Leon brave for telling his mom he doesn't want her food because he wants to eat healthy
😂 Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that
It isn't healthy to eat Leon's mom...I ate Leon's mom😎
😂😂
Eating healthy vs eating healthy to make weight for a fight are completely different, shows your understanding of making weight😂
lol 🧙🏼♂️
Colby saying “im a blue collar, hardworking American” then cutting to show him in a helicopter, country club with the president, and a yacht with girls was pure comedic timing 😂
21:56
I don’t think you understand what blue collar worker means
Lol u don't even know what a blue collar worker is 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The ammount of training he does and fighting in the cage is hard manual labor which falls under blue collar.
Thank you for seeing past the manipulation of the MAGA crew
@@11onejayAnd Trump is the most honest president to ever exist in the UFC
“Thank you to the UFC for giving a kid that was born with nothing, an opportunity to be something” -Leon
5:29 That moment when you’re the world champion and still scared to tell your Caribbean mother that you’re not eating her food 😂😂😂
He felt so bad😂
The press conference is gonna be wild can’t wait 🔥
Exactly lol
Wild🤔
Colby s gonna smoke him fr
Better stock up on bud lite
When is it?
💯 agree, Will colby be ready Ian’s wife book??
Leon really did prove everyone wrong. I remember when it was the 'darren till show' and leon was asking for the fight. Now look at the fighting landscape. Leon is a true champion
As psyched for Rakhmonov/Thompson as for the main event 😃
I feel like someone is getting finished shavkat with a 100% finish rate 17-0
Rakhmanov finishing thompson
Feel like that’s gonna be pretty easy for Rakhmanov
Leon's striking is so clean
Leon going super saiyan at the end with the steam was crazy
Colby and new.
Halfway man getting smashed by the champ
Colby in for a rude awakening!!🇬🇧👑
드레곤 에너지
Everyone knows that’s going to happen. I know I’m fully expecting it.
Leon is going to destroy Colby. This man has been overlooked his whole career, and guess what? Champion of the world beating the man that made Colby sit on the sidelines for a while... Twice.
Can’t wait for the press conference. I know Colby is gonna roast Ian22
And his woman 55.
Iykyk
Leon saying Colby "lacks the toughness" is a dumb comment no matter what happens in the fight Colby is a tough dude.
He’s trying to play with his head.
Listen as much as I don’t like Colby’s whole maga gimmick, the dude fought I believe it was 2 rounds with a broken jaw!!!!! And was steady taking solid shots and kept the pressure on Kamaru. Colby is a tough mofo.
@ericksimmons9188 He was hurt but Dana confirmed after the first Usman fight his jaw wasn't broken but he was rocked for sure.
No you’re just a bit of a colby fan , colby is tough but does lack the toughness to take Leon’s best shots
@@byronmedrano5371 ehh not really LOL. Edwards loses in the third
They’re doubting rocky again.
My heart says Colby, My brain says Leon
why explain the comment, back to the op, you weirdo haha @@alexhardy13
Always bet with your heart
@alexhardy13 Yeah that's what he said goofy
its not your heart, its your skin pigmentation lol
Yeah colbys had 2 loses Leon ain’t lost in 10 years
Let’s go Stephen WONDERBOY Thompson 🎉
lol Keep dreaming
Lol Shavkat tko or submission sorry
Wondersenior is about to get knocked tf out
Torn Shavkat and Wonderboy have to fight let the best man win 🫡
@@happymerchant1 Not a chance. Wonderboy is going to knock him out and shock all of the casuals 😊
This is gonna be a tremendous fight for the fans. Let's go!
Just on a side note: the first 4 minutes of this video got me HOOKED like crazy. Whoever edits these videos, you're a genius.
Leon's famous post fight interview should be inducted to the Hall of Fame.
Nope. Never will be.
"look at me now" them chills 🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🥶
If Leon gets thru even Colby and Belal he will be HOF. Shavkat and he’s WW goat.
@@kimbopizzaslicegsp has too many defenses it will be hard he has to beat those three and maybe one or two more high level guys
Leon AND STILL
Can’t root against Leon. True warrior and true character of a champion
warrior? loool
" Come on Leon man you got it man come on leon"!
