Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards 2 ended in shocking fashion as Leon Edwards finds the head kick to end the dominate reign of Kamaru Usman. How did Leon set the kick up? Were people right in counting Leon out? Who do they fight next?

The Rocky story is real, but Leon also played a bit of Mystic Mac. He was getting counted out while he was looking for the shot he was calling for.
It’s a crazy game they play
Michael bisping also said this for his prediction! He said if leon were to win it be by Kicks to stop the wrestling pressure to keep usman guessing if not usman will do his thing and out bully him
Leon probably beats him in the 3rd imo.
@@bestlwonplanetearth i hope so
Can you aj vs usky 2 as well. Please.
Leon Edwards took Usman's takedown defense record, win-streak, P4P status, and championship belt all at once. Headshot. Done.
That just shows how great usman is with all those records
@@dammaguy1286 yeah while cheating 🤦🏻♂️ he doesn’t get punished but Others do smh (cage grabs, faking eye pokes/groin shots, glove grab, etc.)
@@dammaguy1286 former records
The trio of African mma champs gone now too, maybe his role in black panther, welterweight GOAT status, overall mma goat status, him never being knocked out, and so many more.
Well said ...let's see if usman the untouchable remembers those stats
Trevor Wittman went from flawless last year to winless this year… Who would’ve expected that?!?
Just what I thought... had 2 champions, an interim champ in Gaethje and now he has none
@@jakob9913 if Tony took training camp and fought gaethje he would have finish him if u look at that fight Tony fight with anger that khabib pulled out right after cerrone fight gaethje calledout Tony and started training for Tony and rose also didn't do good against Esparza and weili 2
@@darktruthtelugu2429 no he wouldn’t Justin beats him 9/10 times.
I was thinking the same thing before the fight. He's been figured out and hast really evolved his fighters.
@@darktruthtelugu2429 nah.
I liked how he said “there is NO P4P, the belt belongs to no one” That was dope.
Yeah that was so damn cool. His whole post fight speech was emotional, raw, brilliant, and inspiring.
@@sentientdogma1206 I gave it a 9/10 just because before he got his momentum he said trenches too many times lol. But jokes aside I thought that line was bad ass but also a little confusing. I can't imagine saying it belongs to no one right after having won the belt. I get what he means but I almost wondered if he misspoke. Ps. Did you guys know Leon is from the trenches?
@@shanetaylor761 yeah i think i heard him mention that one time
@@shanetaylor761 when you really come from that environment you’re on top of the world when you accomplish your goals. Take it easy on him the trenches are no joke to some people
@@beto5010 I always try to compartmentalize things. I can relate and completely understand that that man was pure adrenaline and speaking his truth. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.... but it's hard not to also find the humor in someone saying they're from the trenches like 5 times lol. Also at the time that was the beginning of his speech and he was still taking it in. It wasn't until he gained momentum that it actually became a great speech. If it was just the first 30 seconds it would have been look at me now I'm from the trenches on repeat. Something like paddy's speech has no real humor to it. Leon is the pvp first Jamaican born champ right now. It's safe to say the trenches are behind him so jokes are ok. Nothing but respect though.
This defeat is going to haunt Usman. Minutes away from a comfortable win. Minutes away from matching Silva's record. Minutes away from edging closer to GSP's total title defences. Absolute disaster!
Usman will be back
@@torontoontario8387 nah he’s done
@@torontoontario8387 Usman will be back, but he won't tie or break those records
His career is likely over
Seconds away
We all thought Leon had to be perfect for 25 minutes in order to win ,but turns out so did Usman sheeshh!
🤣, yes, or you could look at it this way, Leon only had to be perfect for 2 seconds 🙆
I hope this comment goes to the top!
Perfect for 1 kick
my exact thought, I was pulling for Leon but thought he would have to out score him in a decision And the possibility of him ending the fight in a split second with usman just seemed so unlikely. Man I love the fight game hahaha
It was luck and desperation 😂🤣😂🤣 Same thing with Tate and Holms.
I went nuts when Leon won. Anderson Silva’s record will stand forever.
Anderson Silva's era was pretty easy
I was rooting for leon cuz of the hardships that he has faced but also because I didn't want kamaru to tie Anderson's record.
@@dammaguy1286 weird
Leon may break it if he beats usman again
@@unapologetic226 He made it look easy
Usman had so many advantages too , he was grabbing the fence and Leon's gloves multiple times and didn't get told off by herb but as soon as Leon did it he made them reset against the cage , Kamara calling eye poke that weren't eye pokes and groin shots that weren't groin shots , Leon was making him Hella nervous
Lamaru is a cheater
Kamaru is always calling fake eye pokes and nut shots. Go back and watch some of his fights, in particular Usman vs. Covington 1 where he fakes both in a single fight.
