Why Does Leon Get the Cheater+Delusional Sherpass?

[oski]

In the first fight it was two eye pokes, the first of which got a stern warning from Herb before Leon temporarily blinded him with the second...

And to top it off, both Leon and his coaches started a narrative about how Belal was just looking for a way out.

Really?

Sometimes these things happen in MMA.

 

[bean88]

Because people wanted him to win vs Belal probably

Ehhh. Didnt look like an intentional Jon Jones style eye poke to me. Looked to be a thumb in the eye on a closed fist. It was obviously a really bad poke but I don't think he went for it.

The Usman/Leon fights were dirty on both sides tbh.

In the 2nd fight Usman cheated relentlessly without getting so much as a warning let lone points taken. He grabbed Leon's glove to prevent him sinking in the RNC in round 1.

He grabbed the cage to stop Leon taking him down a 2nd time in round 2. He then seemed to fake a groin kick which there's some debate on. Some think it hit the cup, others don't, but Usman does have a history of faking fouls when fights start to get away from him a bit.

In the 3rd fight Leon grabbed the cage to prevent being taken down and had a point removed. Deserved but felt like a slap in the face after all the unenforced rule breaks Usman did in the previous fight.

Also, he doesn't get away with it. Plenty of people on Sherdog call him a dirty fighter. Colby's "Leon Scissorhands" nickname stuck on here despite Colby being extremely unpopular.

Was this before or after he wobbled Belal with a headkick?

Probably the worst eyepoke of all time. It's crazy Belal had to wait a year to get this opportunity because the UFC decided to put their boy Colby into a title shot.

 

[Natural Order]

Probably the worst eyepoke of all time.

Chris Weidman would like a word over here…

Yeah? What does he want to say?

 

[koa pomaikai]

Wow I didn’t know Edward poked Belal eyes. Wtf.

Yeah? What does he want to say?

He’d like to show you the 1-2 down the pipes to both eyes. Get your hyperbole out of here.

"He was winning that fight anyway, so the pokes don't matter."

Leon gets a pas for being delusional because he’s way less delusional than Belal. Watch the embedded for 304 & tell me that man is not deeply insecure & trying to delude himself into believing he belongs.

Ngl the 1-2 with both shots being blatant eye pokes is GOATed.

Why screen shot just the Headline? Did you even read the article? The headline "Quote" is incomplete. He did not say "That eye poke never happened".

"Well, it's not revenge for us. For us, if that eye poke never happened, I believe Leon would have finished him in the second round the way the fight was going. To me, analyzing the fight looking back at it, Belal was looking for a way out to steal a decision. 'Cause that eye poke and the noise he made, literally crying and screaming; you've heard it for yourself, the world's heard it. It's funny that he didn't have to go to hospital. He didn't have any eye damage. He didn't have to go to hospital to get his eyes tested."

Note how the word "IF" changes what is said and meant? You don't Capitalize the word That when it is not the beginning of the sentence unless you are trying to miss lead the reader. That is what Headline writers do to try and stir you up to actually read or click on what is said. Use some critical thinking and don't just jump on the first thing you see as if it is Gospel.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

I love how you reduced the whole fight to the end of it as if no eye pokes have ever happened.

Totally ignoring how Leon beat his ass pretty much the whole time, even before the eye pokes happened. Belal basically did nothing.

Most Shertards don't even read past the title in Sherdog threads.

No chance they are going to read whole articles. Scummy journalists rely on people like TS not reading past the title. It's how they poison the public against certain figures.
