      Tbf Usman does it and it's not like Colby sticks to the rules, there's a vid of every time Colby fouled Masvidal as well, fish hooks and everything thrown in there.
      They all get away with whatever they can get away with and the more they get away with it the more they will.
      Colby is only getting a title fight because he puts on a good act as one of those retarded Trump supporters and Dana White loves licking Trumps balls.
      They were about to kick him out the UFC before he started doing the silly act, it's worked though, he's managed to get a title shot by losing to Usman twice.

      I was amazed he cheated more than usman, that would have paid out big at the bookies. Obviously I’m not including the steroids and epo usman used just cage cheating. The funny thing is Leon’s English and we don’t cheat it’s cultural so I can only assume the rules were changed to accommodate usmans cheating and Leon took advantage. It’s the only logical conclusion.

    People are assessing this fight based on Leon's last two fights and that's where they get it wrong entirely. Granted Leon won both fights but Leon was losing badly in the first fight (almost embarrassing) until he got that nice head kick. Everyone who knows Kamaru will know that he was fighting very cautiously, almost scared, in the second fight. Colby won't be fighting scared y'all. Interesting fight regardless.

    People just tired of the shtick. And I think he’s tired of doing it a bit too. I think Robert is right about Usman vs. Leon fight, but I don’t know that’s an indication of what’s in store for Colby. Colby is more relentless than Usman, but Usman was a better striker and stronger wrestler, but not as relentless. Leon does have good wrestling defence, but I think the amount of times he will have to defend vs. Colby is the difference, could tire out. Leon kills him on the feet though, Colby only has a punchers chance

    Usman was hurt and scared in that 2nd fight I throw it out the window. The first fight Usman dominated him until the head kicked that changed everything. It show against Chimaev too, not the same guy. Another point too is Colby was able to keep Masvidal down which Usman wasn't able to do. We saw Leon get rocked by Nate Diaz and if he wasn't focused on show boating I think he could have finished that fight. If he can rocked by him then Colby could too, he might not be the better striker but he will connect. He rocked Usman many times. It's gonna be a very competitive fight I can't wait.

      Masvidal wasn't the same fighter when he fought Colby though, you could tell her lost the hunger, his body was looking flabbier, and then we saw how bad he looked against Gilbert after. It may have been the KO factor too. I don't think it's because Colby was a superior grappler to Usman, look what Usman did to Woodley. But I don't think it's because Usman is scared, you're just mindreading. If anything it's his body breaking down, which he's warned us for years. But I think Leon's defensive technique was great, and he had more confidence the second championship fight knowing he could beat him and he had almost 18 months where he was focused on defensive wrestling (between being matched up with Khamzat, Usman and then Usman again, and he just got better. I don't think anyone should throw out what he did in that defense against Usman, that's just how good he is. Usman still competed well against Khamzat, even if he's not prime Usman

    • @patrickrose9849
      @patrickrose9849 Před 5 měsíci

      That's because Usman knocked him out cold 😂. Their first fight was on six days notice. Usman fell in love with his striking and didn't try to wrestle Jorge. What are you even talking about. Leon's the one that made Usman scared. So you can't throw their third fight out the window because Leon won that fair and square. Colby has ONE knockdown in 17 ufc fights. He has pillow fists and ducks his head every time he throws. Leon is a sniper. Colbys last win against a current top 15 opponent was almost 3,000 days ago 😂. The idiots that believe the shit colby says are as dumb as he is.

      Unfortunately this is what it really comes down to. People talk about Colby not finishing anyone and not having any power but don't seem to realize that's mostly a size differential thing. Sean O'Malley wouldn't be KOing anyone at lightweight. This is why people cut weight. Colby is the smallest in his division and smaller than everyone I can think of currently fighting at *lightweight*. Leon's the biggest WW on the roster.

      @pepparmostheelder Před 5 měsíci

      Father time will still get you. Dont get me wrong Colby is only 35 which isnt all that old BUT it is approaching the "dropp off" for MMA especially for the lower weight classes. The question is whether or not Colby is one of those earlier dropp offs or later. 2 years of not fight - irregardless of active training - is certainly concerning and historically those cases tend to not end well. We wont know untill the fight happens but its certainly a valid concern based on history
      Its also important to remember Usman was cutting a promo. Usman has much more to potentially gain from Colby winning than Leon. Now I dont think he will fight for championship at WW again regardless but any chance he might have goes out the window if Leon hold the belt. Leon's wins over Usman will also look even more impressive if he also gets passed Colby - especially if he can finish him or at least make it more decisive than Kamaru managed to do.

People tend to forget that Usman is also a pressure fighter its just that Colby uses more volume.

      The difference between the two is that strickland absolutely welcomes any confrontation in the gym, on fight night, or on the street. Colby would absolutely call the police and shit himself if he and strickland ever ran into each other. Also when colby got his shot he failed twice...strickland rose to the occasion and beat someone no one thought he had a chance

    Unpopular Opinion: Colby would beat Khabib.
    Khabib was a Weigh Bully, basically a Welterweight, he'd have a tough time against Colby.

    Woodley talking all that trash, put BLM on his back that night and fought his most hated rival, and what does he do? Lose every round, not throw anything then tap to a takedown "ah my pride, I mean rib" . Probably the most pathetic performance in a "personal rivalry" I've seen, Woodley had 0 heart in that fight. Makes everyone think maybe Colby wasn't lying about beating Woodley every practice and him ducking colby. Years ago ik, but just a funny thought.
