"The belt belongs to no one!" Is one of the realest quotes ever. You can be a champion but you cant take it with you.
Said by the "Mumbling Scissor-hand"
@@jericho-tubeColby the Clown head
Khabib did...
@@hungryshafi Yes Khabib fought Plumbers all his life except his last 4 fights
@@hungryshafi because he only fought 2 guys ranked in the top 5. He won against Al then Conor who wasn't ranked. But he didn't take it with him. He's no longer the champ.
Leon " it is what it is, yeah 100%" Edwards 😂😂😂😂
vs Colby "you know" Covington hahaha
Does anyone notice how small this guy is doing the interview. Leon looks like a giant next to him 😂😂
Because the guy is small..
One guy is small, one guy is tall. What a crazy dynamic that is!
Even Cody Garbrandt makes him look small 😂
@@agi2160 nah Leon is only 6 feet tall, and that might be inflated by the ufc. The manlett next to him is 5'3"
Manlet got Mogged
This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
Hahahahah this got me good there

I just came from a shorts from that Mario guy right before this lmao
Leon Edwards… The only man besides Luque who’s man enough to be himself on the world stage… No act, no character, no excuses, just the belt.
I’m sure Shavkat was himself.. as you say, no act, no character..
Being yourself on that stage is one thing. But being a boring, nervous wreck who mumbles and nobody can understand is not a good method
Marc Raimondi is a slightly bigger Habullah
Leon wanting to fight Khamzat and Colby and Jorge before he got the titleshot and was already on 9 fight win-streak shows a different level of confidence compared to how Colby ducked top contenders like Gilbert, Leon and Khamzat and only tried to take money fights with Jorge and Dustin and sitting out his prime years, its all gonna bite him in the a$#
He ducked fights for years bro. Wake up.
@@tex-do1wm he wanted to fight them, but did he end up fighting any of them? he's all talk
@@atg2269 Is he the one making the fights?
@phunchu8202 riding on colby the character bad....
@@philip230884 Riding on your own lack of intellect bad
Rooting for you Leon!! Let's Fn Gooooo Rocky!!!!
its impressive how Colby fans call this dude boring when the Jorge fight was a snoozefest and Colby's only chance at a finish was when Woodley randomly got injured mid-fight, you have to be on copium to act like Colby's a more entertaining fighter than Leon
Colbys famous for losing to usman twice, thats literally it, nobody EVER talks about his woodley fight or his lawler fight, even his last win
@@Mikamichaewhen he wins he always dominates so no one thinks the win as impressive as it really is, and he’s gonna do the same to Leon
@DaQuavious408 no it's not how he wins, it's who he beat
Absolutely
@@DaQuavious408 😂
Leon looks like he like 6ft6
DONT LET HIM BULLY YOU SON
-Marc Ramondi
I am all in on leon
i think Ariel asked him if UFC wanted Colby to win and he said YES!!!!!!!!!
We rocking with you Leon!!! ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY
People often forget that Leons dad was a mob gang lander and he grew around In a neighborhood where death and crime seemed normal. Colbys loud mouth theatrics will be Ineffective against him I fear.
He also grew up in a shed sleeping on the floor in a shared room with his brother, guy came fron literal poverty
That absolutely isn’t true that’s incredibly exaggerated. Also what would that have to do with you feeling a reaction to someone disrespecting you? turn your brain on
@JohnnySack16 do you have a source to prove it's extremely exaggerated? What made you believe that didn't happen? Not everyone is from a soft middle class upbringing
Is that why Leon is so dumb?
@@JohnnySack16 what are you talking about, they were already poor in Jamaica, then they're immigrants in the U.K which means they're gonna start literally from the bottom, you think immigrants are automatically middle-class as soon as they arrive?
On Colby's trash talk "where I'm from it doesnt resonate with me"
Such a great response!
Colby going nite nite.
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
We love you Rocky.
Won’t ever happen, but imagine how funny it would be if Leon showed up in a full British military attire from the 1700s lol. Would immediately shut Colby up and diminish anything he says 😂
British is becoming a joke and now Indians are rulling British 😂😂. Once British colonized the India and now India is doing it 😂😂😂
How would that shut anybody up
Good luck Edwards we're all behind you.

Good luck Rocky I like you as a fighter win or lose. A good champ.

this is going to be such a back and forth fight..........nobody is going to give a 25 minute hiding
How about we see triple champ instead of double now that's greatness lol
If Colby becomes champ, we will never hear the end of it so i am rooting for Leon!
Boring Mumbling scissor hand 😂
Rocky is gonna KO Colby👊
colby is thinking that he is still in the woodley era all over again and am like dude wake up fighters has evolved so much
is raimondi 5'3?
