I love how respectful Kamaru is of both of them. Calling both of them great fighters and underrated. Giving props to his former opponents. Dude is all class. My favorite moment of his was when he fought Masvidal the second time. He knocked Masvidal out and then followed up with a few punches on the ground until the referee stopped him. When he was asked about it after the fight he said those shots were "super necessary" (in reference to Masvidal's answer to why he kept punching a CLEARLY unconscious Ben Askren in the face). Had me dying 😂
Lol ya that was definitely a great moment and a picture perfect knockout with the sweat flying off masvidals face as he crumbles
I like Ian Garry.
jorge acting like colby didn’t out strike him on the feet
Colby got dropped
@@etherealentity7675masvidal got destroyed
Exactly 💯🤣
@2pac4life24 he didn't finish what are you saying? He's no khabib wake up sucker
@@DarrenReddix-jl1guacting like they were only doing boxing casual
Props to Usman for respecting Colby's skill.
He knows how hard it was to beat him. Don’t forget Covington beat up Usman very good too. Usman was bruised and bloodied. Leon could never do that to Usman. Out of the three fights they had Usman dominated 90% of them. Covington came so damn close both times to winning. He knows Covington will win.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Usman never bled or bruised against Colby you fanboy 😂 The only bloodied and bruised fighter in either of their fight; was Colby.
@@madgavin7568exactly wtf is dude talking about 😂😂
He’s a goat that’s why. Unlike Colby who never gave the guy who whooped his ass twice his flowers 😂 just excuses and bs that’s why he’s a clown

Whos here after Edwards dismantled Colby
Ian Garry is gonna pay for this at the press conference
Ian garry better then that annoying rat colby
True🤣😂
@@sagrsiiiiingh edwards kos colby
@@EatGood-qx9jh We will see
He’s already changed his tune on this fight
Jorge translation: " I want Leon to do what I had no chance at"
💯 🤣
Exactly what I was thinking.
Chiesas cope at the end. Living in his own timeline.
That dude is smokin crack. Colby will destroy More-Ham-Ed if they ever fight.
He is delusional, putting himself on Colby’s level. And no universe could he get a fight with Colby. Colby is top three in that division. Leon and Kamara being the other two.
Guy lost his last 3 fights....is he still in the UFC?
I think they should put Marty on the commentary for this main event.....
Yep, he would be a great commentator
@@Muddybuddiehe actually would be 😂😂😂
Usman and Wonder boy are straight gentleman.
and Holland might not be a gentlemen but he has integrity for being a truth sayer
What people are missing is the Kamaru was at his peak when he fought Colby and over the 2 fights Usman was getting weaker and Colby was getting better. A 3rd fight between those two and I think Colby takes it. I also think Leon doesn't have Colbys gas tank.
If Colby wins the belt, they should rematch, and you're probably right in Colby winning the trilogy fight.
You are right about kamaru weakening but how do you know if colby became better the guy didn't fight for 3 years?
@@isseabdirahmanweheliye9010 it's been 2 years and he's probably been training and healing. We'll see in 2 weeks.
And Colby doesn’t have Usmans chin
@@TransitionedToAShark
Colby has never been knocked out, Usman was on the floor wide eyed, staring at the wakandan ancestors 😂🤣
All your comments have zero thought in them lol
Jorge still salty as f from his 45 loss.
Michael Chiesa top 5 most unlikeable fighters in the UFC, just slightly behind Belal
Big facts
No kidding. Chiesa is obviously not very bright.
Exactly. Such a sorry pos.
No wonder he's Luke Rockhold's cousin lol.
Israel Adesanya>>>Jon Jones>>>Ian Garry>>>Paddy Pimblett
Belal was on screen for less then a minute and i fell asleep, Christ he’s such a bore talking and fighting
He’s the absolute WORST!
Can’t even take Jorge serious lol 50 -44
I know Belal isn’t talking about Colby just taking people down lol
Bro literally described himself while trying to hate on Colby lol
I was thinking the same thing! That's all he did to Wonderboy!
The way Ian speaks about Leon I reckon Leon's the one that ko'd him during sparring. Him or Shavkat.
it was shavkat
It was Gilbert that kod Ian machado
Both of them probably
Not iron, he ain't in the gym those guys are
it was ian garrys wives ex husband
It’s ALL CHAOS
Thanks for the video, MMA CRAZY
I love how underatted Leon is. Always the same with UK fighters. Check all the predictions before Aspinal dismantled Pav.
People haven't learned that underestimating Brits is a fatal error. Nation after nation....Empire after Empire fallen to the little island of unassuming men.
