@@Always_a_Duelistfacts
Gotta go with Colby. Better tank, better mentally, and I think he wants it more. I thought he won the second fight against Usman. Leon is very skilled though.
Better tank only when he's holding that wrestling position wasting no energy a position that shouldn't be allowed holding with little baby shots to keep the position to run down a clock each round for a snide decision with no intentions of out right winning the fight how's his mentality Better never seen him knock any out in the final seconds of a fight he's already be mentally finished by then if he was losing a fight an he never won the 2nd usman fight lost the 1st round and second 10-8 an needed a knockout or submission before round 3 even started he landed 1 good shot at the end of the 3rd an had 2 competitive rounds in 4 and 5 after hiding by the cage fence for 3 rounds waiting for usman to gas out
36 yrs old, 2 year lay off, Leon has an amazing gas tank when not at altitude and as we've seen, Leon has great bjj and defensive wrestling. Colby picks up volume as thew fight goes on where as Leon throws the same volume consistently.; I see Leon taking the first 3 or 4 rounds tbh and winning a decision, we've already seen that pressure doesn't make Leon worse, it actually makes him better as all of his most active and best performances came against guys who weaponise cardio or pressure
Colby is too small with a short reach and kind of small for the division with pillow hands where Leon is big for the division at 6'2" with a long reach also well muscled and a elite striker with great takedown defense..Usman is a better wrestler than Colby and could not hold Leon down just like Colby can't and won't .
@@jlj777You are seriously the biggest casual I've ever seen. Leon is 6 foot exact, go look at his fight with Vicente. Also, he has a 74 inch reach, only 2 inches more than colby and Leon has 2 inches less reach than Kamaru with '76. Stop repeating the same dogs*** comment everywhere and actually do some research first you m*r*n.
@@jlj777 mma math doesn't work btw. Colby will pressure him to bad, the kicks only work if u give him distance. Colby will be straight up on the cage, and he wont be able to throw kickss..
Ian calling anyone insecure is hilarious 😂
Facts 😂
I got edwards 🇬🇧 he’s got better watch this space I’ll be back the 17th let’s go champ
Colby's got this....AND NEW!
Lol get off your knees. Colby sucks
In his last fight with Kamaru Usman I didn't see Leon getting tired
Facts. This dude narrating seems unaware of the Salty Lake Gas Threat which affected the first.....HOWEVER Leon still survived 5 rounds and KO'd Usman in the 5th showing sharpness and speed were never fully lost
That is true, but usman wasn't putting on the pressure like the first fight
@@user-iq8xm3xg2j he couldn't, Leon was in top form.
@@user-iq8xm3xg2jalso marty was a shell of himself after the 2 colby fights his knees were worse.
If the usman that showed up for colby leon wouldnt have had a chance.
But im so glad leon kicked his head off cant stand that cheating pos.
Everyone uses colbys 2 losses marty but forget to address the fact marty needed cheating and a biased ref in the 1st fight then the 2nd most ppl n most fighters think he won.
Only casuals hate colby but love conor all cuz of tds ppl are just stupid n tribal this is mma not a popularity contest
Kamaru did not wrestle or clinch with Leon enough. Kamaru is now more of a striker.
Colby drags him to the deep end, 50-45
I agree bro. Colby's relentless pressure pace striking and wrestling backed up with his crazy cardio will overwhelm Leon as the fight progresses. People are really underestimating Colby he is super dangerous and one of the best fighters in the world. Can't wait I'm from the UK but I'm rooting for Colby been watching him for years. Belt going to Miami :)
Almost got the score correct, but backwards. Leon beat him 49-46 with ease.
don't ever go to vegas, colby got destroyed EASILY lol
Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahhaahahahahahahahahaha
@@Hassan-zt8etlol get off your knees. Colby sucks

He's not dangerous..and that's his biggest problem in this fight..if he win we all know it will be a late stoppage because of volume or because of decision...he's not really dangerous.
Well olby was completely dominated, that's how it panned out. colby is history.