Plus, the EPO gives you a nice advantage at altitude
He was really upset with the kick at the beltline that was NOT a groin shot. I love that replay confirmed this on the fly and ended his rest.
Yes, but Leon also grabbed the fence more than once.
Was I the only one who noticed that Usman was actually expecting a low kick, as Leon kept conditioning him with low kicks, fainted the 1,2, another low kick before finishing up top, I don't even think that Usman knew where to block.
He never saw it at all. It was too fast and unexpected to be processed
He never saw it at all. It was too fast and unexpected to be processed
@@Nihinihif99 Leon's hands blocked Usmam vision
In the 5th Leon kicked: body, leg, body, leg, head
I noticed it big time during the fight. sorry simple but yet beautiful. but to be honest in the end I thought Leon was to exhausted to follow through with his plan. it caught me by surprise
Probably the most epic moment in UFC history. The takedown, the KO, the altitude, Leon’s background and the Rocky theme at the end. It was a real privilege to watch.
Yeah i cried multiple times. One when he said "mama i told you i was gunna change your f#cking life" and the rocky "scene" Born in jamaica, in a shack with a tin roof, look at me now!
Shit was a movie!
Truly the stuff of legend!
It must be up in top 5 ufc moments. Epic.
Dude, I bet 5 dollars on Leon to win in the 5th round and made $230. He almost won me big money on my parley but Merab didn't get the finish in the third vs Aldo :(
Usman: "I believe I deserve the title shot next." 😆
"I am the belt" "I WILL SMEASH this guy...ez fight no problem...kill" "WHO? leon thomas...never heard of him...he fights?" Name these fighters...
Yee and the fact that Leon has not been able to KO any of his opponents before in 9 fights. He might have pillow hands but bro he got that titanium shin bone.
@@coltizz What? No chin involved here.
@@TheNibiru720 Conor, Chimaev, Colby.
He should.
This was insane. I was standing and clapping at the TV until after his speech. What a guy, congratulations to Leon! Couldn't be happier to see Kamaru get humbled

@@BigSoldiermx Leon’s gonna win the trilogy by flying gogoplata in the 2nd round
Bisping has talked about how getting KO’d really messes with fighters’ minds. It will be interesting to see how Usman returns.
That was the type of knock out that leaves a fighter never the same.
I think he's good, man looked on fire, I think he'll be back like a monster tbh considering how much he improved under his coaching from last fight to this one + the added hunger of not having the belt
@@worer850 yeah i agree it wasn't a TKO which a fighter can recover from butbhe was flat out cold
bisping get flatlined/decapitated even worse than this.
@@user-us9iw6rt7b be real, usman is gonna be 36 by the rematch
In my opinion, the fact that Usman never incorporated jui jitsu in his style hurt him... It was times when he had Leon's back and he made no attempts to submit him. .
Same as Gaethje
Honestly, it's like he doesn't even have a white belt. In reality he probably just feels more dominant holding position and landing a few shots
Same as Colby, and they give their backs for free.
Because he wanted to knockout leon to prove he was a better striker. But leon is dangerous at all times
@@thirtythree504 usman only has one sub win. It wasn't because he wanted a ko, he just sucks at submissions
Conor actually said that in an interview too - about Usman having zero submission threat. The wrestling he has with submissions could be absolutely lethal but instead he just gets the back and tries to maintain control. It’s his major flaw
Yeah I've never understood that part of Usmans game. It seems his ultimate goal in those positions is purely to kill time and stay busy enough with foot stomps and knees to the thigh that the ref won't separate them. He never seems to be actually going anywhere towards advancing and setting up some serious damage or a submission. He just hangs on people.
Not really a flaw. He's never needed it and ramping up training jiu jitsu could be a challenge for Usman due to his shoulder and knee injuries
@@rejachemno he had Leon’s back for a significant amount of time and did nothing with it.
@@rejachemno that's crazy that the " p4p number 1" doesn't have submission skills and just learned a jab from Trevor Whitman...
@@goodfellas1001 god man well, when you put it that way..
Nobody is considering part of why leon was so lackluster after the first round is because he was fighting at disadvantage, at 5000+ feet elevation where usman lives and trains, that is a major factor, we’ll see a different fight in a rematch, you may be surprise when leon beat usman again but even easier
Rogan and DC was only mentioning the elevation every 3 seconds on the broadcast so some might of forgot.
lol i don't see it as long as usman doesnt get head kicked easy win.
