Leon got f*cked over by the UFC

[AzorAhai1]

Leon was supposed to fight JDM, but then at the last minute (okay, couple of weeks) notice he has to fight a grapple heavy guy, rather than JDM (a striker) who would have been a more favourable matchup for Leon. I like JDM, but that was poor from the UFC to do that to Leon. It would have been good to have seen a matchup between JDM and Leon to determine the better MMA figher, but more so the better striker overall. Do you think it was kind of dirty from the UFC to fuck over Leon like that?

Couple weeks ? I mean. Shouldn´t he always train both grappling and stirking. His opponent got the same time to prepare for him.

 

[Luthien]

Not sure how much I care about Leon Scott and his career after he fumbled the ball and let Belal through the door

 

[RockyLockridge]

leon got EXACTLY what he deserved (except being champion, never deserved that)

 

[JustforBROCK]

I mean he did, but Leon also shit the bed. That was as big of a factor as anything else. Seems like Leon - along with guys like garbrant and woodly (he got away with it for more fights thou) don't have the same drive they did before they got the belt.

 

[flektarn]

Are former champs supposed to get favorable matchups?

 

[Trabaho]

Now I just need to see Leon vs Masvidal. That press conference and fight would be so epic.

 

[Natural Order]

Leon Scott fucked Leon!

 

[svmr_db]

He should've been working on leveling up his grappling as soon as Belal took his belt, he has nobody to blame but himself.

 

[Skarsgard]

He could have declined the fight like other fighters have. He accepted a short notice fight that he knew would be a complete stylistic change and it didn't work out. Things happen.

 

[Koro_11]

Fuck Leon, guy’s a twat and a boring one at that.

 

[sdpdude9]

He was offered an opponent and he accepted. Didn’t have to if the stylistic change up was too much.

 

[ninja boot]

So he was able to manage Usman x2 and Covington but its unfair he had to face Belal? GTFO.

actually he's talking about brady, but yeah your point still stands

 

[TITS]

He would have beaten Janitor Jack too, that's what really sucks for him. Now we have a DWCS bum for a champion and a boring blanket as a #1 contender. Styles make fights.

Also, it's obvious Belal should have taken more time off to recover from that bone infection/surgery.

 

[DapperDave]

Leon is a martial artist but not much of a fighter. He was an easy night for a lot of guys. He had some highlights.

Even tomorrow or next year, if he gets booked, you have no idea whether he will actually really show up and fight.

That is Leon.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Bless your heart, ts.

 

[Bork Neslar]

The UFC got fucked over by Leah Edwards, actually. He didn't deserve to be champion in the first place. It's weird that someone as boring and unlikeable as Leah Edwards even has fans. You fanwhores need to accept your idol sucks and move the fuck on. He's not the champion anymore and he'll never be champion again.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Got what he deserved

thanks for the catch. recency has me thinking about Belal lol
