Congratulations to Leon Edwards on becoming the new UFC Welterweight Champion. I made this video almost a month before the fight with Kamaru Usman was announced. Glad this story had an awesome ending.
im so happy for him.

"Look at me now"
His luck just changed BIG TIME. Fucking awesome to take down usman in the first round and the biggest roundhouse kick for the KO.
Amazing luck …
Looks like Leon has proved everyone wrong. This “loser in life” shut down the p4p king from beating Anderson Silva’s record
He proved me right for the past 5 years tell me who has been hungrier,technical,but I honestly thought this was going to go to usman decision AMAZING
hes been underrated and ignored for so long now they have look at him
This aged beautifully

"Thanks for hangin in there" A Leon Edwards Story
Why does the dude make it harder on himself. The job isn't just fighting it's.promption. If he's not promoting himself he's going to have to do extra heavy lifting on the fighting aspect. Why not just try and be interesting
DUDE I CACKLED LIKE A WITCH TO THIS....
More like a 99% of the roster story.
@@cahzinarx904 traumatic childhood. Prolly doesn’t want to open up with people
They should have Leon as the cat hanging from the branch of a tree in those "Hang in there" posters
Jorge stole all Leon’s hype and the man just kept grinding until there was no one left in his way. Total badass
Lol facts 😂😂😂
"LOOK AT ME.. LOOK AT ME NOW!"
I’m from Miami, masvidal’s over rated n just a street fighter… not ufc material
@@thegutdiveryeah wouldn't be talking about masvidal if he didn't land the flying knee
@@lizardgodzilla5386so funny how Masvidal fans cling to this KO. Bro one hit a fighter who should’ve been retired a long time ago and has dozens of fights under his belt. Ben Askren was a walking plate of glass waiting to be shattered, Masvidal jus happened to be the one to break it
Leon Edwards is the man. There’s no luck involved with Leon Edwards it’s all 100% hard work . Leon comes from a rough background, both in Jamaica, and in England . Nobody handed him or his brother nothing …….. so through hard work, they took it. Leon Edwards makes me proud to be British. Leon Edwards is an example for millions of kids around the United Kingdom and Ireland and the Caribbean……. Look at what you can achieve if you believe in yourself and work hard enough. ….. Leon is the Champ 🏆💯🔥
The title of the video is referring to his bad luck I’m pretty sure. Having multiple fights fall out, the belal no contest upon his return, the fan perception of him from the masvidal thing, the Nate Diaz punch in the fifth, and having his titleshot at altitude against Usman who trains at altitude year round. Leon undeniably had a lot of bad luck and things not going his way but he overcame it all through hard work and perseverance
Who's Leon's brother?
It only looks like luck to people who weren't paying attention
Don't seems like a b person to me...
Sometimes we got to win...to accept our destiny...the stars have aligned for Leon...and I believe he deserves all his paydays
And now Usman is saying he's probably gonna be out for another year lmfao poor Leon.
Because khamzat is up there. Just avoiding the inevitable
@@brendanharris6739 Burns arguably beat him dumbass Usman isn't scared of him and open to fight him if he beats Colby
He' has been ducking him for a while. Of course he should figjht covington as often as they wil let him. He cant strike for shit
@@brendanharris6739 so why wouldn’t he just fight Leon first then make excuses
@@brendanharris6739 stop it. Usman fought burns you think he’s scared of a guy that had a war with him
“He’s a loser in life” well he just accomplished what you could never do The best revenge is succsess Leon winning this belt hurt Jorge more than anything else
Lmao Jorge was being supported by his baby mama he's such a loser
And Leon would beat the shit out of Jorge for sure
@@botondbakos5954 110%😂😂masvidal one hit wonder the only reason he is relevant bc tht 5 second record win otherwise till this day nobody will know him lol. After seeing usman getting drop like tht i dont think he even going to think accept the fight.
Daam true
@@aminlion4096 not to mention if Askren had ANY fight IQ, he wouldn’t have landed the knee. You don’t shoot in on someone who’s sprinting at you…
Jorge does more damage outside the octagon than inside
Maybe because he didn't have Vaseline on his face? Maybe because it was bareknuckle?
Imagine a world where Jorge calls Leon a loser after sucker punching him.
Leon was fuckn with him
@@TomasStarr Masvidal is a bum.