Usman regains his title in The rematch
@@garyRoboto nope
That's where the EPO comes in handy

Man some people don’t understand how meaningful that win was for the UK and especially birmingham...Usman was a great Champ, deserves all the respect, but Leon really did us proud. Love from Birmingham UK💯
That’s awesome. Hope he inspires the youth there with this
May he have a nice return celebration. I remember seeing other newly crowned champs' huge hometown celebrations, such as Holly Holm's in Albuquerque, the packed streets of Brazilian champs, etc.
Leon is the best mma fighter in uk history
Yeah Lads , congratulations , from 💪🇦🇺
@@johncrowley3322 most people would say that’s Bisping🤷🏻♂️
Although it was impressive victory, saying Leon Edwards was just trying to wait for the perfect moment and be patient is giving him waayyyy too much credit. Even his corner was yelling at him.
That's how you take care of crotch sniffers, like oooosman.
I’m glad you’re being respectful about his approach. I hate the “lucky” narrative.
Everyone should watch the last round again, especially from 2:30 remaining. It wasn't lucky at all. Leon took over control of the fight. People missed it because they were counting him out and considering the fight over.
The best sport in the fucking world!!! Leon was literally being screamed at by his corner after round 4 and he was just staring into space like he didn’t want to be there and then BOOM!!! What a fucking crazy ending🤯
For real! I yelled so loud, I scared my wife who was eating and she ended up stabbing herself with her fork lmao she's okay but holy cow what a moment!
@@Metaljonus damn but then i hope you jumped out your seat like i did when that ko landed
@@Metaljonus same bruh my friend yelled so loudly his whole family came over to the living area to check what had happened to him! 😂 It was really nuts
@@Suyashk_22 Hahaha this sport is crazy man. I love it.
@@SK-ix8jb Oh I did. jaw to the floor!
Usman got humbled just like he did to Tyron… was way over his head with the Boxxing canelo and fighting at 205… Leon really showed so much adversity and calmness congrats Champ!
Dominating every second of a five-round fight is pretty different from getting flash-KO'd in a fight that you were comfortably winning. Usman took Tyron's soul in that fight; Leon was losing and managed to find the perfect shot.
I think leon just got lucky , thas it. Usman could have coasted in the 5th and took him down over n over again and won. But he didnt, if anything he just got too comfortable thats all it is. Too comfortable in the fight and domniating , it happens too alot of greats. I doubt leon is able to defend the title against usman,khamzat or colby. His wrestling is horrible and colby/khamzat are going to gun for the shot against him before usman
both usman and canelo got humbled the same year. crazy year for combat sports
@@fivepillars4880 he didn't get lucky that was a telegraphed kick fake the left hand came up high nothing lucky about it
Usman gonna get that belt back in the rematch.
Leon Edwards really embodied the phrase "fear the quiet man". When you look at Leon you get almost no read on where he's at mentally, but his corners are yelling at him every round, you've dominated him enough to win a clear UD, and there's 1 minute left. It would be reasonable to assume that he's mentally defeated even though you can't visually confirm it. I really do think that lack of feedback led Kamaru to assume Leon was done and let off of the pressure he had the whole fight. Leon really showed his mental toughness, to be less than a minute away from losing what he waited YEARS for and still be calm enough to not only find the perfect opening but to strike PERFECTLY for the walk off. What an incredible finish man.
leon also grabbed the fence multiple times
Nah thats not true. Yeah maybe in this fight. But he never fought like this before, well in usmans first fight he did but usually he fights better.Usman just has his number and that 5th round kick saved his ass. I would hope he would grow bigger balls and actually walk down usman in the rematch because thats what helped him win, putting usman on the backfoot. Leon was a scared puppy the whole fight till he landed that than he thought he was a gangster after lol. He is gonna lose the belt and never get another shot at it again. We have seen this story before. Lets calm down , matt serra acted like that too till gsp fought him again and whooped his butt. Amanda Nunes came back and slapped up Julianna . Usman is already -300 in the rematch lol. people act like he is gonna let leon even get a chance to land that kick or even a punch. He just gonna pin his ass over and over and over and over.
@@mkodebiyi1027 usman did it first , so game on player
He wasn’t the first to take Usman down, let’s me honest. But was the first to KNOCK HIM OUT Congrats Leon
Yeah but they didn’t count Colby’s
On paper, he was.
Not the first to beat Usman, but the first to beat a polished Usman
Colby took him down. They robbed him of it. This takedown was too blatant to ignore.
first real take down, knees on floor is not a take down in UFC look it up
Couldn’t happen to a better person!!! Congrats Leon!!!
I know right! Leon is a one of the good ones. A great guy for kids to look up to.

