Once Colby got comfortable he started winning

[Dacha]

I am proud of how Colby fought.

Leon is a killer. Colby has no real standup offence nor defence at this level.

He took Leon down a few times, did ok in scrembles...

So he did good according to his ability. Minimal damage.

 

[MMAJunkie]

Who in the top 10 does he have a win against?

Question still stands... you said he was a low level fighter with no relevent wins. So everyone he beat are bums right?

 

[YEET]

Colby Chael Covington

 

[ookii]

ITs because Leon practically let him by fucking around when he was ahead on rounds. Otherwise Leon wouldnt have used his grappling offensively so late

Again, name one current relevant fighter he beat. I'll wait.


His best win was a loss to Usman.

Once he got to the point where he needed a finish to win he accepted 49-46.

And here we go …,,,,,, <45>

I agree, but fight IQ is part of the fight game too and Colby has extremely low fight IQ

 

[ledonk]

He barely even won the 5th round. Yeah, when Leon ran out of ability to take it serious, he started "winning".

 

[DreyDay]

He only has wrestling in his repertoire and is about to turn 36. Trying to wrestle in your mid/late 30s won't win you any fights with those pillow fists. It worked when he was younger and athletic but those times are over now.

Ofc it kinda worked in the last round because Leon was tired and didn't know wtf to do

Ok so you agree then... all the fighters he beat are bums... that is what you are stating as a fake mma fan...

Holy hell you're a living, breathing logical fallacy.

"So you agree to things I made up that you never said!!!1?1!1!"

No, dummy, he has no relevant wins in the division because he only has a couple ranked wins against really old guys who were far past their best days when Coby hugged his way to a boring decision win.

He literally built a career out of beating an old former champ, then sitting out against anyone currently ranked.

So I agree that you're full of strawmans, death by assumptions, no true scotsmans, and really full of something else too.

The only time he got comfortable was when Leon went for subs and lost the position. Other than that he got dominated.

 

[MeatGrinder]

The man moves like a current chuck liddell. Very weird to see a decorated wrestler moving in such an unathletic zombie way. Plus his cardio is trash. I believe his body is destroyed including knees and hips.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Colby looked like shit.

 

[Ukfella35]

Hes an overrated bum who leon beat in 1st gear he didnt even try move on

 

[CptHowdy187]

He was clearly very rusty and took a long time to get going, but he was pressing the action and landing some good shots in round 4, as well as securing the takedown and staying on top for most of round 5.

It's a pity they didn't put this fight together instead of Leon vs Usman back in March.

If Colby got going in round 2 instead of 4 then this is a much closer fight.

 

[Mind Mine]

If every person you beat of relevance is fucking retired and you are hanging around in the top 10 fucking years later you have literally have no relevant wins. What part of that is challenging?

 

[d'Coda]

If only Colby started a little earlier. We just seen how Leon reacts off his back and doesn’t know what to do

Too bad he didn't get started before he had already lost four rounds!
