People call Leon boring why cause he ain’t screaming his face off like a loudmouth he deserves his opportunity give the man his credit he’s a good fighter he ain’t no pushover he gonna put up a better than masvidal for sure who was overhyped cause he ran off his mouth
He is boring because he can barely speak, what he does say has no depth, and he can't put up any art. It isn't just yelling or trash talk. There should be some preparation though and some clarity. I think Usman kind of sucked, but at least he was clear and had prepared.
Wow man look at how Usman has grown, he's way more confident on the mic these days and he's flowing nicely.... Unlike my boy Izzy dropping Elsa bars 🤣🤣... it's certainly challenging being a Izzy fan
Izzy is way better on the mic than Usman. Usman studies Conor and Chael to learn how to talk. Izzy speaks in his own way and it works. Izzy is one of the biggest draws in the UFC.
For everyone asking why this conference is happening now I think it’s because this fight is not gonna bring a lot of eyes so there trying to hype it up as much as possible
Nah Edwards will do everything to make it a standup but don't be surprised if he submits Usman. Usman equally has a chance of submitting Edwards I see Edwards giving Usman a lot of trouble because he's the fastest opponent Usman has had.
bro I’m even Leon fan Frm uk But truss kamaru is different he’ll prbs just drop him with a stiff jab he’s gotten so much better I just hope the fame hasn’t got to usman he needs to stay focused remember where he came from best luck to both men🇬🇧🇬🇧🥊🇺🇸🇳🇬🇯🇲I got Usman 2-3rd
@@noahnoah5681 you fell in love with Usmans striking, remember he's still a wrestler except he has huge power and know how to land the occasional power shot but when it lands it does good damage, especially on an exhausted opponent.
It was Usman's honestly pretty good at talkin shit now. He had some nasty digs at Masvidal leading up to their second fight and now here too against Edwards.
Leon has definitely improved as a fighter but I’m more impressed how far his personality has come. He still may not be the best speaker in the world but he come a long way and comes across as a likeable genuine guy these days.
Usman is honestly good at talking shit now. He big brothered Leon here pretty damn good and he has good digs against a lotta guys he fights, like when at the Masvidal 2 press conference he talked shit about Masvidal's record and in this against Leon he kept saying how he made Leon better by beating him. 😂
He was always good at trash talking. Remember when he destroyed Ben Askren “Young man, I know you’re excited to be up here with your favorite fighters, maybe we’ll sign something for you”😂
Leon Edwards is an extremely good fighter. But Usman has been through so many wars. Ive had some of the same injuries and surgery's as him and I can't believe he still performs as good as he does. He really is something special.
@@evansasiedu7383 well Leon goin to get his shot at usman and I'm naturally going to back my fellow countryman. Leon I think is going to struggle with usman pure strength but honestly anything can happen in this game I hope they both stay safe and Leon wins, I can not fkn wait honestly.
I don’t think Usman stands a chance at 205, but the idea of him skipping 185 is awesome & I’d love to see it if he beats Leon or if he even beats whoever is after Leon
Saying, at 35 with multiple knee and hand surgeries... that Usman's been thining about going to 205 from 170.... should tell you some thing: he (like Dustin, who talks about going to fight Colby at 170).... is about to retire and is just talking nonsense. He's too small, even for 90% of the 185 guys. Guys like Costa, Vettori, Whittaker, Cannonier... they'd just pummel him silly. He doesn't want to fight Izzy, fine. But all the other Top 5 at 185 will just pummel him silly, as they are naturally bigger, most are taller, stronger, and as well rounded as he is. Anyway, given his compromised knees and hands, with him slowing down so much the last 2-3 years, he is not going to get past peaking 30 year-old 6'2" Leon. About 7 years ago, with Leon being a journeyman and with Usman starting to peak at 28, without any knee issues..... age, skills, & physicality... they all gave Usman advantage. Today, 7 years later, almost every thing has reversed....
Usman honestly has grown on me as a person. I always respected him as a fighter but he would make me physically cringe on the microphone. Now I actually look forward to his press events.
I wanna see Leon win but damn I kinda agree with you. Depends on if he'd have a lot of good fights as champion, he could gain a lotta respect with dominant performances like how Oliveira has been doing lately down at 155, everyone likes or at least respects him now I know I for damn sure do he's scary.
Edwards vs Masvidal would definitely bring in some buys because of the beef and of course Masvidal's clout. But yeah, you are not wrong outside of that. Maybe a Colby vs Edwards just because Colby acts so controversial and could possibly bait Edwards to act out of character.
It’s not his fault though, fights kept getting canceled, and a pesky pandemic. I think Khamzat is next, if not there’s something wrong with Khamzat physically or Usmans a scared bitch! Leon can KO Usman, but he won’t jump on injured opponents. If Colby can wobble you with pillow hands, anyone can KO you then.
Bro they kept him under the whole time and never gave him a shot for a long while after the 1st usman fight he was getting treated unfairly there for a lil while actually and he does deserve this shit wether he’s gonna lose or not
Usman could definitely dominate Middleweight but he don't want that Light Heavyweight smoke, especially right now! 😂😂 Jiri is gonna come back in his next fight 10 times better I promise you, he's the future of mma. 💯🔥
The wins are relevant with Anderson but it's the level.of the competition when he fought...usmans fought good competition but Anderson has fought great fighters and legends of the sport in their prime.
For some reason I believe Leon when he said Masvidal would've been dead if they found him. It's always those Cat's with thick accents and high squeaky voices that you have to watch out for. I love how Usman admitted being nervous.
It's undeniable... 2nd greatest Welterweight so far... Just wish he got his title shot earlier like GSP did... But most of the top contenders was avoiding Usman like the plague..
They are fighters, I dont think trash talking suits them all. They get paid to fight and win, not chat shit.if they are good at chatting shit it’s a bonus
@@dd185 Good point - Usman is probably the most dominant champ I have witnessed since I started watching UFC around 2016. He is special and I hope he wins this one.
