Nate just killed Leon Edwards career

[Megalodon]

Leon is a young elite fighter, he's never gonna be a star but he's definitely champ material imo.

 

[Paulsp]

Completely agree

Winner of nate vs Masvidal will 100% leap frog Edwards and get the next title shot after Colby

 

[MoneyGun]

If he keeps winning his shot will come. Nothing different than other less exciting fighters have experienced. Colby should have got his shot long ago for one example.

 

[buddhist09]

Lol damn, I mean Leon can fight......wait does T-Wood got a fight booked?

 

[whaleshark]

Who is Leon Edwards???

 

[dredd57]

Good, boring fighters should not be rewarded in prize fighting. Guys like Colby and Floyd earn their checks because they make up for it with A-level trash talk and heel'ing. Leon is just boring in and out of the octagon.

Pretty bad when the most memorable thing about you is getting pieced up backstage after a fight.

Colby turned down the shot

Lol at "only chance to become somewhat relevant". He's a top 5 guy on an 8 fight winning streak at age 27. Fighting Masvidal was probably his best matchup to get a title fight right after, but Nate and Jorge are both in their mid 30s with double digit losses and will never be champ while Edwards is a lot younger with a much better record and could be champ in the next year or 2.

 

[JosephTessaro]

Leon "nights" Edwards.

 

[dmwalking]

A fight against Street Jesus was Leon's only chance to become somewhat relevant and now Nate put his boring ass back on the prelims where it belongs. Poor dude can't catch a break LOOOL.

He just has to beat RDA in impressive fashion. Maybe one more big name. If he keeps winning and Masvidal stays relevant, I’m sure they’ll cross paths. But that’s a big IF

 

[MartinGibson86]

Whatever...gotta just keep winning.

Nate will get a title shot if he beats Jorge.

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

He’s got 2 finishes and 7 decisions in his last 10 fights. 2 of them are spilt. I think his style is killing him.

That said, the way the crowd reacted to Nate, you know he will get a shot if at almost whoever he wants.

 

[The Cysko Kid]

GSP did that for almost 10 years, and noone seemed to complain...

What? Tons of people complained. Like constant complaints.

People still to this day complain.

And the worst part is, he could have finished them all. It instead played a mostly defensive game the whole time.

For some reason, his French Canadian ass didn’t understand that in English “Title Defense” doesn’t mean, “Only Defend when fighting” which is what he did.

Because when he’s “Title Challenger” he always goes for the finish.

Blaming his English seems the best explanation

 

[Derbemag]

Send that guy to CFFC

 

[RonniePickering]

Jorge fighting Nate could very well mean Leon gets the next title shot after Colby<45> at least we know Jorge has straight up ducked him, I dont see how this affetcs Leon in anyway. Jorge wont get a title shot by beating Nate lol

You obviously weren’t here ten years ago

do something cool and make a career

 

[Jawth]

Ez dos santos is on a 7 fight streak and fighting soon. If he wins a fight against Leon makes sense.
