[@IsaiasMGPalafox]

Imagine Gaethje not picking Usman to win. 😂😂

[@WYNNBETS]

Leon is gonna chop the tree down by attacking the lead leg. I would like another KO but I think this one goes the distance with Leon out striking Kamaru by a wide margin.

[@johndiengdoh4332]

Damn mystic Mac

[@daddyal2825]

Great call dude or she

[@musesoftheinternet]

you were spot on.

[@dantdt4693]

Easy call to make well done

[@gingerwaynos]

[@chaim5326]

leon by knee KO

[@Jack_Hunt]

KNEE KO LOL

[@hoopdocs]

Leon Gets The KO In The 3rd

[@who5301]

No way.

[@Mrbazibazi]

i think that too, first wrestlem him the first 2 rounds make him really tired then ko... hope so.. leon is faster and his precission is very good but after wrestling this isnt the case anymore..and usman have more power in his strikes and a better condition in wrestling..

[@pastorlul2384]

Absolutely not chief

[@Mrbazibazi]

@@pastorlul2384 after the fight its easy to say 😆

[@pastorlul2384]

@@Mrbazibazi No people underestimated Leon way too hard leading up to the fight, when he proved he can actually wrestle in the 2nd fight. Unless Usman was going to outstrike Leon in the 3rd, the fight technically should be Leon favored

[@kamalaharrisiswhite]

Edwards only needs to win 2 rounds to get the decision.

[@alexanderwolf1280]

i see what you did there

[@rukiablack6462]

This is why usman is going to maul your boiii from 1 to 5

No one better argue this lol

[@barrettwittkamp6166]

Lol!!!

[@Mesfin887]

Edward will get ko or give up don’t you worry about that

[@Austin123.]

I'm looking at the 1st and 5th round. As majority if not all of the 2nd to 4th round it was mostly a fight against the cage. So this is my prediction of it. Think that Utah, a place being of a very high elevation, really effected Edwards. The UK's elevation level is quite average and Usman trains in high elevation. Anyhow, I think if we look at those two rounds (1st & 5th) we see Edwards being able to take Usman down, control him on the ground, and do very well in the striking. The fight I believe will be based upon if Edwards can keep up with good footwork, fight out of range against Usman, and stuff those takedowns or potentially get a takedown himself again to probably control Usman on the ground towards a submission. Think the only way Usman can win this fight is if he uses his wrestling and control Edwards against the cage like he was doing in the previous fight. It's a must that Usman doesn't try to strike with someone like Edwards who is more tricky in the clench than people think, especially with those elbows in there.

[@jonoharper4729]

Gaethjie with the scripted, massaged answer that Ali prepared for all his slaves

[@xxitactical_8723]

I definitely don’t think the fight goes the distance. Think it’s gonna be a standup war.

I live in FL, USA and I think Leon will win again. Usman was a great champ, I just feel he’s past his prime now and that Leon is just reaching his.

salamalekum and still!

[@veronvadivelu6134]

Mokaev is a heavy owe

[@OhTheLedger]

In this trilogy, Usman should threaten Edwards with some submissions, Usman should not only rely on his wrestling in order to win. I really think Usman has done his homework. Usman via Unanimous decision.

[@Denchanter]

UK fighters are bound to say Leon

[@aston-corenbanner2708]

Mokaev didn't see that, also all the Americans said Usman would win so why u crying for

2:05 grow up you’re getting KO’d and kicked out

[@imlimarjamir8349]

2 or 3 round ko by usman...my prediction...

[@phillip5397]

To sum this video up, all UK fighters are biased and chose Leon even though Leon was dominated for 37 minutes. Beautiful kick and set up but let’s be honest skill set wise, Usman has more tools in his arsenal and chances are he’s going to dominate.

[@jawee6144]

Invauable assessment Phil

[@mattgibson7650]

Yea EPO is a hell of a drug

[@zacknight9137]

What would we do without you, Phil?

[@LJ-MMA]

He actually doesn't have" more tools" leon is far more the complete fighter, Usman is just a pressure wrestler with great strength and cardio and ok boxing and jab, he doesn't have submission threat or great muay thai either, he has limited tools he just uses them extremely effectively, but he's been choked and ko'd clearly a discrepancies in those areas once put in certain situations

[@MrElpajita]

Boom, headshot!

[@neilwattoo]

Trevor Whitman going 0 and 2. Most overrated coach. If Rose was on he'd be 0 and 3 tonight.

[@MrFrednilla]

Let's see if EPO Usman can come back from the shadow realms. Usman can't run or go down stairs and yet has cardio for days. If Usman gets the W he has his secret juice to thank

[@hennyspiderman9974]

You can literally do pool work as an alternative. GSP didn’t run either

[@MrFrednilla]

@@hennyspiderman9974 Through out his career as his knees and back have gotten worse, his cardio and endurance have gone up. That aint pool work.
