These breakdowns are pretty much the best commentary you can find on an MMA fight.
Totally agree mate. Very technical
@@beaualoevv love Luke but he would also say that sayif is an elite mma mind, sayif once he retires from coaching which might be soon, deserves a commentary position
As cringe as he can be cejudos breakdowns are great as well
Man I love how they break down the chessmatch, showing you the arsenal of one fighter against the next. I remember watching the Makhachev and Oliveira breakdown. There was a moment I paused the video and sat back in awe. Absolute BlockBuster material. I can officially say I am a fan of Sayif's work!!
Totally agree. The man is knowledgeable, articulate, and engaging. Love that is co-host just lets him do his thing. Mad skills. Great rapport between these two analysts.
Got to be honest this was a much better show when @DanHardy / @fullreptile was doing it
They, how they? So ur saying will Ferrell said anything?
@@MetalFacedGamer Dan is a clown
@@The_Invisible_Man why do u say that?
I love Sayif man, he has so much fight iq, love hearin his breakdowns 🔥🤙
agreed
So knowledgeable
His corner work is impressive too. He sounds like a drill sergeant when he is yelling what to do. He is one of the best coaches in the game and his fighters love him too.
@@TheJVG thats why they call him the general haha you're 100% right, one of the best in the game
@@Bline-ip6et LOL perfect nickname for him! I didn't even know about that. I was actually shocked how calm and nice he sounded in this video in contrast to fight night.
We need more of your breakdowns more often! 🙌🏾
Wow! This was like a training session. I learned so much from this breakdown, much respect to Sayif, one of the greatest coaches without a doubt!
Always enjoy these breakdowns, that head kick by Leon Edwards was iconic 👏👏👏👏🦵
I always look forward to Sayif's breakdown of fights, absolutely genius
Say what you want about him, but I love Kamaru. Any time my kids won’t go to bed I just put on one of his fights and they’re asleep within the first round.
Don’t be fooled by Leon’s relaxed demeanour. Inside he has true grit and clever tactical awareness. He’s not shabby in the skills section either! Now we’ll see them fight on a level playing field, although Usman is the favourite to win, Leon will give it everything he’s got. Both are at the top of their game but I’m rooting for Rocky Edwards to pull off another sensational win.
I'm thinkin Leon via submission this time
@@petefunk Yes, I think if/when Leon wins, it'd be via a lower/knee kick (that badly compromise the big man's bad knees) or a submission. As the saying goes: it is what you don't see coming that hurts you the most. If Usman anticipated that head kick from Leon, like Leon also delivered in their first fight (which was explicitely discussed here, too), he would have blocked it with his right arm, like that kick of Leon's that Usman successfully block, first fight. But Usman didn't see that last kick coming, because the SET-UP Leon did was way too believable... and so Usman wanted to "get away" from that fast approaching fist; but instead, it's a decoy: the real kill shot was that left foot of Leon's that's already airborn and would arrive 1/100 of a second after that decoy fist. Now, a whole bunch of silly KZhead experts are babbling about "that lucky head kick that would never land again," Leon & Team LIKELY are working on the NEXT sudden-fight-ending kill shot that they TOTALLY never talk about in public, not once, since that last fight: (#1) chopping down the big, powerful wrestler's bad knees (notice how Usman could only methodically shuffle forward: he physically just can't make sudden directional changes, because those are harsh on is bad knee joints) of (#2) going for a BJJ maneuver on the mat, by timing a take-down from Usman. Leon, coaches, fans, analysts... EVERYONE knows Usman WILL take Leon down at some point. The trick is, as the great anaylst SAYIF SAUD here said, for Leon to MOVE FORWARD WITH PRE-EMPTIVE tactical maneuvers of his own... NOT always reacting to what the great wrestler is going to do from his side. Even as a BROWN BELT, which was what Leon was, when he took Usman's back and came within a few hair of sinking into his neck, Leon's BJJ is much better than Usman's black belt. Now, Leon too is a legit back belt. Now, as a black belt, as the champ, & being even more confident, more skilled, & more prime than both the first two times combined, Leon & Co should be able to come up with 1 or 2 preemptive tactical & skilled-based counter move to overcoming Usman's great wrestling and sheer strength. As Mr. Saud here said: just keep reacting to Usman is NOT going to win Leon the fight; NOR is backing into the fence. It is now at Sea Level (with no oxygen deprivation excuses, real or imaginary), and with youth, longer legs, and more speed & agility on his side, Leon should be moving in circles around the inner octagon region at all times... so if/when a take-down from Usman is successful, there ARE PLENTY OF ROOMS to do defensive scrambles & offensive BJJ maneuvers, even from the bottom . Ideally, Leon should do GSP types of fast, tactical, preemptive tackles as much as possible, to make sure Usman understand that two can play the game, even if in pure standing wrestling, he has superior skills to Leon: in opportunistic, GSP tackles, Leon should have NO PROBLEM taking the big man down...
