Masvidal: I got insider information that I’m next for Leon.
Dana White: Colby Covington is next 😂
Makes 0 sense for Masvidal tho Colby beat him 5-0
That insider must have been on the outsiders that day or Jorge is a bum like we all thought he was 😅
Irgendjemand he’s gonna pull out with another “injury” in hopes to fight Leon, just like he did with Leon back before leon had the belt, so that he can hopefully get a shot with Leon now. The shadow realm is just waiting for his arrival
LETS GOOO
listening to dana whites opinion on things afterwards is like an event in itself
Yup😂
So true lmao
Don't shout too loudly. They'll probably make it a ppv.
I love how the media skates around asking questions to Dana
Seriously?
Who wants the Ariel treatment?
They know they’ll get fired like ariel if they ask real questions.
Nope Ariel instigates there is a difference. Ariel doesn't know when to STOP. Am happy we don't have to deal with that.
It’s amazing how some of these bum judges have zero accountability but still have the power to make or destroy someone’s hard earned fight career. 🤬
✔
Dana too, he's got all that power yet isn't a fighter himself and has the power to do the things he does and make the decisions he does. If he really cared about the judges like that he would do something about it
When will you guys understand that the judges are like that so specific fighters could be given close decisions. When people complaint they can sit behind the excuse of judging being bad.
You're describing Dana
They don’t get paid a lot. I’m sure a lot of them really don’t care that much
I’m sure all 7 of Belals fans will be devastated he’s not getting the next shot.
What idiocy. If the fight happens in the Mid East, a title fight for an Arab American, he would easily attract 5 times Colby's mediocre number. Fact is, NONE of the Top 5 is a big draw. Jorge likely is a bigger draw than any of the Top 5, despite his decline.
This, we know for sure: the idiots who keep saying Colby is going to do more business so he should get it --- NOT because he has any win streak, other than beating elderly Jorge ---- would all be screaming like the idiots they are, if Conor cuts in & gets the title fight, after he beats Chandler.
Conor IS THE REAL DRAW; and he is TOTALLY undeserving, too, not unlike MAGA man I & II.
@Kiab Toom Lauj did you even watch the Belal/ Edwards fight? Leon was about two punches away from knocking him out. Allah intervened and gave him an eye poke as a way to avoid losing. No one wants to see that fight replayed. Except you and the other 6.
@Cam Eron so what ? Usman had 1 minute to win the first leon fight then he got koed . U never know what happens in 5 rounds
@3,018,341 views yes we do. It it just happened at ufc 286
Leon started crying more after Dana confirmed Colby fight 😂
Colby is good but not even close to usman 😂😂😂. Colby still dreams about a win vs him and is jealous of edwards 😂😂. Gonna talk shit and lose again
Weird times in the UFC rankings right now, lot of people think they deserve title shots and lot of people don’t deserve it either way the fights are gonna be good!!
Love your profile name....lethwei is badass
Balal sold at least 1 ticket. He deserves it!
Appreciate it🙏 lethwei is brutal lol but for total violence I watch king of the streets(no rules)
@BobShimits Do the Yankees make the World Series automatically because they sell more?
@BobShimits Jeff Neal pieced him foo
Love the long format man💪🏻 gives you time to analyse thoroughly and is really good to listen when travelling offline and so on
Does anybody else think the UFC is trying too hard to push Maycee Barber?!?? She absolutely positively LOST that fight against Angela Lee! The fight should have been a comfortable unanimous decision win for Lee but not if the judges can help it. Maycee also lost to Miranda Maverick in a close split decision but the UFC is just in love with Maycee. Same way O'Malley beat Yan! Popularity.
I'm starting to believe it. Lee won that fight 30-27 and Dana says Barber won that's crazy
Barber won the fight 3-0. Lee didn't do anything besides lie on her
It was a close fight. Maybe I have to watch it again but I think Lee barely won that fight. I scored it 29-28 Lee. One of the judges (as usual) were paid off or was not watching the fights and was playing games on their phone. The Vera 48-47 score was insane.
@misterclownface check the fight stats. Barber out struck lee every single round. And fight criteria takes that over control time
To be fair Andrea really did nothing with top position. Maycee was literally doing more damage from the bottom
Well I’m convinced Colby’s next lol.
Love how Dana said it last week, then EVERYONE tried coming out to say that wasn’t happening. Now here Dana is again saying that’s the next fight.
Chael also put a video saying “we don’t need Leon to have a title fight” and we know how corporate Chael is.