L
Flyweight was almost abolished by Dana, now it's one of the most exciting division
Heart says Colby mind says Colby I can’t imagine him losing man 😢
Why?? How are people so sold on a guy with zero ranked wins who's been inactive for 2 years
@@markroyds23 "zErO rAnKeD wiNs" he has plenty of ranked wins. His opponents were ranked, and pretty high too, at the time he fought them.
@@georgivasilev8428ye he hasn’t had a good win in so long, he’s also much older than Leon
@@markroyds23because he is American, and so Americans is gonna d ride him as obvious
@@markroyds23So to like somebody you Need ranked wins?
Leon “DONT LET HIM BULLY YOU SON!” Edwards
Colby wins this And goes in an unstoppable run.
will he even defend the belt though is the question? Or will he just hold onto it like Conor did and hold up the division until they make an interim title fight and strip him?
@@MrRobjs83calm down.. he needs to win first 😅
He may win a couple but Shavkat is going to take the belt
😂 He gets 1 defence tops.
@@caseykellogg707 damn! good point. that could be Colby's first title defense.
I like Colby. I want him to take the shine but Edwards is a dangerous striker. His story was great and seeing him win that belt was one of the best moments in UFC history. Now can it happen for Colby? Cant wait for this fight.
Couldn’t agree more apart from the liking colby part 😂
I like both of these guys and have a hard time backing one fighter over the other. It’s the first time in a long time I feel like both fighters deserve it.
@@MiNoRCrLs237colby had the belt already and his run.Ima colby fan too but nothing that he’s done in the past two years showed that he “earns” that title.
A high level grappler will always take out a high level striker. And when that grappler is a champion college level wrestler, it's only going to be that much harder for the striker.
Colby is definitely taking that belt home! No doubt about! Leon is good but against Colby’s wrestling and mental strength I just don’t see Leon winning
Leon will be hard to beat!!
Too easy
Leon is notorious for fence and glove grabbing
@@DarkCloudNCso was usman? What’s your point. If he could take belal and usman whats an inactive and old Colby gonna do 🤦♂️
@@DarkCloudNCand Jones eye pokes and Usman fakes nut shots for breathers and Gane punching the back of the head, but everyone waves their hand away at those ones- all of it or none of it
Diaz tested his chin hes not unbeatable he can get hurt and bleed.
Anyone else skip the Leon parts?
No, why would anyone do that? Surely it's best to gain insight from both dudes, right?
Leon is the champion. Clown
Colby has me fired up. I love his fights and fight week with him. Saturday is going to be a banger.
edwards beat kamaru twice and kamaru beat colby twice. Enough said
@@truthcker53 That's MMA math and it doesn't work like that. Lets be honest until the headkick Leon Edwards was getting dominated by wrestling that fight. Colby is going to be even more relentless with the pressure and is in his prime. Kamaru had already turned that corner with injuries years ago and was hanging on. You could see in the trilogy with Leon how flat Kamaru was, I don't think he fights the same ever again.
all those words and your "logic" ... Your boy got starched 😄😄
@@michaellee340 He looked horrible last night. Being starched is being flatlined... that did not happen, but he does not deserve a rematch.
A 19 fight win streak and in the UFC top of the top cream of the crop in Mixed martial arts 🥋 is absolutely crazy and Leon well deserves everything good coming to him and his family! Bless 🙏🏼💪🏼👍🏼
19 fight win-streak ?
@@noelnoni7310 that’s what I said or the commentator on the video sad about Leon I’m just going off what they said so if they’re wrong, then I misspoke due to their inability to convey the truth
@@brambigdeli5021the commentary was about Leon breaking Usman’s 19 fight win streak.
@@brambigdeli5021 you misheard. It was about Leon trying to beat Usman’s 19 fight winning streak back in 2023
I think he’s on an 11/12 win streak not 19
Lets go Leon!!!! 💪🏾🇬🇧 🇯🇲
I am so ready for Colby to walk away shaking his head and acting like he doesn't get how he lost.