@@Masta_Roshi77fr and now leons got 3 title fight wins including 2 wins over the 2nd best WW of all time in usman. leons 32 and achieved more already than jorge, colby etc will ever achieve in the sport put together
Who's here after the KO of Marty🤣🤣 Jorge: a loser Colby: who?? Leon: 🏆 champ
I get this, many people might not but i do😁
#AndNew
Neither of them ever got the real belt lol
I’m here after Kamaru 😂
Now who is Cummington never heard of him😂
Funny thing is jorge ain’t getting a shot any time soon, and now Leon is getting paid , karma works in funny ways
Leon still wants to fight Masvidal he said if he wins after the Kamaru rematch he is giving Masvidal a title shot to settle their business.
But lol after than Masvidal is done
Lmao, Burns gonna fold Masvidal like a towel!! He could neva fight Leon again
@@khalilsmith6812 Leon is going to smoke masvidal then lmao, Jorge is going to get beat worse than what colby did to him
He's barking about fighting leon for the title now without any win in last 2 years. Street chump should resort to being a punching bag for up and coming talent.
Nobody deserves it more than Leon Edwards ! LOOK AT HIM NOW !!!
Lol jorge called Leon a loser, look who's the champion and who's the man on a 3 fight losing streak
Not to mention gaining a bad rep for sucker shots. Not something a good person does
Street Judas is a horrible person. I don’t get the appeal.
@@zepho100 Jorge is a rat that talks too much
@What’s good because it was a sucker punch dummy! Real men stand toe to toe and that’s that.
What’s good the problem with your statement is it was only on sight for one person. I don’t agree with him calling the police at all, and I never said I did, did I? Masvidal ran up to him from behind just like a coward would, and if you think that’s ok well you aren’t a man at all are you.
Masvidal calling someone a loser lmaooo
Fr. Especially after he got dog walked by Colby for 5 rounds
Best known for a 5 second KO against a washed up wrestler Dana, for some reason, wanted more than mighty mouse
@@VocalBrony123💯😂
Leon would have destroyed Masvidal
Now Leon is the champ while Masvidal and Colby are irrelevant, haha.
The thing with Leon is that he's so good at figthing and at the same time he does'nt sell a lot so is not worth fighthing him
Not worth the risk. It’s sad how easy it is to duck him
I love Leon's technique and clinch work the most. His trips and elbows are art. When it comes to promoting I think he should just be mute and humble like Wonderboy because not everyone is a trash talkerv
Mojahed promote him as well 😂😂
@@Thawhid but not everyone is extremely nice like wonderboy its hard being nice, easy being an asshole. you gotta think both sidest
yup these fighters need to learn how to attractive viewers. The fight doesnt sell it self
This aged extremely well for Edwards.
truly.
So glad Leon is getting the recognition he deserves.
The prideful are put down and the humble are lifted up
Alhamdulillah.
Amen brother.
Leon would whoop Jorge imo
if nate can hurt him.....
@@omarmosaad9878 Nate hurt him in the 22nd minute,Jorge doesnt have his usual kind of power that time of the fight
Jorge is the worst ufc superstar ever. He doesnt belong in the top10
@@omarmosaad9878 mate hurt him in the last round last three minutes.
Nate made him do the chicken dance, masvidal could flatten him
And now Colby calls Leon out 😂😂
Leon should just say "Colby? Never heard of him"
@@zaer-ezart😂
@@zaer-ezartyea until Dana says it’s his next fight or else strip title 😂
@@GabeItchess This aged well
and Jorge is like "He's not taking my calls"
Covington : whose that never heard of him, you dont know the UFC champ in your division🤣
damn aged like milk for colby
And look at him now, he did what they couldn’t and became UFC champion. Truly inspirational💪🏾
Only reason he ever did was from split decision complete terrible call when he fought Diaz
"look at me now" Leon to masvidal and Colby.
He got lucky with Usman. He was getting his ass kicked!! I think Usman, when it happens is gonna regain his title.
@@josephalbino8364lmao Kamarus got bodied in the third fight
@@MichaelKaninskiy-ym7nffr
@@josephalbino8364if you were ever in a fight in your life you would get that it wasn’t luck lmao, he delivered an amazing kick, I need someone to explain how is that luck lol
@@MichaelKaninskiy-ym7nfwow what a win against a gun shy Usman
Leon did what nor Jorge or colby could do in two fights. Jorge is still proud with his ability to sucker punch
He should get an interim against colby or Khamzat
If they make the interim title fight Colby has fo be in it, the debate would be between Leon or khamzat to go against him
@@charlesbarkley223 colby already fought him 2 times already give others also a chance
I think they're doing khamzat vs colby because there is more hype behind them. But I feel like you would want to avoid colby becoming interim since he is not gonna get a third shot at usman anytime soon. Leon vs Khamzat would be the smart play then
Colby has better resume than any of the other contenders, the first fight usman should have been dq'd for back of the head shots in the 5th, and the second fight was a draw, Leon's resume is the worst out of the 3, it should be between colby and khamzat
@@charlesbarkley223 Colby doesn't deserve shit. He hasn't beaten in anyone.
