One minute left on the clock, the steps were heavy and hands loose, the whole crowd was silent and announcers called his early defeat. It was there, the whole fight. He was feeling the pressure but it's not the same guy usman was facing before, leon wanted it more. Leon felt it more. The guys raised by gangsters, born on the great land Jamaica had the whole UK on his back. Bermingham was cheering slowly with their hands clasped and hearts praying. One moment for eternal glory, mom's love travelled in his veins and the rage of redemption drove him sane. He counted the shots, moved right to throw the left. Boom! Headshot and the king was laying dead, there's a new king to hold the mantle and leon showed why was the Rocky afterall. He faced the creed to win it all. P4P Who he said and shook the world, showed will against the adversity and everyone was looking at him now. The new welterweight king is here, leon the fooking rocky Edwards showed the world. Millions will be inspired and the sport keeps on teaching us all, "anything can happen to anyone" This is the greatest sport of them all.

"Stop feeling sorry for yourself" just pierces through everything else. I am sure that one woke Leon up a bit. That “stop feeling sorry for yourself” just pierces the soul. Any man experiencing adversity can attest to it. This moment will remain forever in UFC history. This was quite literally like a rocky movie. Unbelievable leon. Leon's coach believed in him when he didn't believe in himself. Leon executed while his team set his mental trajectory in that critical last round. Truly amazing.

I'm Nigerian🇳🇬 and i love Usman alot, but seeing how Leon's team inspired him, even when he started doubting himself is truly amazing. Leon has had a rough time in the UFC and i believe he deserves his measure of happiness and success too. If Usman doesn't get the belt back, no problem, he's made already, i do hope this win is only the beginning of a wonderful career for Leon Edwards too. Congrats Champ.👊🏾

I can remember the feeling of utter despair as the rounds slipped away against Usman and I could see that Leon also felt the fight slipping away. The cornering was just sensational and exactly what was needed, it could have come straight out of a inspirational speech from an unbelievable hollywood film. I'm so happy for Leon and his team. Everytime I drive past Leon's giant poster near Birmingham City Centre it makes me smile from ear to ear. The nice guy finally got rewarded for once.