Wonderboy made the most sense but I'm gonna say this here and now Leon wins by sub
I find it weird that the better Fighters pick Colby, and the lesser Fighters pick Leon :-))
Must be libs
I doubt wonderboy is a lib, no one is this vid is being political
Strikers picking Leon
Colby sucks.
Look how weird and hypocritical you guys are, "don't bring politics into the sport" until they align with your agenda.
Don't know who's going to win but this is probably last title fight for Colby.....it's a do or die for him....36 years old.... doesn't have much time left
Tell that to Glover. How old was he when he won a title?
Well duhh
age works differently for heavyweights. they dont rely that much on speed and reflexes as much as lighter weightclasses do@@Notifications_off69
He will get another shot next year 😂
colby already a legend broooooooo
I pick Rocky
Colby fought Kamaru when he was mentally strong..but Leon fought Usman when he was mentally weaker..l feel colby would take decision win over Leon wrestling whole 5 rounds keeping Leon down..
Absolute tosh.
bro what are you saying
Think Leon wins all day but after what Wonderboy said, it cements my decision.
the only answer that matters here is Karmaru usman who gave really good insight on the match up and how he felt against both of them when he fought them
Colby doesn’t not knock out power but I believe Colby’s striking has gotten better from the first Usman fight. Leon over hyped after the second Usman fight but even Wonderboy knows Usman wasn’t ready for that second fight after that nasty KO he received from the first fight.
Some females have better striking than Colby! Lol pillow hands
@@graceodum3324because you don’t have ko power doesn’t mean you can’t fight 😅
It was the second and third fight actually lol. Leon figured out Kamaru, you're talking absolute bollocks.
bro did you do any research.
Michael Chiesa is just a hater 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep, full anti-MAGA, shitlib from hippie Washington state…
Michael chiesa will forever be garbage 😂
Who is Chiesa talking about? I keep forgetting the name
I don't Ian Garry but his opinion on Colby is SPOT on. Bro's biggest accomplishments in his career was losing twice to the guy that Leon beat twice.
Man, the disrespect that Leon gets is ridiculous. He's honestly one of the most technically astute all-round fighters in the UFC. Keep in mind that, in Usman v Edwards 2, they were fighting at altitude, something that Usman is used to but Edwards isn't. Edwards won the first round and looked sharp early on, but you could see how he was struggling with it. And even then, he still had enough in him to pull off one of the best head kick KOs ever in the UFC. If his take down defence is as good as it was in the Usman trilogy (it could be even better), then I think Colby is gonna struggle with the level of Leon's striking.
Leon has underrated BJJ as well, dude was able to out-grapple Nate Diaz and take his back. He was also able to out-grapple Gunnar Nelson. Even if Colby gets Leon down, its not like Leon is a fish out of water.
LOL belal’s shirt along with his pick just has me scratching my head?? 🤔🤷♂️
thx chiesa that was very helpful insight
Usman is always a gentleman
Grow up Chiesa and just answer the question. Life ain't fair.
It's gonna be a great fight!!!
Jorge is hilarious. “Colby is good at sniffing crotches for 25 minutes” 😂😂
Shit is hilarious😂😂
Lol "and sniff away"😂😂😂
Jorge don't know wrestling. He thinks that's what you're supposed to do. 🤔🤣😂
It's actually very hard to predict this
Am expecting a lot from this fight
Leon couldn’t finish Nate.
Nobody has
@@pushpindersingh5245yeah because Nate Diaz never fought a welterweight with finishing capabilities
Nate would hurt Colby
Ian for the first time ever said something smart
Chiesa completely ruined that whole video
best one was jorge “he’ll squeeze as hard as he can and sniff away” 😂😂😂
I think the general consensus is that people think Colby will win but they hope he loses because they dislike him
No that's ur own perception
thats very common take, thats literally since mayweather days (or before that) you pick the guy you like not because you are a fan of him, its because you want the other guy to lose.
Masvidal is bitter AF lol
I know alot of people and fans may not see It, but I think Wonderboys got the most logical take on the fight that I've seen from any fighter predicting Leon vs Colby so far. That's as unbiased as possible and probably would be the most realistic outcome out of all that I've seen from any Pro picking these fights.
People forget, but Wonderboy precisely predicted how Leon would KO Usman with his signature head-kick In their 2nd fight, when he pinpointed that Usman has a tendency to duck his head towards an opponent rather than moving away or blocking/parrying, which leaved him exposed to getting caught the way he did.
