Tired of people saying Colby "looked scared" and "was too hesitant" and completely taking away how Leon controlled like 22 minutes of that fight. Wherever that fight went, it was based on where Leon wanted it to be. Pressure, front kicks to the body, leg kicks, jabs, and straights. Colby didn't do anything because Leon didn't let him do anything. Colby got a takedown stuffed, ate a head kick for it, then got taken down himself. Colby got beat up, plain and simple.

Hes old and doesn't have that explosiveness anymore or the cardio and taking 2 years off shouldn't have been that big an issue cardio wise if he was in the gym the whole time

[@thebrokengrappler]

Leon's gameplan was exhausting to watch... and I'm in awe. Pressure with footwork, stab the body, chop the lead leg. Stuff takedowns and immediately follow with strikes to raise colby's guard. Follow with grappling/takedowns. Phenomenonal. One of the most beautiful performances in WW title history.

[@dogshake]

Yeah Leon looked so fucking solid. Seeing his physique, hearing how he thinks and then watching how deliberate he is during fights is crazy. Dude has those Mighty Mouse tendencies.

[@WTFNoobProductions]

Its annoying so many American salty comments about it being boring. Can't appreciate their boy getting pieced up and even out grappled 🤣

[@butterbean2257]

I do think that takedown in like the first or second round should’ve been it for him, the only parts of the fight Leon lost were when he tried to grapple. I think if he just keeps range and pieces him up he maybe gets a ko, either way great performance

[@IqbalIqbal-kx9pf]

[@colt7526]

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Colby had one of worst gameplans in a title fight. Simply awful and is somewhat overrated as well. Hasn't even beaten anyone on a winning streak for over 5 years now. The UFC should have given Belal this title fight but rankings and winning streaks doesn't mean anything anymore... And Give Paddy someone in top 15 next or Benoit. He has had 24 MMA fights now and doesn't need any more experience.

The weird thing I noticed is that Colby doesn't have an mma coach or a wrestler/grappler on his corner. He only has his striking coaches with him. Against Usman it was good as prime Usman is impossible to take down, but against leon he really should only have been wrestling. These wrestlers keep falling in love with their striking but dont realize they're levels behind natural high level strikers like Leon, wonderboy, alex Pereira or even Izzy in the past
