My favorite. I was lucky enough to attend the last BMF card at MSG with my late father. As my dad said he absolutely dissected Luque. Can't wait for this fight with Michel.

@@hansacrossamerica Thanks. It was one of the last things we were able to do together before his neuropathy got really bad. He fought it for years but at the end he was suffering so much I just wanted it to end. It was just so hard seeing the man that made me who I am become sick & weak. So while it absolutely sucked I have to at least admit it was for the best. Love you pops.

Its possible he could be because the current champ isn't much of a wrestler so it would be a good match up. The issue is the wrestlers he has to get through to fight leon he probably would not win against. All that being said I can't see Leon being Champ much longer.

He consistently has looked a decade younger than his actual age. Just look at his UFC debut, looked like he was fresh out of high school but was really around 29 years old. What are your secrets Wonderboy? Also, I wonder if there is some connection between youthful appearance and slow physical aging in general (i.e. maintaining near or at your physical, fighting prime further into your age)?
