Colby beat Leon easy

[The Demon Sword]

Colby is even more pillow fisted than Diaz, Edwards walks him down for a tko round 3.

 

[KOPPE]

What does that prove? Usman hits harder than Leon?

ts is a knowing Colby dick rider who hates Usman. thats why i brought it.

Leon struggled hurting Nate, how will his pillow hands do what Usman did to Colby?

i didn't say hes gonna do him like Marty. but its not going to be an easy fight for him

don’t think what Usman did to Colby can be replicated by another fighter in WW,

we dont know that, because he keeps ducking everyone

especially a decision specialist who has built his win streak fighting low ranked fighters.

50% of Colby's wins are decision just like Leon. check ur facts

lol I didn't even mean to be a troll and say Leon lost. I guess I got carried away there. It was a huge moral victory for Nate but Leon won hands down fair and square.

tbh I have no idea how Colby vs Leon would go. They seem to kind of cancel each other out a lot. Leon would probably lose some grappling exchanges but I don't see him getting ragdolled. On the other hand Leon might be the best striker Colby has ever faced even if he doesn't pack a ton of power. It might come down to who has the better gastank.

True. And the Diazes love their moral victories lol. It’s funny how the vast majority of their losses can be spun into a self-serving narrative by them, despite coming up short on the cards.

Hell, though, Nate didn’t even give props to Josh Thomson who beat him as badly as he’s ever lost in the UFC. I’m a fan of nick and Nate but just calling that element the way I see it.

Very well said regarding that Leon/Colby matchup.

"Tko stopage" you should be telling yourself nice try

That was a competitive fight against a guy who lost like 2 or 3 straight and lost the following fight and was only "finished" by a freak rib injury that colby didn't inflict

Colby is a bum and is going to get finished even faster

Nothing i said was wrong lol

A tko is a finish.. a stoppage via breaking a guy's rib is a legit finish or do you think tyron broke his own rib?

Don't be suprised if Colby knocks out Leon[/

You are not the Messiah.

Colby is knocking NO ONE out.

 

[Paynebringer]

The only way Colby wins that fight is with him refusing the actual fight and then having his cuck fanz making threads about how he would've beat Leon instead of just getting in cage and beating him. Nate is a different energy fight than Colby and Leon's approach to that fight would've been way different than he brought to with low energy sativia burnout Nate.

Everything you said is FALSE.

Tyron broke his own ribs LMFAO because colby certainly didn't he break his ribs Tyron had a freak accident in an awkward position wrestling colby, Colby didn't do shit but celebrate like a crum snatcher after being woodleys most competitive fight(Woodley got dominated by everyone else he fought) in 4 straight losses lmfao.

Nate is the double champ since he beat Conor twice and beat Edwards better than Usman did which makes him better than Usman. He was also just getting started with Masvidal so he's still the BMF.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

I don’t see how Leon beats usman but I’d comfortably pick him against Colby. His rudimentary stand up is perfect for Leon’s style, and he isn’t going to be taken down easily. I don’t think Colby matches up well with him at all.

All jokes aside Leon beat Nate that night, give him his credit.

Colby has pornstar cardio and would have tko Leon in the 5th had they fought tonight

Colby in a porn production would be that guy that sucks off the main actor to keep him hard and ready to pound

your comparing Apples and Pears, don’t think what Usman did to Colby can be replicated by another fighter in WW, especially a decision specialist who has built his win streak fighting low ranked fighters.

When has Nate been hurt bad? Nate is very durable. Leon completely dominated on the ground and on the feet. Neither Colby nor Usman can hang with Nate on the feet. If they fought Nate they'll both be laying and praying the entire fight.

True, but Colby and Usman are both better on the ground due to the wrestling than both Nate and Leon, plus they not hit harder than Nate, well Usman does for sure, maybe not Colby. But I am sure Colby will just grind him out regardless

Didn't Usman have like 1 finish in theUFC in like 8 or 9 fights before beating Colby?

Something like that, but he wasn’t really a striker. Since Whitman, he has clearly improved on his striking and starting to drop guys.

Leon had always been a striker, and has 1 TKO

 

[SuperAlly]

to be fair, he didn’t lose to Nate at all. He lost a round and lost in the court of public opinion, since getting wobbled to the point that you look out on your feet against a badly compromised Nate in round 5 is not a good look for a potential title contender. That said, he won that fight quite decisively.

You’re right, of course, about styles but I still think Colby has a solid advantage over Leon. Leon is well rounded and very effective at what he does but guys like Colby have a relentless pace and workrate. I see Leon as a guy that can comfortably fight five rounds when he dictates the pace like he did against Nate, RDA and Cowboy. That’s a good thing. There’s a lot of guys who fatigue in five rounders even when the pace is methodical.

But against Colby, I think the pace would fluster him cause Covington would be landing shots from distance, clinching up and dirty boxing, then going for takedowns as well. I believe a guy like Colby would really prevent Leon from setting in and using his skills effectively.

Good post.

Solid arguments.

Leon could beat Covington, but he needs to get out of his comfort zone to do that - train to fight at a higher pace. Covington wont let him fight safe and methodical for 5 rounds, Covington would push the pace. Leon wins a technical battle comfortably, but if Covington can impose his will and his pace on Leon it could go very badly for Leon in the late rounds.

Again, pretty fair and solid analysis.

ts is a knowing Colby dick rider who hates Usman. thats why i brought it.

we dont know that, because he keeps ducking everyone

ShowYouKnowNothingAboutMMA just jumps into every welterweight thread spamming negative posts about Leon. He's a troll and not worth the time of proper debate.

Some solid posts in here giving legitimate reasons about why Colby would trouble Leon. I would have fancied Leon quite strongly but after that last minute last night it really highlights Colby's path to victory - keep the pace high throughout, take Leon out of his rhythm and you have a solid chance of stopping him late.

 

[Misanthropist]

Colby stomps Leon.

frustrated Cuckington fan trying to cope

After Usman’s recents fights, I don’t think anyone should post this lame meme again.

Colby was the only one who made the fight “even”, pressured relentlessly and ate bombs for 5 rounds while everyone folded early the moment they felt Usman’s jab. In other word, he has a better chin than everyone in the division.