Colby is going to ragdoll your boy
Cope
the fact a stranger got u this butthurt to see him lose just shows how ur NPC brainceII is falling into his tricks
I like Leon but I realy want Colby to win.
@@adnankarout1245 alright we will see if 36 year old way past his prime sat out for 2 years gonna ragdoll the champ in his prime, you american goofs boutta learn saaahn
Colby got the same fans as Andrew tate
Better than all you gays and Joe Biden
Not even close
Seriously who tf is picking the music to go along with the highlights? Lol 😂😂
You could literally sell PPV tickets to the presser this weekend. Colby is going to destroy Ian Garry and Leon 😭
As well as in the octagon
“Destroy” means lay on the man and get get dropped from jabs 😂
@@oneplus113Tlmfao he may have held an interim belt, but Leon beat Kamaru for the real belt. Twice.
Not just by knocking him out, but by domination in fight 3.
Colby couldn’t beat Kamaru, and he also got dropped by a washed Masvidal who was knocked out cold by Usman. Colby’s a tough bastard but Leon is a different breed. He’s been with the same coach his whole life. Colby has changed gyms and coaches so much. That’s what makes Leon the champion he is. DISCIPLINE.
Also why would the UFC jump a person like Shakvat who clearly is going to be a better opponent, it just won’t sell ppv. Colby is a once a year fighter, Shakvat fought twice in 2022 and just fought this year and won all three.. you colby fans are crazy. This dude has had so many chances for the belt, so he better win this one if not he’s gone.
@@TheCooke1738 excuses pre loaded
Colby taking back the belt and Donnie taking back the White House. Chaos is coming baby!
Well, he couldn't make it against Usman... Edwards by TKO Round 3
😂
@@absonsimon5444 it was quite funny indeed...
Let's FOOKIN go Colby. Murk this boy.
Colby ain’t murked anyone bro !🙄
🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪 I don’t know about knock out, but I’m expecting decision victory for Covington
@@thomasyates616your boy leon getting his face smashed in on Saturday night
First round Colby goes to sleep💤
Haha not happening
Im from hialeah fl so of course im rooting for colby.Every time i see leon i think of a 3piece abd soda.seeing his interaction with his mother i love the guy
Leon Edwards, will solidify again he is the True Champion. No Doubt. ⚔️🎖️P4P
Omitting Aniks call of “but that is not the cloth from which he is cut” right before the head kick is single handedly the biggest miss of any countdown video put out by the UFC.
What…a…miss. But generally these are great so we can let it slide
cmon bruh they do this every month....
@@mdayaan7573 I’m not sure what you mean by that. Like they make one video a month so they shouldn’t miss? Or they do this once a month so we should expect misses?
Either way that was probably one of the most iconic MMA calls of all time. If not the greatest.
Colby getting it done. And new.
How? He can't finish a fight... So you're hoping for a close decision win?
@@user-rs1iq3kt6l They've got the same amount of finishes in their last 5 fights
Amaaaaaazing grace
How sweet the sound
First I'm hearing of Covington being a grappling world champion
He never subs anyone and here we find out he's a grappling champ who subbed black belts
First time im hearing of him grappling outside of wrestling
Obviously, you don’t know his record because you said does not some anyone? He literally has two submission victories. And he is always threatening submissions. Always. So yeah he definitely can win by submission. He’s done it twice.
@@youtubeconnollyfamilyagainst no namers.
@@pchiethegreat1khabib had most of his wins against no- namers
@@Culture_2520 Irrelevant when Khabib beat the best guys in his division and made it look easy. The only thing that matters is what Khabib did against elite competition, he dominated them.
@@madgavin7568Kebab beat 2-3 guys buddy.
All of them had been finished by ko or sub multiple times.
There's nothing special about his wins
Colby is getting that welterweight belt on dec 16 2023
Lets go Colby from England ☝🏻💯
Colby by decision. Book it!
youre delusional bro colby gonna get outclassed
I want Colby to win and then fight Islam at ufc 300
Same
Headshot dead leon beat usman twice people say usman is over the hill but look at his last performance against a dangerous fighter
Leon is underrated
Leon lost every round in the first fight against Usman except his headkick. The second fight Usman was clearly injured as his knees are gone.
