UFC 296 Recap with Jon Anik & Kenny Florian + Ray Longo on Edwards v. Covington & Awards - A&F.455

Longo roasting Colby was incredible

[@Xivinux]

Ahhhhh it was so good👌

[@aryamanmani4025]

Colby spoke about Usman's kids, his late trainer and his ex-convict father, he brought Masvidal's familial conflict into the public eye (albeit neither were as dark as what he said to Leon) he still crossed a line. I feel the difference between the two and Leon is that they are willing to cut a promo and partake in the trashtalk (they wanted to sell PPVs), Leon just fights, carries himself as a true martial artist and does so hoping his truly elite skillset speaks for itself and makes him money.

[@haldir3120]

What he did to Masvidal's family is even worse since they are actually impacted by it. For me that is way worse

[@WKk-qt2eg]

He only said that he is a shitty father dont make it as a big thing if he was right.

[@megamanxhunter]

Don´t forget the time he got escorted out the arena in Brazil after calling Brazilians filthy animals, he got lucky security was there for him. And he got lucky Fabricio Werdum only hit him with the boomerang. And he also threatened Jon Anik earlier this year.

[@rikki6]

Leon isn't as mild mannered as you all think. 3 piece and a soda.

[@DevinMcSalty]

I’ve been sayin for YEARS that Colby is the most overrated bum in the ufc… guess now y’all finally see it😂

[@Sphynxxx719]

Literally same

[@Viking4real]

You might not like him and he hasn't fought in years either so i don't see what that has to do with anything, but YEARS ago, when he was fighting, he was a very good fighter and had great performances in his fights, you can't say that he didnt have that. He had some great performances against Lawler, RDA, Maia, Usman the first fight and the fight against Jorge. He is not the person he was back then, time changes us all.

[@tmnumber1]

​@@Viking4realYes. He is really good at smashing guys past their prime. RDA was a good win tbf.

[@iceman463864]

​@@Viking4real you are creating a false narrative. You're bringing up performances against a bunch of fighters who were 1. all over 35 and YEARS out of their prime 2. Easiest style match ups 3. had all been beaten several times, most of them several losses in a row prior to fighting colby 4. He ducked every single actual contender. Look at the killers usman/leon/ burns/etc faced and look at colby resume. He has the worst resume of any title shot challenger in the sport. He was never good, he was just good at ducking anybody who was a legitimate threat to any top 10 welterweight until it was title shot time and we saw what happened. His whole reputation was based on wars with Usman, who is also a good style match up that negates Colbys biggest weaknesses and he still got his jaw broke. Give it up the guy was a bum and it was all a media narrative pushed because of the usman fights. He would have been exposed several times but has gone missing every single time he was offered a legitimate challenge from the UFC...literally gone missing UFC couldnt get a hold of him while setting up these fights.

[@louiematarazzo]

For real people judging him on 2 losses! Crazy. Never beat a guy in their prime coming off a win. Proved it by calling out wonderboy

[@dixieechann]

everyone is discussing what crossed the line and what didn't but the disturbing thing is that over the years, WE as the MMA community, pundits, fighters, fans, have become conditioned to this kind of gutter garbage talk--it's become so normalised that we have to even discuss among ourselves whether it is ok or not. Can you imagine what will happen if Colby had won? We would be like, "ok, winning is all that matters, it is just business etc". And what it is going to do is to generate another wave of morally bankrupt dumbbells that support the Colby types

[@monkpato]

Yeah, what happened to the respect of the warrior ethic?

[@skyrider4789]

[@jackblack6844]

Ok...I'll listen to kenny...I learned something tonight...I was surprised Colby did not rush....but I'll listen to a man who knows about fighting way more than I do

[@EmersoWaldo]

Taking about 'small decisions making all the difference', what would have happened if Tony Ferguson had not fought Justin on a two week notice, in the middle of the pandemic, after making weight two weeks ago.