@@joehouston2833 yeah but he's a better person and it could happen. Personally I would love to see Wonderboy vs Leon. But that's a loooong shot.
This is the year where I lose faith on the idea of unbreakable chins. I never thought I would ever see guys like Tony and Usman out cold. We got both this year. It's only a matter of time till it happens to Holloway as well. It would be beyond insane if Ngganou gets put out like that as well
Lmao chill 😂😂
Usmans chin is decent not on Holloway's level or even prime tony
@@not677 Fury would make him look silly maybe tko him but wilder has a chance to actually hurt him
@@dammaguy1286 he's never been knocked out and got rocked by burns only once
I don't think Francis has a chin like you think. You could tell Stipe had him hurt but that's what killed Stipe. He went for the kill and got absolutely obliterated
More than anything - though I’m happy to see that it doesn’t play on Edwards’ mind - I’m just happy to see him get the respect he deserves. It’s been nice to see crowds cheering for Leon lately. He has really carried himself well and kept his integrity despite the insane amount of undeserved disrespect he’s had to endure.
It feels like Christmas when i see the thumbnail of your next video ready to be watched. You're the best Weasle
That bit about giving Usman your back being "okay" is totally true - there was 1 specific instance I think in the 2nd round where Leon was on the ground and blatantly gave up his back to stand up and Kamaru did absolutely nothing about it. If that was say, Charles O. it would've been over.
Usman black belt is overrated. As dominant as he is on the ground he has just 1 submission win.
Leon can't try that with Khamzat, he'll go to sleep pretty fast.
lol thanks for this, I was screaming "don't give your back" but usman did nothing with it, very telling.
The thing with usman is he doesn’t look for submissions he just wants to wrestle and score ground time. Charles immediately is always searching for the back to sub his opponent which makes ground danger on the ground much higher. Same with khabib or Islam if they can sub you they will if it’s there.
“Usman never looked tired in there” The man was sleeping in the octagon.
He was having a nigerian nightmare 😂😂😂😂
LOL
😝😝😝
You're so wrong lmao
@@TheWeasleMMA it sounds soo right thou
always enjoy watching these 'what really happened' breakdowns - great job Weasle!
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾 Prayers out for them 🕊️
The implications added to this knockout make it the greatest comeback in history in my opinion. Undefeated, 100% TDD, 15 win streak, #1 P4P fighter on the roster Usman getting KOd by such an underdog…it boggles my mind Glad Leon was the one to do it though. Couldn’t have been a better guy to grab that belt.
Undefeated in the UFC* but yes, Leon handed Kamaru his: - First UFC loss - First career KO loss - First career takedown As well as robbed him of: - His undefeated UFC streak - His WW title - His potential to tie the UFC record for longest winning streak - His P4P #1 status (I've been saying before Volk is No.1 anyways, how can a fighter with 0 kicks and 0 BJJ be considered the P4P best). - His potential WW GOAT status that he was working towards. - His LWH super fight - His Canelo super fight.
Everything every week is the greatest in history. I still like the jiri comeback by sub
Colby took Usman down twice previously.
@@budwhite9781 Never held him down like Leon did though, or take his back. Leon became the first person to control Kamaru in a grappling position.
@@aremayo9262 Volk has no bjj what are you talking about lol.
I dont agree that this was Leon's plan. His corner was screaming at him after the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. If that was the plan they wouldnt have been so upset. I think he made the adjustment mid fight and made it work. Super impressive either way though
But after round 4 his coaches were screaming to let his hands go and he was just staring into space like he wasn’t listening or interested at that point, can’t believe he pulled that out the bag
@@paulcarter5010 or he was actually listening..
His corner was stressing me out
@@colinrodgers5657 his corner was stressed tf out cause he was out there getting dominated for almost 4 rounds straight, he was gonna lose but he suddenly woke up and caught usman snoozin
Yeah weasel is using the magic power of hindsight here
I love this breakdown especially 3:32 to 4:46 In depth, just everything this video needed and more Keep up the good work!
always beautiful examination of the situation bro. Good job
Leon was also throwing lows, one actually hurt Uzi that he acted and pretended it was a lowblow. And when it hurts, you instinctively defend, then came the headshot. Good set up but risky.
Lying, cheating prima donna Usman!
The risk of the takedown was there but edwards found a hole in Marty’s game like weasel said. Give up the back and get up
Did u seriously just call him uzi?
ayeee UZI I like it
Nah Usman fake there for some time
Imagine a ufc ppv in wembley stadium since Dana white mentioned it in the post fight presser like this line up Leon v Usman III or Diaz 2 or finally v Khamzat Tom Aspinall return v Sergei Pavlovich Darren Till v Paulo Costa Paddy Pimblett v Jared Gordon
I am subscribed!! This breakdown was for real... It was a set up from the start!!!
