[@oldironsides4107]

@@Mikamichae None of those guys were fun to watch. For me. . Woodley wasn’t as bad of a watch. He had some great fights before he was in the ufc I just don’t like Leon’s style. Not because he doesn’t finish fights either. My favorite boxer was Pernell Whitaker and I think he had 17 kos in 50 fights. I Just don’t like Leon’s fighting style. And the potential nightmare of Belal getting the next shot. Ww has always been bad. In the ufc. They all beat the same washed guys. And Leon had never heard of of Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. From Birmingham. Leon’s not a young fella and that is the most offensive thing of all

[@darkclaw1462]

Love to see the UK thriving with two current champs In Leon and Tom. They should be proud. And I really hope they both have Tom headline a PPV In the UK next year against the winner of Almeida/Blaydes for the vacant HW title, and Leon as the co-main vs the next WW title contender (Shavkat, Belal, etc.). We March forward Rocky! LFG!! 💯💯

Think it should be the other way round...Interim Champ as the co-main, and the Undisputed as the headline. But Regardless a great moment for British MMA

[@MakoTheFrog]

The only Flak Leon seems to get is that he doesn't have a lot of finishes, i've seen people accuse him of being boring but that couldn't be further from the truth, as a die hard fan since UFC 1 i have to say watching Leon fight is so so interesting, he has the ability to grapple, he obviously excels on the feet so prefers to keep the fight there but he isn't scared to go to the ground with much more accomplished grapplers like Usman and Colby, his fight IQ and understanding that it is a game to be played and not a dust up outside the pub is amazing. Everything he does he does with intention. It's fascinating to watch, i can't fathom the speed and decision making processes going through his mind in the moment. Well done Leon. Long may he reign!

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

What Leon said here is so true. In the past 5 years, Colby Covington hasn't evolved one bit. He had some wins over washed up versions of Robbie Lawler & Jorge Masvidal and that gave him a false sense of security. He left ATT and bragged about being in a better gym (MMA masters)😄 Now Colby is calling out 40 year old Wonderboy🤣😂 So happy for Leon🙂
