It’s hard to explain, but seeing someone as dominant as Usman go stiff felt far more surreal than a normal KO. I almost felt like CG or something, like the impossible had happened. I’m not sure if anyone else felt this way but it was a seriously unreal feeling, kind of like Tony getting KO’d by Chandler or when Silva broke his leg.
Hard facts
@Adrian King yup usman lost his chance. There’s just not enough left to retry his historic run. What a run tho.
I’d add when Amanda went down to the list of surreal moments
One of them holly shit moments
@Old Med Student Which is the best headkick ko ever then? There definitely have been more impressive kos but what makes it the best is how many things were on the line for both fighters and that it completed, one of, if not the best comeback win in MMA history. Upsetting one of the most dominant champions the sport has ever seen
it’s insane how people thought edwards was defeated and now i’m watching a doctor explain how badly usman got knocked out
I’m 1 of em
It’s funny for the people who left the beginning of round 5 or 4 just to hear people going nuts outside the stadium lmao
Well to be fair he was losing the fight til he landed that hit kick in the last few minutes of the fifth.
His coaches even said quit feeling sorry for uself. The man was obsiously on the verge of being broke. Then he entered gu sensei eighth gate and finished one shot
Life can be funny huh 🤣 I was routing for Leon to win since this match got booked. Near the end of the fifth round, I said Leon doesn’t have the champion mentality yet, maybe next time and then…. BOOOM HEADSHOT!!!! I screamed out of excitement like a little bitch 😂 It’s nights like those money can’t buy
Easily one of the greatest come back Championship victories of all time. Thanks for the info doc
@Azim -said no one ever
Wasn’t really a comeback, Leon was landing like 75% of his sig shots, i.e. what this video is about.
@Fidget Cuties the game which is closest to what real world street fights looks like it’s definitely unpredictable sports and also the most important factor is never to lose hope till the very last moment yeahhhhhhhhhh
@EverRunic Jiri was also losing and almost got finished, but I guess it was back and forth.
@Fidget Cuties I feel that, it’s just that if someone is losing a fight handily, and then wins with a spectacular kick with a minute left in a title fight, that’s a comeback win. He literally came back from losing to win the title. That was my point. Some will call it a lucky kick. Some will say that he doesn’t deserve it. But no one can argue that he wasn’t losing, and then didn’t knock Usman unconscious.
Can’t wait for Part 3 in Wembley.
Usman’s soul was watching over his body.
@Uche yeah, no one plans to headkick their opponent, all that training for skills, endurance, technique, it was just luck, like the takedown and taking the back, lucky
@Uche luck would be throwing a random kick out of nowhere Chandler Style and even then it’s intended just luck that it landed with no set up, Leon actually set that up, he’s predominantly a kick-boxer and the 1-2 headkick is a pretty common drilled set up, wouldn’t be surprised if he practiced that in camp for the finish so let again I don’t think it was luck
It was actually lucky. Usman was slowing down and that created the opportunity for that shot. This wasn’t something that was planned in the training camp
Honestly that kick was lucky though. That’s why it was perfect. Anything short of that and he would have lost the fight. He was already losing anyway
He leaned into the kick too so he had momentum going against it. Nasty
@Still Smashin like I said, easier to find the free streams now than it was before he cried about it and then raised prices after his “scaretactics” Mr dana “I pay my fighters what I fucking want” white (barstool interview)
@Sam Edwards I feel you on that one. Thought you were a casual. My bad.
Got caught slipping lol
@Still Smashin I buy for Pfl and bellator, I don’t need to line espn and Dana’s wallet. The fighters know they will be paid exactly what they are worth at other companies
@Sam Edwards if you loved the sport, you would but the ppv
I can’t help not seeing you cheering after that brutal ko and then calmly creating a quick vid being calm and informative.
@Tina Minowski what exactly makes him a fraud?
@Sum boy lol he’s a fraud
@Tina Minowski well you dont have to watch sports to be a doctor or whatever he is
@Sum boy nope he doesn’t ever watch sports he just pretends to know what he’s saying!
@Narbnod aw I get you thought there was a reaction video I had to find lol
This KO feels like a glitch from a parallel universe. Like in our universe this wasn’t suppose to happen but it did.
@Father Leo facts
Que
another soul was bound to be taken by the cross high kick setup, leon was the harvester
Accurate
Edward’s takedown of Usman was another one of them.
”head shot bang done”-leon Edwaards
I’m happy for him well deserved truely humbled Usman and shocked the world.
“LOOK AT ME NOW. Legendary. Pound for pound. Headshot DEAD, That’s it” .
I thought he said Head shot bang dead lol
@Hasim made me a track star.🏃 you have zero idea what you’re talking about and it shows.
@Hasim made me a track star.🏃 gave credit ? Usman always says post fight “I was at 30%”. LOL
Love MMA and I love these breakdowns. Nearly every finish has a fascinating physiological explanation. Keep it up man
(John 3:16-18)
16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God sent His only begotten son the man Jesus Christ who had the fullness of God working IN Him to shed His blood for all your sins on the cross, died, was buried, and God who is a spirit raised Him from the dead on the 3rd day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
Breakdowns like this elevate how wild and unpredictable mma can really be. Especially from fighters who are as superhuman as usman
@Tarik I’m 30 and still get acne breakouts does that mean I’m on steroids? Lol just provide proof don’t just accuse ppl just because
@ishola adegoke him blatantly cheating during fights means he is lacking in morals, so ped usage would be nothing to him, 35 year old man with acne like a teenager lets get honest with our selves 😉
@Tarik you still haven’t provided any proof.
@ishola adegoke funny how you defend cheats, and not just cheats in terms of banned substances but cheats in the physical rules during fights which has all the proof you want going back since his days in TUF, but why wouldn’t you morals mean nothing to you
