Can we talk about Leon switching stances the whole fight? Throwing Colby off with that. He was cutting Colby off on the cage constantly keeping pressure. Sticking his leg with kicks the whole fight forcing Colby to shoot for takedowns off his opposite leg. Yeah Leon didn’t get the finish but he was winning before the fight even started. Crazy strategy.

@@guyontheinternet6034 Brother, he beat the pound for pound best fighter in the UFC, and his last win against Usman was all down to his fight IQ. He has improved soo much these last few fights. He made one or two errors today, but he could afford to make them. And it was pretty much just to dominate, humiliate and piss on Colby. Beat him at his own game. The man is one of the calmest individuals in the ring these days.

Wah wah. Leon's dad got what was coming to him, look him up, he was an evil piece of crap that was a gang leader in Jamaica that did a lot of bad things which includes sex trafficking. Leon himself was following in his father's footsteps and was a thug before getting his life changed.

"He didnt play for 2 years" SO WHY DID HE GET A TITLESHOT?? XD 4 out of 7 of his last fights were title shots. 0 Wins against anyone from the roster the past 4 years, inactive for 2 years, yet gets the Titleshot over multiple names in his division that had 2 Digits winstreak (Belal, Gilbert etc), they were fighting without camps, fighting whilst injured, took all the challenges UFC threw at them to leave no excuse. Embarrassing performance with all the privilege he keeps getting and this was exposed tonight! Leon even outwrestled him, took him down, and was about to win by Submission many times.

GWAN LEON! You taught Colby and the world a lesson tonight. It was well rough growing up in Birmingham at times as you well know. Maybe people will understand now, dont comment about certain things. Absolutely dominant win which we all expected. I think you are only just beginning on this path. Keep notching up those title defences Bro! BOOM!!!!

It’s nice that his mom and his coaches were able to calm him down. It also shows how discipline he his and how much he respects his team to actually listen to them. It would have been easier for him to just go out and do whatever he wanted but he stuck to plan. I’m shocked Colby only got a water bottle that day😂. Congrats and props to Rocky!

One thing Edwards isn't doing he ain't ducking no one that's for sure and seems will fight anyone and defend his title. And after all the smack Covington talked he handled himself like a true Champion in and out of the cage. It's nice to see there are athletes out there that have good sportsmanship.

For Colby, his career almost proves that Karma is real... he was never going to become champion. Some things he has said over the years have truly come back to bite him. I dont hate his angle for trying to get his name out there or whatever but he is a pretty dirty guy, and you gotta drop the name chaos after that...

I was a pretty big Colby fan. Im not big on the trash talk. I just liked his cage presence. But im less of a fan today. He had the chance after the fight to say he crossed the line with bringing up his dad. But he doubled down. I just cant get down with that trash.

Leon is showing that he's a well-rounded fighter and not just adept at the stand-up. He took Usman down and now was willing to exchange with Colby in the wrestling. You have to give him kudos for that on such a big stage with all the risks involved.

After the first round I left with my friends to go to the bar because I saw Colby had nothing for Leon and it was over. Two years off for Colby, then coming right back to a title fight was dumb. If you are 33 you can’t sit out for 2 years.

Its the Dana White privilege that got him the title shot in the first place thats the problem. He never deserved this fight. The only title shot he earned was the first one in 2019. These last two he got gifted because of his big mouth. Maybe now he'll be made to fight a contender that's not on the verge of retirement.
