Leon had 26 mma pro fights since 2011, was never tko, never ko, never submitted, only 2 losses by decision, last one was in 2015 vs usman. That is a very impressive record.

Alexander Volkanovski had 22 wins in a row, 12 within ufc, beaten max 3 times, Brian ortega, aldo, Korean zombie. Even more impressive record before Islam makhachev beaten him

@@snoopdaclown If Geof Neal dropped Belal multiple times with a left straight and left high kick (two of Leon's best weapons) then Leon should be able to do it. If Luque knocked out Belal in the first round with a check left hook and Leon beat Luque right after that fight, then Leon should do it too. If Alan Jouban can outpoint Belal then Leon should do it.

Conor KO'd by Chandler. ALL the Mexicans lose at the Sphere. Merab wrestles Omalley to a 5 round decision. ALL the French fighters lose at the Parin fight night.

Belal has a way of just making things work out, finding a way, Khabib has made Belal v2.0 compared to how he was in his first Leon fight and whilst I cannot say his skills are as good as Leons, I can honestly see him winning. Remember Leon has had dips in round 4 and 5 against Nate and Colby and Belal has superb cardio, I see Leon winning R1 and R2 and then I expect things to turn. Leon by KO is the safe bet as is Belal by decision (which is 7 out of 9 of his last fight result)