@@chiquita683 that’s a narrative that began AFTER the fight
@@poofbah431
Usmans had terrible knees before he won the title.
I don’t. Know where you’ve been. That’s why he turned into more of a striker.
@@oldironsides4107 I’m saying that people saying his knees are the reason for the loss in the second fight. We could have made that the excuse for losing this entire time had Usman lost earlier
And he never turned into more of a striker because of his knees. He got better at striking as time went on and desired to knock out Jorge to shut people up. That’s another example of a particular narrative starting after a fight ie Usman knocks out Jorge, everyone says “yeah he’s more of a striker now”
Can’t wait for the presser
This is Colby’s toughest challenge yet, hope he has a good game plan to beat Leon. Colby needs to fight on inside and wear Leon down break him.
DONT LET HIM BULLY YOU!!!
The press conference tho gonna be crazy
This is 1 of those fights where i don't want either guy to win😅
Nobody cares 😂😂😂
I lov the background music so deep n scary
Let's go Colby and new 🙏
Let’s go champ!!!
I'm so excited for this game that I can't sleep!!!!
Leon's mother is a beautiful person ❤️
STACKED card! Possibly card of the year. I genuinely don’t see how Colby can win this fight, i don’t feel his pressure and volume is enough to stop Leon. Should be a banger either way! 🔥
yea. u never know tho bc look at what both the seans did a couple months ago
@@swavyZu i Hope you’re not relying on an outcome based off a meme. It would be wild, but I really hope that’s not what you’re banking on.
@@toocool986Leon has one way to win, a lucky shot that catches Colby off guard. Colby wins every other way
I disagree. I think Colby wins with dominating ground control
@@toocool986 wym. upsets happen all the time in combat sports. I aint relying on that 1 meme
Colby is going to sleep with that left kick from Leon. Making that left kick great again! Head shot .... lol
"Imma bring that belt back so you guys can touch it" lol
Fight week is finally here. Can’t wait for the press conferences 😭
Lets go Leon send Colby to the shadow realm
Your boy leon getting his face smashed in on Saturday night
Won’t happen
@@capwb Erm no
@@capwb ok whatever u say little buddy lol
@@shreddedguy679 you don't like it?
STACKED!! One of the Best card ever in UFC History and maybe the 2023 best card, this is a gift to close this year so LETS GOOO!!!
Thanks UFC
Co main let's it down unfortunately
@@TylerDurden-cu6iz I would hate to be as ungrateful as you ngl
@Bunsen_Werner ungrateful? I'll be paying money for this ppv and the only fight i don't care for in the main card is the co main
@@TylerDurden-cu6iz i agree with you but it is what it is
Presser is gonna be LIT!
“They all doubted me” prt 2🔥
Difficult fight to call. Could go either way. I’ll definitely be watching
for sure. Leon has that fight ending potential. but colby can take his soul in a way that usman couldnt.
Easy win for leon.
I’m not sure who will win this Leon and Colby fight but my gut tells me it’ll be like the Usman fight with Colby’s high level wrestling taking Leon down. But Leon is a great striker - can he catch him like he did Usman or does Colby get the better of a moment like Nat Diaz did with that slap combo and capitalize on the ground and pound
Latinos for Colby
No way Colby is losing this one. The belt is back on US soil
hes definitely going to lose
So glad colbys fighting ....not letting him fight for 2 years is a waist of talent. Despite people who don't like him for his trash talk.... he fights hard and skills Are undeniable...i know Lawler want in his prime but what colby did to him was one of the best preformances you'll ever see.
he could’ve fought he wanted a title shot
The ufc offer Khamzat and Belal and Colby decided to wait.
This fight is trending off the charts
I love UFC

I like Leon but styles make fights and Colby is going to beat him from pillar to post for 5 full rounds.
If he couldnt do it to Usman why do you think he will do it to Leon after 2 years off?
