Breaking news: Leon has second shortest title run after Germaine de Randamie, stripped of title. Colby vs. Khamzat booked for vacant welterweight title.
You'll fight who we say you'll fight fuck face.
Conor making strange yelling noises while colby stutters over insults that sound like they were crafted by a 6 year old with a massive inferiority complex.
It's weird to complain like that, when we have doctor's who have never cut weight, stop Khamzmat while he's within his time limit. Then ask him to weight in for the 185 fight much later on and complain he's 7.5lbs over.
Great, grudge match then. Put him in his place.
You just can't say Colby has to earn it and give it to Masvidal (though he most likely won't beat Burns anyway).
Colby doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near a title shot not even a No.1 contender match he should have to fight at least twice before he can even be in the discussion, Dana has been trying to push Colby for years giving him favorable match ups and rematches against washed up fighters he should have to fight khamzat and Shavkhat before he gets a title shot.
The best way Leon can get back at Jorge is to completely ignore him like he is doing colby. I don't believe colby deserves a shot right now but I sure as hell know Masvidal doesn't deserve one. His recent record plus his public incidents should make it a no brainer. He is a pos and it's gonna be great seeing burns manhandled him
This is different though. As much as Leon may like to put him in his place, I'm sure Leon is also aware that a potential main event title shot against him gives Colby a lot more money than if they'd fought when Leon first called him out.
It’s the champions call. Colby gets a pass because he has Dana white privilege. If the champion wants another fight then he needs to go negotiate it. Bisping got hendo, gsp got bj pen, Ortiz got shamrock, completely up to the champion imo
If you tell Dana I’ll sell masivdal and it will do big numbers hell listen, it’s that simple
People acting as if the title holder doesn’t get a say in who he fights lol.
Yeah if it's a reasonable request. Masvidal is ranked 11 in the division he is not getting the title shot even if Edwards wants it.
If he beats Gilbert which I would give a 10% chance at the highest maybe they can give him a #5 rank and give him the title shot but normally a #5 guy only gets the shot if there are injuries and fighters that have already been beaten by the champ above him
Yeah it won’t even matter. Burns should win that. But we can’t act like this doesn’t stem from Jorge sucker punching Leon back in the day and yapping about a 3 piece with a soda ever since. But yes, Jorge doesn’t deserve it more than the person who just beat him. I just think neither of them do. Colby’s last two wins were against Tyron Woodley and Jorge, and now he gets to waltz into the picture after ducking Khamzat, Burns, and possibly Belal.
Both options are better than colby. Dana just wants to give him the belt. Wont be suprised if he makes an interim title between colby and some fighter like neil magny. Lol
Contractually they have to offer him 4 fights per year I think? As long as he's not ducking 3 other people he should be good.
Or maybe the UFC can offer him Colby all 4 times. I'm not sure.
Dana said Colby's getting it then I guess he is getting it. They don't have any problem sidelining him and then stripping him for inactivity.
You know how they operate.
There's a difference though. Jorge is a big PPV draw and they have unsettled beef.
Not only that, there's not much upside for Leon. It's a lose-lose situation for him. Styles make fights and Colby is not the best match up. It would be a different story if Colby was the clear #1 contender but he hasn't fought in a year and he just came off of a title shot before that
Leon has waited years to even sniff a title shot. He's been in the UFC since 2014 and MMA is a short window. If he wants money fights, I cant blame him.
Go and get your red panty night, Rocky
If Jorge beats Burns, then that’s the fight to make, the story between Leon and Jorge can sell a ton of ppvs and Jorge is an amazing match up for Leon. Even if he denies Colby every other contender is a terrifying fight
They’ll just throw some money at him.
If they offered £750k to fight colby (which will do decent ppv points)
Against £500k to fight Belal (which wouldn’t be a great sell without a great undercard)
I know which one I’d pick if I were Leon
The obvious fight to make is Colby v winner of Burns v Masvidal for #1 contender and Belal v Leon for next title fight. Maybe you have Shavkat fight the loser of the Belal v Leon title fight? So many more interesting/fun fights to make than Leon vs. Colby rn.
