“Now dad, you proud of me dad” man that hit me like a stone. You showed him brother, bless you.

[ricardobjj]

The 125 pound division doesn't get enough respect. These guys are very skilled and always put up great fights

[GrantCareerCoaching]

The 'are you proud of me?' part had me choked up. Beautiful fight. Beautiful moment.

[charliecolleran]

Leon had his iconic “look at me now” speech but him asking his absent father if he was proud of him had a different type of deep emotion to it. Didn’t know much about him before but watching contenders becoming world champions and hearing the emotions is a different level of raw emotion coming from somebody. congratulations pantoja

[southside]

*That was a beautiful speech. You can tell he sacrificed everything for this moment and he damn near died in the cage tonight. He had Gilbert Burns crying, his wife and kids crying, he left everything he had in the octagon and pulled it off. You gotta respect that shit. Pure grit and determination.*

"my mom take care of me and my two brothers alone you know, now dad are you proud of me dad" what a call out of his absent father cold moment by Pantoja

[duConstantino]

Pantoja was working as taxi driver a few fights ago to pay the bills, what a warrior.

[macacovelho]

“Dad are you proud of me?” Holy shit what an epic comeback !!! That was deep.

Anyone who grew up without their father because he left and seen the struggle your mother and siblings had to go through you understood and felt every word he said…

[JermaineBall]

That crowd was absolutely terrible. Booing him after having a war like that. Congrats to Pantoja, he showed up tonight!

[talldarkshark]

Pantoja's words and struggle hit me HARD. Dude not only earned his title, but deserved it. One of the best post-fight interviews.

[BasedSly]

“are you proud of me now dad” damn man that was deep. Salute to pantoja he fought his heart out

[azmalkamalshamim]

I am no mma expert but scoring the bout 49-46 in favor of Moreno was insanity at its peak.

[Drpepperspray]

It was so sad when he said “are you proud of me now dad?” While the audience was booing. I hate when people boo a guy that worked his whole life for this moment and gets no respect from the audience

[PeterGriffingigity]

Both fighters improved massively since the last time they fought, Gutted for my boy Brandon but congrat to Pantoja.. Well deserved win.

[kyotofury]

this fight was one of the best MMA fight i’ve ever seen in my life, truly MMA at the highest display

[informationageenterprise]

What a great shot of Gilbert Burns and Glover Teixeira. Such heartfelt and kind men who are overjoyed for their countryman.

[joshuahahn]

Damn. Not gonna lie. I teared up when he said “are you proud of me now, dad? Are you proud of me?” I felt that. He’s got a fan here. ❤

[alex-]

Damn the emotions felt when he said "dad are you proud of me now", well deserved win

[navidahmed]

Pantoja, definitely looks like a person who have overcome a lots of hardships in his life. extremely happy for him, what an inspirational guy.