Basically Leon is fighting Colby next. If he says no, looks like they’ll do an interim belt or strip Leon.
Leon already no. Interim belt is great. Everyone wins. it'll piss off Leon, and Colby will have to prove himself
Hit the bell with the logic👍 Fans seem to think they run the company… I’d say Leon gets stripped though. Look what happened with Francis.
@facey Kadthere won’t be an interim. Leon will be stripped and sent to bellator if he doesn’t want to fight Colby
@facey Kad an interim belt won't piss off Leon lol because it's a glorified number one contender fight 🤣
I really hope Leon don't give him the fight so all you Colby fan girls can have a meltdown. Dana can't strip Leon. Division and company will have zero credibility!
Warms my heart the UFC did all they could to get Cerrone's grandma there for his hall of Fame induction & breaks my heart she wasn't well enough to come. His grandma is the coolest & any1 who is a fan of cowboy knows she means the world to him.
I have super glue...fix your heart
Why does the media have no balls to actually call out Dana on why Colby don't deserve the next shot??
If anyone wants to be part of the post conference or even pre conference. They have to ask shitt*e question. If they dont.don't.. they get kick out. Pretty sure about that.
@Trade2Travel because it’s not worth losing ur job over a Colby question
And what would those call outs be exactly?
that, "you're the man leon" from dana sounded so sarcastic, like he only acknowledges it because leon has the belt but he really doesn't think so.
He’s saying grow a pair, you have the big boy belt now. 🍼🍼🍼
You don’t call the shots just because you have the belt lmao you can tell who’s brand new to being a fan of the ufc
@droppinloads 09 you kind of do
@droppinloads 09 your the casual it should be whom deserves it very very recently it's been whom ever sells now gets the shot
@Ehsan Ahmedno you don’t
But the media are ranking Colby high though, just below Usman. I hear what ya'll are saying, there's active fighters like Belal or Shavkat or Burns out there, but if the media really thinks that then drop Colby's ranking? If Colby is ranked so high it's because they think he's good enough to be there and so he does have some claim to the title. Masvidal was also a 2 time title contender and Colby shut him down good, their last fight.
Seems like both challengers are undeserving but it would have been cool to see a conclusion to the Masvidal thing. The way the Belal fight ended sucked but resume/activity suggests he’s probably most deserving. Colby’s last 5 fights are two losses to Kamaru and three wins against aging stars Masvidal, Woodley, and Robbie Lawler
I really respect how this man never learns from his mistakes. They toddled for 3 years about making a UFC Africa card when they had 3 African champs but they dragged their feet so long that now he’s still out here saying how much UFC Africa means to them meanwhile they now have no African champs to bring there.
The same thing is going to happen with this no-brainer UFC Mexico. They’ve got 3 Mexican champs now and his answer to doing a UFC Mexico card is “yeah, we should, no plans, but we should. Wait until you guys see the UFC PI we’re building down there… the renders are great…” 3 years from now when they have zero Mexican champs I’m sure we’ll see a more eager Dana
Cowboy was a serious contender in his day , he def deserves to be in the hof
Dana "I never make matches on Fight Night" White pretty much never gives a straight answer on even the most obvious next matchups so the more I see him double down on Colby "deserving" a title shot when there's 3 or 4 objectively more deserving contenders, the more believable it sounds that they had to bribe him behind the scenes to get him to drop charges against Masvidal

Well the rankings aren't exactly gospel and it's not like you have to be #1 to get the next shot nor is the next shot automatically given to the guy ranked #1. I guess he has never dropped because he never lost to anyone ranked beneath him but he hasn't impressed nor knocked off contenders coming off a win. Belal, Burns, Shavkat, and Khamzat (if he's staying at WW) are all more deserving with more relevant recent wins. I guess if Masvidal surprises us and sparks Burns then that will be a win for Colby that has since aged well but as of now nothing about him getting a title shot makes any sense. It's not even like he sells game-changing PPV since 90% of his entertainment value is outside the cage
Nobody deserves that fight as much as Colby Covington.
Lmao
nice joke
@bLaCk He's right
Lmao that was funny
If Colby gets the next title shot just for doing you a favor and being a back up fighter then Belal should also get a title shot no matter if he wins or loses his next fight because he’s doing you an even bigger favor taking a fight he shouldn’t have to take
Loving the fact that Dana is sticking to Colby!😂💪
Leon vs Jorge way more exciting if he beats Gilbert dorito the stepping stone
Colby vs khamzat
Colby vs jorge 2
Colby vs shavkat
Colby vs belal
Colby vs islam, will always do better numbers than Leon in it...