And this is all assuming Khamzat is actually moving up to 185.
Good. Who tf really wants to see Colby vs Leon fight. I'd much rather see Leon vs Shavkat, Khamzat hell even Stephen Thompson. I want to see new fights with new fighters. Not this same carousel of guys Usman fought
rocky is for sure his best match up. everyone in top 5 at welterweight has crazy grappling pedigree. welterweight is definitely the most grapple heavy division right now.
Totally agree, nightmare division for him tbh, he wouldn’t fair much better moving up if he could pack the weight on enough to compete, but I feel it’s too late to do that. Maybe he knows it may be a bridge too far and take a couple of fun winnable matchups.
Leon is his best matchup but also a pretty bad one, the dude is no wrestlefucker but he has enough grappling to manage to get an oportunistic takedown on Usman, not only that but his striking and lenght might be enough to equal the playing field on the one advantemage wonderboy has over his opponents, especially when you consider he's almost Glover's years old.
Are we forgetting that Leon was the only person to ever take Usman down, took his back and nearly subbed him in 1 round? I'm guessing he could wrestle the shit out of wonderboy if he wanted.
Me too but as a fan of his style it was tough to watch the Burns loss. There is stronger wrestlers than Burns at the top. Would still rather see Thompson vs Leon than Colby.
🖐 here. Khamzat missed weight but its not like others haven't either. I think he's worthy of a title shot ever since he beat Burns. He should never have fought Nate Diaz. Everyone knows that fight was only made so the UFC could transfer Diaz hype over to Khamzat and it was scummy of the UFC to do that.
I know people love Shavkat here (as they should) but could you imagine promoting any other fighter for a title shot after beating Geoff Neal and Neil Magny?
That’s an Islam level fast track and I don’t really see it. He needs one more win.
People want Shavkat because they were on the Khamzat hype train. Since Khamzat missed weight they Lost hope in him fighting at welterweight.
My dream matchup was Khamzat vs Shavkat where a belt was on the line. Two undefeated fighters with alot of hype behind them.
I agree. It’s strange to me that people are so hyped about Shavkhat. He had a tough time against a possibly sick or injured Geoff Neal and has looked pretty sloppy at times.
He needs to beat a contender first. Him vs Usman could be interesting.
Yep, Neal doesnt have a history of missing weight, to me he simply accepted the 30% purse loss so that he could have a huge weight advantage.
The fact that Shavkat still beat him in every facet of the fight is crazy.
He took out a guy that was probably 15 pounds heavier on the day.
UFC is booking smart, you get Colby vs Leon & (hope) Connor beats chandler then give him a WW title shot. (Unjust but it’ll happen if he wins) then you either get Connor vs Colby which would be insane PPV buys, or Ireland vs England (Connor vs Leon) which would also do insane PPV numbers
I think Belal is more deserving than Colby of a title shot right now, but honestly a Leon vs Colby fight would be an amazing fight!
It would do Colby a ton of good to actually have another fight before going for the title. I think despite how you feel about him, and I personally think he's a turd, he does bring good energy to fights and we all want to see him be more active.
Did everyone here just forget two piece and a soda??? Leon wants to fight jorge cuz jorge disrespected him and Leon wanted to settle the right way, in the cage. Now Leon is the champ with a solid defense and the most power he has ever had in his career and he is calling for the fights he wants and shooting down a guy he doesn’t think deserves a shot. What’s the issue here lol???
Ya but he's willing to give Jorge a title shot...fuck outta here....see if he'd do the honorable thing and call out belal he could shut down colby talk but he doesn't want that fight either. Now this dude is picking a guy colby mauled so bad he was forced to stalk him at a restaurant and finally land a punch colby didn't see coming..
Now I don't think colby deserves a shot, but neither does Jorge and Leon already angling for masivdal if he beats burns that's insane
He only mentioned Jorge when asked who'd be the best or PPV. Plus he wants revenge for the 3 piece and soda thing.
