[tornado362]

I also plan on grabbing tickets man. Where are you from?

London, been to Masvidal/Till and Blaydes/Aspinall.

Wbu?

 

[Strijfy]

fingers crossed for the Aussie, and a West Aussie at that .

 

[Aurelian]

What time is the Main Event? Is Leon gonna be sleepy?

 

[Bend NvR Break]

If Leon doesn't win he's shot

 

[cold_spring_harbor]

NGL that's a tough bounce back fight for leon

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Horrible

Why?

 

[asdf122345]

Leon Edwards vs anybody doesn't sound very interesting.
One finish in 6 years.

Maybe if Leon fought agressively, but watching him coast to a comfortable
decision is not why many of us watch MMA.

Him coasting against JDM will cost him the fight. This will be a stand up boxing fight. As long JDM keeps it standing he wins.

 

[dominion]

I like it. JDM got hands. The styles match. But Leon might go the crotch sniffing route if he doesn't like the standing. You'd think that's an advantage however, burns tried that on JDM and got woodchipped. Looking forward!

 

[FreedomCricket]

I think it's too dangerous for Leon to try to wrestle JDM. Just overall a bad match up for Leon.

 

[WildShrimper]

I got Leon winning, Jack did great against Gilbert to clutch out the win, but he was down in that fight. JDM definitely has killer instinct though, if he hurts Leon it could be over.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I think this will be a competitive fight if it happens.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Holy fk banger fight.

But for the love of God, DO NOT MAKE THEM FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AGAIN

 

[gentel]

I'm picking Leon Scott for this one. He may gotten clowned by GOATlal, but JDM ain't on the same level as GOATlal

 

[wwedanawhite]

Tough to pick, but if JDM is healthy i can see him getting the better of Leon. JDM is hard to fight at any distance in striking and i can't really see Leon grappling him for 5 straight rounds. I do wonder how JDM will physically be after the multiple surgeries

 

[Mind Mine]

Leon has the skillset to win via a slow methodical striking affair and definitely has the skillset on the ground. I don’t see JDM winning a point fight, nor a wrestling affair. I don’t see him KOing Leon, I have Leon by a bit but he will do it so safely it will infuriate

 

[KO Shotz]

Gonna go with JDM in this one.... There's a dog in JDM that Leon doesn't have

This

SOLID Main event for UFC: London
Comes from extremely reputable Australian MMA reporter.

Who you guys got?!

It’s been quite risky for JDM in these 3 round fights, I mean he can have Basil Hafez hunched over eating knees to the rib cage in the first round and have him Rocked on Jelly Legs in the third and people will still act like it was close because Hafez ended up on top of JDM a few times literally only due to JDM spamming Guillotines not even his own takedown attempts.

These guys like Burns can only try to take JDM down and stall the fight, he managed to finish Burns with a broken arm in a 3 rounder, 5 rounders are a lot more forgiving and as long as JDM gets back up from a takedown his opponent does nothing with, JDM can get back to teeing off.

If his gas tank can last for 5 rounds it just gives him more time to do what he does.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

London, been to Masvidal/Till and Blaydes/Aspinall.

Wbu?

Cool!
When it comes down to UFC, I’ve been to the Blaydes vs Aspinall fight night, the first UFC Paris event (Gane vs Tuivasa), UFC 286 (Edwards vs Usman 3) and UFC 304 (Aspinall vs Blaydes rematch).
You plan to go to this event with friends?

 

[BangBang]

This is tailor made for Leon. JDM will be countered into Bolivia. I'd predict a 5-0 shut out for the mumbling giant from the wastelands of Birmingham

 

[CatchtheseHands]

JDM is gonna have to dominantly beat Leon to win cause they sure as hell won't give him a close decision win.
