Who should Leon fight, now that the fight is off?

[Kono dio da!]

Firstly, I'm glad that fight is off. It was disrespectful in the first place and even worse to rebook it afterwards. The fight is reportedly off with chimaev. I think he should fight colby. Jorge doesn't seem to want colby, either because of their friendship or because he thinks he'll lose. Colby is always in shape. Leon is in shape. Leon hates colby, called him racist, there's friction there. They're close in rankings. Book it.

Yes its the fight to make. Let Chimaev fight his way up like everyone else.

If the fight really is off, Leon vs Colby would be great indeed, yes.

Premature thread we know nothing as of yet. The fight is not off officially nor do we know any reasons

Colby already said he doesn't want to fight Leon Scott

Wonderboy. Winner gets a title shot.

Agree that this fight makes sense if the Khamzat fight is actually off. Let everyone else posture and let them get on with it.

 

[burningspear]

Did Conor swat him off the card?

 

[Krayt]

Wonderboy. Winner gets a title shot.

Why should either of them skip over Colby?

Colby vs Leon is the obvious fight to make

RT has no official people inside the UFC. Not a credible source for UFC related matters they just qouted Frontkick or whatever it is another obsecure source

They wouldn't recklessly throw out a report like that.

citing Frontkickonline? no thanks

It only cites Frontkickonline by saying that they were the one who initially reported it then sources close the situation confirmed that the fight was off.

Wonderboy can't have contact until Feb. That would put the fight in April or so and that's being optimistic. I don't think they would want to delay Leon that long for a Wonderboy fight (although makes sense the UFC wouldn't make that fight either way because they aren't giving Wonderboy a title shot with a win.)

Cool. He can fight Leon Edwards instead.