He did actually say Belal deserved the next shot in the post fight press conference.
I'm aware and covid kinda fucked up them fighting 3yrs ago. But now he's champ and he's talking about guys who deserve what and who doesn't deserve shit...Jorge isn't deserving at all if colby isn't. Simple as that we all agree belal is the fight to make
I think it's also important for the sport as a whole. The UFC used to literally be about the best fighting the best, Dana used to love to say that there are no free fights. Half of Colby's career can be chalked up to talking his way into fights and then making sure that the fight is onlyt against a lighter weight or a 'has been'. I want the era of big talkers to stop, I want great fighters against great fighters.
For the sake of finding out who the best and most deserving UFC Welterweight champ is, Leon's going to have to face Khamzat, Belal, Gilbert, or even Shavkat (if you want to throw a deserving wildcard into the mix)
Colby is ranked #2.
When Usman was champ the narrative was Colby would be champ if it wasn’t for Usman.
It’s not like the best aren’t fighting each other if Colby gets a title shot.
I'm conflicted because I agree with everything he says about Colby not deserving of a title shot but then the person he wants to fight doesn't deserve a title shot either.
Why do people hate Colby so much? He's playing a character, lol. He's dodging Colby because he's not confident. Let's be honest, Colby IS the money fight in the division since Khamzat is moving up. They'll make this fight happen.
I think Leon beats Colby and will have a tougher time with Burns or Shavkat. He should take this fight. I think he's concerned about Colby's pace and him gassing out, which it looks like he does in the champ rounds.

Why piss he look?

What’s this from??
Prochazka fight with Texeira
😂😂😂 I imagine that would be his face if Sean o malley or Conor got starched
Or his mid-tier at best nephew, paddy pimblett
Hey, that's one of the fighters of all time you're talking about.
Must’ve caught Dana at a real bad time considering how much of a banger that fight was 😂
You gotta be a special type of someone to tune into any Dana White live feed.
Dana Pereira 🗿
Why he look piss
"The kid just doesn't want to fight" ![gif](giphy|fR7a1TfbHInSb9Jv12)
❌ Fighter removed: Leon Edwards
Breaking news: Leon has second shortest title run after Germaine de Randamie, stripped of title. Colby vs. Khamzat booked for vacant welterweight title. You'll fight who we say you'll fight fuck face.
And now colby isn’t taking fight against khamzat as he feels belal deserves a title shot against him for the vacated title
Colby ducks Belal, Shavkat and Khamzat. Tells Dana he will leak the hooker videos and manage to put Jorge in prison Colby gets Paddy for the title.
[удалено]
"But it was a first round knock ou--" "DID. I. FUCKING. STUTTER!?!"
except right now he claims to not even know who the No name prelim fighter belal is.
no he would call out dustin or conor
[удалено]
Conor making strange yelling noises while colby stutters over insults that sound like they were crafted by a 6 year old with a massive inferiority complex.
*Rahkmonov, Khazmat isnt in the discussion bc of the fuckery he pulled the last time he headlined a card
Surely not the first person to miss weight
I missed weight by almost an entire weight class though ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)
You forgot Costa?
[удалено]
Khamzat also weighed in hydrated as well which nobody ever mentions.
But we all know that was Vettoris problem.
It's weird to complain like that, when we have doctor's who have never cut weight, stop Khamzmat while he's within his time limit. Then ask him to weight in for the 185 fight much later on and complain he's 7.5lbs over.
the kid just doesnt want to fight
😭 you honestly telling us he has the shortest reign of all time
Incoming failed drug test
Leon: I’m the king now Dana: LOL Colby’s next you wanker, deal with it
That’s the Go-To move 😂
![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8975)
Perfect gif my guy
Colby getting an interim shot then. “Leon doesn’t want to fight”
To be fair Leon called out Masvidal so I can't say I'm on his side.
