Not only that, but Leon is way taller, bigger, stronger, and faster with more range too. I keep saying, at 5'11" --- exactly Islam and Charles size and height --- if Colby had gone to 155, with his D1, he LIKELY would have become champ, even if briefly, before or after Khabib... because Khabib never would have stayed long no matter what. And when he left, Islam was still in the Top 15, with no one wanting to fight with; and Charles was somewhere but not Top 5, either.... But at 170, Colby's is a bit too short, a bit too small, a bit too plodding, with only average striking.... so against someone as big and stronger as Usman, who has the elite wrestling that Colby has, the smaller, shorter man wasn't going to beat him. And against a prime 6'2" Leon, who really is one of the biggest, strongest, and fastest WW, whose wrestling is good enough to take both Usman and Colby down as well.... Colby's chances, ~36 years of age... weren't going to be more than 10%. Only grown ups who have the minds of 4 year-old who confuse WWE and D1 for elite MMA.... thought Colby was just going to use his magical skills and assets to rag doll Leon all night and there's nothing the big champ could do about it....

Colby Covington literally threw away his prime doing absolutely nothing and just waiting around. His Entire Career's finished lmao.

@@BarkhatnieTyagi The knees I can see, but the kicks wouldn't be as effective if he pressured it would make it a boxing range. Similar to Izzy vs Strickland. And a lot of Leon's kicks were negated due to Colby being southpaw and able to switch stances, since Leon likes to throw when he is in the opposite stance of his opponent. I think he was worried about getting chinned more than losing a shot at the belt which was sad to see. And even sadder, Leon connected on some good shots early and Colby was eating them so I don't think he needed to be so worried about getting knocked out. And in the 5th when Colby started to pressure he had good success. It was just too little too late. He could've beat him too he just didn't believe in himself enough it seems or at least not his chin

Leon was intentional with his grappling when he could’ve relied on his striking to get the win. He wanted to show he was the more dominant fighter. Mad respect

Man i just wish Leon let his hands go a bit more

Perfect analysis! Colby fought afraid of getting KO'd. He was embarrassed not just because the way he fought but because he couldn't back up any of his shit talk...he didn't take Leon to hell...not even close.

I been sayin that KZread MMA Media is way better than mainstream MMA media. I dont see any x-fighters commentating picking scores lol. Such a hard fight to watch. Thank god for Emmett saving this card lol.

Leon Edwards, like I said is too technically sound. He doesn't senseless attacks. He has evolved as a True Martial Artist. Humble.

Don't forget that against Masvidal despite he being 37 outta of his prime , colby did a nasty eye poke that led to ground control for most of the round 1 that took majority of his energy and also a nasty low blow ...Otherwise most likely Masvidal woudve put the pressure on him on the feet ...He coudve won like he did but those things had major impact on the fight.

Bro ur funny asf and I have a similar mindset to u

Colby just didn't show up idk if it was a rusty thing or what, but he definitely didn't look the same. I thought he looked not confident at all and he was probably nervous. Hot take though: if they ever rematch(unless Colby gets super old by then) as long as Colby has a good gameplan and is confident and actually fucking does something and fights like how he used to, I think he's got it. Ik that sounds wild, but here's how I see it. I thought Colby being southpaw would negate the body kicks and then would make it hard to set up the head kick, which proved to be true tn, then if Colby pressures him and flusters him with strikes like Usman did he can take him down. I thought the deciding factor was whoever gains the other's respect first will make the other too cautious then they will lose. I saw it simply as if Colby was willing to walk down and trade with Usman, then he wouldn't be afraid to pressure Leon in the boxing range. But for some reason tonight he was and I'm not sure why. I feel like he didn't wanna get clipped and embarrassed. But Leon hit him with some good shots and didn't really hurt Colby and the way I saw him winning was a KO, but Colby looked fine. Also Colby was landing on Leon when he actually went forward. Colby also was able to get him down. Maybe not immediately, but that's not really how Colby operates. He doesn't always get the first few, but he wears you down then eventually he gets you down easier and easier, like in the Masvidal fight. He struggled with Leon, but did get him down, then got him down easier the next time. He just didn't start early enough. So based off of that If Colby goes and whoops Shavkat or something showing he's still got it, I'd probably pick him. Just my take. I still feel like he has a good style to beat Leon and all my worries about how Leon would get him went away, so it all depends on if he shows up like he did against Usman