This all makes Leon's win so satisfying to watch❤️
Leon is an absolute Chad and a fantastic role model for young men. Work hard, remember where you came and stay focused on what you want
Just defended against juiceman. Whatta guy.
This aged well
Feel so bad for Leon. Hope he gets the title with what he been through.
He sat out for super long. F that guy
Dana already told him he’s got next
@@giggityeffyou not by choice though
He will never win the belt. Suspect chin and cardio issues. Almost got KOed by Nate.
@@gimu9834 idk about cardio issues, he put a whoopin on Nate for 24 minutes
Jorge is like an emotional woman during that backstage incident
I hope Leon doesn’t give those bums a fight fight who truly deserves to go toe to toe with a champion
Came to read the comments here...😂😂 I think leon deserves respect now 👏 👏
Yeah bro hahaha How dare jorge accept the fight with Leon jajja
WHO HERE AFTER LEON KNOCKOUT?!?!?
Leon the loser didn't even deserve that fight. Takes almost 2 years off, beats a low level Nate Diaz and then gets a title shot. What a joke! UFC gave him the ultimate punchers chance.
@@jimbojones9118 don't cry come on😂🤭
@@like2jo4796 I don't hate the guy, but you casuals don't understand- he shouldn't have got that fight
@@jimbojones9118 yep u proved u r the casual
@@like2jo4796 he took two years off, his only good win b4 Usman was Lunque (who got crushed the week before), he almost got KOed by Nate (not an impressive win either, Nate sucks), Bilal was about to smash Leon b4 Leon eye poked him. Sorry buddy YOU are the casual. I watch all the fights early prelims to main event every weekend 🤡
And now here we are after UFC 286 and Leon Edwards dominated Kamaru Usman. Colby failed 2x, Masvidal failed 2x and Leon beat Usmam 2x. And now these same dudes that said they don't know who he is are begging him to fight them, and Leon will beat both of them he is the best WW on the planet.
Didn't dominate anything lmao it was close relax bud and if someone with no knees cooked him for 24minutes in their first fight and had a close fight with him in their second imagine what a healthy wrestlers like Khamzat would do to him
The 2nd fight wasn’t buddy pure domination
Usman era el que dominaba la pelea solo por una patada de suerte lo k.o.
@@grump9283 lmao Usman looked like he always did in his other fights against Leon. Leon’s hit him down with body work and leg kicks. Keep coping
Really proud of Leon, but he'll have a very rough out against Colby and Khamzat. I'll be rooting for him though!
Bro I remember the days of how the fans persevered Leon before he fought usman the second time no one cared about him till that headkick
They better respect this man.. hasn’t lost a fight in years . I respect Leon
Scott definitely deserves to fight Khamzat next
@@smartfck4 he literally almost lost to ante Diaz who got destroyed by masvidal
He’s also barely fought in years. Nate Diaz, eye poke fight with Belal. Has he done anything else in the last 2 years? He still should get a title fight, just saying tho
@@umarp4ki102 he got caught by one punch, quit acting like he didn't dominate every other second of that fight..
@@ballzmckgee3167 Bit of a stretch calling that fight with Nate dominate. He played it smart, safe and outpointed Nate but put zero pressure on and wasn't remotely close to finishing him.
This video aged like wine 🍷
Init masvidal and colby shook now 😂😂😂
I love this for Leon, MF was first in line for everyone but the fights got dropped - only for him to KO the champ when he finally got his chance 👏🏽👏🏽had a feeling he had the best chance - but usman was so dominant it was hard to chose anyone over him. Glad my gut instinct was right congrats Rocky!
Coming here after Leon beat the man who broked Colby's face🤣💔
LOOK AT ME NOW
Pound for pound headshot dead. That's it 🥶
Pride comes before the fall Jorge.
Jorge was practically begging Leon for a fight before his Burns L. How the tables turn.
Now he the champ
The fact that Leon is on a 9 or 10 fight win streak with such bad luck makes it even more impressive. I'm from Birmingham and I'm a really big fan I just wish he was more active, if Usman is out for a year I'd love to see him fight Jorge or Colby.
Nah Jorge would be good, but Colby is too high of a risk coz what happens if he loses to colby which is quite possible if i may say so myself. In my opinion he should just wait or fight Jorge just to get the hype up a little more coz they have a little history
@@zain1m107 Yeah I think the Jorge fight makes the most sense, it’s a low risk fight which could be a good payday since they’ve got history and Jorge is a big draw. I’d still like to see the Colby fight though, Colby is great but he hasn’t done enough to prove he’s second best at 170 imo. Either way I just wanna see Leon fight more.