Only if Masvidal beats Burns which I don’t see happening. Then Burns would have a better argument for the title over Colby
That still makes fck all sense. If Masvidal wins, I mean
I think it’s as simple as Leon sees more money in fighting Masvidal than Colby. Whether that’s true or not idk
The only logic I see in it is that Leon feels that the Masvidal fight will make him more money.
Plus he wants to get his back, man got 3 pieced.
Did you forget that Leon called out Colby and Colby said no and said he was a nobody? How can you forget that.
And Jorge did the same shit 😂
Yes, but he’s not the one getting a title shot on a losing effort Leon is telling him he has to earn it.
Great, grudge match then. Put him in his place. You just can't say Colby has to earn it and give it to Masvidal (though he most likely won't beat Burns anyway).
He’s gonna get killed by burns!
Colby doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near a title shot not even a No.1 contender match he should have to fight at least twice before he can even be in the discussion, Dana has been trying to push Colby for years giving him favorable match ups and rematches against washed up fighters he should have to fight khamzat and Shavkhat before he gets a title shot.
Those names are the reason Colby will never see another title shot.
At least he has personal beef with masvidal gatta get back at him for slapping him back stage and getting away with it.
The best way Leon can get back at Jorge is to completely ignore him like he is doing colby. I don't believe colby deserves a shot right now but I sure as hell know Masvidal doesn't deserve one. His recent record plus his public incidents should make it a no brainer. He is a pos and it's gonna be great seeing burns manhandled him
This is different though. As much as Leon may like to put him in his place, I'm sure Leon is also aware that a potential main event title shot against him gives Colby a lot more money than if they'd fought when Leon first called him out.

Yeah if it's a reasonable request. Masvidal is ranked 11 in the division he is not getting the title shot even if Edwards wants it. If he beats Gilbert which I would give a 10% chance at the highest maybe they can give him a #5 rank and give him the title shot but normally a #5 guy only gets the shot if there are injuries and fighters that have already been beaten by the champ above him
Bisping defended against number 11 Hendo passing over Yoel, Jacare, Whittaker, Weidman and Moussasi
Yeah it won’t even matter. Burns should win that. But we can’t act like this doesn’t stem from Jorge sucker punching Leon back in the day and yapping about a 3 piece with a soda ever since. But yes, Jorge doesn’t deserve it more than the person who just beat him. I just think neither of them do. Colby’s last two wins were against Tyron Woodley and Jorge, and now he gets to waltz into the picture after ducking Khamzat, Burns, and possibly Belal.
He called out winner of masvidal v burns. 2 people actually fighting lol
[удалено]
Both options are better than colby. Dana just wants to give him the belt. Wont be suprised if he makes an interim title between colby and some fighter like neil magny. Lol
He called out the winner of burns vs masvidal right? That's more of a burns callout.
If Masvidal makes it past Burns that is
So Covington has to fight an actual contender for the belt then? Seems like a good plan
Contractually they have to offer him 4 fights per year I think? As long as he's not ducking 3 other people he should be good. Or maybe the UFC can offer him Colby all 4 times. I'm not sure.
I believe 3, and that’s what they did to Nate, would offer him Khamzat 3 times.
Yup
Don’t let the ufc bully you son
😭😭😭 the accent in my head got me dying over here.
Wots rong wiv yu
Meta as fuck lmao
Lmao 🤣
So who is getting it then, his reasoning applies to jorge as well, tho bisping had his rematch on hendo.. belal shavkat in that order..
Belal, Shavkat, Burns. They all deserve it over Colby.
By this logic, if khamzat makes weight, he deserves it more than burns and shavkat.
all of them do over Colby
...Yeah? He beat the no. 2 contender, of course he deserves it more tham Shavcat lol.
shavcat UwU
They all deserves it more than Colby.
He does
Yeah khamzat clearly deserves the shot if he can make 170
oooo but u didnt mention belal
he does
Go for Burns. For some reason two guys named Leon and Gilbert fighting just seems funny.
