Leon Edwards is one of the elite WW's and has a real shot at gold

[TheBulge]

Once again most ignorant MMA fans don't know what they're watching. They only saw the 1-2 Diaz landed.

In reality he dominated this fight everywhere and made a threat like Diaz look like a bum. Edwards has the technique, focus, cardio etc. and perhaps most impressive is how calm he is inside the octagon. It's a tough fight for Usman who is now focusing on being a striker. He's legit.

This just needed to be said amongst all this usual verbal diarrhea on sherdog tonight.

 

[Jone Jons]

stockton slap 50-44

 

[Simple Southerner]

Agreed .I hope he rematches usman and beats him

 

[C0NCH3TO]

He almost gets KTFO by a .50 lw.

 

[johndhi]

would love to see him fight usman.

 

[Pressure Project]

He barely survived a 5th round slap down from an unranked has-been.

 

[Sinthesized]

He dominated Nate? Did we see the same fight? Nate fighting above weight and competitive at his age and wear is impressive vs what most people think potentially could be the champ

Edwards chin is suspect, that’s why he spends so much time on the bicycle

Edwards was the one pressuring in that fight.

Edwards was the one pressuring in that fight.

Yeah and? He still was on the bicycle with constant movement

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

I looked at this fight tonight and I think of how badly a guy like GSP would run thru a fighter like Edwards.

Any WW can get clipped on the chin by that cross and get wobbled. It's fighting

AGreed.
I am amazing how haters look for reasons to shit on Leon.

Nate isn’t a one punch kind of guy, he’s volume. Edwards getting rocked there isn’t a good look. I think his chin is suspect at this point.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Just imagine if Usman landed on him the 1-2 he decapitated Masvidal with...

It doesn't matter bro.
You get caught on the chin and shit happens.

 

[KingBarbozaGOAT]

he dominated 24 mins of the fight and people act like he is trash

 

[ejlarson249]

would love to see him fight usman.

You like murder eh? Nate is as wiped as any fighter can be. And he never had any actual power anyway. He almost accidentally KOd Leon. I don't need to say anything else.

Nate would struggle to beat the top LW's in my opinion, let alone the top WWs. Sure Leon looked good against him but everyone expected him to. It wasn't nearly as impressive as what Masvidal did to him. As much as Usman's striking has improved, I don't see Leon beating him. Maybe Masvidal will even quit ducking him now that he saw how Nate almost KO'd him.

Khamzat 1 shots Leon
