“LOOK AT ME NOW” man that’s was powerful

Kamaru's whole career changes based off this. No more Anderson Silva win streak. No more Canelo fight and definitely no more 205 aspirations. Tougher argument for GOAT status too. Feel for him, but Leon bided his time and kept putting in work silently as the dark horse of the division for a while. He executed when he needed to most and he deserved to win tonight. Fair play.

Daniel cormier, dominic cruz and now kamaru. That left high kick's been sending wrestlers to the shadow realm

Leon came and trained at my MMA gym few days, in SLC West valley, At Gladiator Fight Academy, him and his Crew are very respectful, great people.

For those saying Edwards got lucky landing that left leg kick perfectly on Usmans jaw, go ahead and try landing one on a professional mma fighter who has blocked thousands of leg kicks in their career both in training and in fights. "Good luck is when preparation meets opportunity." Edwards was prepared and when the opportunity showed itself, he didn't miss.

To those that where saying for the longest time now, that some of us where sleeping on Leon Edwards, congratulations that head kick woke us TF up 🤯

What a comeback KO

Love seeing Leon finally getting the respect he deserves 🙌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Reminded me of when Anderson Silva was losing to Chael and submitted him in the 5th. Usman was supposed to pass Silvas win streak tonight too. How poetic.

That head kick smacked so hard it took DC back to that dark place in life he was once in

Leon had a lot on stake too. If he lose, he would be nobody and lose all his leverage (if he has much now)

Usman is the first to go directly from P4P to the Ghost Club.

Juiceman will double his EPO for the comeback 💉

What a night this was congrats Rocky

DC and Linda both smiling like they want a cheeseburger

Greatest KO of all time

Usman really made this tough for himself. He’s been so cocky lately, the way he dresses and how he talks, the way he called out Canelo, and how he talked about fighting at 205. What makes this even worst is he didn’t just lose, he got knocked stiff by a guy he already beat who isn’t a big name in the division. That ko loss will be a highlighted ko forever and no matter what he does from this point it will live on. And at 35 years old I don’t know if he can come back and beat enough guys to erase that memory from peoples minds.

Respect to both. Congrats to the new champ. I think I’m combat sports there so much emphasis on that 0 and being perfect. No one’s perfect. It takes a lot of skill AND some luck to be undefeated for so long in the UFC. As you can see, one mistake can make some fans completely forget about all the work you’ve done in your career. If you fight long enough it’s bound to happen

No rematch needed Leon Vs khamzat at Wembley

That's the kind of ko that changes a fighter.. A destroyer of chins, so to speak!

Reporter: "Hi Daniel please tell us how did edwards landed that exact head kick that Jon Jones landed on you?"

Daniel Cormier legenda ufc

you literally hear leons corner yell out "head kick" a second before leon threw the kick...reaction time was insane. beautiful!

I was going for Leon Edwards till the end and thought he would just survive but That Head Kick, was Surreal in real Time. Congrats to the New Champ.... 🏆 Rocky.... 👊

DC is such a great analyst

lmao DC has the most genuine happy smile on this clip

Beautiful combination at the right time it’s how usman comes back if he wins it’s just a lucky shot if dude wins again he officially dethroned the goat getting comfortable and losing hunger is something only a loss can fix

Usman will win the rematch but this loss destroyed his win streak that's gotta hurt bad, Leon is proof that sometimes all you need is that one hit.

Anyone saying he got "lucky" with that kick probably just lost money... I can't say he was "setting it up" the whole fight bc I can't prove that. All I know is about midway during the first Usman-Covington fight I swear I kept saying he's open for that kick. Colby couldn't pull it off, either fight, he tried early on but after trying Usman recognized it. Leon gave nothing away, left hand he slips it, never saw the kick coming. It was a rookie mistake tbh. But a sniper only gets one shot, make it count. He did.

I was rooting for Leon for such a long time. He's arguably the most well rounded mma fighter in the division. But let's be totally honest here. Usman dominated that fight. And knocked out because of one second of carelessness. Let's not write him off. He's been an amazing champion. He can easily come back. Wrestle Leon to death. It's crazy to me that people are writing him off. Loses don't matter in the UFC

Dude. It was the right button combination, at the exact time, to a head kick victory.

Dc is a man of heart. The thumbnail says everything

I blinked then saw Usman falling towards ground & the Edwards had won. wow what a crazy fight. Beats all odds never gave up. ❤️

love seeing Marty take a nap

Fighting brings out all emotions more than anything

Great fighter, great transition to broadcasting!

Bruh just IMAGINE somehow Nate beats Chimaev on September 10th. That would COMPLETELY ROAST ALL the plans the UFC had set in place LOL

It's the last time we saw confident Usman. His glory days are over.

That was a picture perfect head kick. Congrats Leon.

What a moment!

And they said he could beat Jiří Procházka lol.

It should also age well for the rematch that Leon did extremely good the first round so when they fight again there is an even better chance Leon comes out on top

Never give up!.... congrats champ!

The Nigerian Nightmare had a nightmare tonight. Dude was looking through the stars while also astro travelling🚀🌌🌌

*He gotta Win 15 in a Row again* 😭

Chubs is salty his boy lost 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Probably brought back flashback for DC I wish ESPN would use someone else besides DC

Humble pie served.