And like Wonderboy has pointed out If he were to ever fight Colby, he would work the body and Kamaru Usman did a good job In doing just that In working the body of Colby with those hooks he was digging In (which everytime he did, Colby would drop his hands more), before he finished him. And everytime he would get the better of Colby In the striking exchanges each time he did this.
Leon will do the same, with the only difference being that he'll be willing mix In the kicks with his great Muay Thai, and set up the kick with his hands alot more than Usman, to make Colbys relentless pace not as effective as the fight goes on.
Usman doesn't kick alot In his fights, and his kicks In general aren't the most polished, and anywhere near as fast as a striker like Leons at least. He may hit harder, but he doesn't have anywhere near as much as precision.
Even though Colby does push the pace, however he doesn't have a high striking accuracy (lower than Usman), he doesn't have as good of boxing, shorter reach, and also no power of chinning Leon on the feet.
This will make Leon will be more aggressive, which will only make It harder for Colby to adjust since he needs the fear of the TD to set up his striking, but with Leon he won't get the time of day to do so.
Colby might be a technically better wrestler than Usman, but he's also smaller and not nearly as strong which was proved In the Usman fight where when he's faced against a fighter with a size advantage him with good TDD he struggles to hold them down (He went 0-11 In his TDs against Usman and only could only Usman down for 5 secs, before he got back up), Leon has the size advantage here, and he's not going to get bullied.
I predict a nearly 36 year old Covington to come charging in recklessly trying to push the high pace as usual, then gets tied up in the clinch, and be brutalized by knees and elbows.
Fair to say, Leon could get tired, but for a fighter like Colby to weaponize pace the way he does, Leon will have to just worry about that, that's It.
And this will only make Leon stay on top of It more as the fight goes on, and the more he does that the more Colbys chances dwindle.
Colby has the ability to stay In his face for a good while, but he just doesn't have the strength, power, striking, or the offensive output to keep Leon guessing long enough to win or make him tentative to implement his gameplan.
Which Is exactly why I got Rocky getting the win here via 49-46 majority decision victory, retaining his WW strap!
I don’t agree with your assessment: Colby’s suffocating pressure will be too much to handle for Leon imo. It’s the style to beat someone like Leon. It’s a classic wrestler vs striker matchup, the threat of the takedown will open up the hands for Colby.
Usman really should still be the champion right now if he didn’t get complacent in their second fight, he wanted to show off instead of doing what was working the whole fight (wrestling) and got headkicked into outer space. I take nothing away for Leon it was a beautiful kick : but I do believe Colby won’t get complacent and he will keep the pressure on the whole fight.
Leon has shown chinks in his armour. Nate Diaz pressured Leon their whole fight, and Leon looked bewildered in that fifth round and almost got finished, he was gassed. I got Colby via decision or via verbal tap. Colby has a fighting style that just makes guys not wanna be there, he’s in your face nonstop, similar to khabib, he shoots over and over again. Leon is gonna be too worried about the takedown to get going offensively, I believe he’ll be on the defensive all night, fending off takedowns and awkward strikes from a guy that won’t slow down.
Leon does very well when he can play his game- sit at distance throw his kicks - use his jab. Colby is not gonna play that tit for tat striking game the best striker in the division.
Wonderman thinks hating on Colby makes him morally virtuous. He's a manchild
That's assuming they stand. Colby will make the fight boring. Seems you've forgotten how wrestlers can make fights boring watch Brady vs Kevin Gastleum or Almeida vs Derrick. Colby will wrestle throughout...the guy is really good
DAMN GET A JOB MAN! you have too much wasted time as a keyboard thumper
Nah. His opinion seemed like someone who has no clue about either guys. They use their own "logic" against themselves while acting like Leon's ONE head kick KO is what he does every fight.
Respect for Michael Chiesa and i totally agree with him
Note to self. Don't listen to anything Ian Garry says
surprised to see some guys that have beef with leon (masvidal and now carry) back him abostuely against colby lol.
That was me that asked the question at 7:18
Chiesa just went rogue
I'd like to see a popularity poll between holland and colby. Wonderboy gets man handled by every grappler.
Holland is so socially awkward..
1:35 is Belal talking about himself?
Man I just hate Ian Garry idk y 😂
It was obvious Leon was going to win. He doesn’t sit out for 13 to 21 months waiting for free handout title shots like Colby, he actually stays active and is willing to fight top fighters even if it’s not for a title. His only periods of inactivity are because of Covid and opponents pulling out. Meanwhile Colby hasn’t beaten anyone in the current top 15 welterweights.
