"He's a great competitor but a dirty human being" spoken like a champ!!! Well done Leon rooting for the real life Rocky

There's something heartbreaking about seeing one of the most dangerous men in the world almost break down crying in regards to the comments made about his father being murdered. It's the fight game but comments like that are just unacceptable. Colby lost a ton of respect not only from his performance but also from his comments.

“A dirty human being”. Way to keep it simple and factual about Colby. Pure class shown by Leon by keeping his composure.

Anyone who’s lost their dad, or any parent understands his pain in this interview.

Seeing Colby get outclassed was money well spent.

Colby embarrassed himself in front of the whole world.

Leon was 13 years old when his father was murdered... arguably the worst age to lose a father. I'm so glad he was able to humiliate and beat Colby in the ring. Hopefully Leon wins his next fight to break the win streak record.

Bro earned a fan not only by his performance but by the way he humbly handled that situation. True champ. Respect.

Leon is so humble, he even stopped his corner from making a drama in the ring. Didn't insult Colby but just facts for saying he's a terrible human being.

I can’t even imagine the type of internal fortitude and strength it took to stay composed to execute a game plan against the guy who would say something so unthinkably cruel about your deceased father, just to sell a fight. Edwards has all of my respect.

This is what a real man looks like. Not afraid to cry in front of a crowd!!!

The fact that Leon still praised him Colby as a good fighter shows how much of a humble good person he is

“He’s a great competitor, just a dirty human being” perfectly sums up Covington.

Leon is a true champion. He didn’t take the bait. He stayed composed and got the job done. He also showed that he’s a true mixed martial artist. Very well rounded mentally strong fighter.

My condolences to Colby Covington's father. I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a son, for Leon Edwards is now Colby's new daddy.

Absolute class from Leon. “Dirty human being”. Spot on. Passing off gross disrespect as entertainment shouldn’t be celebrated, got what was coming to him.

Leon just used Colby as a sparring partner to train his wrestling... In the title fight😂. I don't think there can be a bigger disrespect to a NCAA wrestler.

So happy for Leon

Wow how classy is Leon Edwards? What a champion, nobody would of questioned him if he did respond in any derogatory manner but he didn't and didn't let his team either. HUGE RESPECT!! 👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Leon Edwards is pure class, humble, and still stayed,cool,calm and collective

And with that, Colby cements his legacy as the guy that stuttered through pressers and never got it done, no more free title shots 😎

Bro just casually matched two of the best wrestlers in UFC history back to back with ease

I really felt for Leon when he started breaking down, because that is truly something horrible to deal with. My dad is still with me and just the thought of anything like this happening to him makes me feel a despair that is impossible to describe. I can't even imagine how Leon must've felt during all of this. I'm so happy he won.

"Still breaks my heart to this day " is powerful man even with the belt and money success he still wants to see his dad and gets emotional about it losing a parent must be so much harder then it seems

I stood awake until 5 am for this, and even though the fight was a bit disaapointing, seeing edwards beat him was amazing. Good beats evil

“just a dirty human being”. Nailed it there.

I'm honestly so impressed by how well Leon handled the comments about his father. I lost my father to lung cancer and if anyone ever said a bad word about him I'd probably be catching an assault charge. I look up to this man for his composure and self control.

absolutely love Leon Edwards man, proper guy so much respect for hes craft, hes journey and how he carrys himself in and out of the octagon. Jamaica and England can be very proud to have a champion like this represent the country

Colby 'cautious' Covington

Leon is savage as heck to react the way he did in regards to Colby speaking on his dead father. That is a strong man in every dimension.

Was already a leon fan after his first usman win, but much bigger now. Legend, humble and classy.

Colby just got SCHOOLED 😂😂

The biggest problem with Colby is that he talks more than his action. With all the talking Edward still beat him in front of Donald I'm so happy for Edward the supernatural fighter.

People say leon's not much of a talker yet his post fight interviews turn up to be one of the best. Props to him for outclassing this demon of a guy.

Much respect and good display of sportsmanship many of us would have chose a different selection of words especially for a guy who talked about your late father 💯 That takes a man of honor to do what Leon Edwards did 🤝

The fact Colby thought he won is hilarious 😂😂

Edwards just buried Colby's career . Well done champ ,

Wow how classy is Leon Edwards? What a champion, nobody would of questioned him if he did respond in any derogatory manner but he didn't and didn't let his team either. HUGE RESPECT!!

Leon making the welterweight division great again

Leon made colby look like a novice fighter what a performance

Completely humble person. Love Leon Edward's💪

I don’t watch UFC, I don’t know Leon or the other guy, I saw the other guy disrespect his father. Checked in to see that he as won. Good job sir.