@Robert Fixescars Only lost to usman and a close one to Khamzat since moving to ww
You're a goofball
@Solice when was the last time Colby finished anyone?
I miss 2009 Dana
When Leon denied to fight his rank was threatened but Colby has been denying Gilbert, Khamzat and list goes on. You cannot tell me Gilbert does not have credibility. What does Colby gets for denying fights and fight mostly the fighters who are in loosing streak. Title shot. We need a new promotion.
He should’ve said “it’s been 9 in a row, he deserves that shot”
When Dana leaves the UFC will never be the same. This guy is always a main event!
maybe than the rankings would actually matter, convington doesnt deserve a title shot
@Jose Leon If Belol deserves a title shot then Chito also deserves a title shot. Lol
@Avijitcry more karen😢
@Shawn Johnson Colby's getting that belt whether you like it or not 😝 🍭 eat this
I’m just picturing Usman, telling Leon “good luck with Covington“ those fights with him obviously affected Usman somehow then that nasty knockout, of course. His knees were probably shot. He did not look like his former self, in that last fight with Leon. The Usman that fought Covington would never have let Leon up from the ground.
Cowboy in the Hall of Fame...in the words of Nat Diaz, "I'M NOT SURPRISED"
Hell of a dude.
Holly's post fight speech needs to go viral.
She's a legend 👏🏻
They’ll be no help from UFC it will be up to the fans to share it buddy but yes someone needed to get that message out on tv suprised they didn’t bleep it like they do for swearing so it doesn’t offend the fairies.
lol
"A million other reasons why Colby deserves that fight" lol😂
So I have no personal issue with Colby getting the next shot, but I think it's unfair of Dana to make out that Leon doesn't want it because he's worried about Colby's fighting style. Leon quietly beat everyone he had to to get his title shot, which was a lot of tough guys over a long period of time. Leon took the long road and received no favours or shortcuts, and so is understandably bitter about opportunities given to guys he personally feels haven't put in the miles that he has to get their shot, especially when the shot is against him.
A personal issue 😂
@Matthew Tufford As in 'personally, I have no issue with it'. Not sure why that's funny.
Cry harder brother
Masvidal lost to Colby. How in the hell is there even a discussion about Masvidal getting title shot before Colby. ? NO WAY
Colby lost both championships fights, how does he get a shot again? If he loses again is Dana going to give him another shot?
@ruben martinez right now Colby deserves this. Dana already said that Belal next fight will be for the nr1 contender spot. Who do you think should fight Leon next? And please dont say Masvidal.
Bruhhh colby lost his last 2 fights against usman come on foo...AND to add it to that 2 losses he been out for a year...why not wait for burns or belal..one of those 2 deserves the title shot..but i do agreed masvidal doesnt deserve a title shot
@ben1987 agree. But Dana is looking it from business side also. Colby vs Leon draws more people. So it is what it is i think. But yeah im sure that Belal or Burns will be fighting for the title later rather than sooner. 😀
Thank you Dana says it people swear they would fight when you get sideswiped from the side like come on Colby gonna get this belt back 😅🙏🏼🙏🏼
As a fight fan, I'd love to see Colby vs Leon but what has Colby done to deserve it apart from his win over Masvidal? Colby has been inactive but clearly Dana has other ideas.
Chito fought like he always does, one punch at a time. Dude needs to string together more punches in combos, dudes lat 3,4 fights have been like that.
Maybe that Sean O’Malley defeat was a fluke…. I’ve never understood the hype around Chito…
I’m starting to think Sean might just beat him in a rematch
I think Dana forgot Leon had to fight Belal then Nate after the layoff for a title shot.
15:07 that was the chance for any journalist unhappy with King Colby getting a title shot but they didn't take It
We're gonna miss pacman when he leaves the UFC ! People take the piss but he is a solid guy. Thanks 👍🏼
yeah, vera was completely dominated. he didn't win a single round, he didn't put out until the LAST 20 seconds haha
Wtf was the judge that scored it for Chito thinking? Split decision was bs! clean win for Sandhagen
he was shook
I give him round 3 but it easily coulda been 50-45
The media can't stop wetting itself over Colby getting the next shot, and Dana's getting a thrill from it. Vera looked like he fell in love with being a "UFC Fighter" and forgot how to be a fighter. Reminded me of Dana's famous "do you want to be a fncking fighter" speech.
