[@xplax8139]

It was so heart warming to see Joe again, i remember training with him and the master ghost fist at Philip Lam Leegar at the first anzac ave, gym on the 4th floor when i was like 10 years old, and then going to dominion rd when leegar moved. Going to all the ASB stadium kotr fights watching joe, Slava and obv you fuck shit up in the ring. That era of kotr was iconic i wish I got to back in time and relive that. Now seeing you in the UFC is really fasenating as a Kiwi/Nigerian all the way in the US on the big screen holy shit thats surreal. Seeing you make it as a great in the UFC has been so inspiring. Thank you for your what you have done. Please fuck up Periera, ill be supporting you from all the way back in st heliers 😂

[@NotLoay]

Mainevent is not going the distance IMO: Either Usman comes in and wrestles from the get-go, tires Leon and then try to finish (he can be finished too like we saw), but probably will go for the finish later rounds perhaps just for Ego purposes 😂😂 To sort of "Get that loss back" .. Or Either Leon comes in threatening the previous KO combo just to mess with Kamaru and make Kamaru gun-shy, and starts peacing Kamaru as the fight go, with his supposed infinite Cardio that got hindered by altitude.. And eventually Kamaru becomes reckless and get finished. Either way it's going to be an Amazing fight

[@DeterminedFC]

mark this comment either of them wins by sub in 3 rounds or less

[@m-jay356]

I don't think anyone including Leon said he got infinite cardio lol

[@troy6636]

💡🙏 🥋 Well ...my feelings of the Edwards/Usman is I was pulling for Usman last fight and it hurt with that incredible KO ... However I was very happy for Edwards at the same time the way he pulled it out when it was looking so Bleak .... Then I gained more RESPECT for Usman from the way he handled his defeat it was SO Honorable showing what kind a Warrior and Champion he Truly is ... Now having saying that I’m pulling for Usman again and I think he realized his mistake and will come prepared and win by KO or Submission... You learn more from losses then you do wins and the Wisdom he acquired from that last fight will show .... Wish them both GOD speed and let the best Warrior prevail 🙏

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

You can tell izzy had the same reaction. He felt so bad instantly but then 20 seconds later, he felt so happy for Leon.

curious to see how leon performs in his hometown as the champ. his stamina was also heavily affected by the latitude at salt lake city during their second fight. very curious to see how well he'll keep up this time in his "comfort zone". i expect kamaru to perform as well as he typically does night in and night out.

[@sandman62100]

There is nothing on this God's green earth is more dangerous than a motivated and focused Kamarudeen Usman. I'm not one to make excuses but his last performance was an anomaly. He didn't take Leon seriously and he had to overcome multiple fouls (eye pokes, fence grabs, and groin shots) which left him compromised and vulnerable to that kick. Credit to Leon though, he did what he was supposed to do. The Kamaru that will show up this Saturday is different, however. I can see it in his eyes. When he has that fire in his eyes there's not a man on this planet that can compete with Kamaru. The blood of the Naija people runs through his veins. We fight, we cry, we are hung, and we love... this is what it means to be Naija. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 Forever!!!

[@mrlittlemartian]

Leon rd 1 KO in front of that London crowd 🇬🇧

[@mrspiff6955]

😂. This is good

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

I’m not saying I disagree with you, because I agree with everything you said, but you didn’t mention anomaly. In MMA it only takes that one second. Literally, the same thing can happen to him again even in the fifth round with 10 seconds left. I’m not saying it will just saying.

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

@@mrspiff6955 I wonder if he’s being serious or joking lol

[@Apexflake]

You are not serious bro 😂 usman had to endure fence grabs? What about in the second round after leon won the first he immediately gets his foot trapped in the cage and usman unloads on him? Also usman grabbed the cage way more than leon with no repercussions where as the 1 time leon grabbed the cage the ref noticed and fixed it

[@B3A5TxMODE]

I got Edwards. Their last fight in utah really gassed Leon out that he wss basically surviving after the first round. The entire night there were only two finishes, the first fight and last fight. The elevation in utah had everyone the entire night gassing out (rockhold vs costa is a great example). Leon took usman down the first round and was winning imo. Then the elevation got to him like it got to everyone else…everyone except Usman. Usman trains at elevation in Colorado so he was accustomed to the atmosphere and he was able to take over from the second round onward. Leon was saved by a miraculous leg kick be he absolutely did not have the energy to truly fight his fight. With this one being in London i truly believe Edwards can and will win

[@B3A5TxMODE]

I posted this on another prediction channel as well

[@chukwubuzorolumor5015]

Funny enough, this no altitude thing is actually to Usman's favour than Leon. Have you not wondered why the kenyas dominate in long distance races. It's because their country is high up there and they train in high altitudes and get used to it. So when they come down to compete, there is enough energy to finish strongly. That being said, When you relate to the scenario here, you'd understand why I said what I said. I think it will be an easy fight for Usman. Dominance all through five rounds if it goes the distance

[@don-eladio]

@@chukwubuzorolumor5015 i’ve been saying the same thing. People are acting as if usman didn’t already have ridiculous cardio, he was simply less efficient in utah than we’re used to seeing imo. Leon will be allowed to perfom at his accustomed elevation but that doesnt mean usman wont still have the advantage

[@ttoao]

How do you all explain Usman v. Edwards 1 😭😭 no altitude there

[@M_Flex]

@@chukwubuzorolumor5015 This is a disingenous take, the difference being that Kamaru didn't gas in Utah, so he wasn't limited by his cardio, Leon did. Leon unlocks a whole lot more by not gassing, Usman is mostly the same because he didn't gas in the first place.
