Yeah i’m not a fan of belal either but I find colby far more annoying.
It is what it is though. Colby is getting cashed in on by the UFC. If he loses this 3rd title shot I think he retires and goes to WWE.
Leon the can crusher beat a bunch of nobodies and had people clamoring for his title shot. Didnt beat any real competition.
But goddamn, he KO’d Marty so I guess its all good.

Leon did 2 great things in MMA that’s it.
Heak kick KO’ing Usman
And poking the fuck out of B-Lol’s eye

And I think Belal had nothing for Leon for the little time the fight went. Leon hit him with the same sneaky kick he throws behind the straight. I really think getting ready for Usman has made Leon’s counter wrestling very good. I think Leon vs Colby should be good but I think Colby melts him in the later rounds. I like Leon and hope he has all the success in the world. If he beats Colby, I think he’s good enough to beat anyone at welterweight.
pretty much. who else could have pulled it off in the division? And is it really Leons fault if he was not given better opponents? Doubt he was calling the shots on who he fought.
Are people forgetting that Tyron was the champ before Usman?
And lol at those saying Leon is beating nobody’s but backing Colby’s run…9 of Colby’s 12 ufc wins are against guys that are retired from being old or just not good fighters. I’m not a Leon fan but he’s better than Colby imo

I do think he’s better than Colby but kind of worded that opinion wrong…I think with his current run to the title and where they sit right now he’s had a better string of fights than Colby by a long shot

Colby isnt the champ though. Sure interim briefly. I think most of the comparisons shitting on Leon are comparing him to prior champs.
Colby is going to take this and I’m bet-level sure of it.

I didnt mean to pick on you. I just think Leon as champ criticism is interesting. The guys bringing up Colby are just deflecting. He isnt champ (yet?)

I think Hendricks, GSP, Lawler and even a none psychologically damaged Woodley would beat todays shit WWs

Heavyweight, 205, 185, 170 are the worst they have been in many years.

It is fucking incomprehensible that the 170 lb division has SO many monsters in it that simply aren’t fighting.
you’d hop to see him face better opponents, wheat would be ideal. to be fair, it’s totally *out-there and cereal that uk has a champ! wrestling pedigree is not en-grain-ed in us brits.
Edwards has fought in the UFC since 2014 so it’s damn near a decade of the best competition in the world. In his CAREER he has lost by DQ, split decision in his UFC debut, a decision loss to the 3rd greatest WW of all time and…no, thats it. He was beating Belal at the time of the eye poke. He’s never been finished. He beat a reigning linear champion that was on a 19 fight win streak with 5 straight title defenses. TWICE

The overall level of competition in the UFC is shit. Hence the constant pushing of new personalities and giving them hand picked opponents to put them over until they run into one of the three guys in their division that are any good.
