This woman did great! Kudos and keep her around

Two big questions to be answered for me in Edwards VS Usman 3.
1) Was the altitude really what slowed Leon down last fight? He seemed so dominant in the first round and when he went he seemed to be the better man, but Usman stayed far busier through rounds 2-4.
2) Can Usman come back mentally from that devastating knockout, he has such an aggressive bully style. Can you keep your swagger and mental edge against a guy once he sleeps you?
Cant wait for the trilogy!

Leon needs to ask Dana for a toitle foight

[DarkCloudNC]

I have a strange gut feeling he is going finish Usman again. And I was one of the people who said he had no chance at beating Usman in the 2nd fight. But Usman seems like he is more focused on doing movies or whatever. Idk man…. Praying Usman can get his belt back but I can see Leon putting Usman away again.

This may be a year of champion comebacks

Happy to see Leon on this stage after all the sacrifices. Great interviewer as well, keep her around.

I really feel like Leon felt what usman had and realized he escaped that fight by shear heart and will…. But I know he understands that he needs to step his game up which makes me think he is going to come ready and I believe Leon gets it done this third time. I think he is going to have trouble with either Khamzat or maybe Shavkat

The homie from ESPN FC! Great interview!can cover multiple sports 🤙🏼

[MikeySkywalker]

I love Leon, and I hope he can repeat. But it will be hard. Usman will take im down immediately, he better be ready.

Why people doubting leon edwards...
This guy got real talent

[ironfront]

It is kinda funny that even Alexis with her Jamaican twang cannot bring out any Jamaican in Leon's now very erdington ways.

[uufbcdz]

What’s this woman’s name? This was a great interview I’m actually impressed

[ogg]

Please keep her arround, she conducted a great interview

[corymmarules]

I think Leon found his future Baby Mama 😊

Usman wants blood revenge after seeing his little daughter cry when he was ko by leon Edward's

[S-tcnt]

I love Leon and his journey and his knockout win was one of the most inspirational sports moments ever.

Having said that, anyone who watched or is willing to rewatch that fight knows that it was headed to a unanimous decision for Usman. Usman was better for 85-90% of the fight on the ground, on the feet, and against the cage.

This is a must watch matchup, but I diasagree with folks who are dismissing Usman and crowning Leon unequivocally as the better fighter.

Who else thought cyborg was doing the interview for a sec

[ilijeganu]

Lets be honest if Leon cant touch Usmans jaw again at full power, Usman 49-46 him. Leon could attack the knees tho that could change everything
