It’s Leon’s only highlight

[@havz9080]

I’ll be honest, I don’t think he cares much! Like him or hate him, he gave us fans a good run specially in covid times! Not only that, we all complained about his style and what did he do, switch it up and became entertaining and running through guys twice! Yeah he’s cringy sometimes but you can’t knock him and his run! I don’t think he’s worried about that KO as he’s done it to a few himself

[@IronFist2508]

you couldn't be more wrong, you need to watch the first fight. Leon is several levels above Belal in terms of fight IQ, its plain as day to see, if you can't see it sorry but you haven't got good observational skills. I will be coming back to this comment

Kamaru is the best fighter I have seen fight in an octagon, to me his fighting style and the way he moves forward would never be matched. mm if today his body has slowed down due to age, which is completely natural, he remains the G.O.A.T and no one is beaten and faces opponents with the style he did! and although Léon is good, he is more like a footballer who does everything to keep the ball at his feet and win, this Léon is a real sprinter. at the olympic games, he would have been all the rage lol.
