Absolutely amazing from Leon. Really inspirational to see somebody handle a bully the way he did, not allowing the darkness and noise get to him but instead rising above and calmly dealing with it in a controlled way. Big love Leon
I wasn't nervous as soon as I seen Colby on his back foot from the first round , I thought this guy looks washed up , slow and really out of time and range.
@@BruceWayne18529 I still felt he was dangerous. I didn't like the fact that Leon was engaging in the grappling either, as he could have dismantled him on the feet.
Leon taking wrestlers down is insanely impressive. If Leon starts using his wrestling more, he will be the next GSP. He can win a fight anyway he wants. Hope to see more of this well rounded Rocky.
I take nothing away from Leon he's a good fighter and very nice striking ... but Colbys wrestling absolutely sucked even Leon was making a lot of mistakes in the wrestling but still getting the better of Colby
Leon will get smashed against Shavkat 1st round. Leon barely held off COlby who was on the sidelines for 2 years. And the fight ended with Leon on his back playing it safe, no real champion. LOL
Leon showed true grit checking his emotions. Great champions in the past have fell trap into the trash talk. Leon managed to overcome the filth and come out on top!

When I first saw her on UFC events I admit I thought they just added her for eye candy, but she always asks knowledgeable intelligent questions. Fantastic interviewer
Mma fans and even analysts need to stop overhyping fighters as goats or some of the best ever after only a few impressive wins. Recency bias is stronger in this sport than any other
Leon is such a humble bloke and to be able to keep such control with everything that Colby said shows how classy he is as well. Doesn’t make excuses for his past and shows how much people can change their lives.
After coby said that about leons pops ,Masvidal could've hopped like a magician from behind the curtains and knocked Colby teeth out again on live TV and got a standing ovation😂😂😂
The only person that I think would be a danger to Leon’s title is shavkat.. Anyone else in the welterweight division gets handled by Leon IMO.. What a time for the UK👌🏻
Leon controlled the whole fight. Clipped him hard in the first exchanges and made Colby scared to go forwards. There was nothing to do Colby being off, just Leon being too big, fast and precise 😊
I've never been more delighted for a fighters win I just wish he would have been able to get the KO that would have been so great but a win is a win. Congratulations Leon well played my friend!!
Like he said. Most welterweights have that boxing wrestling style and hes mastered the offense and defence for it. The only person i see causing leon problems is shavkat and maybe maddalena with his weird style
Great performance from Leon, just wished he stayed on his feet the last round and give himself a better chance to knock him him out, but I get he wanted to show Colby he too can wrestle and operate on the ground, he bullied the bully good on him, held himself in true class in and out of the cafe.. A true champ and role model

People just love to hate on any British fighter. He fought a great fight, great game plan, wasn’t the most entertaining fight but it also wasn’t boring. He dominated on the feet and he dominated on the ground
Dominated? Dominated what? Lol landing a few hard leg kicks, aside from that he got ours truck 82-63, got taken down multiple times, lost the control game 6 mins to 1, arguably Colby won rounds 3,4, and 5….Colby made him cry lol. So please does anyone have a legitimate explanation of how Edwards supposedly “dominated” the fight? Lol Colby was off his game and still Edwards couldn’t really do anything aside from some leg kicks
Credit to Leon. Brilliant guy and good champion. The fight itself was very forgettable though. I feel like Leon is far too risk averse to ever be memorable. Other than the obvious head kick, he has no big moments. He needs to evolve and start taking some risk and finishing guys when he's on top, like Usman started to do after moving to Trevor Whittman.
That was a horrible performance and then letting Colby sit on him for the last 2mins look bad. It’s doesn’t matter Shavkat is coming and that dude comes to finish not to point fight.
utter class performance by Leon! At such a fitting time where the government are trying to close borders and blame people immigrating to the UK for their failings, Leon steps up and shows what it means to be British! Couldn't be more proud to call him my countryman and hope this really opens peoples eyes not to be like Colby full of hate and protectionism and insecurity and to be more like Leon, cool, calm, secure and a testimony to globalisation.
I thought leon would be chmmp years ago and people laughed. His only rea challenge is shavkat and if he gets it donethere he'll be champ for years to come
Sorry to say Shavkat submits him Leon needs to avoid Shavkat for the next 2 fights and make it 15 fights Win Streak and become th greatest Welterweight Ever
After watching the fighters at press briefing where CC was mouthing off & then watching the fight, I started thinking has a massive wager been put on CC to lose the fight.
Nick Peet still can't believe he's managed to get this job given how awful is analysis is. Catterall definitely does not get the props he deserves from the American market unfortunately.
Colby sold his career out for a poorly constructed character. He's got a long way to get back to a title shot and he isn't getting there by beating Wonderboy, let's be honest. More than likely he'll go down as the almost man who could never get it done when it mattered.
Exactly! Horrible performance from both guys. I had to sit up because I was falling asleep. Need Shavkat to become champ. That dude is a finisher not a point fighter.
@@michaelblue3951 Conor schooled the mute Khabib in the business of fighting . Conor made rich and a star .. and now khabib has passed the business of $$& to upcoming fighters
He beat him every area of the fight, striking, wrestling pressure, he had nothing he was running scared cos he was afraid to be a meme like Usman infront of Trump, he's finished
He’s the champ he doesn’t need to be anything but cautious, it’s the challenger who is trying to win the belt the champ already has it. Blame Colby for not bringing it lmao. As someone else said Leon won 49-46 which at a championship level is domination
