Colby forgot the rest of his script 😂

[@emanuel81111]

i think he knows this can go horrible wrong or incredible good for him, if Leon catches , hes gonna punch him even after the ref stopped the fight, hes not gonna stop hitting colby´s stiff body, henderson vs bisping 1 style

[@leelunk8235]

@@emanuel81111 LEON DOESN'T HAVE PUNCHING POWER, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING

[@OoLiiMiiT3D]

@@leelunk8235You would be surprised. If you hit the right spot everybody can go to sleep by everyone. So saying Leon has no KO power doesnt matter, you dont need to be Ngannou to KO someone.

"this man's as good as dead" Leon isn't emotional. He's calculating. He's probably at his most dangerous right now.

Leon aboutta meet his dad

[@Know3ody]

​@yendevus1747 I'm a huge colby fan but when has he ever properly hurt anyone? I like him because of his output, pace etc but he's certainly not a dangerous guy.

Dana wasn't willing to risk it. Immediately went for wrist control, lmao.

His dad was a criminal gangster

even if Colby gets bodied in the streets i'm not mad

[@Bill_Dippertly]

Good you are supposed to not like him

[@pilly1000]

Leon fighting with emotion, not sure ff that's a good or bad thing. We'll see soon enough.

[@gsk523]

seems colby intent was that

[@de9293]

Khabib fought Connor w a lot of emotion and look what happened 😂

[@grey8931]

Leon by demolition job

[@Bill_Dippertly]

@@de9293Khabib is just also a much better fighter and was always in control of his emotion even when “giv location so smesh” There is more examples of fighters that have been in their emotions and failed because of it. Leon going for the quick KO will either succeed or he gets gassed in the first round.

[@lukasskywalker6514]

It worked against usman right though maybe this is good for him we’ll see.

Bad choice in turning off the crowd audio. And Rogan sounds worse and worse every single time.

Lotta love for Leon. Colby opened at -130. Leon is now -162

[@Bill_Dippertly]

Colby has this I just got a feeling.

[@datube5913]

I love this fight. I don’t wanna see either lose. It’s hard to deny Leon though after beating Usman back to back.

[@yourgurl_day9227]

No after colby talked about Leon dead dad. I most definitely want colby to lose the fight

[@MannyBlaze031]

Hopefully Leon can be talked to, to be a little level headed. I was all for the revolution but then i remembered I like striking more than wrestling. And Strickland said it best Colby's a B...

[@stevendip5318]

If I've learned anything watching the UFC it's that wrestling is the most powerful martial art. Usman's knees were completely destroyed by the time he fought Edwards, I'm not a Colby fan but I'm pretty confident he wins the fight.

[@GenXer69er]

Agreed. Yet when Conor attacked Khabib's dad it didn't work out for him.

[@rickjamesbetsh]

@@stevendip5318 you're confident? lol then how come all the odds makers are confident leon wins it? if you're so confident go bet your house on it.,

Feathers have been ruffled.

Leon is pissed , Colby made a huge mistake running his mouth like that..

[@petero6528]

Mistake? Even semi conscious Leon tonight thinks that a good one. Colby made his job easy. leon is too stupid to avoid a trap as easy as that. Fighting pissed against colby doesn't work. Ask the humiliated masvidal about it

Yeah but it all depends on how he channels that energy. If he throws everything out the window and just goes crazy for a finish it’s bad. If he takes what Colby says and uses it as extra motivation and to lock in even harder then it’s a good thing. Only time will tell

[@bobnardo26]

Can't stand either. Passing on this one

Gave me memories of when Conor dissed on Khabib's dad. I'm rooting for Colby but he made it dark. He made it personal.
