This is a brutal sport but you have to love the legitimate heartwarming moments, and we got two legendary ones on one night.

So I've always been drawn towards him. I'll never be the man that Leon is, but goddam am I jealous of the things he's achieved and his relationship with his coach.

I been defending Leon this whole time but all the casuals and haters just overlooked his skills because of his quiet personality, the fact that he didn't "beat" anyone and the Nate Diaz punch. Meanwhile guys like Islam get hyped up for beating journeymen like Hooker and Drew Dober at best. The fact that most people overlooked the fact he's the best striker at 170lbs is absurd. He's one of the best striker on the roster currently, but no one wanted to listen. And now they the same ones cheering for him 😂.

It’s not about money or fame, it’s much more about loyalty and nobility. Dave Lovell is a man of honor. Even he was watching Usman how he was looking at Leon and how he was behaving to scare him by playing the little big brother role. Leon is too nice for this world, it’s a good and bad quality. Leon has to show the world the Leon „Lion“ FACE AND POWER. Next fight, Leon has to bring the Hooligan Energy. Leon is super talented and has great team.
