    One of the things that makes this so great is that Leon is always so reserved in every interview. To see him express himself with pure emotion after a from behind victory, against the danger that is Usman. Wow. Leon deserves every bit of his victory lap. Can't wait to see him and Bisping talk about this moment. It's become my favorite post fight interview ever.

      So happy for Leon. I predicted he gone win and it had to be by knockout. Didn't look good for him but glad he executed 1 of his game plan. I hated that fighters acted like they the best but still avoided him and as a pure mma fan I hated that Jorge and Colby talked so much shit without backing it up. Now they can't duck him. Hope he wins the rematch so he can beat all those guys plus give nate and Bilal a rematch and establish himself as on of the greatest

    My favourite UFC moment ever. Leon is a softly spoken guy who finally let his emotions out when he won. I love the way he gives the whole interview looking into the camera & I think that’s one of the reasons this interview connects with so many people, but that’s only one of the reasons, as there’s many more. Leon seems like a great role model and proof that if you have a goal and work hard it’s possible to better yourself. “LOOK AT ME NOW!!!”. Peace x

You had the whole Caribbean, the whole UK and lots of the world with you Leon. The funny ting was they was all cheering Usman, Usman at start. But at the end, was all Rocky, Rocky chants. You switched a whole arena, a whole crowd over to you my lad. The greatest UFC moment for so many of us. When i sae that kick land and Usman just go dead mode, I was still waiting for some f@ckeries to happen. When it sank in, I was in tears for real!!