@@arvin9425 Not fully negated obviously, but he wasn't able to just rapid fire them like he did with others like Usman and that's due to his matching stance. And yeah never said the leg kicks didn't get him. You're looking at it as if he'd fight the same way. I never expected Colby to control him immediately. I expected him to beat Leon by starting early. Colby doesn't immediately control anyone he just keeps applying pressure until they wear out then he gets control then he starts fucking you up. The fact that he got Leon down at all shows he could do it if he starts early. With Colby he always gets you down easier eventually. He may fuck up early, but eventually he gets you. And you're discrediting Leon saying he's only a striker he's proven he's good everywhere. If Colby approached the fight right I see it being pretty favorable for him to win. At least on paper ig cuz in this fight emotions played a part. I could see Colby with forward pressure fluttering Leon with strikes then going for takedowns then rinse and repeating and we've seen he can get Leon down, no matter how long it was for that's how it starts. Then he goes again and eventually gets it a little easier then next time Leon might not get up as fast as he did before. It's a constant cycle. And with his stance and how little body kicks Leon threw compared to previous fights I see it hard for him to set up a head kick to beat Colby. This is all assuming he goes out with the right gameplan, but if he went out how we all expected him to look I think he clears Leon. Colby already showed when he decided to pressure Leon it was working and pushing him back and set up his entry well. He just didn't have confidence in himself or his chin it seems. Tbf he ate some hard shots from Leon like nothing which adds to my pick

@@sethsolopow3226 yeah Colby can mabye make something happen if he starts putting the pressure on early but I still don't see him winning. Colby shooting more shots or throwing more punches will be good for him but I just can't see him winning after he got so severely outclassed by Leon. U have to remember that Colby is human too, and his mentality seems to be weaker than before. He knows that he's lost 3 title fights, and if he somehow gets a 4th shot I think he'll be too cautious to truly get going from round one.

Lucas is so greatful humanbeing the dude is smiling the whole way trough when he get obivous pick right :D

The last good fighter colby beat was maia who had just lost and would lose his next fight, never beating a top 10 guy again. People might say “oh he beat rda!” But only the people who didn’t watch that fight say he beat him

@@Ptheplug39 it comes down to the 2nd round, if you actually slow it down a little bit and count the strikes colby is missing almost every strike, and he didn’t dominate grappling either he had rda down for like 30 seconds total, not nearly enough to make up for the damage rda had, it’s an unspoken robbery

i predicted colby to win but tbh it’s better leon won, i do agree with you i think he can be one of the goats, can see him beating belal, shavkat, ian garry, jdm and whoever’s on the come up. shavkat will be a tough fight for him but he was struggling to get a takedown on wonderboy so i think leon has a solid chance to defend the takedowns even better.

Colby looked like he didn’t sleep for a few days. He had some bags under his eyes.

I like leon because i stopped watching wwe when i was like 12, i dont need low intelligence trash talk to like a fighter.....remenber that ppl called gsp boring and look at the respect gsp gets post career.

Leon will be the best in the Future !!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dana White: We have to give (my girlfriend) Coby another shot! Rematch

The biggest thing I noticed watching this fight was the speed disadvantage. Leon looked like he was on 2x speed.

Anyone else laugh when Leon had Colby hurt but proceeded to take him down as a big fuck you move LMAO

What did Colby expect going against the most aesthetic man on the planet 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

What you said about Leon is true and why he never be near my favorite fighter , it’s annoying when they have such advantages with attributes but never do because they don’t have too , Leon needs to go 185 to make him fight

Honestly, both of them looked pretty bad. Leon was almost as cautious as Colby was for like 4 rounds until he actually tried to finish him in the 5th. Shavkat probably finishes Leon from what I’ve seen

I’d pump the breaks on Shavkat. I’m not even too sure if he would beat Belal.

Look…Colby got embarrassed and frankly I don’t know how he bounces back from this due to all the factors around it. That said, can we stop with the “Leon dominated, he showed levels, took Colby to school” talk? This was an awful fight for Colby and a darn bad fight for Leon. Leon hardly landed any heavy hits - not a single “he rocked him” or dropped him moment. Leon edged out more significant strikes in most rounds, nowhere near domination. The most fair and consistent analysis I’ve seen is Leon wins 3-2, which is how I scored it, also. Leon 1,2,4 Colby 3,5. By the end of the fight, Colby began to take over and dominate and Leon looked gassed and nearly helpless. Should Colby be embarrassed for that awful showing and game plan? Yeah - it was historically bad. Should Leon also be embarrassed? Maybe I’m alone in this, but yeah, I think so. Colby - a wrestler - came back after two years, stood and traded for the entire fight, won a few rounds, and took no significant damage. I mean… we can criticize Colby, but let’s stop with the Leon praise. It’s a delusional, prisoner of the moment, thing.

I hope Colby continues to go for the belt, and starts working towards Tony's losing streak record.

It was a great fight. Dude literally kept him at bay and put on a master class of a fight. It was a complete shut out magnificent fight.

