That's not how the UFC works at all. UFC is not a meritocracy. If people pay to watch you by the hundreds of thousands and you win over a couple top contenders- you get a titleshot. People don't watch Leon because he is boring as hell. He proved it again vs Nate. Leon is a great fighter with nothing else. 0 spectacle/0 trashtalk/no own style/not a lot of charisma.. oh, and not a lot of knockouts either.

Habib Osman 2 жыл бұрын
@Brandon Kenya True, eventually if a fighter keeps on winning he will get there anyway. Still, my point stands though, because Leon Edwards isn't flashy in any sense, he will get passed. He will not get a titleshot right now because he is nothing more than a great fighter. Basically, he is the EXACT opposite of conor mc'greggor. Leon has to put in 5x the work to get the same pay and title shots. That's how the UFC works.

I think Edwards looked very good tonight,we all know that Diaz is a 5 round fighter that seem to keep their energy when others are getting weaker and apart from the last few minutes of the fight Edwards was strong and his fitness was good also, fighting is fighting and we can't or wouldn't want to have all GSPs.The fact he's only 29 is good as well.Id have liked to see him fight on the ground a little tonight though because Diaz is an outstanding jui jitsu fighter also.

The point is he was SUPPOSED to dominate Diaz AND not get clipped. Diaz isn't even a top 15 welterweight anymore. He shouldn't be able to put Leon in so much trouble. Look at how RDA dominated Diaz in his prime. Look at how Rory ragdolled him across the octagon. This is an out of prime, beaten and battered Diaz, been through many wars, coming out of retirement and should have been easy work.

He was having an excellent fight up until the last minute obviously. I wish we had seen him a bit more aggressive and actually try to finish Nate. He seemed very passive and chose a few times to throw power shots, it didn’t look like he was getting tired either. Him getting rocked was surprising to me. I don’t wanna say he has a weak chin but that could definitely be the case

Stop overshadowing leons win with one moment of the fight from diaz. Leon was destroying him for 5 rounds on the floor and feet. Also stop giving diaz credit every time he gets to the end of a fight. Literally you’re just pumping him because hes a punching bag and can withstand a whooping while still walking forward. Didnt know we were ranking fighters on how much they can get bloodied before dropping.

His only issue is hesitating and not pulling the trigger. While he was getting mooned and the finger thrown at him he shoulda been attacking but he waited a while he played it smart and safe but I said going in if he plays it too safe he might get caught in the late rounds and he did and if Usman caught him with a Masvidal bomb it would be lights out! Vettori also hesitated his coach was very honest that dude is a bit delusional thinking he won 🤦♂️ but when Izzy was dancing head movement style by the cage he shoulda been exploding with one twos to his chin!

Hopefully Leon gets even technically better after that difficulty in the last round. Great UK fighter. Gonna be tough against Colby and Kamaru though.

To set some facts straight, Edwards hasn’t turned Colby down, it’s the other way around because of the “who’s he fought” excuse. I think it’s insane to give the title to a guy who got finished by the champ and then beat a washed up Woodley as opposed to a technical beast who just beat a legend in the sport on is a 9 fight win streak. Colby is also a technical beast, but I think he should fight Masvidal instead of Usman. Give Leon the title shot.

He's on the highway towards the belt at full speed. After Colby, I'd love to see Leon face Usman again.

I don't understand why Nate was so generous with this man near the end of their fight.
