@objective_evaluation Год назад

Head kick from the gods for sure…I respect the skill and talent it took to throw the kick but It’s still tough not to call it “lucky”. Watching someone get dominated for nearly 20min and have the awareness to throw that kick is amazing but he has a lot to prove in the trilogy.

@kiabtoomlauj6249 Год назад

Leon was so exhausted, from the ~5000ft Colorado-Utah elevation, he didn't know what's up or down & was just going through the motions; but his brother Fabian and his Muay Thai coach kept screaming for him to do the cross kick, the head kick they've been practicing for YEARS! And he listened to them, did the right-left hand throws, & executed the left kick perfectly.

@Tjbensinnington 5 месяцев назад

I want leon to win, and I had that true disappointment feeling going into the fifth. However after what he did in the first, and his slightly having usmans back in the 4th standing up, I still always watch to hang onto hope. I watched the fifth and I definitely thought it was over but I always watch them thru because I appreciate the sport. And when it happened I originally though usman slipped, cuz the way he looked it looked like he way still there, but immediately I realized he did it. I screamed into my pillow in amazement, I did not like usman so I was hype, ( I like usman now after his class and the khamzat fight) then the post fight speech legit brought me to tears, I felt like it was the most real moment and wholesome moment with any fighter, i felt like my best friend just won a title, I felt like I knew leon, now he's my 2nd favorite fighter next to charley olives, I just wish charles spoke English, but charles is still my favorite due to his fight style, this moment changed how I will forever feel for the sport

@sharonshinde9640 Год назад

Brilliant sound editing to one of the most thrilling fights in and out of cage. Leon's team deserves all the credit in the world as they were fighting with him, feeding exactly the right instructions at the right time and fanning the spark in Leon till the epic head kick which sent shock waves throughout the mma world. They showed that a fighter, no matter how talented, they all need a team that believes in him, understands him and is willing to die with him.