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 shits crazy son
Leon by leg lock lol
Leon Edward scissorhands was almost in tears before the last rd because he knew he got dominated. Now he talks like he’s some great champion. Nate pillow fists diaz almost KO this chump. 🤡
I miss Hardy
You can see Dan’s breakdowns on BT sport channel and on his full reptile channel. He’s the best mma analyst.
I've watched a few breakdowns of this fight. This is by far the best one I've seen.
This man is a genius! Thank you so much coach for those minor details and making fighters GREAT!
Always looking forward to Sayif‘s breakdowns. ❤
That headkick will go down in history as one off the most important kick ever 20secs from the end off 5 rds definitely up there as one of the best ever..
Sayif breakdown and detail is masterclass. Gives great insight into mma fight game.
You know brendon hates these😂 has to stand there and nod his head for an hour hour😂
Love these breakdowns from Coach Saud
Genuinely enjoy Sayif's breakdowns.
These breakdowns are so enjoyable
That breakdown is on point 🙌🏼 much respect and appreciation for the analysis 🤜🏼
damn please we need your "BREAKDOWN" after every ufc big fight. its like "the Dessert after dinner"
This guy has the greatest breakdowns I’ve ever seen
Don't forget the front kick/rear leg body kick that Leon landed before. Usman, just like in the Covington fight, tried to play off a clean body shot/liver dig as a low blow and had a hurt body
Interesting to see how Usman bounces back from that devastating KO loss to Leon in this rematch
Усман ВЫРУБИТ ЛЕОНА поверь мне
All he has to do is not lean, easier said than done!
@@okkamera818 Я ЛЮБЛЮ АМЕРИКУ
@@okkamera818 senku verama4
His head will bounce off the canvas after he gets sent to the shadow realm again.
Sayif is one of the best brains in MMA id like to see him commentate sometime
I love how this guy breaks down each fight very knowledgeable info is great my fuy they need to give you a raise
Wow i love sayif’s breakdown!
Credit to Leon for his headshot; but after watching this breakdown, you can see that this fight wasn't close at all. If Usman keeps things on the ground, it's gonna be a very long day in the office for Leon.
100% Usman has won 6 out of 8 rounds against Leon
Thank you bro all Leon fans are there deceiving him saying he would beat Usman, he "got " this. They are in for some rude awakening.
@@Gratefulfellow Seems like this comment has aged terribly, Leon literally outstruck Usman for 5 full RDs, and stuffed over a dozen of his TD attempts making him look like an amateur. Usman just didn't have It In him, and I guess "the rude awakening" never came and Leon proved he was the better fighter.
@@darkclaw1462 fair play thumbs up to Leon he won even though it was close.
what a damn great job sayif is doing with these.
I love these breakdown videos! Sayif Saud is on fckin point every time!
this is a masterclass. love these videos !
Going to use this guide to the ultimate head kick on someone, thanks a bunch for the detailed breakdown!
Me too. I'm going out now to test it out on the streets.
Love the breakdown so much!!!!!!!! Every big fight I was waiting for this
Saif is such an underrated analyst👌😊
unbelievable masterclass sayif
Somewhere in the multiverse Leon knocks Kamaru out via 5th round head kick every time they fight
This analysis helps to learn this sport truly a lot. Thanks
Love these breakdowns!
imagine having to listen straight for 30 minutes without saying anything XDDDD
Such a good break down and as other people have pointed out learning what them little things fighters do that you have no clue about
They other guy just stands there and nods his head 😂😂😂
Incredible breakdown, thank you
Sayif Saud is amazing with the breakdown. Great explanations.
Undefeated Undisputed Champion of Breakdowns Sayif Saud! 54:44 We love you too Brenadan!
Sayf Saud is a pleasure to hear,and to lear. One of the the greathest to analise fighs. thank you sir!
I love this breakdowns. Many thanks
To this day I really thought Leon got lucky.......but damn I couldn’t be more wrong about that. This breakdown made me realize how technical Leon is. His fight IQ was really impressive in that fight. Respect son! Respect👊
Amazing fight breakdown
Sayif Saud has been slept on. He is an incredible coach/analyst.
these two fighters are evenly matched and have grown so much within the UFC. however i personally find kamaru usman to be the more complete fighter of the two. besides, it won't happen again to Usman and that's why I think Kamaru will take the fight next weekend.