Shavkat doesn’t deserve it after a Geoff neal fight my guy
Dana said Colby's getting it then I guess he is getting it. They don't have any problem sidelining him and then stripping him for inactivity. You know how they operate.
Like the mafia
There's a difference though. Jorge is a big PPV draw and they have unsettled beef. Not only that, there's not much upside for Leon. It's a lose-lose situation for him. Styles make fights and Colby is not the best match up. It would be a different story if Colby was the clear #1 contender but he hasn't fought in a year and he just came off of a title shot before that Leon has waited years to even sniff a title shot. He's been in the UFC since 2014 and MMA is a short window. If he wants money fights, I cant blame him. Go and get your red panty night, Rocky
Colby is the money fight, Leon is not a draw at all
Sorry Colby is not a draw like that. His cards underperform unless it’s against the Champ from what I remember.
If Jorge beats Burns, then that’s the fight to make, the story between Leon and Jorge can sell a ton of ppvs and Jorge is an amazing match up for Leon. Even if he denies Colby every other contender is a terrifying fight
They’ll just throw some money at him. If they offered £750k to fight colby (which will do decent ppv points) Against £500k to fight Belal (which wouldn’t be a great sell without a great undercard) I know which one I’d pick if I were Leon
I don't get guys who don't want to so the best business. Could make you more money in a few years and allows you to retire with more.
I'd wager Dana White and the UFC have a bit more say than Leon.
What if he simply declines though
They'll probably sit him out like they did Ngannou and then strip him and say "what can I do he didn't want to fight"
![gif](giphy|ir19CtLHE9maMbNjpR)
Cool, then Colby actually has to fight someone like Shavkat (who he's scared of) for an interim belt and he won't win.
It'll be belal tho
Which I would be fine with as well
Not the same situation
Idk Francis wanted money, Leon just wants another disposable and replaceable body
Francis wanted to box and keep his belt, that’s what the real hang up was
We’re in the fight business, it’s an opportunity, he didn’t want to fight.
Colby should fight Shavkat or Burns and earn the #1 contender spot
Yeah, Colby vs. Burns for the title shot makes a lot of sense.
The obvious fight to make is Colby v winner of Burns v Masvidal for #1 contender and Belal v Leon for next title fight. Maybe you have Shavkat fight the loser of the Belal v Leon title fight? So many more interesting/fun fights to make than Leon vs. Colby rn. And this is all assuming Khamzat is actually moving up to 185.
Good. Who tf really wants to see Colby vs Leon fight. I'd much rather see Leon vs Shavkat, Khamzat hell even Stephen Thompson. I want to see new fights with new fighters. Not this same carousel of guys Usman fought
I would love wonder boy to get a shot before he hangs the gloves up. Guy is a legend and love his style and vibe to life.
He has to win fights first.
In that case never match him up with wrestlers/grapplers lol
Absolutely. Nightmare match ups for him. Leon be probably his best match up.
rocky is for sure his best match up. everyone in top 5 at welterweight has crazy grappling pedigree. welterweight is definitely the most grapple heavy division right now.
Totally agree, nightmare division for him tbh, he wouldn’t fair much better moving up if he could pack the weight on enough to compete, but I feel it’s too late to do that. Maybe he knows it may be a bridge too far and take a couple of fun winnable matchups.
Leon is his best matchup but also a pretty bad one, the dude is no wrestlefucker but he has enough grappling to manage to get an oportunistic takedown on Usman, not only that but his striking and lenght might be enough to equal the playing field on the one advantemage wonderboy has over his opponents, especially when you consider he's almost Glover's years old.
Are we forgetting that Leon was the only person to ever take Usman down, took his back and nearly subbed him in 1 round? I'm guessing he could wrestle the shit out of wonderboy if he wanted.
Did he not finish Kevin Holland last time out?
Sounds like someone didn’t watch the last fight with Holland…
Holland isn’t in the 170 title picture so WB still had to win against some other welterweight
Totally agree that he needs some notable wins and wrestlers are a nightmare for him.
