bro buying a brick tonight and might not make it alive tomorrow

That's a lot of dope and hookers

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

Happy for Leon. That looked like he was going out sad but that highlight and then promo after gonna live forever in UFC history

Rockhold/Costa was entertaining and glad Luke didnt get murdered in his last fight. Went out like a warrior even if he got his ass whooped most of the fight.

God damn Usman gotta be dying inside.

1st take down 1st loss

"Belt belongs to nobody, belt belongs to nobody"

Leon's gotta work on his post fight interviews, it's your belt buddy

I can't imagine if I were a ufc fighter and a huge underdog against the champ with all the analysts, fans, and other fighters even, rooting against me and nobody expecting me to win. With a swift knockout, makes me wanna just toss the belt and say fukk the title, nobody believed I could do it and I did.

Ugh Sherfront must be a cesspool rn
You know that bytch Covington about to come out from under that rock he's been under since they tried to book him to fight Chimaev

 

[Lord Beasley]

How dudes saying Usman should have coasted when people swear they hate that shyt

because they know it's the smartest thing to do in hindsight. Usman could've danced around for a minute and won that fight......or went for the lay-n-pray.

The third fight is definitely up for grabs, but after all the obstacles and doubt Leon had to go through on his way up it's nice to see.

Plus he has age on his side and Usman has undergone surgeries.

Young lion beats the old lion. But old lion will be back. He looked good up the that moment of a lack of concentration.

Well deserved from Leon though. Fought through everyone to get to this position. Khamzat gets to fight Nate Diaz.

Rematch.

 

[BigBrown21]

That was amazing. Leon won in spectacular fashion. I knew my Jamaican breh could do it.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

I like goin back and re-reading when threads like this take a turn

Everyone was writing him off what a comeback

 

[Mastamimd]

Fight ain't over til it's over

 

[profound]

I never consider shyt like that a fluke because it’s kill or be killed and Usman had a few chances to do damage but chose to embarrass Leon a little and win on points. That’s where he was defeated imo, Leon took the chance Kamuru wouldnt.

If usman got caught while pushing forward the narrative would have been why didn't he back off and play it safe with only 2 minutes left.