No such thing as luck there are blessings and curses. You’re either fortunate or unfortunate nothing else. Leon was blessed with the dub and he’s been very fortunate to win great job champ!!
So in other words lucky or unlucky....
I'm surprised and also I'm satisfied with the fact that Leon is now a champion, I've been waiting for this guy for a long time and when I saw it happened, My eyes just couldn't believe it. Masvidal colby Usman they all kinda did him bad underestimating him but this man paved his way to the top, Well Deserved
The irony now
"Look at me now".
Leon "Edwards" Scissorhands
Well deserved on retaining his belt .
And now he’s champ of the world
And now he's the champ. Unbelievable!
Leon edwards is the real deal... yall better put some respect on his name. He earned every bit of that belt
This is why leon edwards is the most aesthetic human being
Now he's the champ
Anyone can turn their fortunes around
I agree
Leon is too real for this sport
They all scared to get kicked into oblivion
His whole story is so beautiful And inspirational!! It makes wanna cry !! We all counted him out and he proved us wrong!!true underdog
Champ before em all
His luck just changed.
Leon is the most aesthetic man on the planet George has no chance
They were all ducking Leon for a reason. He had their number now he’s coming off another win over Usman
And now he's the new champ congrats man well deserved !
Leon’s growing on me. I like how positive he stayed despite the string of bad luck he had.
Gave em the 3 piece … wit the soda 😂😂😂
Now they all know his name, they recognise and will remember him. Look at him now !!! The champ 💪🏾
And now Leon is the champ 🤷🏽♂️
Leon would wreck jorge. I hope they fight so jorge can finally be irrelevant
Bro he is
Jorge's chin is better than Leon's
@@staple_boi 🧢 he got rocked by colby. Plus jorge sucker punched him and didn’t even knock him out
@@mandoso7222 Can’t really call it a sucker punch since Leon came towards him with his hands up.
@@staple_boi you're talking about the guy who got knocked out cold by Usman ??? Lol when have you ever seen that happen to Leon ?
I liked this at the time to come back to down the line. Beautiful scenes, 2nd ever UK champ so deserved after all of this. 🏴🇯🇲 👑
This is going to be a movie one day
And that Nobody is A Champion today ~ Colby, Masvidal
Now he is the face of welterweight👑
Never ever will that happen
And it all paid off.
Dude changed the history of UFC TODAY. #RESPECT
Both of he’s opponents about to fight for UFC GOLD and masvidal just talking like news reporter 😂😂
"You're just a loser in life man". And now Jorge Masvidal works at McDonald's and Leon Edward's is the world champ 😂😂😂😂
It’s honestly unbelievable to think that he beat Usman, after this watching this video it’s just a reminder that’s he is the real rocky story

Man the irony now…
Edwards: LOOK AT ME NOW
The p4p records always have a protector. This time it's Leon
Jorge callin him a loser than gettimg charged for assault because his ego is extreme karma😂
Serves him right.. The Leon “3-piece” was assault, he wasn’t charged because Leon didn’t press charges. He should have known you can’t keep doing that forever and expect to get away with it. Colby wasn’t gonna be so nice about the assault, plus it’s Florida where charges like that are dealt with a little harsher. Jorge really messed himself up.
What kinda spineless loser let's another man insult his kids lol tf y'all niggas on
@@downfromthereeefters It is too bad if Colby wins his lawsuit he will never fight again. Convince a jury you have brain damage then try and convince an athletic commission you don't. I hope the pittance of a settlement he gets will make him feel better about throwing away his promising career.
@alguien Check your grammar before being so rude.
He didn't get charged 😂😂 buuut with Colby he did lol ya gotta learn someday
"Head shot ,bang!..Look at me now..Look at me now!!!" Brother Leon Edwards UFC WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION
Look how the turn tables
Had Leon from the start, watched his glorious debut in the ufc and always have been a fan from the start. Glad to see that he finally has his belt. Hopefully this rocky attitude will keep going.
Never sleep on the man though, may seem one dimensional to some but he’s always full of surprises
And now he's the FUCKING CHAMMMP
Leon: "look..look at me, look at me! I'm the champion now"
Im so happy for him, it’s a spark of hope for all the people
Bet they heard of him now… he done what they couldn’t. Congrats Leon
Masvidal talk too much once he was my favourite But Leon is an humble guy with true sportsmanship ❣️
