Big respect
@USMAN84kg
what a trilogy. Over 8 years we fought 13 rounds, over an hour together in the octagon and our rivalry will go down in history. Just pure competition at the highest level. I wish you and your family well 👊🏾
"Leon, f****** step up to the plate, bro. You begged and cried and did all this bulls*** before when I was fighting for the titles. Now you got the belt, let's go." —

Leon Edwards , I couldn’t be more happy for you. As an American champion in this game, I salute you, that was truly a job well done. Let me know if I can gift you a motorcycle or something for Christmas. Feel like I owe you one🙂
lol belal calm down son you’re the least intimidating person in the organisation. I already told UFC I don’t mind I’ll fight you next that’s easy work. You just have to figure out why they hate you so much 😂
Dana White says Leon Edwards was offered three opponents for UFC 300 and said yes to all of them.
"Was willing to take on anybody. Kid's an absolute stud. Leon, thank you. Much respect."
Disappointed but honestly I knew this fraud didn't want to fight me anyway. He was just a stop off on the way to the title. The goal remains the same. Much needed family time now,
@usman84kg
i will see you soon.
Nate just dribbled for an hour about wanting to fight at 170 against winners... let’s see it then

in the world. Let’s go if you still think you're a real one
Another setback, but when you come from the mud you learn to put everything in perspective. This virus has affected many lives and families much worse than mine. Looking forward to getting this rebooked soon, thank you all for the well wishes
For those asking, yes I got offered the shot before Gilbert. We couldn't make it work this time. 2020 has been tough for me on this side of the world, as it has been for alot of people, but fuck it, you cant stop what is inevitable.
England deserves this. Leon deserves this 🏴🏆
Dana is 𝑷𝑼𝑴𝑷𝑬𝑫. We are 𝑷𝑼𝑴𝑷𝑬𝑫.

I'm still in the rankings. Fuck all the inactivity, the only reason I havent fought is because all these so called top guys turned me down.
Khamzat want to fight then?
Could have fought number 3, yet chose to fight number 12. Eventually this pussy will fight me, I’m all for money fights but watching two journey men go at it again when it wasn’t even competitive is a joke. And this is the "BMF" 😂
6 days. 20 pounds. Flew to Vegas. Vegas to Abu Dhabi. Fought the champ. Created the damage. He’s out for a minute. I’ve been ready since I got back. Time to move the division forward. Your move
#supernecessary
You got fucked up in the back for acting like you were tight.
This fight shit is the same everywere, in or out of the cage... don’t get punked ever.
That goes for kabob also,
you guys are in last place now lol
If the UFC doesn’t feel comfortable doing Leon’s first defense at an open air stadium in England, they should definitely do it here. Only a couple hours drive from Birmingham. It’s perfect. No question they can fill the house if they do it UK v the World.
A new start, a new home 🇯🇲🏴
Out of the streets and into the cage 👊
From Kingston to Birmingham: This is

COVID19 is not the only crisis in the UK currently. We MUST take a stand against the knife and gun violence that is devastating our communities. Myself,
@POSTERBOYJM
and
@darrentill2
all faced the same issues growing up and we have come together to help our own cities.
Bad news Regarding Nate, I did offer when the fight was made to stay ready but the UFC unfortunately said no. So I won't be making the trip to NYC. But I will be ready for December 14th
See you soon champ
@Usman84KG
, I know you dont want to fight that hillbilly clown whos jaw you already broke. I’ll go do my part on may 15th then we running it back
#strapseason
Props to burns good win.
Woodley talks to much should focus on fighting not talking.
@USMAN84kg
I’m ready when you are 👊🏿
@ufc
@espn
I’m ready to go, airports are open in the uk.
Usman done what he needed to! Good win. Now somebody please go and throw that BMF title in the bin and whilst your there add Woodley’s name to my streak.
Everybody knows I would of smoked him. Gilbert get in line and you can get yours after me and Kamaru run it back.
Thank you San Antonio! Keep doubting me and I will continue to show you my level. Respect to RDA he’s a legend of this sport. We came saw and conquered 🇯🇲 🇬🇧

Has everyone realised the whole street jesus hard man shit was all just marketing yet? and
@GamebredFighter
is actually a shit journeyman? or people still think hes good?
In this game fans will love you or hate you at the drop of a hat. Darren represent for England like a warrior. Respect. Darren, Jimi, Nathaniel, Danny, Arnold, Marc, Tom it’s us now in the UFC, England stand up!
Tyron Woodley writes on my IG that he accepted the Gilbert Burns fight for Saturday only, but then found out the event was off. He’s now turning his attention solely to Colby Covington again, whenever normalcy resumes.