People are crazy if they don’t want to see Leon Vs Colby . Belal can get the winner , which I hope Colby wins bc there’s a bit of beef between Colby and Belal
So many contradictory statements from Dana is just as scary as a split decision in the Cory/Vera fight…
Dana got into the nose beers tonight 😂🤘🏻
Any proof ?
The signs are there, the jaw, the constant sniffing, his eyes are locked on whoever he's talking to, he looks stiff, I could be wrong but I'm not judging either way. I just thought it was funny, lol
I don't think that Leon doesn't want to fight Colby I just think that he wants to beat for his ass first he just got such a beef and wants to get Jorge back ,but as far as fighting called me I don't think that's an issue with him, wrestler or not
I think colby is a favourable match up for Leon, I think he should take that fight next and get him out of the way while he's coming off a fairly sizeable lay off. If usman couldn't impose his wrestling game on Leon then colby doesn't have a chance.
Leon didn’t almost fight for like 2 years and he got a shot - Dana White
You can look that up 🤣🤣👍
This is your reminder that this would be Karen "call the cops" Duckington's third title shot in 5 fights after not beating a single person coming off of a win since 2018 . No one in UFC history has had this amount of privilege. Insane.
Also his style is boring af, cardio dry hump to a decision style. Only Usman made him exciting because he neutralized the wrestling.
@Ali Bader boo hoo…Colby hurt my feelings.
Belal is boring. The UFC is a business, if you're boring you don't get the big fights as much. Colby generates emotion, Belal doesn't, that's why
Why would none of those reporters state why Colby shouldn’t get title shot?
Colby doesn't deserve that shot 100% but seeing Edwards says "I'll welcome all comers" in the press and then later trying to duck Colby makes me wanna see how that fight would play out.
Factss bro Leon lowkey a flake. Not surprised tbh
You're going to
Colby gets a title shot. Jorge gets to settle the restaurant attack. Dana gets another TV deal without court BS going on.
@Steven P Nope. There is no such contract in the ufc.
Dana thinks there’s only 4 welterweights 3 title shots in 5 fights is unheard of🤦🏽♂️
Eventhough Colby doesn't deserve the Title shot Leon should realise how big this fight is for his legacy he already beat the former p4p King twice and in the first fight he slept him if he defends his belt against Colby that would be so great and after that he can fight Masvidal and squash his beef
Individual judges need public official scrutiny for constructive purposes. When the judges names are published for an upcoming event, they can be removed/added based on the grading of their performances. the public, fighters, coaches, promoters, managers will have a say on what judge judges bout(s)
Lets be real. Dana is hoping Leon Refuses the fight to make the Fight between Colby and Jorge. They are also hoping Burns meat Jorge. I think Burns will KO Jorge, than it Leon will have to accept the Colby fight, If Jorge beats Burns, The UFC will still stick with Colby for the shot, If Leon still refuses , It will be Colby vs Jorge. So wither way unless Leon keeps being a B*** we have 3 options. Leon vs Colby, Colby vs Jorge, or Colby vs Burns.
Why would ufc do Colby vs masvidal 2? It was 50-45. What a boring fight, we know how it goes
@OceanMud because the casuals will eat the PPV up. They can market that fight better than any other right now because of the issues outside the octagon
50-44 not enough for y'all?
@OceanMud Money bro. It's all about money. Colby vs Mas is the money fight. That is why Dana wont let Leon vs Cobly go. The only way Danas plan foils is if Mas looses against burns.
What is it with MMA Journalists not doing their job?! Why does it take Dana to point out Leon took a longer layoff, poked Belal in the eye, and almost got starched by Unranked Nate Diaz, yet still got a title shot… the bias is really obvious
Leon was on a 9 fight win streak and had fights against khazmat booked but they were cancelled. Maybe you should do some more research before criticizing journalists. You’re no better than them
Leon ducking Colby because he knows it will not be an easy fight.
Yeah he just fought the guy who beat colby twice lol
@Make your lawn Great Again Usman looked like his knees didn't work anymore in the 2-fights with Leon. Sorry, Colby went to war with Usman with prime knees.
@Bolder Boulder excuses .
@Make your lawn Great Again Leon wants Jorge who also lost to Usman twice and got manhandled by Colby
@Christopher Carrigg they have a history he said if Jorge wins or he will fight winner.
No one asked Dana about Rogans statement about Masvidal being a harder fight for GSP than any of his other opponents?