I hear you on that lol
yes
Did raimondi call him DeSean Strickland? 😂
When Colby loses to Leon, are they going to give him an immediate rematch since they always give him undeserving title matches?
no colby will move down to lightweight then belal up next for a shot at the title
weight cut looks like its rough, and he will be cutting for days to come
Ian better not get a shot before shavkat
Shavkat vs ian would be sick
And Shavkat better not get it over Belal
@@Fung-Fung I agree!!
Come on Leon 👊😴
Ar the beginning did he just play off not getting a handshake in return or does he always present the fighters like that 😂😂
Leon lookin like a heavywieght 😂
Don ❤ cmon Leon
Leon kinda looks like Kisame from the Akatsuki.
Is someone riding a swing in the background?
Most real vs most fake
Leon’s going to dust Colby
Absolutely mogged
Laser focus
Leon needs to find the dog within
How can you not like this guy?
Mark Rumudi or whatever looking like the mayor of munchkin land 😂
That screeching noise in the background of all of these videos makes them unwatchable.
He's going to drag you into deep water son
You sure about that?
Was having trouble sleeping, this interview did the trick
hhhshhhshshahhahahahahahhahahahahahhaha
Yea, he only fought 11 times in the eight years. Everyone skips that part.
they could have given marc a stool
I EXCITING TO WATCH MAKACHEV VS LEON EDWARD ...CAN LEON SURVIVE AS ALEXANDER VOLJANOVSKI? CAN LEON DEFEAT MAKACHEV THE WINSTREAK EATER?💪💪💪
How can a man throw 500 punches and no one got hurt 🤣🤣
Thst squeaking in every interview is so annoying. Multi billion dollar company with bad audio is stupid 😅
He meant he will cheat tfoo Colby lmao
i like leon but I think Colby will ragdoll him. Better wrestler than Kamaru and a heavier pace. Then he can feint takedowns and land shots as well. Leon will be looking for a big shot.
lol changing your job isn’t a crime Leon
Where did you get that suit baby gap
colby will hang his gloves on Saturday
@@Micro_errorhe’s had two wins since 2019. Washed up masvidal and washed up woodley. I don’t know why his mouth has to be so big. Hope Colby gets smoked tbh
From the thumbnail I thought he was Neal magney or some clone of him. Dude is way sucked in from the weight cut.
Everyone is doubting Leon. Nobody is giving him a chance to win. Can't wait until he shocks the world again
He's literally the fav to win lol
You’re wrong to say ‘Nobody’
Colby is the underdog you dumb fk.. what are you talking about?
He’s literally favorite at -155
@@MMA_CODE it doesn't work like that.
Leon stuffs takedowns and blows the roof off.......or cheekily takes him down and subs him......Colby is f'd
Colby is going to beat him up. Leon will get overwhelmed.
Leon will win by UD or 3rd or 4th round TKO. Leon can definitely catch him .
@@Itscristianboii We shall see
Leon by RNC
For some reason Leon strikes me as a DNC supporter
AND STILL COME SATURDAY NIGHT and fake character RETIRES!!!
Leon Scott getting slept
Marc Raimondis head is too big for his body
Cry about Leon all you want. He will beat tf out of colby cringington
Would be hilarious if he won by a Steven Seagal head kick again. Anyway, expect him to do some eyepokes, low blows and other dirty tactics.
Trash talk gets payoer views you canose 8 in a row as long as you can trash talk you'll get the big fights aka Conor colby
Colby "expert at beating up washed up old men" 😂 Covington. 6 years since he beat a true Welterweight. No finishes. Famous for getting his jaw broken and that's about it
Leon hasn't fought anyone younger than 35 years old in at least the past 5-6 years. Pot, meet kettle
@@RonniePTexanatleast he beat all of them...unlike Colby who is famous for being a 2 time loser 😂
@@RAVI89RULZ He and Leon have the same number of losses. You are falling for the silly narratives. All of the fighters at the top of the UFC are legit. On any given night, either fighter can win. Give basic respect to every fighter. Obviously you can like or dislike whoever you want, but disrespecting a fighter and acting like they suck makes your favorite fighter look worse. In this case you're saying Colby sucks. What happens if Colby wins or Leon barely pulls out a victory? Then it makes Leon look bad because he barely beat a "horrible fighter" or worse, lost to a "horrible fighter". On any given night...
I guarantee that at least one upset will happen on tonight's card. Usually there are multiple upsets.
Have a good day
@@RonniePTexan Colby got knocked out and submitted in his losses...all of Leon's losses were decisions..oh btw one of them was a DQ loss because of illegal knee. I don't need to fall for any narrative. Just need to look at their records
@@RAVI89RULZ Colby looked horrible tonight. For the first three rounds he just stood there and didn't do anything that he usually does. It was embarrassing. After the first three rounds he finally woke up and realized that he was in a fight, but he was already down 3 rounds. That was one of the worst performances I've ever watched. When he finally woke up in the 4th and 5th rounds, the fight got interesting, but it was obviously too late. Love him or hate him, he's always fought hard and made the fights good. Tonight was horrible. Leon won the first three rounds with only a handful of strikes. That's pathetic that Colby couldn't land more than a handful of strikes in those first 3 rounds. The little guys on the Co-Main ended up being the only legit hard fought fight on the main card. Bryce Mitchell got knocked out super quick, Tony Ferguson looked like he was moving at 50% speed, Wonderboy tapped out with only a few seconds to go in the round, and then Colby doesn't hardly throw a punch until the 4th round. Disappointing night to say the least. Even if you wanted those guys to lose, it's disappointing to watch non competitive fights or fights like Colby where he wasn't even trying to fight. Congratulations to Leon and the other winners, but I'd have still liked to see more battles and competitive fights.