He’s literally the only man to weaponize pace like Khabib did
Nick and Nate Diaz was the ones that started it fym
man’s not seen merab
@@trueteller3239 Bro Merab has a crazy pace, he just sucks though. Man literally held Aldo against a cage for 15 minutes. It was awful. He’s good at grappling, but he can’t really OUT-grapple anyone. He’s having a hard time getting finishes
what about prime Tony? Prime Max?
Lmao Colby sucks. Don’t ever compare that loser to khabib
Ian Garry speaking about anyone else being insecure is hilarious
Im betting the bank on Colby.
Same
He’s fumbled every title fight he’s been in
hahaah i'll take that bet
Absolutely not I’m a huge Colby fan he loses I hope not though
@@Bangbangmf30 I really don’t see how Covington loses. It’s a very bad matchup for Leon stylistically. The chain wrestling will overwhelm Leon. Just like merab did to Yan.
Great content
At the end of the day Covington lost to Usman twice & Leon beat Usman twice.
Speak on.
its either gonna be colvy by wrestle fuck or Leon is gonna Piece him up
The Leon gets tried narrative is stupid.
Leon fought at elevation in the 2nd Usman fight which led to his exhaustion. Not an example of a poor gas tank.
Against Nate Diaz, people forget that Leon won 4 rounds convincingly prior to that 1-2 that wobbled him. Leon just took his foot of the gas, he didn't gas out.
Song in background name ?
Colby takes it
Colby is my favorite UFC fighter - no one has more heart and drive
If you think Leon is gonna loose this one your quite misguided
Hope your betting the bank on mumble mouth then. Make my odds better.
@@joesalisbury4819lmao. Disappeared
Colby by domination
Lol
Fight of the year, Edwards is going to have his hands full against Covington, he's gonna give Edwards a hell of a fight
The problem with Colby is he has pillow hands
..hes actually very similar to Chael Sonnen ..he has elite wrestling great pressure..great gas tank..and can beat the vast majority of guys in the division..
But he has pillow hands..so even though hes dominating a fight..hes not finishing opponants..
Hes not the biggest,strongest,faster, most powerful..but hes gonna keep going..
While ppl say Colby is a bad match up for Leon...Leons also a bad match up for Colby..
Leon is an elite striker...with good accuracy..power in most things and is dangerous til the very end of the fight..
We saw how those Anderson silva v Chael fights played out..Chael was dominant..wining rounds getting take downs tiring out asilva..but because of his his power he couldn't get the finish..then silva would finish late.
Colby V Leon .i see going the same way..colby having success but not able to land decisive strikes to hurt Leon..
Ppl forgets Colby slows down too...which means its harder for him to dodge shots late in the fight..
BTW..Coby couldnt take down Usman. In 2 fights..Leon did it within the first round of their second fight...its not to say Leon is the better wrester..its to say..Leons grappling is in a good place..to defend well..and kerp that fight standing more than ppl think..
Rooting for Leon.
I honestly don’t see how Leon wins outside of Landing a early head kick. Leon never did to Usman whatCovington did. Bloodied him up, bruised him up, rocked him. If not, for that head kick, we would not even be talking about Leon in Covington would not be getting a tittle shot lol.
If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle
He beat usman twice thoe just saying colby fought usman twice and lost twice
@@jordanlyall6664Usman was arguably the best WW when he fought Colby. He was dominating Leon before the head kick and wasn't the same fighter in the third fight.
Lmao so dumb but so confident
@@Joes35 something needs to give me hope😂
The fact that leon didnt call out colby and did everything he could to avoid the fight speaks volumes. Colby is a healthy wrestler. If usman was 100% he would have never lost.
because he didn't deserve it
Welp, Leon proved Colby didn't deserve the title shot after all. Beat him 4-1 and made it look easy.
Leon didn't say he didn't want to fight Colby. He said Colby didn't deserve a title shot. That's not untrue at all - one win in three years and two title losses in his past four fights. And who cares what Ian Garry thinks lol.