Be funny af if the girl was like "I got DC here to relive his own experience of getting head kicked"

What a great finish for Leon I'm super happy for this man such a struggle in the fight almost fading then kicks Usmans head off! What a spectacular finish. I'm in tears of joy for leon. So so happy for him and his family!! God bless him.

I was shocked seeing Kamaru go down like that. To Leon it was like Now or Never. Beats he was losing the fight. I really felt like Leon lost faith, but he was able to win and props to the 2 guys.

haha his smile is contagious at the start.

I had Kamaru winning that fight score wise till the last 55 seconds. Amazing, truly amazing. I don’t think he should be taken out of the goat question quite yet. It definitely wasn’t a fluke KO, but I’m not convinced Leon beats him again.

Third fight at Wembley will be another level

I'm still lost for words that was wild man lol

Shout out to both fighters, Leon rocky mountains Edwards, nothing comes before its time. Thank you for the ko, and for convincing the world that you are now ready to be hunted by the other lions of the division.

It's crazy how y'all all saying Usman deserved it and he was getting too cocky. Oh his time is over but nobody says anything about Conor. Usman has been dominant and he was winning that fight. U can say it wasn't luck and how Edwards set that kick up perfect but for it to happen when it did and how Usman basically ran into it was a little lucky too

Adriannnnnn

Patience is key.

Cormier knows all about those headkixks

Cormier saying Usman deserves an immediate rematch because of his dominance and yet he didn't do that for Stipe. Joke

Usmans motivation is gonna take a punch. Hopefully he's been humbled.

Daniel's smile is the definition of trolling.

Leon Look At Me Now Edwards ! Big congrats

I mean it was kind of lucky but sometimes you need luck. In the first round, Edwards looks great. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, look terrible for Edwards. Sometimes you need a lucky kick. If he can use his size he will be the best, if not he will lose again which I predict. I bet the rematch will go down to a decision and Usman will win. So yet nobody wins.

@ 0:21 down 3-1 and losing the 4th? It's was the 5th round he was losing DC

He beat the fence grabbing, fake low blow calling cheater 🔥🔥🔥

Dana 'the Promoter' was saying the weathers not good in England...trying to get the price down already :)

“He gOt LuCkY!” A fight is a fight, pure and simple. You don’t let your foot off the gas, and you come in ready for everything. It’s not over til the bell rings, remember it.

Usman needs to wait 7 years and retool just like he made Leon. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

This man had more to say he gotta smile 😃 on his face 😂

"HEAD SHOT DEAD" "THAT'S IT" 💪🏽

Ain’t no way Usman beating Khamzat 😂

Usman will get 6 months for that KO loss. So Edwards is supposed to wait?

Hurt to see that, but loved his literal rocky moment. Think if khamzat starches Nate skip immediate rematch because usman will need at LEAST 8 months after that. I’d guess he’d take a year. But if Leon wants the aljo route go ahead.

D.C knows how that head kick feels.. D C: I can relate 🥴

Losing the 5th you meant!

Usman will get an immediate rematch, otherwise Colby Covington would be the happiest man on the planet.

crazy finish 😱

Cor imagine a ufc Wembley event, Leon coming home as champion, return of aspinall hopefully, tills return, Allen, paddy, bisping on the commentary, unbelievable atmosphere…

That concussion was serious! I pray there's no long term damage by such a insane head kick from the shin bone of Leon 🙏🏽💯 Serious brain trauma is no joke 😵

Usman took very large breaks between his title defense. But now he lost he will quickly fight. That is very selfish. I think he should fight winner of nate vs khamzat first. Edward is the new king now. Let him enjoy his glory.

The dragon was missing a scale in one particular spot, Leon fired the arrow that met its mark.

that kick remind to that one when jones throw it on dc.

It means Colby Covington gets that belt!

GUARANTEE Usman gets his belt back in the rematch👌

D.C should just come on screen for half a second to just say Damm everytime

This is great for the sport.

Usman corner was like: "no need to grapple in 5th round just go out there and beat him up because Leon is tired"🤷🏾‍♂️🇯🇲😀. That was a terrible advice

Usman is gonna kill him next fight lol rs , he got lucky wit that kick he wasn’t even trying to win the fight he really gave up and got lucky runnin thru the motions rs . I respect him tho but that’s my honest opinion.

I’m so happy asf !!! Lets go

Love seeing Linda Cohn back

NBA top 3 greatest player Lebron Kareem Jordan

beautifully said daniel cormier 👏👏👏

“Headshot. Done.”

Congratulations🎉🍾🍾🍾

Leon the dark horse of the divison The one who works in the shadows and keep getting stronger slowly He overtuned the odds in his favor slowly when nobody was watching biding his time knowing he can finish the fight anytime he was just waiting for the right Time and what a time to achieve this knocked him out cold in the last minute of the 5th round Wow nothing gets better than that Kudos to Leon edwards and thanks for an amazing fight and showing a great example of power grit and determination there

I can't believe this match up

What an Emotional Night, Sheesh!! I'm happy for LE, you can tell it was a long time coming getting this championship strap. Tears from the octagon to back stage. Usman will be fine. LE needed this. 2 Humble Champions left that octagon, imo.

It sucks to lose that way, when you are dominating in control by far the better man and bam one hit its over