Kamaru almost slipped and said hes a fan of colby 😂😂
Someone get Burns on the south American analyst teams and get Wonderboy on with Bisping
Love what Chiesa said.
Kamaru is senseless to defend colby just because leon beat him and he has beaten colby.
This was dope. I mean, super interesting especially from guys who are super interesting. Fuckin eh plus!
I really need to see Belal vs Colby
Chiesa respect
Michael Chiesa still feeling the dolly
Sounds like wonderboy needs to be an analyst
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Leon was getting his ass handed to him by Usman for 4 and a half rounds before he got a lucky kick to the head to land and in the second fight Usman fought at distance instead of using wrestling
Still lost
Actually Leon won the first round and the kick wasn’t luck if you k ow anything about fighting, he set it up, made the read on usmans defence regards to usman trying to parry the jab, feinted the jab and caught him with a perfect kick. Nothing lucky about it
Interesting how you completely omitted the altitude factor which is why Leon struggled before the head-kick. At sea-level, Leon was more than a match.
bro knows nothing about fighting.
well said@@Ijbvfknnn
Kevin Holland cracks me up
I've been calling him salty jorge for 2 years now
Chiesa what a fool 😂
A lot of people keep saying Leon beat usman twice and usman beat Colby twice but that doesn’t mean anything styles makes fights. And plus usman knees are getting worse and worse and he getting old
colby is same age with kamaru. regardless of who wins, i hope its not controversial or close. hope its a domination to shut up the doubters.
Belal believes he's a star right?
León is very clever but I believe Colby will win
Chiesa living in an alternate universe.
It seems I’m more aligned with Ian Garry than I am with the tsunami of people clowning on him in comment sections for the last couple weeks! I also see a Leon domination. Would probably prefer if Colby won though coz I think we’d get him vs Islam which would be the most exciting thing ever.
Want Leon to win but we all know Colby not gonna stand and bang wit Leon like he did with ushman hes going to go rushing in and put Leon up against fence try ro get em down hit him wit few shots and pull him back down every time Leon triea to get up and Leon won't be able to get any offense off
Most of these guys are basing their decisions on disliking the guy instead of his skills.
......he just sniffs away😂😂😂
Dana White - Who's Belal never heard of that kid....
Jorge is such a hater. I can't wait to see his reaction after Colby gets the belt.
both leon and makhachev are able to eat colby everyone knows it
12-3 in ufc. 2 losses to a usman that was on a different planet than the whole division. May have not been active but give the man some credit.
I asked Marty Juiceman that question. (All love Kamaru)
I like Coby … but remember it’s an act for Coby. ❤❤
Michael Chiesa came to tell the truth. 😂😂😂😂 We don't do that here 😂😂😂😂.
Anything could happen. But, statistically Colby should have had his prime a couple of years ago, and he also only fought older fighters (past their prime) in a really long time. Leon - not a loss in seven plus years, and champion. If it goes to decision in front of Dana/Trump.. I think Colby gets the belt. Its entertainment. And yes if we skip the entertainment and political part- Belal should have fought Leon...
Ian garry has to be special in the head. Sh1t he is saying sounds like something a casual ufc fan would say.
Colby Takes the Belt
Take his fake Belt with him to the hospital
❤❤❤❤
It’s telling that Belal does not like Colby at all and would rather fight Leon but is picking Colby. Same with Usman after the dad comment. We’ll see.
LMAO Judas is one bitter man for sure but you gotta live with the fact that he is your daddy
Chiesa is not very bright, is he?
dude does belal shave his upper arms?? lmao!!!!!!!!!!
Michael chiesa W.. 👏
I believe Leon will win … Leon is ready for the grappling by now. I think Leon will KO Colby in the 3rd round prolly.
“Prolly” = opinion invalid
@@yourmomdxhow?
No he is not, he probably defends 1-2 takedowns but Colby is going to keep on shooting he’s been doing it a lifetime
@@yourmomdx facts lol
@@Gelato88
He won't be able to avoid them all
Belal haha he already had his shot against Leon and was getting destroyed lol why do people keep talking about him? Covington is the most entertaining fighter in the division, and definitely deserves to end the year against Leon.
Who the fuck is Ian Garry to say Colby has done nothing? 😂
Leon got cracked by Diaz…come on now
How quickly they forget
Be real man Diaz can actually box
I say Colby.
Lets go Sean Colby....
I miss Kamaru Usman as champ. Very mature and respectful and not delusional and did I mention extremely active!
Yo boy A Colvin👈💪🏿🏆
Sounds like Michael Cheese want's to give a some Bela Mulhammad?
Belal is cringy