😂casuals i tell you....leon sat out 2 years n an poke win n title shot off of a washed up diaz who almost knocked him out 😂
Look at the likes casuals think they are gatekeepers now😂
These bums are still mad journeyman jòrge got beat n embarrassed 😂
@@tomrussell9829 Leon is on a 12 fight unbeaten streak and avenged his only UFC loss to Usman twice (who beat Colby twice, easily). You were saying about casuals? You would know, clearly, being one.
@@tomrussell9829lmao Colby did good. Good call
@@tomrussell9829Jorge is a loser. Like Colby
Both Usman & Colby had a whole lot taken out of them following their fights against each other. Colby is older and has been inactive. Colby to win the war of words Leon to win the fight.
He'll probably try to strike for a bit until he sees how much better Leon is then he'll go back to crotchsniffing
@@kpacch7085its mma you jorge fans 😂 funny how casuals can be spotted a mile away 😂
@@tomrussell9829What are you, a comment professional 😂
Who is talking in this video who is talking?. is it a computer?
Being from the U.K. I hope Leon wins, but Colby is probably the hardest fight for Leon right now.. only thing in Leon’s favour is the fact Colby has been out for so long.. gonna be an epic fight I reckon 😎 let’s go Rocky 🥊 💪🏽
Leon is going to knock him clean out mate. I don't see it going past 2 rounds, everybody is jumping on the cardio bandwagon when in reality Leon fought the 2nd fight against usman in salt lake city which is high altitude and usman lives and trains there and he knocked him out. Leon has got this bro
Leon beats colby
colby gon mentally break leon edwards til he cries for his dead daddy
Shavkat
@@unkownperson9250ha!!! How do you look now you racist fake patriot haha!! Go walk around with your “we the people “ tshirt and build back better hahaha
Kamaru was beating the F out of Leon. It was going to be 5-0 Usman and then the head kick in the final seconds of round 5… did you watch the fight?
Leon will pick him apart. It will be painful watching Colby getting systematically dismantled. AND STILL!!
I want Colby to become a real UFC champion but Leon is so brillent and dangerous overall, and is still in his prime so if i have to put my money on it, it will be Lean...
Leon win By KO 2ñd round...
Mark my words
Leon will make this fight look easier than many people think
Colby is great but Leon is much evolved in both standup and the ability to go 5 rounds with great wreslters.
I pick Leon by TKO round 3
Leon is a point fighter lmfao. He got one hail mary headshot KO against Usman and before that he only had 3 KOs all against random bums literally 10 years ago. Anyone who thinks a KO/TKO against Colby who kept fighting with a broken jaw for several rounds is likely is a casual with recency bias.
Nah. Nate D almost smoked him.
@billydeewilliams9104 lol yeah nate got lit up but nate sucks I don't know how he has fans and still almost kod leon
it'll be a dec for Leon tbh bro
@@bobbys1308check the list, random bums? Really.
And now after the press conference, Colby is officially in Leon's head. 💯 😂😂😂
Leon gets tired.. “in the past”. Today its the present. Leon wins this .
dammn that cut from jjeorge still re opening on leon lol
Uncle Chael is not a former legend, but a living legend!!
Undisputed!!!😅
Tough matchup for both, but unfortunately I think Colby will win it. But let's not forget that Leon beat Usman twice- the man who beat Colby twice!
Beating the guy who beat usman 2x would look good for Colby tho. Styles make fights brah
Everyone saying Leon has never faced a pressure wrestler like Colby, but when has Colby faced an elite striker like Leon? Colby has been inactive for 20 months, and he's nearly 36 years old, those things could work against him.
I just had a look at Colby's record, and I'm not that impressed. He's been fighting Jorge Masvidal, Tyron Woodley and Robbie Lawler, all of whom were washed up old men coming off loses. No impressive wins on his record, yet everyone is acting like it's a foregone conclusion.
I'm not convinced. I'm actually leaning towards Leon.
The comment from Ian Garry about Leon being insecure 😂 I think we all know who is the insecure one.
