That's why I love combat sports. You can be losing the whole fight and then win at the very end with one good move. This was reverse Silva Vs. Sonnen and I love it.

Leon has been the butt of jokes for so long in the weight class. He's had Colby, Masvidal and Usman fans mocking him, been passed over multiple times because he's not flashy enough and even during this fight week had parts of the fanbase not even considering the possibility of him winning, and he silenced all of them.
I don't think his reign is gonna be long, but good on the guy given what he's had to put up with.

Was reading the Sherdog play by play this morning then skipped to the see the final scores about halfway through when it looked like another impressive Usman defense. MMA is crazy man.

I can’t get over commentary that last round.
“Leon is a broken fighter, you can tell because there’s no eye contact with his trainer between rounds.”
“He’s just going to ride this out and take a moral victory making it to deci- OHHHHHHHHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!”

Love Usman... but great to see some new blood. The rematch will probably do a solid number (assuming Usman gets an immediate rematch). The only negative to Edwards getting the title is that I'm sure blowhard Covington will pick up his talking again.

Wild stuff.

Watching the other fighters reactions via social media and stuff is certainly something:
Conor posted something like “who’s best pound for pound now?” I don’t know but it’s not you, guy.
Khamzat Chimaev is laughing about it not realizing that he’s not going to get a title fight for at least a year now.
Haven’t seen Colby post anything yet, so I can only assume that he has two broken thumbs.

If I’m a UFC champion and Dana White referred to me as the GOAT in my weight class I’d be screaming “motherf***er, you just cursed my ass!!!”