“Is he going to wrestle more?” As if that’s possible 😂
Literally couldn’t go to sleep until you dropped this lmao. Props to you weasle always great content!
It pissed me off when Din Thomas was saying " Going to distance is a moral victory for Leon " Leon worked so hard to win this fight he came out Very sharp, took Usman down And controlled him, got his back Etc etc. Idk how in Din Thomas's eyes Leon Would be happy with losing a decision to usman.
All din thomas is good for is being tyron woodley"s waterboy
I heard that shit too and then boom...Kan't i Snoozeman
I don't think you can attack Din here. His statement was aligned with the body language Leon was putting off. Then when they were talking about it, Leon spent an awkwardly long time in mid R5 just standing there looking at Kamaru without doing anything himself. At that moment, I though Din was right and the fight was over. (also, just to clarify, you're making a strawman argument in your last sentence. I'm quite sure that Din did NOT say or imply that Leon would happy losing by decision. Just that it would be a moral victory compared to getting finished)
@@JumpingWatermelons bro Leon Wasn't just standing there letting Usman work on him. He was Setting up his shots, and Trying to Defend the takedowns. Idk where you guys see that fight and say " it's a moral victory for Leon to lose bc he didn't get finished ". Anways he won thr fight it doesn't matter anymore. I just wish People like Din Thomas wouldn't be so clueless and imply that Leon would be happy to loose a decision
Dont kid ourselves leon did good only on the first round and was dominated in the other 3 but that head kick showed he was still there and BOOOM . Yes that was amazing i thought leone was going to win after first round but after i thought he lost hope and dont want to be there . thi sport has surprises
This is the first time I’ve ever watched one of your videos and I must say, I like the way you break things down and how you form your points. Very nice. You my friend, just got earned yourself another subscriber👍
AWESOME CHANNEL BRO !! THANK YOU.
One thing I think was missed in the fight was the way Leon conditioned Usman with kicks down low. Leon was definitely tired but the last big body kick was not a groin kick and the fact that Usman took a break was a sign the kick got to him. So Usman was weary of the body, then Leon fainted the double jab and boom, he goes to the head.
Yea when they show the replay and it’s clearly not a nut shot Usman should be deducted a point imo
Correct he felt that body kick that's why he tried to cover and exposed his head karma faking low blow
He did the same fucking thing against Colby the first fight but nobody wanted to hear it. Colby been saying it for a while now; fake eyepokes, fake groin shots. Marty is a cheater. Glad people finally see it how it is
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy 100%. The first fight got stopped after 7 back of the head strikes too.
He basically pulled a Shevchenko on Usman
I’m so fucking happy for Leon man , so well deserved . The commentary was writing him off saying he was thinking that going to decision is a moral win. What a guy so happy for uk mma. This guy can be a National hero
They were effectively writing Leon's obituary for his title shot. But in fairness it was warranted up to that point because nobody could have predicted Leon would utterly sleep Usman with 56 seconds in the fight to go.
That's what's was happening man. You can't blame them. There was literally one minute left in the fight and it felt like it was over already. I screamed when he knocked out Usman
How do you not have over a million subs by now? Love your videos bro, no one breaks down fights better!
I was shocked at Leon's ground game. He was elite.
Me too.
I could easily imagine Usman winning the rematch yet this will still be a legendary moment.
Wtf u mean easily winning the rematch? Don't disrespect Leon bro ur trippin
Na he done. Khamzat and shavkat are here
@@juniorbeckham2928 He said he could "easily imagine" him winning. Not that Usman would win easily
bate
@@juniorbeckham2928 This is his moment. The KO was flawless and beautiful. But Usman is just something else. He has a good hold of his ego. He knows how to adjust. As I said .. I can easily imagine him winning again. Not mentioning he was winning until the head kick.
honestly I do think Leon was broken for a few rounds there, but his coaches helped him stay in it. When it was on the feet he was never really pushing the action or trying to do much until it got to the last round. Then he really got a fire lit under him once his coaches spoke to him between 4 and 5. Hopefully next fight Leon comes in with the confidence out the gate rather than fighting timid
Yeah I disagreed with Weasels take about Leon, Im not saying he was completely checked out, but his body language showed he clearly was discouraged and like he was accepting the loss at times. As you said, coaches helped light a fire in him and he never gave up.
100% Sure he was defending and threw a shot here and there but also looked more like on auto pilot after round one. 9 out of 10 times he don't land that headkick and lose a decision - patient sniper my ass...
