Leon Edwards' 8-fight Win Streak 

Its almost like it is his fault, turned down wonderboy 2-3 times, stayed inactive for almost 2 years, the only big names he fought are guys who are 155ers, one of them in which Conor beat in less than a minute, just look at the size between him and RDA how that fuck was ever made and he still did nothing spectacular. This is not the guy who will hold the belt, probably ever. Side note: Dont forget he is only fighting on his card because the UFC removed him from the rankings for inactivity, they had to blackmail him to fight and even then he was fighting a guy who is not even in the top 10 and now he is fighting number 13 and thinks he deserves a title shot after it.

@@meankronen8217 Yup, i feel like Belal will spoil the return for him. He was preparing for wrestlers Woodley and Hamzat, so he feels like he is more than ready to beat a nr 13 wrestler. I don't like this mentality, walking on glass to get a title shot. IF he fought wonderboy he would've already fought for the title by now.

@Abdullah Jaber yea but he milked it, Daren Till fought like 2 times during the same locked down restrictions in the u.k.

Yo this is facts😂😂

@@meankronen8217 I feel like because of what happen between him and masvidal it will sell tickets and I for one would love to see them settle it in the octagon...

He uploaded it while packing his sh *t

Leon doesn't promote himself. The UFC does what they can with a very boring guy

@@isakdahl7875 You say that like its unreasonable for your organisation to promote you when you are a top 5 Welterweight. Just like what they are doing now, he isn’t as boring as you make it out either. You probably weren’t a fan since he last fought. Most fans know Edwards, albeit personality wise he isn’t extremely memorable. That being said neither really is Usman, on top of that Usman decisioned people like Leon for most his career and only recently after being champ has he even got a big following. People are pretty acquiesced about Leon being boring and not a good fighter at the moment but thats the community I suppose.

Long as he's not boring where it counts in the cage , shouldn't have act like a 15 yr old to be top guy .

@@user-dq5hp8mz3p they do promote him. They just can't promote him well because he doesnt say or do anything interesting. Ive been watching long before Leon debuted.

Ben Askren made history as the fastest ass when he tried to make that move.

Leon is a beast 🙌

leon is like the welterweight mighty mouse

fr i gasped bruh i was already saying to myself as it happened “damn leon actually was a powerhouse”

For real, I love this guys style his style is such torture cause you really can’t do much, he has something to everything he counters the counters and is constantly doing something. If anything Leon Edwards might be one of the most unpredictable non-stop fighter in the welterweight division besides GSP and the other welterweight greats he has potential to be one of the greats.

If anything he could possibly already be at the spot for one of the greats.

@@someonerandom6208 I feel like getting beat up by him for 15-25 min sucks way worse then getting knocked out too , most fighters say the ones that don’t put you out hurt the most

Didn’t Leon just knocked a dude out in 8 seconds

@@affordablepropertymaintena9213 He saying he’s not a finisher, like he doesn’t finish his fights frequently, one fast KO doesn’t make you a finisher, Ngaunnu is a example of one

What if charles oliveira pulls off something like that

@@kkm4581 Islam's head kick is as smooth, in Muay Thai style, as Leon's. So while both Charles and Islam could do it, if they land, I think probability says if one man is to do it, it'd be Islam, not Charles. Both guys have elite MMA Muay Thai --- they could never do 100% Muay Thai in MMA because of rules and because the opponent is able to use so many more weapons than in strict Muay Thai --- but, again, Islam's elbow, kicks, and knees are classic, smooth Muay Thai, whereas Charles' approach is straight up, stiff. Very efficient, yes, but not as smooth. Islam integrated another elite feature to his Muay Thai: his elite head and body movements, borrowed from elite boxing. Again, contrast/compare that to Charles straight forward in aggression and keep the head center lined all the time... telling his opponent: you either move or I will clinch up and sub you. Can't do that to a next level wrestler like Islam (whose BJJ is a near-peer BJJ to Charles), unfortunately, for Charles, the next level BJJ guy, who has DECENT but not near-peer wrestling to Islam... (Anyway, I've watched Muay Thai for decades, since I was a small boy, in Thailand, so I know it, when I see a good Muay Thai approach... and there are many different approaches by different individuals...)

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 bruh you wrote a whole essay on whether or not a kick would land ? 🤦‍♂️ sorry that's just comical

@@josiahgonzalez942 so what, bitch about it...

@@josiahgonzalez942 there are people who contribute something to a space, and there are people who take away and undermine. Which one are you

My man. Respect for watching after that amazing ko. He got the finish of all finishes to win the belt.

