Everyone totally ignored and forgot how good aljo was because of him not looking great in his previous fight. Now, everyone is doing the same because of a 15 second sequence in his previous fight. Leon will make you people eat your words just like aljo did to his haters.

Look at their last fight, no one would notice edwards had a few months training he was holding his ground in the grapple parts of the match that was years ago he has evolved his issue is turning up the heat at the right time, tends to go to points, but the power and strength is there, needs to box more and stop spamming elbows out of range, usman smart and will counter this to ko city, usman has a injured hand and it hasn't healed 100% he is underestimating edwards already, we could be in for a pena type upset lets see
Just got tickets for this banger, btw first UFC live event I'm stocked.
I'm starting to appreciate his personality. This was helpful.

I mean he did quite well against Belal for as long as that one lasted but I agree with you more than I disagree. Not really sure what to expect this time but Leon needs to show marked improvements in his anti-wrestling since that first fight, or I think this will be a fight where he has moments; maybe wins rounds but ultimately fall well short. Gunnar and RDA tried for some takedowns against Leon and largely failed with them, but I don't think either possess the same level of wrestling that Usman does, so it remains to be seen how much he's improved in that regard.