I think the altitude messed him up
He was definitely giving up in the 4th round, then his coaches went fuckin nuts
@@Chupe1766 yep! You can hear Weasel's bias in many of his breakdowns. Man was losing, took his chance and landed. The set-up wasn't as crisp as Weasel is making it seem. Can't take anything away from Leon though; he earned it.
Yeah I thought it was bizarre how they commentary kept claiming Edwards was "done." He definitely lost rounds 2-4 but it seemed obvious to me he was tired and trying to be calculated since he was aware of the takedown and KO threat. In a weird way great performance by both men.
I don't know how bizarre that is when his own corner is yelling at him to actually try
because if he didn;t land that shot, he was done
Do you hear yourself? “Idk why everyone was saying he was done when he CLEARLY lost rounds 2-4”
@@wh3elson He clearly lost the rounds but I never saw him as done which was proven tru in the 5th.
Excellent content as always. Now that the armor of Kamaru has been opened a first time it's going to be very interesting to see how he comes back mentally.

Crazy thing too is that in the post fight interview, Leon was fine! He said he had a few small knots on the head and a sore shin from where he knocked him out but fine otherwise. Usman was not actually doing any damage.
True but you don't win fights from constantly giving up the center backing up or getting taken down, Leon was rarely throwing anything and was loosing but what a headkick KO but I would almost call it a fluke
Exactly. He had some moments where he was loading up and throwing combos with Leon against the fence but most the shots were blocked/deflected. Once he figured that Leon was too dangerous on the feet, he decided to hug him, slap his face and knee Leon's thighs to a decision. Heck we even saw a return of Usman's Nightmare Foot Stomps.
@@joeschmoe3665 someone didnt watch the video
@@joeschmoe3665 "fluke" will probably be Usman's excuse.
Yeah, that's why the fight was so boring until the KO lol. Usman felt he was outmatched in the striking so he went back to being Snoozeman. He didn't even have any good ground and pound. Leon did more damage with the 1 round he had Usman down lol.
I was in the crowd for this one. And people were leaving. Lucie Pudilova sat next to my group immediately after her fight and even she left before the Leon KO. It was so loud everyone was screaming but I was quiet just stunned.
On point breakdown, thank you! 🥊🥊

Honestly, I find it crazy how some people say this was another example of a granit chin being cracked. Usman is tough as nails but he has shown several times in fights before this one that it's possible to hurt him. I hope we won't see a Woodley-esque downfall
I think Usman is a lot more mentally tough than Woodley
It won't be. Usman seems mentally very strong. His mental fortitude is his strength. Unfortunately a bit delusional as well. LHW, really? The guy was fighting tooth and nail with pillow fisted Colby Covington.
The fame was getting to his head too much
@@FifaKiddd he was dominating the fight
@@Reaching4Grapes read my comment again but slowly
Great video glad somebody has some insight
No one really knows what's happening in a fight until it's over. That's what makes it amazing.
2 important factors: 1)People really forget how how the altitude was affecting Leon's cardio. Usman is used to the altitude as he lives near that region so he wasn't getting tired as fast as Leon. 2) Leon's gameplan was absoultey shocking. Leon did back up and gave ground to Usman for most of the fight for no reason at all. It you want to beat Usman you have to pressure him back or at least stand your ground. Burns knocked Usman down when he pressured Usman in round 1. Colby had some few good mintues when he pressured Usman back. And now Leon KO'd Usman when he finally pushed Usman back in the 5th round. I was really suprised with Leon's gameplan as he allowed Usman to push him back easily and that Leon was extremely gun shy until the 5th round. If Leon wants to win the rematch he must stand his ground and be offensive on the feet right from the get go or otherwise he will likely lose the 3rd fight if he fights like he did tonight.
Couldn't have said better myself. Sadly there gonna still count Leon out
Leon claimed the center round 1. I think the fact that he backed up later towards the fight was a result of the altitude affecting his cardio. He even explained this in his interview with Olivi.
It’s not that deep. Usman will win the 3rd fight. Great fight, Leon killed it, but don’t see him beating Usman again.
It's because he wanted his back against the fence to better defend the takedowns.
These might go hand in hand tho. Leon may have been giving ground to Usman because he was exhausted from altitude
With his striking accuracy as good as it was, Leon needs to trust his striking on the rematch.
When so you make these? Lol! Middle of night!? Thanks always for such details! I always wait for these and know they’re available first thing next day!
Watching the after effects of the fight, tears in the ring and on the walk back... This meant everything to Mr. Edwards and you could see it on his face. The commentator who said Edwards checked out put his foot in his mouth, the timing omg
Din Thomas. He said it right after the fifth round started, I believe.

