I really don’t understand how people count him out so quick against Colby. He made an insane comeback in a fight he was losing by kicking one of the most dominant champions in history so hard, he had a thousand yard stare in his eyes. Then after that, comes back and dominates in the rematch to prove he’s the better fighter. It’s understandable that Colby is a scary matchup for any welterweight, but Leon has been looking absolutely spectacular since he’s joined the UFC. I don’t think the Colby fight is as bad of a matchup as people think. Leon’s definitely a better striker, his work in the clinch is very methodical and well thought out, and on top of that, his defensive wrestling had only been getter better and better. Colby doesn’t even deserve a title shot in the first place, but either way it’ll be a pretty even fight..
@mrmatches0619 4 ай бұрын
