he was so broken even mently won't even look into his coaches eyes, then pulls put miracle kick,there's 0% chance Leon winning rematch


I don't know if he was broken, he never looked at Usman at the face off or when Usman came in marching him down prefight, never really responded to his corner. He was in his own zone whether it was working or not it and eventually did

Leon got lucky the ref separated them with two minutes left "for the show", without that it would most probably be "and still"... But congrats to Leon, great kick, great run, all the best.

However herb Dean sometimes made some mistakes the past couple years, maybe he isn't as sharp as he used to be. It's whatever. A very good ref but not top anymore, for whatever reason.

He was trying to separate them earlier in the fight too telling Usman to "work, let's work" and i was like "wtf?", cause he was working full on with wrestling control and kneeing him already plenty of times when he told him to "work"..

Anyway he made some good calls too during the fight. Idk, i liked the rush and surprise of how it ended and i don't mind Leon as champ, but it was a bit lucky that he got space by the ref to be able to throw something out the last minutes.


this

Tognoni#1 or Herzog

I like Tognoni because he's very fair and not afraid to do the right thing, like going to the judges recently to see if they saw a tap with Bueno Silva/Egger, not afraid to take points when it's expected. Just seems unbiased and fair, but everyone messes up. Just don't be Mark Smith.

usman is 35 and just got rocked about as hard as you can, not everyone comes back 100% from that, once its happened, its easier to happen again

not fighting at altitude next fight would help leon a lot more too

i wouldnt be so confident he doesnt lose again

From getting almost slept by Nathan Diaz to melting the second best WW ever with 1 strike, what a weird sport.

True, but Edwards dominated Diaz in that fight, and people never remember Diaz being stunned and dazed by Edwards multiple times. Diaz is a tough mfer.

Almost like Edwards learned from that 5 round fight, that it can be over anytime. I was impressed with Edwards defense against Usman, even if he knew big shots were coming he had a high guard and would move off the fence after defending. Crazy finish tho.

Yah dc chin started slowly degrading after his first ko lost

It actually might even make usman gun shy,

But if usman sticks to his roots of grappling n control, he can win,
But it'll be boring

Herb dean did nothing wrong, he let every1 enjoy a very special moment in ufc history,

I trust those fans in the crowd will never forget that, n never forget the underdogs fire


I think usman and the wolf have around the same level of striking,

It's the power and wrestling that keeps them on top
