"He's a great competitor but a dirty human being" spoken like a champ!!! Well done Leon rooting for the real life Rocky

[Turtlemannnn]

There's something heartbreaking about seeing one of the most dangerous men in the world almost break down crying in regards to the comments made about his father being murdered. It's the fight game but comments like that are just unacceptable. Colby lost a ton of respect not only from his performance but also from his comments.

[Romeoz]

Seeing Colby get outclassed was money well spent.

[magicsaint]

“A dirty human being”. Way to keep it simple and factual about Colby. Pure class shown by Leon by keeping his composure.

[thedigitalemotion]

Anyone who’s lost their dad, or any parent understands his pain in this interview.

[BonesBones-qxjd]

Leon is so humble, he even stopped his corner from making a drama in the ring. Didn't insult Colby but just facts for saying he's a terrible human being.

[rypb]

Leon is a true champion. He didn’t take the bait. He stayed composed and got the job done. He also showed that he’s a true mixed martial artist. Very well rounded mentally strong fighter.

[Riles]

I can’t even imagine the type of internal fortitude and strength it took to stay composed to execute a game plan against the guy who would say something so unthinkably cruel about your deceased father, just to sell a fight. Edwards has all of my respect.

[derekmanuel]

Bro earned a fan not only by his performance but by the way he humbly handled that situation. True champ. Respect.

[whatintheworld]

Leon was 13 years old when his father was murdered... arguably the worst age to lose a father. I'm so glad he was able to humiliate and beat Colby in the ring. Hopefully Leon wins his next fight to break the win streak record.

[elijahtchilembe-mpovie]

Colby embarrassed himself in front of the whole world.

[kainoizking]

“He’s a great competitor, just a dirty human being” perfectly sums up Covington.

[cheesesauce]

Leon just used Colby as a sparring partner to train his wrestling... In the title fight😂. I don't think there can be a bigger disrespect to a NCAA wrestler.

[mcmurwolfgrape]

Absolute class from Leon. “Dirty human being”. Spot on. Passing off gross disrespect as entertainment shouldn’t be celebrated, got what was coming to him.

[AMK]

My condolences to Colby Covington's father. I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a son, for Leon Edwards is now Colby's new daddy.

[slash]

And with that, Colby cements his legacy as the guy that stuttered through pressers and never got it done, no more free title shots 😎

[bmbm]

Bro just casually matched two of the best wrestlers in UFC history back to back with ease

[iz.azizzz]

The fact that Leon still praised him Colby as a good fighter shows how much of a humble good person he is

[zaqiakram]

Wow how classy is Leon Edwards? What a champion, nobody would of questioned him if he did respond in any derogatory manner but he didn't and didn't let his team either. HUGE RESPECT!! 👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽👊🏽

I stood awake until 5 am for this, and even though the fight was a bit disaapointing, seeing edwards beat him was amazing. Good beats evil