Explain how his style is a bad match up for Leon, and explain how that style is different from Usmans
@@turdferguson8704 He couldn’t do it to Usman because styles make fights…Usman is a wrestler, which deterred Colby from trying to take him down, which means he was forced to stand with him. Leon is not as good a wrestler as Usman is, so Colby will be going for those takedowns all night.
@@skeletonz7924 easily. Usman is a very patient fighter, whereas Colby is a pressure fighter: always moving forward with pressure wrestling and volume striking. Against Usman, Leon was able to plant his shots because Usman was standing in the pocket and trading with him. Colby won’t do that, he’ll have Edwards on his back foot all night from the pressure. Edwards has very good striking but he’s not a great counterstriker. He won’t be able to land the shots he did against Usman because Colby won’t be in the pocket with him, he’ll be rushing him with that volume striking and pressure wrestling. How’s that for ya?
@@mdwv872 Then why did Usman not wrestle fuck Leon? thats my point. Usman is a better wrestler then Colby and stronger yet he could not hold Leon down.
That pan shot from Brimingham to Miami 😂
People are probably thinking this is just a formality for Shavkat but it really isn't. Not after that last fight against Holland.
Wouldn't be surprised if Wonderboy wins.
You'll be extremely surprised boi
Wonderboy is 80 years old
@@chiquita683And that mattered in his last fight?
Wonder Pa is fu@ked, only way fight will be competitive if Shavkat throw out the grappling aspect
Shavkat's grappling is miles ahead of wonderboy but im hoping for a full standup battle for the fans atleast.
Typically British dudes cant wrestle well. But Leon will benefit from having 3 straight camps that focus on wrestling and grappling. People forget that after he lost to Usman he trained at AKA with DC and the Dagastanis
Leon is too much of a perfectionist to lose to someone like Colby. I’ll believe Shavkat, or even Usman, can do it before Colby
Yeah Leon might have the best defensive wrestling in the division.
@@ScoobayBelal and Shavkhat may have better defensive wrestling arguably
@@Scoobay He litterally got taken down with ease multiple times by bad knees Usman. And whats even more crazy is people think he will stuff all of colbys takedowns when Colby is a better wrestler.
They often have to travel outside the UK and go to American gyms to learn how to effectively wrestle, if not to shoot then at least to stop a take-down. In the case of Leon, it was not in vain because his wrestling both offensively and defensively, got better.
I can't wait for press conference 🎉
I can't get mad a colby. Hes a genuine man when comes down to his core being
The mentality of American police, American soldiers, American firefighters, American medical staff, and all the heroes of America is with him. American Steel Colby Covington's complete victory.
Lol that's a disrespect to the American people.. You mean goofy duckington.. 🤦♂️..
God bless
lol way to let him use you as marketing tool to gain popularity 😂
LESGO MAGA represent
America is a safe (in comparison) Western country. Try being a police officer in Russia or Slovakia or Africa. Different and dangerous worlds for first responders
And Still ! Go Leon !
AND STILL!!! FROM BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND...
Let's be honest. Colby covington is selling this fight not Edward ✂️ hands
Colby is perfect for those with wwe drama leanings, mos def the American market, will make the corporation a lot of money, true soldier
man i love Leon and respect him so much but i am also kinda rooting for Colby just cos he's such an animal and he's hilarious. Leon's really gonna have to stay on his feet or it's gonna turn into a real grind
Leon is so down to earth
I just hope the winner fights more than once a year.
Colby fans out here swearing he is this type of finisher. He's going to lose lol
Colby going to beat Leon like he tried to tax his tea 🦅
1812 🤫
Colby: “Making the division great again”
Leon: “Bubalalawatubabalulu”
So hyped
That’s why leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique.
*Edwards straight left hand counter TKO in round 3 or 4*
If this happens you will say “SeE I KnEw iT” so when you’re wrong will you admit you’re a clown?
What's the name of the song playing in the background at the end
damn colby the envy transfers with the belt you cold
All the best Colby!🤞👍☮️🌍
Love these videos
any Caribbean person knows when Leon could not eat his mom's food. it broke her heart.
Let's go baby, let's go !!!
i hope leon gonna win, he is great man