I was screaming sooo loud for like 5 mins straight.. my parents woke up and had to come to my room. This was Absouloutely wild 🤣
Same bro
U jumped from the bed to the sofa
Who do you got? Khamzat vs Edwards
@@nicklinnh khamzat
@@nicklinnh edwards is skilled but khamzats pressure and wrestling is crazy tbh that’s a hard bet
In his post fight, Leon said that this was one of his worst performances ... until the KO.
People always saying that after a win
@@BobSkiz1 and a loss 😆
Usman got KTFO by a guy only goin boud 30%
@@vevvenennevvev5945 And people had the nerve to compare usman to the goat GSP

Dude! YOU are an EXCELLENT analyst!!! I swear if I could mute Manny, Moe & Jack and just have do breakdowns live - Done!! Thank you for all of your outstanding content and keep up the good work.
The only thing in mma I can gaurentee is a quality breakdown from the Weasle.
It has been painful to follow Leon’s fighting career. Massive best wishes to him, his team, and his family!! :) Usman great & classy champ. Best wishes for him as well. Can’t wait to see both return.
a great and classy champ doesn't call dana during press conf.
"Everybody has a plan until you get kicked in the side of the head" Leon Edwards
Love your commentary
You nailed this weasle
I can't believe someone from my city is holding the belt....Rocky always knew he'd do it even against all odds! *Look at him now*
Remember how usman was talking about going to lhw. Imagine if that was rakic that landed the headkick. Dude literally might have been the first death in ufc
Lol. So true imagine jiri doing it to you
@@katana_3558 I was using rakic as a reference for the kick he landed on jimi that would probably actually kill usman
@@Slickgary007 true Those guys are too big and strong ...usman can do well in 185
Loved how Leon was setting up the high kick during the entire fight. It looked like he just wouldn’t have a chance to throw it and I was yelling at him to throw it. Great fights I think having the card at elevation really screwed a lot of fighters and really influenced the results.
The fights at elevation always mess with the fighters. I get having fights in different spots for the different crowds but I would’ve liked to have seen Jose Aldo at sea level, he’s known for slowing down past the 2nd unless he has the momentum
@@stealthyturtles Paulo costa and Luke rockhold were the biggest examples. Two guys that typically don’t have the worst cardio, completely gassed after the first round.
@@bigsmall2842 Yeah there was a few earlier fights where guys looked unusually gassed too. AJ Fletcher in the fight with Loosa stands out. At one point he got sprawled on and ended up completely flat face down on the canvas like he was taking a nap 😂The commentators said they never seen him tired like that too.
Yeah. I was actually thinking they should have events at that elevation. It kind of messed with it
Awesome breakdown!
There have not been many fighters that ive been happy that they have lost but Usman is definitely one of them.
So true
These things have to happen every 3 or 5 years. As crushing as it is, especially if you're an Usman fan, these are the moments in MMA that remind us no matter how good, great, or dominant a fighter may be, ANYBODY can lose. This just happened back in June with Jiri Glover fight and it happened with Silva Sonnen 1. If anything is consistent in this sport its that history likes to repeat itself.
Except khabib.29-0.never lost a round.
@@jonyhyder6506 Khabib could lose too, he just did the smart thing and retired on top in his prime
@@Jman12187 But he didn't.Thats what makes him Special.Another one is Floyed mayweater.Undefeated.
@@jonyhyder6506 special for sure, it's certainly harder to go undefeated in mma than it is in boxing, even with a padded record
@@jonyhyder6506 it's actually pretty easy accumulate a flawless pro record. Khabib is the world's largest can crusher nothing more
That kick landed and my first thought was "oh boy i cant wait to see the weasle video on this."
Leon Edwards got some inspiring corner advice too. That got me to this great vid.
Stood up a bit longer to wait for you to post your reaction! So happy for leon
"Now how does this affect Usman's legacy?"
Love Weasle's videos. Always eye opening. Really interesting that Leon was landing 73% of his shots.
Tried to stay up for the breakdown fell asleep but its the best thing to wake up in the morning to besides..
Yes! Excellent breakdown as always! There were couple moments nearing the ko where you can see Leon's leg slightly twitching, like a lot of muay thai guys do, mentally preparing for the head kick. He had that intent look about him nearing the ko too. He almost gave me a heart attack though cuz I put money on him.
P4P status - gone Never KO’d - gone Perfect TD defence - gone Winning streak - gone one fight before he ties Silva LHW hopes - dead Boxing money fight - never happening Three kings - down to two. See you soon Izzy...
