Colby outstruck Leon 109 to 65 and had 4 times more control time...(And had a broken foot)

[knowsitall]

100% robbed.
Just like Trump in 2020.

 

[pick999]

Leon is the opposite of slow starter and his opponents win the 5th round

 

[BBMN]

Liberal media broke Colby's foot.

Hunter's laptop is to blame. It snuck up behind him, and he tripped over it in the grocery store. He was buying real milk, for real men. Not soy milk for woke liberal soyboys.

 

[El Fernas]

That number does not make much sense, he wasnt doing much for 4 rounds and managed to almost double what Edwards did in just 1 round but still making no damage?

He is the WW Faber when it comes to title matches, he already got 3 and lost all 3, at least Usman fights were entertaining and close, this one wasnt, he didnt even tried his own game until it was very late and also cause Edwards sort of let him do it, needs 1-2 good wins over title contenders to get another shot at it, Edwards is younger than him to begin with, wont happen as he is already ducking the two guys that would earn him one, Shavkat and Belal, wants nothing with those guys, Brady? Thats a meh win at this point, Wonderboy? Same, unless he beats them two very convincingly, but the ones ahead of him are the ones he needs to beat if he wants to sniff another title shot at this point, he is closer to retirement.

100% robbed.
Just like Trump in 2020.

He lost by 7,060,140 votes.

And what rounds did Colby win....

 

[Masturbin]

after Colby beats Wonderboy.

In 1,5 years

 

[MRT]

A classic case of where the numbers do not tell the story. Leon's striking was far more impactful.

Colby getting hurt is his own problem. He's now 0-3 in WW title fights, and 2-3 in his last 5 fights with those two wins coming over older now-retired fighters.

It would be absurd for Colby to get ANOTHER title shot with only one more win, especially over ANOTHER aging, soon-to-be-retired fighter like Wonderboy

Let Colby face Shavkat while Leon defends against Belal...if Colby can win that fight, then perhaps the UFC can *begin* to entertain Colby staying in the title mix.

 

[ferrisjso]

Thats in total strikes Leon landed more signifigant strikes not just for the fight but in 4 of 5 rounds. The one round Colby outstruck Leon(barely) he had 5 missed takedowns. Thus no judges gave Colby that round.

Colby had that control time mostly in the final round and Colby was down 4-0 going into the 5th on all 3 scorecards.

 

[herpd807]

Colby lost. I'm moving on. And I like Colby!

The numbers do tell the story in this case Leon had more signifigant strikes which is usually the main striking stat. TS was cherry picking stats to make the argument he wanted.

Due to the Anti-American narratives which have found their way into the world of MMA, I believe Colby will not been able to compete for title again, despite the great advantage he was display in striking. In additional, another #AmericanHero and #bluecollarwarrior Belal "The Big Brown Combatant" Muhammad is also facing the terrifying effect of many -ism against America.

You hear that sound all my #UFCFriend? It was the sword of #Bigotry being unsheathed by People's Republic of Canada who run MMA like master of puppet. They control all of MMA media and all narrative which was have exist today in MMA landscape. They fabricate battle between US vs. UK and then turn one each other against one the other. This was been plan. All part of Canada's #GreatLeapForward to take over combat sport.

Give many love to Canadan brother because they was needing it due to this level of oppression against their norrmal way of life.

It was not become their fault big government was sell out to #Satan and Ari Emanuel.

[sdpdude9]

A wonderful example of misleading stats. 54 of his strikes came in round 5, with only a single strike being considered significant. It was literally pitter patter strikes. And he still was the closest to being finished that round.

 

[mudrubble]

Not at all saying Colby won.

He didn't win.

But this may be cause for a rematch after Colby beats Wonderboy.

Colby simply started his domination too late.

Colby Covington adds broken foot claim to alleged anti-Trump judges as another reason for UFC 296 loss

Colby Covington adds broken foot claim, along with what he said was judges’ bias against Donald Trump, to UFC 296 loss excuse list.

mmajunkie.usatoday.com

"According to the UFC’s stats provider, Covington outstruck Edwards 109-65 overall and had about four times as much control time."

Man, why wait to see if he can beat another guy with great footwork in Wonderboy? Why not just turn him around for his 4th unearned title shot and let him at least try again.

Julian Lane just wants to bang, bro.

Colby just wants to fight for titles, man.

 

[Captain Insano]

Colby won confirmed.

I'm not sure of all that you're saying but if you're blaming China, I'm all in. They are the cause of all the evil in America and elsewhere.

yes.

 

[mudrubble]

yes.

Exactly. I've been saying forever that Canada is the cause of all the evil in China and elsewhere.

Full time they ate some blame. Their PM was created when his mother swallowed Castro's load but had a hole in her stomach. It got in the uterine. And, then..... Just-out Lie-deau, the holographic Castro baby, has taken the reigns of evil and rides roughshod over us all.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Strike count across teh whole fight is not how MMA Judging is awarded.

Teh "Strike count" figure itself is gained from people sitting cageside, who just do the best they can, and they don't distinguish much between hard strikes & lesser strikes that are considered "significant."

They're called "un-official"... for a reason.

So either way you look at it, we have to look at this fight round by round to determine the winner.

You could literally have someone who has a "strike count accross the whole fight" higher than the other, but only delivered them in one round. (This seems to be the case here), but however that shakes out... "total fight strike count" isn't a case for someone winning the fight. Those strike counts aren't even official on top of that. We go round for round... & even round for round is laughable how many people use these "UN-official" strike counts to make their case.

I'd assume TS is trolling us with this. I would hope she'z not that dense.

 

[nostradumbass]

Your trolling doesn't fly here, you know Colby has a low percentage chance of beating anyone below 35 years old at this point.

The last time Leon beat someone under 35 was a split decision over Gunnar Nelson almost 5 years ago. His fight before that was a 35 year old who'd lost 3 of his last 4, and he only won that 29-28, and all of his fights since have been 35 or older.
