Does Leon Have A Chance Against Islam?

[Koya]

Leon's while career is getting lucky because a shitty referee put Kamaru away from him with an undeserved break up

I think some forget how Big Leon is.

After the first Volk fight I figured Islam didn't have it in him to Leon and tonight kind cemented that opinion for me. Leon is a very good grappler, manages distance really well, is bigger and stronger than Dustin. Not to mention he'd have a sizable reach advantage. Don't see that fight going great for Islam but I'll watch the hell out of it

Leon would smoke Islam

Islam doesn’t have the skill to go up and beat a bigger man - he wins fights by athleticism

yes leon can absolutely win against islam. very bad matchup for islam. Islam is super super good but fighting guys his size or bigger that have distance management like leon is scary. Islam could definitely win too though, he's that good.

Chance?? What lol?? He’s gonna be the favorite. Leon would clearly beat Islam

First of all brilliant fight tonight! Respect to both warriors.

Leon is a phenomenal striker but Islam is too, the difference I think is that Leon can bring a wider variety of strikes to the fight.

However I do notice that kicking at Islam is a very big risk due to the threat of the kick being caught and then that leading to a takedown.

Another thing is that Leon has drastically improved his grappling over the years even being able to take Usman and Covington down.

However both Usman and Covington aren’t submission threats the way Islam is. Both don’t really hunt for submissions they just kinda grind you out and establish dominant positions. Conversely Islam is a master of submissions and just proven tonight you have to be on your A-game when on the ground with him.

I feel like this is a tricky fight to call and naturally will come down to if Leon can defeat a much improved Belal.

What do you guys think?

Personally I’m leaning slightly towards Leon but I of course could be wrong.

lol you guys always wrong

I had always said that once Leon fought alone like Islam or Shavkat that he was fucked. Because Leon has a habit of shooting TD on wrestlers getting it but then he ends up on bottom position because he knew he was up or would keep shooting and get countered, Usman won pretty much a majority of 2nd fight after Leon shot on him, Leon spent an entire round on the bottom because he shot in the trilogy, and the Colby fight where he gives up an entire round because he knew he was up

What the heck? Prates is even Bigger than Leon, or at least looks obviously taller than Leon in the cage. And Islam would have fought Leon differently, than the way Prates did. Leon was not used to someone hunting him down, like what Prates was doing.

Edit- I do still feel that Leon is a better offensive wrestler than Prates though. So I don't think Islam would have to worry about anything like that from Prates. Again I'm talking size being the advantage for Leon and his offensive wrestling.