[@Hardcore-0070]

Tony sabotaged himself for cutting weight that close together. Pride got the best of him. He should of never fought Justin that night. Justin took some of his fight game that night and put doubt in tony mind. From that point it changed tonys state of mind that he couldn't get back.

[@Dracus]

Just want to say, thank you guys for your opinion on what Colby said. I don’t agree with what he said. It’s over the the line. But that’s what he does. That’s his character. I don’t say that to justify what he said. But like Kenny said I’m not surprised. Idk why anyone would be surprised. His ability to get people to engage emotionally is crazy

Kenflo, you nailed it!

Ken u can give credit to Leon while also recognising that wasn't the best version of Colby we saw on Sat night & that isn't to say Leon wouldn't have still beat whichever version.

@@jaseallenson316 “100%” -Leon Edwards Colby’s shot at Leon’s dad was desperation. He wanted so bad for Leon to fold on fight night just like Colby ended up doing. He might be a bit of a mush mouth on the mic but my guy Leon is mentally locked in and has a great support system. Colby lacks both.

[@jagermeisterjager7794]

I would pay good money to have the honor of Longo cursing me out.

[@lakesification]

Leons father was murdered when he was a child. Jon might feel different about Colby mentioning his kids if one of them was murdered. Just saying.

If Ray Longo is coach of the year, then Aljo is most improved fighter of the year ☠️☠️☠️

[@Hellkite-er5pg]

I'm so so happy that we as MMA fans no longer have to deal with Colby as a title contender. Unless Daddy Trump-Butt-Kisser Dana give Colby a forth title shot. After all, Colby does have "Dana White privilege".

[@goldentrophy7858]

Those two situations are not analogous at all. I'm pretty surprised since Anik seems to be a pretty bright individual. 1. The Leon incident occurred during a highly publicized press conference while most people don't even know Colby said that about Anik. 2. Leon's father is already deceased whereas Anik is not. 3. I have yet to see(correct me if I'm wrong) UFC promotional outrage for either occurrence if that Anik quote is actually what he said regarding UFC promotional outrage.

It was incredibly unfair and uncalled for. It damages Leon’s star power when millions of fans hear something like that. Leon shut Colby down like nobody has ever been able to do before, and Joe didn’t let him receive his due credit. Foul from Joe.

[@Thijszz]

I remember the push back from what Colby said about Jon's kids, but Jon made up with Colby thats why that died quick. Kamaru acted like he didnt hear Colby's comments but the difference here is that Leon stood up against it& never made up with Colby after he said that shit!

I have always said that the ufc is responsible for these fighters crossing the line. It always enable and reward those act as Coby

[@iceman463864]

Colby 1. Gets his lines written by chael and his team this is a confirmed fact. 2. He pressed charges on someone who gave him a place to live after saying it was on sight. 3. The ufc couldn’t reach him for almost a year when they were trying to set up khazmat fight. He ducks more fighters than anyone in the sport. Calling out wonderboy just shows this guy knows he’s not good. Words are words actions show the man. 4. Every single teammate/ long term acquaintance has said he is a rotten person. People kept using his act as an excuse but I was telling people act aside this guy is the biggest most pathetic coward in ufc history and a terrible person act aside, glad the world see it now.

[@Bulldog2108]

MVP vs Wonderboy PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@jordansosa6797]

That was terrifying KO

[@drewdrewson1384]

How could you possibly play into the wonderboy match up for Colby??? Probably the most pathetic callout in the history of the ufc. And then to suggest he thinks shavkat is below him but a callout of a 41 year old off a loss is even remotely rewarding for anyone. But let’s be real. With Colby losing we thankfully don’t live in a timeline where Colby would have done dead Palestinian comments for his next fight. Props to Ray for not sugar coating it.

[@Scoobay]

I think Wonderboy can beat him if it happens within the next 6 months.

[@drewdrewson1384]

problem is colby fights once a year. I think he's done in the ufc
