      trust me when i tell you leon knows how deadly his left high kick is

      Leon is getting near a prime Izzy lvl of Muay Thai
      It isn’t just his high kick
      His body kicks sound like a damn 22
      And he probably has some of the best elbows in the ufc next to kattar and Ferguson
      He does a little fake hook set up sometimes and just lines people with elbows

    This is why Leon is the best fighter to come out of England. We are so limited in the training we can get especially in wrestling. You’re never gonna be the best unless you train with the best and improve your weaknesses. All Leon has done is work and hes fortunate to have an amazing team who welcome other trainers to get the absolute best out of Leon.

      It’s not even taught in schools or anything

      I'd say Aspinal is the best fighter to come out if England. He started training bjj when he was 7 then started wrestling and striking a few years later. He's way more well rounded than Edwards.

      You lot are forgetting Michael Bisping, neither Leon nor Aspinall are at his level as best to come out of England. Bisping fought killers and didn’t lose much. And won the belt with one eye whilst still fighting killers before that championship fight.
