fukk Dana White.

"cant make weight :mjpls:"
The extreme weight cuts he did are unhealthy and over a longer period will have a negative effect on him.

What is said is that he got “weaker” (easy to knockout) because of the extreme fast weight cut.

"I can fight Izzy whenever I want. :mjgrin:"
I don’t it’s that easy as he thinks. He doesn’t have that resume. He’s no legend.

The City Kickboxing school announced that they are moving on to the next challenger. A different fighter.

What City Kickboxing said is irrelevant. If he wants it, the UFC will make it happen.

His resume is he beat dude three times but when it comes to the UFC, the PPV is always in the equation.

Otherwise Colby wouldn't be fighting Leon, it would have been Belal or Burns. All they care about is how much money they can make.

Trilogy matchups always make bank.

They can’t force people to fight other opponents. They came suggest that, but forcing? The result probably will that one will lose his title.

The UFC probability will negotiate a deal.

Kickboxing was in different federations. And 1 is a suspicious win, that was favored in Alex place. Most people acknowledge that.

Ok, so they can force Leon Adwards to fight Colby, when Leon said no?

I have not heard of anything definitive. Last thing I heard was he doesn’t want to fight him.

Of course this is somewhat different, because Colby is ranked 3th place.

I never said "force".
I'm saying if the UFC (Dana and co) want that fight to happen they will. Through the almighty power of money.

Suspicious or not, a win is a win.

Leon doesn't want to fight him because he hasn't earned it. Colby hasn't fought anybody in a year and before that, his resume was mediocre at best.

Belal is on a win streak which I believe deserves attention and a title shot.

Why is Dana pushing it? PPV sales.

I do think money is more a deciding factor.

I remember many heavy weights didn’t want to fight Francis.

I do think as a title defender you can’t make excuses and you need to fight every opponent.

True, but kickboxing is still a different sport.

Alex only had to defend his UFC title ones, and he lost it immediately. He was not even battle tested against other top-5 fighters with a wrestling background. Izzy did. I wonder what he’s going to do at 205, his natural class.



Leon doesn't want to fight him because he hasn't earned it. Colby hasn't fought anybody in a year and before that, his resume was mediocre at best.
I think Leon is a bit afraid. Colby was the only one for a while who could go up again Usman.

Has Leon spoken out any preferences he wants first?


Belal is on a win streak which I believe deserves attention and a title shot.
He’s rankt 5th place. I think he should fight Colby and Usman first, before he gets the title shot.

Why is Dana pushing it? PPV sales.
The most exciting fights and controversial fight will make the best sales.

I don’t see Belal making a bank for the UFC.

You said he was lucky to KO him, he was compromised and went for it, how does him saying he went southpaw and played possum line up with what you said. You've always been a weirdo.
Guess that's just my interpretation. Holla

He was lucky. He wasnt winning and his leg was getting fukked up. What fight did you watch. His leg buckled.


Tryin to hurt my feelings to. Pitiful

Rolling with your opponent's signature finishing blow(left hook) and then lining him up with a quick left jab and an overhand right, while looking at him the entire time, is not luck. I be forgetting alot of MMA fans don't watch boxing/kickboxing so understanding what they're watching is foreign to them. If you're offended by being called a weirdo then stop acting like a weirdo ass nikka, it's that simple.

Relax.

You tryna kick knowledge? Foh.
Luck in the Alex thought he had to kill

And like he said he was playing possum because his leg was f***** up. There wasnt a moment in that fight where he dominated