A Tasrukyan vs Bobi Grenn
Only thing worrying me is Leon’s win streak AND he won twice against Usman who beat Colby twice. Colby better be on him like he did Masvidal and never give Leon space to strike. I’m nervous. It’s only hours away 😅😅
Colby doesn’t stand a chance
I love Colby.. but i think he'll come unstuck.. he'll win the press conference, but i think Leon tucks him in for the night.. bo bo's
As someone who always saw Colby and Meh this is a super close fight almost 50/50. The question is, is Colby as good or better then the last time we saw him and is Leon as resilient as we think. If I’m betting I think Leon has a slight edge just because I’ve seen him fight the most recent but with that being said Colby has all the tools to win this fight assuming he hasn’t fallen to far from his peak I wouldn’t be surprised if he won one bit.
Too much time out so I'm going with the "active" champion. We will see.
I'm betting on Leon. He's getting better every fight and his confidence is skyhigh
They said the same with usman did they not? Leon stops colby in 2
I'm not counting Edwards out. If Covington is so great, he would have been champ years ago. No excuses. And still.
Man I really like Leon but I want Colby to get that belt. On paper it seems Colby is an awful matchup, but Leon’s confidence after the last Usman fight will play a part & make it closer than people think.
Every one knows who you what to win. 🤷🏼♂️
"Leon gets checked out when he's losing" I mean, maybe the 30,000 Colorado elevation was something to do with it? Look at all the other fights. Everyone was getting tired. The 2nd fight he was completely different, showing that was likely the case.
30,000?
That's higher than Mt. Everest
Hopefully no fight cancelled in the card. . Cause the card is exciting
Colby's greatest achievement is losing to Usman twice, Leon is going to decapitate him in front of Trump 😂😂
Colby knew he was fighting a better man, hence the very dark comments about Leon's deceased father. His only chance was to get under Leon's skin, but he failed miserably.
lol we’ll see that cardio when he is eating body kicks 💯🤣
You guys are crazy how did Colbys tank work for him in the 2 Usman fights. Not great right. So if that's all you got is his endurance
Lol, I didn't think Colby would do well having this much time off
Man all that time off really took away Colby’s warrior spirit. It’s sad to see someone who went neck and neck with the 2021 P4P King in Kamaru Usman, just faded away as the fight went on. Colby’s a great fighter had some wars in the past. I really don’t know what’s next for him man. He needs to really reassess and fight like the old Colby.
Colby is going to get wrecked. Leon is younger, bigger, stronger, faster and is a better striker as well as good fight IQ. Colby has what? Good cardio and good wrestling. He will find it difficult to take down the stronger Leon and will not be able to keep him down or submit him. Almost all of Colby's wins are by decision and that's simply not going to happen against Leon. Colby is gong to get pieced up and possibly knocked out.
Leon got one hail mary headshot KO against Usman and before that he only had 3 KOs against random bums literally 10 years ago, and now everyone is acting like he's some sort of KO artist. Leon is a point fighter with most of his wins being by decision too, you're a casual with recency bias.
@@bobbys1308Ain't a hail mary if you're on camera practicing the exact same move numbskull.
@@JaemanEdwards name me any significant fighters he KOed besides Usman in the past 10 years, casual.
@@bobbys1308 Everyone knows Leon's not a KO artist you corn. Stop acting like you have any idea about fighting.
@@bobbys1308😂its like jorges " practiced"knee😂 100 more fights with ben n jorge loses them all.
Casuals hate grappling but dont seem to realize g n p someone or sub them is way more concrete than a fluke shot landed 😂 real mma fans dont pay for ufc n have not for years now these casuals since its only their money the ufc gets caters to them and they think they know things😂😂😂😂
It's either Leon by tko/ko or Colby by decision. It will be like usman vs edwards 2. Usman vs edwards 3 was a broken usman and usman still almost won barely doing anything. Colby won't stand there at let Leon t-off....Colby will constantly grapple
It never seems good for a fighter that’s trained for the same fighter 2 times in a row then fights another. Hard to predict this fight, I just hope it’s not a split decision or controversial crap
Colby just came in and picked up randy couture way. to win.
