Media Leon says he will NOT sign contract vs. Colby Covington

[LoveMyMMA]

RIGHTFULLY SO.
Good on Leon. Someone’s gotta step up to that bald headed goof.

Fk Dana WHITE privilege.

Could Trump have had a say in all of this? Maybe he ordered Dana to give Colby the next title shot?
Speculation galore but I feel like Dana and Colby sharing a lot of the same values has a lot to do with this preferential treatment.

Good, Colby doesn't deserve it

 

[The XL]

He's angling for a Masvidal fight because it's the most winnable and the most marketable.

 

[heSHurt]

Stripped, Colby in the title fight. Next.

 

[OldBoy91]

I like his resolve but they will probably just push more money into his pocket until he accepts.

UFC seems pretty intent on Colby being the guy.

 

[humdizzle]

good job leon. making me more of a fan with this move.

masvidal is just as lame of a choice though

 

[Hellowhosthat]

He will NOT sign the contract until they give him a new contract himself at which point he will absolutely sign the contract.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Yes Leon!

 

[SplashB]

aww, is little Leon scared?

 

[LindyBrah]

Stripped. Colby vs Shavkat for vacant belt. Leon vs Belal 2 as title eliminator.

 

[Mittens]

I like his resolve but they will probably just push more money into his pocket until he accepts.

Win/win for Edwards. Either he gets a pile of pintsworths that pleases him, or (as the consolation prize) gets to be the hero we want.

 

[Cpt Migraine]

Watch him fight mcgregor for the "integrity belt"..

 

[Joinho10]

GO ON ROCKY!

 

[Bluntforce420]

If he fights a real contender instead of Colby or Jorge, I will become a fan of his just because of that

 

[moosaev]

Excellent!! Leon gained a fan!!

 

[spamking]

I'm pretty sure there is something the UFC can do to talk Leon into signing it . . .

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

RIGHTFULLY SO.

I don't understand the push behind Colby. He's got a style that doesn't translate to finishes, and his trash talk sounds like something a 15 year old edgelord virgin would come up with

 

[El Fernas]

Ok, so who would it be?

 

[OldBoy91]

aww, is little Leon scared?

Of a guy that can't bust a grape or finish his own dinner? Highly unlikely. The guy signed to fight Khamzat when he was the boogeyman of the division on 3 separate occasions. He fought the P4P#1 at high elevation in the middle of nowhere.

 

[humdizzle]

what if leon pulls an ngannou ?
