Leon should fight 1 fight and then immediate rematch for Usman after his rest, he deserves it.
Love or hate Usman, his activity was much needed during the pandemic and onwards.

Costa should move down to like #8 for not being able to finish a man so exhausted he could barely stand up straight for 10 minutes
Also the UFC loves Till and McGregor, they're still ranked despite not doing jack **** but lose and sit on the shelf collecting injuries.

By the way nelson was nowhere near to winning that decision. Edwards dominated the fight against him then had a moment where he let nelson get on top in the 3rd. Easy mistake

Dudes fought like crazy and AJ donated a good pint of blood at least.
+ don't even get me started how both are probably only getting paid 10k + 10k (if win) and Aj probably only went home with like 3-5k from camp expenses to taxes.

I didn't really like the commentary for this card at all (Joe + DC), however that ****** commentary then made Leon's moment even more special with how they were burying him.
I can definitely see that moment win KO of the year, then a few years down the road when fans look back on it they'll be dismissive about it. It's a fight finish that definitely needs all the proper context applied to it to truly have someone appreciate how special it is, otherwise it's not much different than any other headkick KO you see in MMA.