Yea and yet Cowboy manages to block it.

@@SlickSkiMask If he pressures Usman he wins. He's got the better striking and Bjj. But he backed up too easily in this fight. He's gonna be more confident after murdering Usman in the last minute.

@@godflow2854 He was saved by Herb Dean resetting a working Usman against the cage. If Herb didn't interfere he probably would have gotten taken down. Also if Usman wasn't trying to entertain he could have easily jogged his way around to a victory. Leon was given a shot.

@@SlickSkiMask Usman was stalling without landing or advancing position. Ref did the right thing. Usman got send to the shadow realm son.

6:21 lol leon has been saying it before Usman.

I dont think people care about wins so much, because of his personality. He is genuinly a bitch of a person

Not really. He's fighting has beens lol

Or being sliced up with a 3 piece (I'm sorry I saw the opportunity and took it)

He's a decision fighter... I guarantee you're not buying a PPV or tickets if Edwards is the main event

@@lambdalambdalambda257 i like him

@@lambdalambdalambda257 Oh I am, if he's fighting a finisher like Usman🔥🤣

@@WoodzUppMediaTV remember a year ago when people said usman is a boring fighter?😂

@@lambdalambdalambda257 atleast he’s not a nuthugger like Colby

Facts the amount of beasts he faced is literally insaneeee

Don’t make no sense!! I think his career is legit HOF worthy, although some may not agree.

That was literally my first thought

Same with Izzy’s 20-0 promotion with his fight against the lucky hangman’s rope Poland Warrior.

don't jinx it

Tony's way better than Edward's lol

@@kingsmokes733 I'm not sure if "lucky" is the word when Izzy got outclassed by Jan in every possible way.

Lmao shut up

Yea people don’t notice that even wrestlers could not control and keep him on the ground for long ..

i agree but imo he’s not great at keep people down for very long.

And great physique!

I dont think people care about wins so much, because of his personality. He is genuinly a bitch of a person

Does have potential no doubt but his best wins are againat an old ass rda and cowboy so lets just wait a bit and see what he does. Even if he beats Muhammad yippy do

@@MrSturdystratus Disagree, his best win is Luque. But more importantly this shows him outstriking Luque & Cerrone, clinching well with RDA & Cerrone & out grappling Tumenov. There aren't many guys out here who would have those same highlights. To be that well rounded is impressive against any competition in the top 15, which a lot of these opponents are/were. When guys like Masvidal & Colby are turning him down, that should tell you all about how good he is.

Totally agree mate very legitimate win for leon

@@vipr1142 how so

Masvidal would whoop him

@@mardavdel 😂🤣, now that's a good joke

@@Saul1913 what’s Leon going to do out strike Masvidal? Funny. What’s he going to do take him down? Masvidal has solid takedown defense and Leon doesn’t have anywhere near the caliber of wrestling that Usman does. Don’t get me wrong Masvidal won’t be a champion but he will sure as hell smack Leon.

@@Zizoujr11what gives you this opinion ?

yeah watching him deteriorate interview after interview over the past decade has not been fun 😢

I'm surprised he hasn't retired sooner with all the damage from mcgregor and justin gaethje as well

Cowboy took so much damage before he even not sparring anymore

Donald cerrones ass lol he's just another journeyman

@@slxyerxo Just a bruiser

Standing in the center of the octagon, wildly trading punches when you are ahead on the score card is the dumbest thing to do. I'm sure those yelling at him include his coaches, thus his hesitation.

Leon is overrated he couldn’t even finish an old cerrone

Well, they made this video because they couldn't do the "top finishes" video with him because the video would be like 1 minute long.

Dude isn’t a finisher. Just grinds for points.

@Marcus Middleton let go of what?u sighs it yourself he winning the fight why be an idiot and exchange with him abs risk getting knocked out knowing im fucking winning the fight lol what sense dies that make bruh come on🤦🏿

Or to gouge some more eyes, that'll keep tongues wagging for sure.

Exactly. Cerrone is a good striker so as he was dodging that left, his arm was already up and partially blocked that head kick. On the other hand, Usman fell for the feint. Good strikers can predict shots well.

Diaz VS Ferguson @175 in Mexico.

Isn't he fucking awesome?

beautiful observation

‘Jakarta?’ ‘No, she took the plane’

I actually think he will beat Usman. He didn’t do horrible the first time they fought even tho he wasn’t training grappling at a high level and he’s definitely improved in that department. If he can avoid being controlled against the cage I can absolutely see him winning
