Safe to say Khamzat would've destroyed Edwards...

Nah, Khamzat would have just missed weight by 8lbs and the fight would have been off.

not before the whole covid thing

but what would leon do? he would just leg kick and circle even if khamzat was tired in front of him, and his passive style and low IQ while grappling makes me think a tired khamzat would still take him down and lay on him. And I think it's possible leon gets tko'd in round 1, brady was landing good gnp whenever he got him down and I think khamzat has better gnp than brady

IMO the best Leon is behind us. His pro debut was 2011, so he's rounding out 14 years. When you hit that combination of age and millage, we see a drop off in the <185lbs weight divisions.

He won 12 UFC fights in a row, now lost back to back fights looking like he doesn't have a game plan. This is basically the DNA of fighting careers, you're elite until its gone.

Edwards fall off needs to be studied

I don't really think he has had a fall off, I just think his success was very circumstantial, ie. right fights at the right time.

He was never that good. Usman dominated him for 24 min in the first fight until the miracle kick. People act like Belal created the blueprint but it was always there. Usman and Colby were just shot fighters when they fought him.

2nd fight.

Usman made the beat him with the blue print in the first. And would've 1 the 2nd but for the kick. The kick changed Usman mentally imo