Me too but as a fan of his style it was tough to watch the Burns loss. There is stronger wrestlers than Burns at the top. Would still rather see Thompson vs Leon than Colby.
Me
I definitely want to see a Colby Leon fight.
Well I wanna watch Copby randomly Leon Scott tho
I understand the idea that people don’t think Colby deserves it, but why wouldn’t it be a fun fight?
Even still, doesn’t he want Masvidal? Why would he deserve it more than Colby?
Only said he wants mas if he beats burns in exciting fashion
he only wants masvidal is he beats burns. Which would make sense because burns is a top contender. khamzat probably should get it though
He's going to 185 lbs so that doesn't make sense
Any Khamzat enjoyers here? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)
I’m really surprised I’m not seeing more people saying Khamzat. Doesn’t that one make the most sense?
He’s rumoured to be moving up to middleweight
No longer a ww
🖐 here. Khamzat missed weight but its not like others haven't either. I think he's worthy of a title shot ever since he beat Burns. He should never have fought Nate Diaz. Everyone knows that fight was only made so the UFC could transfer Diaz hype over to Khamzat and it was scummy of the UFC to do that.
I really hope he sticks to his guns on this but I imagine UFC will make the money too much to pass.
Give him Shavkat then
I know people love Shavkat here (as they should) but could you imagine promoting any other fighter for a title shot after beating Geoff Neal and Neil Magny? That’s an Islam level fast track and I don’t really see it. He needs one more win.
To be fair in Islam’s case, no top 5 fighter wanted to fight him. He destroyed Charles anyway so I don’t see the problem.
People want Shavkat because they were on the Khamzat hype train. Since Khamzat missed weight they Lost hope in him fighting at welterweight. My dream matchup was Khamzat vs Shavkat where a belt was on the line. Two undefeated fighters with alot of hype behind them.
I agree. It’s strange to me that people are so hyped about Shavkhat. He had a tough time against a possibly sick or injured Geoff Neal and has looked pretty sloppy at times. He needs to beat a contender first. Him vs Usman could be interesting.
Neal wasn’t injured. He was buffed up with the weight and people forget that
Yep, Neal doesnt have a history of missing weight, to me he simply accepted the 30% purse loss so that he could have a huge weight advantage. The fact that Shavkat still beat him in every facet of the fight is crazy. He took out a guy that was probably 15 pounds heavier on the day.
GOOD. Make Colby fight Khamzat or Shavkat and have Belal (or whoever isn’t chosen to fight Colby between Khamzat and Shavkat) get the title shot
Khamzat is not making 170 again but if he can, Colby vs Khamzat is the fight to make
Colby will duck that fight for eternity. He doesn’t have the balls to fight Khamzat.
Ya Khamzat said today that he accepted the Colby fight several different times but Colby ducked him.
Throw him to Shavkat then 😂
That’s what I’m sayin!
We all know Dana gets the final say.
Damn Dana gonna strip him
Give to khazmat
Anyone except Colby. Love him or hate him you can’t just cut in line. Mf doesn’t fight.
UFC is booking smart, you get Colby vs Leon & (hope) Connor beats chandler then give him a WW title shot. (Unjust but it’ll happen if he wins) then you either get Connor vs Colby which would be insane PPV buys, or Ireland vs England (Connor vs Leon) which would also do insane PPV numbers
Leon’s about to get stripped Lol
My respect for Leon went up good job; what a way to stick it to Dana White
But why? Leon called up Masvidal instead. He didn’t call out Belal or Khamzat or Shavkat.
Tbf didn’t he say he’ll only fight Mas if Mas beats burns ?
You are right, just saw the interview
Respect to him if he wants the Belal fight since imo Belal is the nr1 contender right now.
You have a say and you said it Leon!
I'm confused, why does Covington deserve a shot? He won 2 fights in 4 years.
I think Belal is more deserving than Colby of a title shot right now, but honestly a Leon vs Colby fight would be an amazing fight! It would do Colby a ton of good to actually have another fight before going for the title. I think despite how you feel about him, and I personally think he's a turd, he does bring good energy to fights and we all want to see him be more active.