Have a good day brother, congratulations for your guy.
lol colby gonna smash him
Keep thinking that lol
@@desotohybrid2175 He gonna mince him up the way I mince up my onions and garlic just like the way chef Ramsay taught me
leon is a great guy, and i think he might win this but man he is a boring champion to entertain
Leon winning by decision
He will mistreat you!
Leon the boring clown Edward’s
pretty sure his striking is more entertaining to watch than Colby's *left hand right hand left hand shoot*
the Jorge fight was a snoozefest
@@Ar1AnX1x I didn’t ask you did I?
@@lookherelooklisten3078 this isn't yahoo answers
You rather watch press conference than actual fight it seems. Leon is more exciting fighter than pillow fist Colby. 😂
@@lookherelooklisten3078😂
Colby could never win that belt off Leon, he ain’t got the minerals or the tekkers.
These American journalists as well always tranna stir the pot when they don’t know owt 😂
COLBY IS TRYING TO PROMOTE THIS FIGHT U LEON SCOTT DO NOTHING THANKS COLBY BECAUSE HE IS THE REASON OF BIG AMOUNTS OF PPVS
ok kid u can take colbys meat out yo mouth now
Real. Any vid with Colby on it gets like 5x more views than any Leon interview lol.
@@dogestranding5047who cares about the views lool
@@sicmundus1640 DANA?? HAHAHA
This interviewer is the WORST
Leon will be taken down at will. Usman couldnt wrestle bc his knees are gone. Colby will spawn takedowns.
Lol, and yet Leon did what colby couldn't.
actually took down usman and got in a dominant position.
colby gonna get owned, most overrated welterweight atm.
Leon has many ways to win this fight, colby doesn't, if colbys pressure, wrestling and simply trying to out cardio leon doesn't work he has no plan b and most probably will be sent to the shadow realm like usman was.
Leon will likely be stronger in the clinch, so you make no sense and will soon find out.
Hope he loses big time. Never seen a more boring champ
Leon is delusional. People think Colby’s good bc or lawler, woodly and masvidsl? And just leaves out 2 absolute wars with usman
Lol bro he fought a washed up Robbie Lawler, an injury to Woodley, got cracked by Masvidal and couldn’t finish him, and lost TWICE to Usman. Has been on the shelf for two years.
Leon has literally been on a win streak and if it’s not by decision (meaning it goes all the way) he also knocked out the champion and took him down, which none of the current roster has been able to do to Usman other than Khamzat. Colby scared to fight Khamzat in the past and scared to fight Shavkat right now. A “nobody” in his eyes derailing his hype train is a nightmare for him.
hardly can be called wars. dude got outclassed twice. just look at usman after both fights, dude looked like he finished sparring
@@redbulldrinker1784 really though! Look at almost all of his fights. Usman almost looks untouched going into the 4-5th rounds most of the time. Colby gets his face wrecked everytime. He’s obviously good! But he has got to be real with himself, this dude Leon ain’t no joke, he’s been with the same coach for how long? And how many coaches has Colby had and gyms? Leon never had to make friends or destroy them, Colby kinda wrecked a lot with his character. If it sells, it sells, he’s an entertaining fighter. But a true champion, I think not. He’s still the former interim though, I’ll give him that too.

Leon is overrated comment back after the fight when there’s a new champ
why he speaks like he from Africa not Britain?????????? 0 British accent.
because his parents are Jamaican maybe
Because his parents are Jamaican. He was born in Jamaica, he lives in the UK. Come on be smart
He has THE most Birmingham accent lol. What are you talking about
@@deadlovers so why they say he british if he jamaican and barely speaks english???
@@besmart2350 because he lives in Birmingham and was born in Jamaica bro I already explained that.
Leon Edward Scissorhands Scott will tko Colby The Nigerian Dream Covington
Leon managed to extend his ending carriere by some miracle but this is the end of the road for him. Colby by knockout in 2nd.
when was the last time colby knocked someone out lmao
@eoghain5021 it takes a special kind of coward to always just agree with status quo.
@@ms_gk my brother i was on here telling anyone that would listen that strickland was going to demolish israel. i don't just stick with the quo! i can see colbys wrestling volume getting him a decision but he's never been very dangerous when it comes to finishing
