I don't think Rakhmanov beats Edwards

Yes! Because Colby actually got work in,in the last rd. Shavkat can too,only it could be sanctioned murder instead of pillow fist gnp

TBH I fast-forwarded through the later parts of that fight, didn't Colby get in advantageous positions only because Leon was entertaining the grappling going for subs and his own TDs? No way he'll do that vs Raks
 
TS is on to something. Leon's footwork and TDD was amazing last night and the 3rd Usman fight. He only got taken down because he willingly (perhaps foolishly) went to the ground with Colby to prove a point. If he wants to he can turn any fight into a slow paced kick boxing match.

The x factor is Shavkat's power and killer instinct and well roundedness.

This might not be the most exciting fight because of Leon' style but I can't wait to see who of these two is the best WW.

All I'm saying is he loses focus on the task at hand he can end up like Bryce Mitchell
 
Well I don't think Shavkat is all that special standing but if Leon can't stop him from pushing him to the cage, he's probably getting put on the mat and Shavkat is a better grappler than any of the guys Leon has been fighting.

Leon definitely is capable of beating Shavkat but Shavkat isn't afraid of making fights messy and getting gritty with it and that's generally how you beat guys like Leon who have clean, refined styles.

Geoff nullified Shav TD is the biggest answer, hope we get to see this fight though. It would really answer a lot of questions of Leon & Shav :O

I think it forces Leon into banging & Shav t he GOAT Finisher of all time, his streak is incredible

Also Colby was shook by his footwork,afraid to engage. Shavkat will get in there. He knows his power can make a difference,unlike Colby,and has more tools to play with there
 
You're assuming edwards beats belal.

Can you imagine a universe in which belal has the belt? It could be a reality soon... <45>

More then anything I think Leon is to strong for him. Leon looks heavier then ww on fight night to me. U could see colby struggling and Leon standing up at will.

Once Shavkat is on top of you he’s going for a finish unlike Usman or Colby. I don’t see Leon surviving on the ground

Usman and Colby don't have the skills to go for a finish. It's odd that they never got good and gnp or bjj.