I agree with everything you said. Leon flexed on Colby. But I’m not as enthusiastic of a fan of his anymore. His come up is inspirational, but his performances in the octogan and some statements on the mic make me dislike him (I immediately start disliking champs as soon as they discredit obvious contenders and scoff off fights with them, like how Leon is disregarding Belal

I think Colby will become like the unofficial gate keeper for his division. He’s lost 3 from 3 title fights and I can’t see him getting a 4th anytime soon

I never knew the lucas tracy curse could rewrite history

props to you lucas the curse is lifted

Leon should fight Belal next as he is the 1st ranked contender. Shavkat should fight Burns next as he needs more experience before taking the belt. Charles should be given a rematch with Islam as he ran through other lightweights. Arman should be given a chance for BMF title against Gaethje. Dustin can either remain inactive or fight Fiziev next. Khamzat has to finish Costa before getting the title shot. old Stipe shouldn't be thrown to Jones. If Jones really wants to fight then UFC should bring Ngannou back. Jones vs Ngannou is the current dream match for us all. What do you say?

Arman does not deserve BMF title from Gaethje. BMF doesn’t really matter, but no one comes near Gaethje in that regard it’s his

I agree is this take.

Honestly it’s on Colby to make the fight more entertaining he fought like a coward, Leon is the type of fighter that needs someone to push him bring the best out of him

Feels like i just watched israel vs marvin.. what a sad fight, and i dont know what colbys coach is doing, did he think the striking frol colby was so elite that he could outstrike him without the wrestling pressure?.. there was so much wrong with this fight, and leon did not try to finish him. You would think that when u only leg kick the first 3 rounds, that he would want to go all in the last two when colby looses mobility and power.

If you notice, when Colby started to pressure during the 4th and 5th, Leon was not throwing any counters. He was just trying to move away and reset in the middle- which is what he always does. Colby had this imaginary fear of Leon countering him while he was coming in or moving back- which was a fictional danger for the most part. Yes leon probably would have gone for knees later on. Colby needs to just retire, he can’t handle the pressure and his T levels have decreased

This fight went exactly as i expected. The trash talk colby said to leon fire him up more and you can tell leon was gonna make sure he didnt lose that fight. The reason colby fought like that is because hes overrated, leon has precise striking, good td defense, and leon is levels above colby hes a beast.

Izzy's fights are WAY MORE BORING than Leon's, and Izzy hypes up his fights big time then he's boring every time.

You forgot one big point. Islam Makhachev might move to Welterweight to fight him. You should address this in your next video. I'm rooting for Leon but please share your thoughts.

The difference between Izzy and Leon is that Izzy hypes up his fights before stinking it up in the octagon! At least Leon doesn't hype his fights up like "I'M GONNA KILL HIM" before going in there.

We apologize to you and acknowledge that you were honest in everything you said

Leons problem is still his output and now i think his boxing might be suspect. Strickland would pressure and box him up i reckon, belal i think would do what we thought colby would do

The only thing Colby did in that octagon was, campaigned for Trump 2024

Whats frustrating is that we know the fight would've been a heck of a lot more competetive if Colby would have got going alot earlier. Colby cheated all of us out of a good fight.

it was like the killswitch never cut on for leon

Ok, I'm gonna play the pump the brakes trope. Leon needs to defend his belt at least 7 times to beat GSP. You don’t gotta underate GSP's reign to elevate Leon. Cerrone is roadkill to GSP's title defenses. He beat Nick Diaz who would murder any version of Cerrone. Jake Shields, the guy who beat ATG MW Dan Henderson during the TRT era, got dominated by GSP. You young MMA fans overrate/underrate certain fighters to exalt the guys you like a bit too much.

Being a relatively new MMA fan, this fight actually made me like Leon Edwards a lot. I felt like Colby was getting dismantled in the first 3 rounds, only showing some weakness when he started trying to play Colby’s game and take him to the ground. Did he put on a crazy show? No, was I entertained? Yes

5 fights and a title baby 🕶️

Josh Emmett today

Fighting is not politics. You can't say you won, when everybody just saw you lost.

I did well at predicting this. Got the main event right but I thought shavkat wouldn’t 5:37 finish Thompson that was a bad pick I forget some of the other performances.

The Lucas Tracy curse got nullified by the Drake curse.

Shavkat and Islam are the only two people i see that can beat leon Both should be next!

You’re wrong about Leon not gaining new fans cause I’m one now, although I’ll go for Belal or Shavkhat if they get the chance against him.

Leon is very izzy-esque kinda boring unless the other guy pressures him

Leon is a real dude. No flash.. no stupid haircut.. just wins. If you don't like that style then you are the definition of casual and should give Power Slap a look. 😂

Leon proved he is levels above Colby in the range department Colby had no feints no variety and no confidence in setting up his strikes and attacks it was a pathetic display compared to Leons technicality, he really needs to train at a muay thai camp or a Firas Zihabi type of coach or get his coach to teach him differently and change his own mentality too and focus on fighting instead of scritped bullshit press conferences.

I wouldnt say "HE MADE IT LOOK EASY"...but he pulled it off tho