Colby gonna get his head kicked off or catch a flying knee. Leon is constantly improving colbies game is stagnant
This aged well.......!
Colby don’t put no ones lights out lol. Leon got tired in Utah yea cuz elevation . But he knows that , he’s fixed that cuz second fight he looked fresh n the fifth round . He was tired n Nate Diaz fight from beating his ass for 5 rounds . He got caught and wobbled so he stumbled .
Colby is too much for Leon.
Too much bum
Leon is a once a year champion… yawn. The UFC knew that he’d be like this, and this is why it took so long for him to get a title shot.
A Tasrukyan vs Rafael Fiyziev 👍👍👍
Only way leon wins is if colby gets caught like usman will not win by decision
Colby doesn’t deserve this fight. Sitting on your hands doesn’t qualify you for a title shot.
2:38 Rashad Evans literally looks like the black version of Colby Covington
Although I'm not a Colby hater because he plays a heel well, I think Leon is still too smooth with the striking and will find something that lands and TKO's Colby.
I wonder if Colby's relationship with Trump and the Trump's relationship with Dana, Has anything to do with colby fighting for the title...hmmmm
Leon doesn't want Colby because he is a talker and doesn't think deserve it ..... Colby is a talker and failed many times challenging for the belt. Colby will always be a contender and won't get the belt regardless of the hype. Colby gonna be knocked out with head kick.
And how does Covington deserve a Title Shot? The UFC sucks sometimes.
This aged well.🤣
But here’s a thing. Covington is from the USA - the scaredest, most uptight people outside of N Korea.
Valid points. But if there is a god. Leon will kick Colby into night night.
I got $100 on Chaos. Let’s get it
Hopefully Leon shuts Colbys lights off and shuts him up for awhile. I like what Colby stands for though. Raw, American steel( imported from China)
Joe Rogan would be right if Colby was Leon's size! Colby is too small with a short reach and kind of small for the division where Leon is big for the division at 6'2" with a long reach also well muscled.Usman is a better wrestler than Colby and could not hold Leon down just like Colby can't and won't plus he has pillow hands where as Leon is an elite striker.
Nah the disrespect to leon is wild
Leo wins .. he has much better stand up and he will defend the takedowns and will have just as good gas tank
My god i can't wait till Colby shut his light out
Leon will school Colby. Each time Colby attacks he will be picked off by counter hooks and kicks. Don't waste your bet money on Colby because you'll be disappointed! Leon will make Colby look average mark my words.
That is exactly how u guys talking Osman vs Colby fight I think edward going to be the one taking that belt to uk once again like it or not mark my word america😂😂😂😂
But before the leon fights everyone though Kamara was just a better version of Colby
great vid! I want colby to win so bad! its a tough ask
CC, Yo the man beat Lawler😎
Edwards is going out in the first round probably in the first minute
C'mon family, 2nd fight he absorbed Usman and you could see he learn't his lesson. Leon will teach Him a strikers lesson See you all on the other side
Leon will find Colbys chin easily, I feel a K.O for Leon.
Leon will easily win this fight. To much talk isn’t the reality. Leon isn’t a little child to be beaten just like everyone are saying. Leon will bring a very different fighting style and beat Colby
The third lung by sub rd 4
Arman Tasrukyan vs Jalin Turner Jalin Turner 80%
So where was the "big trouble" that Colby presented? 4 rounds to 1, wasn't even close, lol
Colby hasn't fought in over a year.
Head shot dead probably a knee
Every single person was saying if Kamaru was not champ it would definitely be Colbys belt…now some of these guys are picking leon…they just go with what gives them clicks ..lol
What a load of crap. The only unknown is what round Colbys face gets broken again.
If you can chain wrestle you’re automatically a beast. People don’t understand how tough it is to do what Colby does without getting tiered. With a background like that it really helped his work ethic. Unless Leon catches him Colby will win