Leon Represents himself so well, great class and such an able hand anywhere amongst martial arts. Uses his brain and puts emotions second, absolute warrior 👊🏼

Leon’s easiest fight of his career lmao

Leon handles himself with class! Love seeing this👏🏾

“They all doubted me, look at me now”

Can't stop laughing at Colby 😂

RIP Leon's Dad. May he rest in heaven forever.

I am a Usman fan first, but he definitely earned a new fan today with his humility.

Your dad would be proud! Keep it up Leon, true champ! 💪🏽💪🏽

So happy for Leon and his dad ❤

The fact that he had the discernment to calm his coach down is amazing.

Man that was satisfying! Colby had nothing for Leon Well done Champ! 💪🇬🇧

“Not a scratch on me” he says whilst bleeding…

Only fighters know about that "crying because of the rage". Gret show Leon what a great Champion youve become 🙌🤘

Since leon has the bold spot on his head he is unstoppable..

Hopefully we will never see Colby in a title fight ever again

R.I.P to his dad thoughts and prayers to his family and friends R.I.P

Real asf and a complete G, GOAT material right here man 💯.

Due to Colny's inactivity, i had forgotten how trash he was! This is what happens when he fights someone under the age of 35

the better fighter and man won

The definition of a champion respect from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love Leon what an example of what a humble and great human being is 🔥. AAAAAAAAAND STILLLLLLL 👑

Interview had me teary-eyed man… seeing how deep that comment cut him broke me.

Leon has humbled many, well done brother

Even in victory, humble, and still praises Covington for being a great fighter.

Handsome, a heavy weight-class, extremely talented. Leon will be remembered for a long time.

Gained a lot of respect for Leon. Seems like a great guy. Honestly… he was way too nice and respectful. Should have made him eat those words big time!!

Great Job Leon a True Gentleman in honour 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇨🇦 🗡️ 🤛 🤜🏽

Leon Represents himself so well, great class and such an able hand anywhere amongst martial arts. Uses his brain and puts emotions second, absolute warrior

Rest in Peace Sir🕊️

Colby "never had a chance" covington

Really representing us well! Wishing bro the best 💪🏾👊🏾

Never been so happy about a result

What a true gentleman.. a true champion! Stayed disciplined and won it big time.. Goat’d 🐐🐐🐐

Man, so much respect for Leon! This proved that he has a very very strong character and mind. Huge respect. Let's go Leon!

I like Leon he's a class act he never comes across as cocky or rude even when he's got the opportunity respect to u mate for keeping your composure when fighting with a man with no respect for anything

Colby fans when from "Leon is gonna be r easy fight for colby" to "colby hasnt fight in 2 years" real quick lol

The commentary infuriated me this event. They were so unbelievably based. Especially in the main event. The only reason Colby ended on top was because Leon was trying to submit him for fun. They talked about that it was a very bad look on Leon… Colby never even was close to a submission while Leon (the European striker) got close to 3 submissions against a guy who is supposed to be a elite wrestler. It was disgusting. 49-46 was also disgusting, because the first 2 rounds should’ve both been 10-8. Colby barely threw and what he threw missed by a mile, while Leon connected with almost everything he threw. But in the end, very happy with the result, we are finally done with the garbage human being Colby Covington. He should’ve never gotten the shot. And last but not least, respect to the American crowd for turning on Covington, didn’t expect that to happen, although it should’ve happened before the fight.

Where are all the haters who said leon cant do it!! Look at him now!!!

Leon rocky Edwards will surely be remembered

Leon is a true gentleman.. even found a way to compliment Colby after what he said

I knew Colby would look like this it's skills not talking that wind fights Colby literally has no area where he could dominate 😤😤

Love Leon, that's what a true champion looks like, who will hopefully inspire the next gen of fighters ❤

What dignity and restraint he showed there. Big respect

Leon done us proud 🇬🇧

Leon is all class.

There’s a real champion, a man who’s humble in defeat and when he wins

A true champ! Inside & outside of the ring.. congratulations

What a champ, even gave props to the guy after all he said. What a guy Leon Edwards, congratulations!

Shut that cringe American out like it was nothing, and like usual Leon isn’t getting his respect

A great champ, humble and a great athlete

Edwards is a honest and spectacular athlete!!! He doesn’t stoop low like some others. Action over words !!!

All that talk and Colby was scared of engaging 😂

Leon looks like he just finished some light sparring in that interview.

Nothing but respect for Leon here bless your heart brother. What Colby said will cast a shadow over this fight for a long time. Glad to see Leon got the win.

I have to say, I've been so impressed with how Leon handdled this situation, showed great character an composure to defeat a "dirty human". Well done Leon

Love leons coach he’s really down to ride for his guy

Probably the most satisfying win of the year for me

Leon’s coach cussing out Colby in the background of his winning speech is golden 😂😂