Dang he took everything from usman
Yee and the fact that Leon has not been able to KO any of his opponents before in 9 fights. He might have pillow hands but bro he got that titanium chinbone.
Hell yeah brother...love seeing the arrogance knocked out these people who the fame goes to their head. Listening to that punk saying if you looked like me you'd dress like me in the presser and leon telling him he looks like an idiot. I thought he looked like Christmas 🎄
Taking what from who
Hey, at least, he got that Black Panther thing 🤷🏻♂️😂
What a time to be an MMA fan 👏🏾👏🏾
Well said brother
That in my new #1 moment in UFC history. I’ve never been shocked like that before. Insane.
I would love to see the 3rd fight but i think its about time someone called Usman out for his fouls (faking nut shots when hurt to the body, faking eye pokes and putting his hands in the fence). Its something that also happened in the Colby fight and who knows what will have happened if the fight continued. Leon's post fight interview made me teary though. "Look at me now!!!"
That kick did hit Usman in the crotch, it was clear in the 2nd angle of the replay. I get tired of some of these commentors that seem to love to claim that a low blow wasn't a low blow. Rogan does it all the time. Consider that Mr EPO Usman usually has a cardio advantage against anyone and everyone - so why would he be faking nut shots?
@@JumpingWatermelons Because he got hurt? Just like when he faked eye pokes? Dude literarly knows that they have to stop the action for a little bit if he calls a foul, so he does it when he's in trouble. Even if you don't wanna believe that, him and Burns are both ALWAYS AND REPEATEDLY hitting the back of the head against everyone who lets them. The judges should really fckng stop the fight and DQ one of them for that at this point. Otherwise, they're just gonna keep doing it and I don't think that it's a coincedence that they are (ir at least were) both from the Blackzillians, a gym famous for steroid use.
@@dustingaethje1332 watch the video. The kick hit his cup. I wasn't so sure about the eye poke though. I couldn't see the replay clearly. Joe or DC said it was Leon's thumb knuckle that hit the eye, which I think is not a poke, but on that one Usman probably couldn't tell the difference. Definitely agree about the likelihood of Usman using PEDs. But not sure what should be done.. Is USADA'S testing Insufficient? After TJ popped for EPO I read somewhere that USADA was only testing for EPO rarely, which, if true, is an incredible failure and would really erase whatever credibility they might have had
Also Herb Dean was the wrong ref for this fight. should have been Herzog.
Leon has the perfect body for fighting. Long, muscular in the perfect spots. Insane physique too.
And he has like a 27" waist. Think his bone structure is probably quite light which, at the same weight as others, probably makes him really strong. It looked that way when Kamaru couldn't get away from him in grappling situations and got visibly frustrated
Everyone counted him out. When I watched the prediction videos everyone went for Usman. The Usman Chimaev Fight was as good as made. This is an absolutely huge victory for Leon, last week people are saying "this is the pound for pound greatest fighter on the planet right now". This victory can't be understated, Amazing win ! I thought he could do it, but when I seen literally everyone pick Usman I did start to doubt he could win, But believe me I am so happy I was wrong. Congratulations Leon !
I was rooting for him but I thought usman would win going into the 5th I was 100% confident usman would win and he proved everyone wrong
Actually there were people who picked Leon to win. I can't remember who specifically aside from Adesanya (he posted a predictions video on his channel before the fight)
@@JumpingWatermelons The ONLY person I seen pick Leon was Bisping and I think that was obviously biased seeing as he is a fighter from the UK. I'm very surprised Adesanya picked him though given the fact him and Usman are so close. Picks are usualy even 50/50 ish, so the fact the two of us can only come up with two people proves my point.
@@jarethozb07 Well yeah, and the odd for Usman were high, maybe -350 or so? I don't think Usman and Adesanya are actually close, it's just that Usman, Adesanya, and Ngannou have a comradery of being African born champs. Adesanya was hanging out with Leon recently, so they might be sort of friends or close, not sure, but they definitely get along ok. But it was obvious Izzy was a bit torn with his choice, and then he hated seeing Usman knocked out like that.
Came out of nowhere, perfectly set up by Leon. Can’t wait for the rematch! Should be a good one
This was crazy man so much at stake for Leon and more for usman he was about to tie Silvas record and all the goat talk and 205 and was 57 seconds away and then boom out cold, crazy so happy for Leon I can tell usman is gutted after that loss
Yep Usman will be on the next “when trash talk goes wrong” video
Usman called another eye poke after being punched in the jaw, this type of stuff cannot be done forever because there’s a universal justice for real, the ko was a resume of the whole eye poke story
The replays showed no sound on that head kick. It was pure SHIN.
