RE: Leon Edwards makes strong case for why he will defeat Colby Covington at UFC 296
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Leon's win over Kamaru was indeed a shock to me, it did look like a lucky leg shot he got after being absolutely dominated in previous rounds by Kamaru, so going into the rematch I for one had Kamaru to come out victorious, but Leon's performance was very impressive, he certainly shut me up, it turns out he is indeed a very skilful fighter.
Covington on the other hand has had his fair shot of the title but was beaten twice by Kamaru, the fact that his getting another shot at the title is truly a gift because I don't really think he deserves that shot. He is a good fighter, despite his loss to Kamaru he did show a lot of heart in the octagon throwing punches and standing his ground, so I don't think it's going to be an easy fight for Leon Edward, but it'll be an exciting one for the viewers.
A lot of good points there. I agree with almost all of what you said there and it was the same with me as far as Edwards is concerned... I didn't give him a shot in hell against Usman, neither did the bookies. Upon the rematch I thought Usman was going to quickly dispatch Edwards and expose him for the fluke champion that I and almost everyone else presumed he was. Wow did he ever prove all of us wrong !