Leon fought unranked Diaz after two year rest got almost finished but still got title shot ND again second fight fight with usman totally got dominated whereas colby on both fights with usman gave the most competitive fight to p2p best fighter ND almost won second fight 😅ND leon says he will not fight colby as even current champ is afraid so you can see why colby deserves 😊
Belal "it makes no sense to fight down in the rankings"
Does he realize Colby would be fighting down in the rankings to fight him?
So relieved Dana could see the judge problem since Chito is a bit of a star… Nothing against Chio but please, the judge that gave it to Chito has be suspended for schooling
chito is so focused on finding a finish that he risks losing a decision, again
Didn’t look like he was able to get comfortable like when he fought Jose Aldo.
Belal is throwing a tantrum right now
He’s always crying and throwing a tantrum somewhere
Nobody cares about Belel
@Brick Flair why not, Colby is trying to take food from his table... I think Belal should be mad on that
As he should
“You answered you own question” -proceeds to double down on colby getting the shot. Lol you cant write this stuff 🤣
Lmao did Dana just take credit for the BMF Title or did I mishear that? Did that honestly just happen?
Dana so disrespectful. Leon JUST won the belt and defended for the 1st time on a 12 fight win streak and Dana here saying "If Kamaru didn't exist Colby is the Champ right now"
He calls the shots 🎉
Colby plays the act pretty well. Being an All American
Acts more American then most of our Congress 😂
Act? Hard for you to understand there are a bunch of All Americans out here? Good lord.
Do you really think that's how all Americans act? Maybe some do. Maybe the poor, uneducated goofballs in our country act that way, but not all of us. The United States of America is a very diverse group of people. Some of us are respectful and God fearing people who enjoy mma and wrestling. We don't buy into the bull that these guys are selling. Not all of us talk trash and smack our wives around. Some of us have respect for our competition and act accordingly. I was just at state wrestling yesterday with my son and I seen a lot of handshakes and even some hugs at the end of some hard-fought matches. I seen a group of thousands stand up during the national anthem and show respect during battle. If you think Americans act like colby, you are sadly mistaken my friend.
you mean Usman ran through colby twice and Jorge twice? I dont think he ran through the division even once
UFC286 took more than 4 times this event with 1000 people more in attendance. I know we saw a title fight but just shows that yet again, we're ripped off in the UK for live sporting events. I guess because we have so few events in the UK, they can milk us good and proper for all we've got whereas they get these types of shows regularly in the USA.
Corey made Chito look like an amateur in that fight. Unreal performance. I honestly think Corey has the game to take on the champ... But I still feel like Corey's ground game needs work to really shut aljo out
Seriously excellent choices for the performance bonuses this weekend
Let's go Colby !!
Holly Holm's message was awesome.
Dana said if Usman did not exist, Colby would be the champ for a million reasons. Yes, we know he Dana LOVES Colby since Colby means millions for the UFC.
Even though I think Gilbert or Belal should get the shot. If Leon and Colby were to fight, I think Leon would immobilize Colby too.
How did people forget about Colby getting jumped lol
That reporter dropped the ball when Dana asked him why Colby doesn’t deserve a shot, and actually gave the man a chance to answer. Him not fighting for a year is at the BOTTOM of the reasons why.
Funny you think you know more then Dana does. If Dana says Colby accepted every fight, then that's likely what happened. Who are your sources? Why would Dana give Colby a chance to be the backup fighter for a title fight if Colby was avoiding fights?
@FKS1994 …what? Bruh, what are you talking about?
Dana said when he come up with the BMF belt. I thought Nate came up with that and talked Dana into it. Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong
Whoever came up with it is a complete clown! Bmf belt is a joke
@SLE 297 Agreed.
Revisionist history
That classic Dana White coke sniff to start off these pressers get me every time ❄️
Dana's right Colby fully deserves the next title shot
The UFC needs to treat Leon the same way they treated Bisping. Let him pick his opponent for the first title defense. According to Chael Sonnen, the UFC let Anderson Silva pick his fights. McGregor also picks his fights. Obviously, Leon isn’t part of that club. Edwards should stand his ground
Colby weighing in as backup must've really paid dividends with the way Dana is defending him after the reporter said that he sat out for 1.5 years. Especially surprising when you consider Colby walked up to Dana's blackjack table while filming him with an Asian escort, lmao.
He did not sat out 1,5 years, he fought Masvidal in march.
Technically, I’m fine with Colby next title shot. If masvidal loses and edwards loses, it sets that fight up for next title shot vs Colby. If masvidal wins and edwards loses it sets up that fight again.
