“YOU GOTTA PULL IT OUT THE FIRE LEON” man what a moment in history i’m glad to have witnessed.
I watch the corner talk and interview when I need motivation

cammon leon dont let him bully you son

We need to show him more love in the UK as an athlete. Doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Done the hardest thing in combat sports. And u barely hear anything. Hope he gets it done again this weekend. I believe in him
He ain't got no personality tho , Usman better win it's better for the division, UFC and most importantly the UK
Yeah I believe he'll look a lot better this fight. I hope he's training hard with all the distractions.
@@disowned1608 that’s true but you also have to respect a man who is always authentic and doesn’t put on a facade to entertain others, I hear you I also like ppl like Conor but Leon talks with his fights.
@@disowned1608 Usman personality is being cringe. Edwards is just being himself, quiet and humble and he is not trying to be like Usman who is a fake.
Yall got Tyson Fury
"Look at me now!" One of the most memorable victory speech. Will be rooting for him again
Headshot bang 😅
Leon the actual definition of God really did help me get here 🤲🏻 Cuz we all know Usman would’ve killed him if it went to distance that day😂
One of the worst post interviews done he barely could make it interesting he just ain’t got that edge. Interesting fighter but boring personality. Glad he won against usman tho
he has absolutely no chance of winning, won by fluke last time
@@tyrone-dh6iy Put your money where your mouth is. Place your bet and show your winnings in a video
And that’s why Leon Edward has the most aesthetic physique
LOOK AT ME NOW!!
One of the best octagon interviews. Good luck this weekend Rocky
Headshot BANG!!
Pfp
The title belongs to nooneeee
PFP, HEADSHOT DEAD, THATS IT.
Shout out GQ for showing love to the MMA fighters. Best of luck Leon 👊🏽💪🏽
If only the UFC showed their fighters the same love

“10 things Leon edwards can’t live without” ‘Mario’s Rio’s’
I came here looking for comments like these 😂
And that's how leon edwards created the universe
🤣🤣🤣
Leon collecting they stones like “Fonis” maddest way anyone’s said Thanos
Didnt know he meant Thanos until I read this
Lol was looking for a comment. Subtitles didn't get it either haha
“Fonis is coming… he’s coming” “Who?” Lol
loollll fanis thanos love leon, good luck saturday champ. knock em down again !
As a brit to stay up till 5am seeing Leon 3-1 down and his coach sayin that to him then to literally last minute shin to neck and hearing YOU ALL DOUBTED ME, LOOK AT ME NOW nah bruvva I cried I felt everything he's always been a g 3rd time gonna be tough but I hope Leon got this even though usman and gaethje trained at me local recently 😭
Where are they training?
@@heisenberg9739 they are training at Rockeys gym
L Cry more
POUND FOR POUND, HEADSHOT DEAD

Leon Edwards quickly became the best fighter in the welterweight division. He soldiered his way to the top. I really appreciate his stand-up because he’s had great significant strikes. His grappling should not be overlooked too. Thank you so much Leon Edwards for performing
You can’t say quickly tho, 14 fights spanning 9 years before he got a title shot
he got his face smashed in for 4 rounds and landed an incredible kick in the 5th. he's a great fighter but you have to be realistic
@@youroldobesehomeboy267 in a place where the altitude is ridiculous and all the fighters were gassing out on that card that was Leon’s worst performance an still got it done and stilllllll !!!!
@@thejoneserplays999 why do you think it was his worst performance? the dude got clocked by nate not too long ago either. you're delusional
@@thejoneserplays999 Leons worst performance? and who's fault is that? himself. worst performance is just an excuse bcos he wasn't confident
Good to see Leon getting some media time, he is a very reserved guy, and a brilliant fighter
Leon winning after being on 12 fight win streak was golden. - Usman fan who's Nigerian 🇳🇬
12 win streak? How
@Sony Emerson it's 12 now but originally 11 before the Usman fight so my bad there lol - Since Leon lost to Usman in 2015, he's won 11 fights since then.
@@sonyemerson6675 wym how he won 12 fights inna row
@@hearwho8438 its true
@@hearwho8438 look up Leon's record very easy to understand
Leon Edwards the most aesthetic fighter
His post fight interview when he ko usman is my favorite post fight interview ever cold blooded
Am proud this man is representing the uk and finally getting the respect he deserves
becoming a bigger leon fan by the day, sounds like a great guy, built his mom her restaurant when he got more successful. Also a great fighter high level striker with great td defense. Hope he stays champ for long
Such a simple man. Much love Rocky.
So ready for Saturday. Will be cheering for you Leon!
Man Leon was way more confident in the usman vs leon 3 fight than the previous, and him to win on a decision is very impressive.
was a bit worried about Usman's grappling-but he countered it
Love this guy, Leon’s demeanour is so professional the uk is lucky to have him
Gotta love this dude. Humble and a beast
Leon getting the recognition he deserves, Its nice he giving back to his mum, hope you Reign Long champ
"collect the stones, like thonos" that got a good chuckle out of me lmao
"Thonus"
What a legend big inspiration go get him again champ let kick out bam 💥
Very humble... Respect
Leon August 22’ : “The belt belongs to nobody” Leon March 23’ “My belt.”

