Leon Edwards is the UFC welterweight champion. He's travelled a long way in life to make it to the top.

Leon left Jamaica for Britain as a child, his is a story of gangs, his father's murder and finding a way out of a life of crime.

He hasn't often spoken about his past, but the new champion wants to use his story to guide others.