Funny, I find Leon Edwards the more complete fighter and Usman a wrestling specialist. He doesn't grapple and only recently he's begun striking with his hands. No kicks. But he's a fckin beast of a wrestler!
@@TA-hf6si 100%. Kamaru got ok stand up but that’s only because of takedown threat. Leon more of a Jack of all trades
and still💪😤
Immaculate breakdown, this guy is very very good.
great work, thanks a lot
This guy can analyse your future
🤣🤣🤣
Get this man sayif a commentary gig
Excellent breakdown
Brilliant breakdown 💯
WE NEED MORE BREAKDOWNS UFC ... EVERY DANG NUMBERED EVENT
A show with Sayif Saud and Din Thomas would be awesome
Amazing breakdown 👍👍
Best breakdown person in the business !!
excellent breakdown .. can't wait
Love these. 👍
"now there goes Leon. He's starring to wrestle." I just thought that was so funny.
Amazing breakdown. To good
Usman finishes Leon. isaid it 🔥
Great breakdown ,Leon if fit and going forward WILL win the 3rd fight! from one striker to another . Smash him Leon. Love yr work Sayif
if the world was right we would have this man, krause and dan hardy doing duo work and interchanging positions breaking this stuff down.
Brenden so respectful 😂
that was beautiful breakdown
Saud is a best breakdown artist in the planet 🌍 Earth.
excellent breakdown d00ds, gj
Great breakdown
best brake downs he does ever!!!
If Leon hasn’t upgraded who he’s trained grappling with, then Usman takes it. Might even try to finish him by the 3rd round. If Leon is going to smoke him, then it’ll be in the 2nd round. The left headkick followed by the left cross is a fun combo to land on wrestlers. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Mind you, he needs to work on his grappling to keep his back off the cage. Underrated fight imo.
Gassed after R1, elevation had everything to do with it and that was evident. If Usman hasn’t worked on his defence and doesn’t cheat the entirety of the fight with glove and cage grabs, Leon wins again.
I’m interesting in seeing Leon’s grappling exchanges a little more. I think he’s more capable than you’re making him out to be.
@@xRhamnusia Usman is relentless with his cheating. He fakes low blows in every fight it seems. He did it in the 5th against Leon.
@@TimeGallon It's super annoying. He's vulnerable to body shots, fakes the low blow and whether it works or is called out by the replay.....he gets his recovery time. We need a good ref who knows.
these are so awesome
I really wonder how much Brendan Fitzgerald earns for staring 1 hour at Sayif Saud
Love ppv weeks when we get Sayif to breakdown fights
Quality Content.
Thanks for the video, UFC-ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP
Nothing but quality right here!!! Go LEON!
If it was a lucky shot by Leon then Usman would be saying that, it was a perfect setup by Leon, both fighters have been training for 7 months for this next fight, can’t wait to see how it unfolds
That was great
Top tier content 👍
What I learned after watching this... :Kamaru:"Let's get physical.... 🎶... Physical.... Physical... 🎵🎶💃
This is what i was waiting for.
I've seen some people say "This isn't the same without Dan Hardy" or "Bring back Dan Hardy". I'm a Brit and I've watched both Hardy's breakdown of this fight and Sayifs. Sayifs is better and more indepth! He mentions things that Dan doesn't even pick up on in his analysis.
精彩的比赛。👍👍
I love Trevor Whitman But you have to wonder- has Usman been grinding In the wrestling room like Leon? With those bad knees? Because obviously Trevor won't show the real training but I feel like Usman should be in a camp where he's based all in wrestling. Because trying to sharper your striking at 36, it's not a good idea. Usman will never been a great striker. & At this point, he should be grinding whatever meat he has in his ears, off for this camp..
Glad sayif is doing these instead of Krause
Leon needs credit for not jumping in with a ground and pound...I know it is necessary sometimes. But it isn't if you feel that knockout connection...that homerun swing when you just drop the bat and throw your arms up.
Best breakdowns of fights youll ever see Sayif Saud is a gem with these breakdowns.
Usman will play it safe and wrestle him
Este cara tem que falar sopre luta livre do país dele
Can’t Wait
Sayif needs to be a mainstay
This guy is awesome
i love this show!
USMAN WATCHING THIS TAKING NOTES LOL
dont forget all the fence grabbing by kamaru to stop being takendown like 3-4 times
sayif saud one of the best coaches in the game