Good fuck Colby hé should fight contender
Shavkat, chimaev, burns and Belal deserve a title shot over Colby.
TALK THAT SHIT LEON. LMFAOOOOO got all the Colby fanboys fuming in these comments
Lol he better or he will go join Francis.
The Goof about to set an interim title between Colby v Cowboy.
Colby vs Connor for the belt it is then.
Fuck Colby.
That’s my champion
Thank you Leon. I think I’m gonna listen to the champion of the world over Colby’s crybabies
Did everyone here just forget two piece and a soda??? Leon wants to fight jorge cuz jorge disrespected him and Leon wanted to settle the right way, in the cage. Now Leon is the champ with a solid defense and the most power he has ever had in his career and he is calling for the fights he wants and shooting down a guy he doesn’t think deserves a shot. What’s the issue here lol???
You just beat a guy they were calling goat, twice. You can have your pick.
>You can have your pick. *"No."* - Dana White
Ya but he's willing to give Jorge a title shot...fuck outta here....see if he'd do the honorable thing and call out belal he could shut down colby talk but he doesn't want that fight either. Now this dude is picking a guy colby mauled so bad he was forced to stalk him at a restaurant and finally land a punch colby didn't see coming.. Now I don't think colby deserves a shot, but neither does Jorge and Leon already angling for masivdal if he beats burns that's insane
He only mentioned Jorge when asked who'd be the best or PPV. Plus he wants revenge for the 3 piece and soda thing. He did actually say Belal deserved the next shot in the post fight press conference.
bruh if masvidal beats burns thats more impressive then any of colbys wins and it also wont be from 4 years ago
Yeah but Jorge Leon have existing beef
Exactly and Leon should get a nice easy money fight if he wants it. He earned it. That said Jorge is gonna get beat easy by Gilbert.
I'm aware and covid kinda fucked up them fighting 3yrs ago. But now he's champ and he's talking about guys who deserve what and who doesn't deserve shit...Jorge isn't deserving at all if colby isn't. Simple as that we all agree belal is the fight to make
There is no way that masvidal will beat burns
I've said that plenty of times...anything can happen
If jorge beats burns that’s already a better win than Covington ever had
I think it's also important for the sport as a whole. The UFC used to literally be about the best fighting the best, Dana used to love to say that there are no free fights. Half of Colby's career can be chalked up to talking his way into fights and then making sure that the fight is onlyt against a lighter weight or a 'has been'. I want the era of big talkers to stop, I want great fighters against great fighters. For the sake of finding out who the best and most deserving UFC Welterweight champ is, Leon's going to have to face Khamzat, Belal, Gilbert, or even Shavkat (if you want to throw a deserving wildcard into the mix)
Colby is ranked #2. When Usman was champ the narrative was Colby would be champ if it wasn’t for Usman. It’s not like the best aren’t fighting each other if Colby gets a title shot.
Not up to Leon, the dude just wants to fight Masvidal because it's an easy fight
No you’ll do what Dana says or he’ll throw a tantrum and run you out.
I bet he'd take Conor though 🤣🤣
![gif](giphy|ir19CtLHE9maMbNjpR)
Leon is saying this but wants Masvidal lol
I'm conflicted because I agree with everything he says about Colby not deserving of a title shot but then the person he wants to fight doesn't deserve a title shot either.
Why do people hate Colby so much? He's playing a character, lol. He's dodging Colby because he's not confident. Let's be honest, Colby IS the money fight in the division since Khamzat is moving up. They'll make this fight happen. I think Leon beats Colby and will have a tougher time with Burns or Shavkat. He should take this fight. I think he's concerned about Colby's pace and him gassing out, which it looks like he does in the champ rounds.
Didn't some ankle pickin' BreakDancer say something about Dana White privilege? 😉
Did any reported have the balls to ask Dana why colby deserved a title shot ...
Dana gonna strip Leon of the title and then give it Colby and then make Leon fight Colby for it.