"We have plans for Belal"...keep fighting until you lose. Those are apparently Dana's plans for Belal.
Nobody but Colby haters cares about Belal, and they're only talking about Belal because Colby is getting next title shot.
@doot pooter Don't care for either but one deserves a title shot and the other doesn't.
@Church Joneswho Belal beat?
@Church Jones Leon already beat Belal's ass, sorry. Good luck coping and enjoy Colby vs Leon!
@doot pooter Why do you all always say things like "coping" and "cry more" or stupid bull like that. My life doesn't revolve around this sport, I really don't care that much I promise.
Why is Leon so scared of Colby?
Thinking Colby negotiated with the UFC on a title fight if he dropped charges against Masvidal
I'm glad cowboy is getting put in the hall of fame the only thing he didn't do is win a wec or ufc belt but now he in the hall of fame no better title to win I'm happy for him
Since 2019, Colby hasn't won a fight except against fighters who had a 2-fight losing streak, and almost all of them continued losing after their fight with Colby.
Considering this it's insane giving him 3 title defenses almost back to back.
Keep repeating the same things and crying kid. Wahh wahh wahh
It's good to see you bilal fans cry about colby getting the title shot 😭
Be honest…..what would you rather see. Not who deserves it….it Colby. Now add that Colby lost 18lbs in 4 days and bray Jorge who Leon wants to fight….Colby wins
He beat RDA and 2018 after RDA had won his last fight. Anyone who knows mma knows Colby is good
MMA media is so soft. They spent a week criticizing the colby title fight decision and dana asks why he shouldn’t and there all silent 😂
We know why Colby's getting a title shot. He's dropping assault charges against Masvidal, allowing one of the UFC's most popular fighters to return. This is Dana's reward.
I wasn't also a fan of Dana White but at least he stood up and took responsibility for his mistake which you can't really criticize him for doing so. It really shows he cares about the enterprise he built up and didn't want to drive it into the ground like most CEO's in that same position. would do. But it does kind of drive me crazy when reporters have the opportunity to ask him anything but they just waste time ask PC remedial questions. But i'm not a reporter so i don't want to sound like a cheese dick.
I haven't seen Yana since Cyborg destroyed her and I was wrong to assume she had gotten any better. Yana made Holly look much better than she really is.
Where did Jorge's insider information go oh that's right out the window when Dana says nope Colby's next pal 😂😂😂
No one wants to see Colby the croutch sniffer against a stricker like Leon . So lame . Masvidal makes for a way better stylistic fight
@Arsi1776 Brother I promise you many of us want to see that fight. If you want to watch only striking watch Glory or other kickboxing events. A lot of MMA fans want both striking and grappling to see who's the superior fighting(not striking). If it's all about striking then Edward Scissorhands should fight Wonderboy.
My guess. Leon told Jorge that. Problem is Dana told Colby he was next. Let's see who gets their way.
Dana Pinocchio White always tells the truth, right?
I was super upset by this initially, but after hearing leon in the same breath basically duck colby and call out jorge makes Colby seem 100% worthy of the shot compared to street judas
He's not ducking anyone he's wanted to fight Jorge ever since he got sucker punched by him.... Why wouldn't he want to get paid to beat up someone who sucker punched him?
Belal is honestly the only person that deserves a shot. Only two people willing to fight leon were khamzat and belal. Colbys last two wins were tyrone and jorge. Why does he deserve another title shot
Here's the thing if colby isn't deserving then Leon should run right through him right? He brings entertainment value and is a tough fight for anyone. What is everyone so scared of? If colby is as undeserving as people say he is then Leon should have no problem beating him but I sense most people are just hating.
Ducked khamzat, gilbert, Belal, Etc. if Usman won the title again, hes contemplating moving up to middleweight to fight a top 5’er. Stop it
I see Dana White i click faster than the speed of light
Hehehe love to see it…The last sentence. It’s gonna be Colby next. Fullstop. I guess the whining will continue though for a little while, but you can already feel it’s winding down
There’s not a chance he was making usman Colby 3.
Several times now I have heard Dana say if Usman isn't number 1 then its Colby which is pretty disrespectful. I would love Leon to kick him into another realm to wipe that look off Dana's face. Let's go champ!
It's Colbys time brother. Go for a jog and cool off. Maybe grab a grap soda while you're out and relax.
Wait you don't know if valentina gets a instant rematch that's insanity smh
