[@cambodianbreastmilk2980]

Colby didn't want to fight Leon when Leon was looking for competitive fights and the UFC pretty much froze Leon out of the division and forced him to take the khamzat fight, when they could have forced Colby or masvidal to take the Edwards fight. Now Edwards is champion it's like the UFC is still doing him dirty. Usman got to fight Colby twice and masvidal twice and I'd imagine if Edwards lost to Usman in the 2nd of 3rd fight he wouldn't be getting a title shot any time soon.

[@NANINANI-cs6rn]

[@suttonx3152]

Not hating on him BC I am from the UK myself but I can see why Dana wants the belt off him asap Leon doesn't have the qualities to be a marquee UFC name for the next few years unlike champs in the past (GSP, Khabib etc) he doesn't bring that excitement factor to the casual audience like they do, he only got the reaction he did this event BC it was a home pop Everyone knows Dana also prefers someone who is entertaining to listen too and will sell fights like Colby or McGregor, Leon isn't that guy unfortunately

Your a ufc fighter you will fight who ever the organisation puts in front of you just cause your the champ does not mean you get to hand pick fights to remain champion for longer , and you won’t see usman again after stating he was the hardest fight what you gonna do when he works his way back to second in division and it’s usman so the people behind him he will probably beat colby masvidal ect , so I imagine he will see usman in 2024 , the fight was really close but from my prospective I felt there was a lot of cheating going on from Leon to disrupt us man’s game plan , just putting it out there am not a usman fan just a fan of the sport i fact I don’t like usman feel he got done dirty there .

[@samizaza9569]

Mate Leon was the better fighter on the night that’s it

[@seboge]

you mean usman who forces stoppages with fake low blows & eye pokes? hes the one trying to milk a reset

[@jhunt5578]

Yet Colby has gotten to refuse to fight Khamzat and Belal. And Usman got to choose to fight that bum Masvidal a second time after wiping the floor with him. Leon's not asking for an easy fight, he's asking for a deserving opponent. Colby hasn't beaten any current top 10, and hasn't fought for like a year and half.

[@worldsforliving]

Leon doesn't want Colby, obvious.

[@raymondgeelen6750]

Colby doesn’t deserve to fight for the title 🤷‍♂️

[@zooknutt]

Please no! Not another journeyman fight

[@thenotoriousetha3894]

Edwards does not want to fight the same type of heavy wrestling guys back to back.

[@bendover7841]

Belal or Burns

[@dashingkevs3295]

Leon was like I wish I got a warning before point deduction. You are the champion of the world and doesn't know he shouldn't grab the cage. Thats intentional cheating

[@darkclaw1462]

Usmans done the same.

[@leop849]

The thing is Colby is number 2 best ranked. That's enough earn title shots while still up there, until someone really beats him out of that position. Fighters need to stop acting like they are doing each other favor. Leon needs to fight Colby and he knows that boy is bringing a whole striking arsenal

[@aqib8575]

Edwards vs masvidal

[@AFCTV204]

Nooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@aqib8575]

It's gonna happen 😃

[@Stephens1995]

Gilbert Burns is going to beat Jorge and that’s who Leon should fight I been watching this a long time and it makes the most sense

[@nascobar9838]

To survive to Usman your a real g. Well played man. It was his job to get that belt and Usman failed.

[@gabrielaraujo6286]

He should fight shavkat or gilbert burns

[@Sam-yd6]

There is no way Colby deserves a title shot whatsoever

[@skd7674]

So he’ll fight Masvidal but not Colby? And as for sitting out, didnt Leon sit out for over a year waiting for usman after the Nate fight? I agree Belal likely deserves the next crack but if the ufc wants Colby next because it will bring more attention to the event then it kind of just is what it is, its a business whether it’s fair or not.

[@vanguardprime4636]

Leon was on a 9 fight win streak. Colby is coming off of 1 win over Journeyman Jorge.

[@MrL3igh]

He's got beef with masvidal that's why

[@dorianwright3649]

Leon is the champ but he doesn't have that weight yet, he is a new champ and will just have to take on whoever is put in front of him.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

Yeah I think you have to defend the belt at least twice to start having more leverage on deciding who to fight

[@frosty6297]

Not like he just beat the once P4P king twice.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Yeah I've always liked the saying "heavy is the head that wears the crown" as it carries alot of weight.

[@karaMcg721]

Luckily Leon makes the call. keep crying🤣

[@lucien4980]

​@@karaMcg721 no, he doesn't.

[@mestizo3113]

You fight who Dana thinks is going to bring in more money, Leon. Its stupid for these fighters to not understand that by now.

[@Project.X7]

Welterweight rankings suggest khamzat in 3rd should be next challenger not colby in 5th

[@kobeguerrier1306]

I agree with Leon,Colby next😢hell noooooooo

[@dave93x]

2:54 that's the typea talk that Dana REALLY holds against you. Also, it's fine to question whether or not Colby deserves a shot straight away, but you can't then tee up Masvidal or Burns for the next shot. Masvidal is a few fights away at least and Burns maybe 2. Come on.