@@electricboogaloo7686 watch the video. You sound real dumb rn bro
@@Adam_Leblanc I did watch the video you dunce he said “pfp for what? Pfp for what? The belt belongs to nobody” meaning pfp means nothing. You’re the one lacking contextual skills
And thats why leon edwards has the best physique in the solar system
And this is why Leon Edwards has the most ASTHETIC Physique known in the universe, that's not a spoiler that's a fact.
He’s deserves everything coming for him 👏🏼✨
I love what he said about his watch. It would depreciate the value iceing it out. It's a grown man watch. Fit for a champ, think about that youngins.
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 👏👏👏🦵 Thanks for having him on GQ 🙌
Iconic moment 👏
an aesthetic physique
Leon is a fantastic fighter who took the toughest route to the title and deserves everything coming his way. More importantly, he seems like a profoundly decent guy. Congrats to him on last night's well fought win.
These things are why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique.
I remember seeing him fight rda in San Antonio so fluid and was criminally underrated headshot dead run it back
Not only a great fighter but has a decent list of essentials that he needs.
Edwards seems like such a nice guy 🙏🏼
Glad Leon is finally getting recognition, I believe he gets it done again this weekend
Leon Edwards is a real One 🔥🔥🔥
0:35 AND STILL..
And he's done it again! 2 Ruby's now champ
this is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique in the multiverse
Leon Edwards can't live without his physique [which is the most aesthetic and functional physique in the world]
Idk why but I feel this Is the people's champ. This man deserves to there forever
Same
Y'all say this about anyone
@@alexandermoore8097 Because cocky champions like Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya etc.) act extremely cocky like they couldn’t be stopped. Fighters like leon Edward are genuinely well grounded with or without being a champion. “The Belt Belongs To Nobody” ⚔️
"DON'T LET HIM BULLY YOU SON!"
SONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I really fw Leon as a person. Just seems really chill and i’m glad he’s gotten his title. Hopefully he can win in the 3rd fight. We’ll see though
leon talking about fingers open gloves, you know an eye poke is coming 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So simple ! Love this guy
Head shot bang ‼️ Shout out Leon
A good human ♥️
The most underrated champion of all time, MONSTER !! LOOK AT ME NOW
He is so good ❤
I'm in erd right now it's tough round these endz good to see hope shinning in this darkness
Leon underappreciated. UK would be rallying behind him but unfortunately it's not like that
He is an immigrant and he's not white so they don't care, Leon got booed the last time he fought in London and his opponent Gunnar Nelson who wasn't even British got cheered. Paddy Pimblett publicly said immigrants should not represent UK in sports.
Facts bro. Cus they don’t push the UFC. He didn’t even get nominated for bbc sport’s personality.
@@TheMrBig8 bbc dont really push contact sports. I think its becuase 1 they dont broadcast the ufc BT does so they'd be promoting a rival. 2 the bbc mainly appeals to boomers who dont really watch mma. 3 the BBC are a crazily politcal entity when they want to push an agenda and leon doesnt really do anything for them. 4 The stigma around mma.
They love losers like paddy and till
@@canthandleit101 They do with boxing though. And what Leon has done is as impressive if not more than Fury, Joshua etc
Amazing man!
thats, right, YEEZYs. respect to the champ, hope he can pull off another win!
For years now every time I hear Leon talk I go “nah that’s not his real voice” 😂😂😂😂
1 of the best strikers in the ufc
I wasn't sure if I'd like Leon as a champion, but I'm loving him as the champ. It's just refreshing and sweet to have a champ like Leon instead of an Usman or Woodman, who are cool but can be annoying as well.
😂 Leon sounds like he has a timeframe to get his sentences out. Love this guy and I have so much respect for what he’s done and how he improved his skills 👏. As humble as any champ I’ve seen !!!! 💪
I'm with you champ! Respect!
Amen Leon ! All the best to you and the ones love ❤️🙏✝️
How can you hate on this guy. Good luck tomorrow, hope he can make it!!!
AND STILL BABY!!!
And that's why leon edwards has the best physique in the universe... IFFFF HE DOESN'T HAVE A TATS.
0:48 "It's like Fonos, you gotta collect the stones, you know." 😆😂😆💀
Probably number 1 is mario rios
And Still!!!!
Super humble champ
Really glad he’s champ hopefully he keeps the belt
Dude is soo wholesome! Love him
Look at him now 😊
Time for KO part 2 this Saturday!
Bang Headshot Done 💪🥇
Now THIS is how rematches should be. Yea Usman gets the immediate rematch because of his impressive reign as champ, but we’re doing it Leon’s backyard in front of 60,000 people WOW I CANT WAIT!! Screw MMA if you’re even a sports fan, that speech between round 4 & 5 was a true ROCKY moment, followed up by one one of the most electric moments of the year. Good luck to both fighters
calm down chap usman will destroy him in the rematch
@@jayson9709 There’s just so many reasons why He won’t though

Great personality
And Still welterweight champ
Defend the belt G ! You got it
Happy to see him get some more attention I remember him calling out for the title shot and now people are calling him out
Great choice of watch
That Jerk chicken looked unreal
lets go Leon, get this win
Hes so relatable
I love that exact Rolex watch 👍👍
legend
He looks so happy taking it all in, GG’s Champ!
Too bad he won’t be champ when he wakes up on Sunday 😢
@@gotchagood21 wys ?
That’s a dope heartland hat rocky!!!

The goat, love Leon and wish him all the best with his title def
Too bad he won’t be champ when he wakes up Sunday 😢
GOAT gets overused like crazy. He's a class fighter no doubt about it but not in the GOAT conversation yet
@@gotchagood21 🤡
Wish he did more appearances
leon so humble, and cute....
Not going to lie I thought Usman was going to win that second fight. I was pleasantly surprised when he landed that head kick. I hope he can pull it off again. I like this dude best of luck to him.
Anyone else here cuz the Rios brothers
Crazy accent I feel like during the interview I was getting a taste of like 4 different regional accents at once! This guy's a champ!
He has a fairly standard brummy accent - which is found in Birmingham UK
Love u Leon ❤❤❤❤
Love this guy, not gonna lie. His moms food looks amazing too.
Look at him now !
Leon “bang headshot” Edwards gotta love him
