Leon wins this easily

Colby & Usman are done, that era is over

But I do see Colby hurting Leon pretty badly at one point, but Leon will compose and win via TKO in the 5th

People keep saying this but he has

He rocked Usman multiple times in the first & second match

Did he have Usman doing the Brock Lesnar dance? No... But youre lying if he didon't stun Usman hard


And Leon's chin is weaker than Usman's based on my Sherdog Redbelt knowledge
 
Undeserved obviously but it's a great fight honestly.
I see Leon struggling early, colby will put it on him strike, soon as Leon trades, takedown etc. The colby special. I think by the 3rd Leon will have figured out some weakness and and start to take over. Leon by either late tko or 48- 47 decision for edwards.
I think this will be pretty competitive but I feel like Leon's wrestling and tdd has entered a new level since the last fight with usman. He obviously went away and really worked. We all saw it he got out wrestled a lot until the ko. The third fight Leon shut usmans main attacks Down
That being said I still see colby getting some takedowns in the early rounds. He's just a lot more relentless and blends the stand up and wrestling more fluidly than usman.
Coby is going to have to fight perfect for 5 rounds. Leon Is sneaky man. He times usman with a solid knee to the dome in the third, landed some savage body kicks. Colby is tough no question but I think Leon is going to start piecing him up or possibly rock colby with a standing elbow when colby initiates a clinch and put him away by tko.

I think Leon has upgraded in wrestling since Usman but I agree with pretty much everything you said. I think it's going to be a barn burner. Sadly for Colby, i think he gets pieced up or stopped but a great fight. Better than usman 1. I think by 3rd Leon figures him out but early Colby lead. I think Colby wins a world title at dome point.
 
Three shots without beating Amy legit competition. What a joke lmao.
 
Funny how people rag on Belal for being boring yada yada but Cobly's only realistic avenue to victory is by a grinding decision.
 
Leon wins because he’s a real welter who’s not in his late 30’s. You fools are delusional to keep underestimating Leon.
 
Days before Leon shadow realms Colby: 80

Edwards via tko colby is to small to hold on to him im betting colby does not get one take down in this fight..what legit proper sized welter in there prime as he dominated with wrestling ? Cant think of any…when that happens he will be a rabbit in the headlights and hopefully retire the cringy moron
