Leon vs. Belal is a rematch

[Objectively Correct]

I just want to gently remind everybody that if the UFC had competent referees, it's painfully obvious that that's not the case, the first fight would have been ruled a disqualification. Leon was warned multiple times. The fighters get instructions in the locker room, they get the instruction "fight clean" right before the fight and they get multiple warnings during the fight, even some freebies. Don't have rules if you're not going to enforce them.

Even though you might argue that this doesn't change anything for the rematch, I would not be surprised if it affects the concerned parties at least psychologically.

Don't think it will affect Leon mentally. He win the only full round between him and Belal.

And he didn't intentionally poke him. He caught his eye with his thumb with a closed fist punch.

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

I kind of want Belal to win. Leon is being way too cocky and still saying he was going to win the first "fight".

Leon is doing to Belal what Till did to him at UFC FIGHT NIGHT 147 - TILL VS. MASVIDAL. Lol. The irony.

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Leon's gonna poke his eye out again and make him cry.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

He caught his eye with his thumb with a closed fist punch.

Closed, but wasnt really a punch, just kind of a reach to pull the kick. The first eye poke was just fully extending his open fingers into Belal's eye

First eye poke was legit. Still hard to prove intent.

The fight ending one was 100% accidental though. Just unfortunate to catch somebody in the eye with your thumb on either a punch or a dummy punch.

Belal by tko

 

[Captain Tenneal]

This is going to be a good fight regardless!

Current UFC meta is fouls don't deduct points. I wouldn't be shocked if we see more thrown in this fight. Fouls only are consequential when your opponent quits because of them.

Should Leon say he was going to lose the first fight?

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

Should Leon say he was going to lose the first fight?

Yes because he should've been DQ'd. He got his comeuppance anyway.

Oh wow one round doesn't tell the whole story it seems who would have thought
