, but either way it’ll be a pretty even fight..
I think Leon is definitely the better striker, plus I fucking hate Colby. I really hope he whoops that ass. I think if Leon keeps it standing though, he's gonna put on a clinic. I see Colby diving for legs after he gets his face broken a second time.
@@mrmatches0619Here after Leon dismantled Colby
Pretty even. Leon dominated on the feet and even dominated on the ground.
This is the greatest moment in UFC history imo
tony screaming in the top left behind joes reactions lmao
Look At Me Now
This was like a fighting scene in a movie the last second and wins incredible moment one of the best ufc finishes I’ve seen I mean come on Leon was losing the whole fight and he connects with a good head kick to end it
The same technique used by gaetje to porier. So effective
That kick must have done some serious damage. I bet Usman was feeling that for a long time.
ROCKY!! ROCKY!! ROCKY!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Leon a welterweight legend!!
Best moment in UFC history.
He does this all the time in training. His teammates know him best. Which is why he’s called Rocky.
I remember being in the LR with my dad and cousins. Soon as usman fell my cousin literally ran out the living room in disbelief. My jaw was on the floor
Greatest knockout come back in ufc history 🎉🎉🎉
He follows it with “a dejected…” then the head kick landed.
I had a long day & I was laying in bed watching this fight. I fell asleep during the 2nd round. I can only imagine how it must’ve been witnessing this live
4:07 Gotta love Trevor Whitman. His champion just got knocked out for the first time, but he's loving seeing Leon have his moment.
Defending a fighter down 3.8 - 1 rounds with a minute to go is legendary
everytime i see this i get goosebumps!
That corner speech it’s as important as the KO
Much respect to these men 💯👊🏾
Fuck me that kick never gets old.
Seeing Leon’s movement from the 2nd to 3rd fight really does show how bad elevation can fuck fighters up. The ufc should never do events at places with high elevation again
Joe giving credit to Jon cemented it. Greatest ufc call ever.
You could see the feints in his leg, and his hands. Then he shows him the jab, and then kicks his head.
Usman is athletically gifted and skilled, but not an intelligent fighter. He should have known the kick was coming when Edwards switched his stance 3 seconds before it
Damn near the perfect recap... erase the music. Add Leons corner and leave Leons speech in full. Need it!
At 3:15 you can see Jon Anik completely missing the KO, looking away while Joe and DC reacts
Who’s here at the bar showing there friends how he won the championship
And you all got to collectively see how he lost it
He for a second
"What?!?! Again???"
By zooming in so much in the recording of the fight, fans lose the complete movements they make, they should record the camera a little further away. You can't see the leg movements if they zoom in so much.
He needs to give that belt to his coach and crew
as someone from the uk, watching this live didnt feel real.
I regret not watching the rest of round 5 because leon looking like he really gave up and just waiting for the clock to run out, and then 2 minutes later I saw comments and posts that leon koed usman, and went back to see leon doing that billi strut
I would’ve never let myself down for missing that 😂
Joe's eyes are going to Pop out....
Love never Fails 💖
i still remember the rush of seeing Usman fall to the ground. it felt like a dream.
That is not the cloth from which he is cut…….and folds him up in a lounge chair LIGHTS OUT! And Usman couldn’t except it then walks by him and not even shakes his hand. Best KO I have seen. Checkmate upkick.
That is not the cloth from which he was cut 🥶🥶
I love watching dc and joe durring kos.
