Coach wasn’t kidding about Leon’s left high kick. That thing is not only deadly but too damn fast to see coming half the time. Wish he would use it more.
trust me when i tell you leon knows how deadly his left high kick is your mistaken thinking he has the option to "use it more" leon would pay for it if he threw it too often in my opinion that's what actually makes it so beautiful
The timing has too be perfect for Leon too throw that shot, it has too be set up earlier in the round usually too, don’t sleep on the rest of his striking though
Leon is getting near a prime Izzy lvl of Muay Thai It isn’t just his high kick His body kicks sound like a damn 22 And he probably has some of the best elbows in the ufc next to kattar and Ferguson He does a little fake hook set up sometimes and just lines people with elbows
@@googlegmail9888 which is how you create that perfect timing, by using the same combination on a person you create an opening when you fake that same combination leading too the perfect timing for a different strike, they’re leaning in thinking they’ve got you, you catch their chin or their temple and it’s night night.
Just imagine you’re just a training partner at AKA on that day. And you’re watching the cage and you’re unaware that the future lightweight champ and the future welterweight champ are sparring each other😂 Crazy how life works😂
Champions are instantly entitled to title shots. Islam beats either Justin or Charles next then annihilates Leon and makes him look basic to become double champ.
Leon smokes him. Bigger taller longer heavier smarter. All islam has on him is wrestling, and even then idrk cause Leon's improved so much. He'll freeze Islam's pressure the same way he did Colby and usman in the second
Not in the sense that we use it but technically it would be sparring. I suppose sparring is synonymous with striking that’s all but you’re correct:) I suppose in Jiu Jitsu it’s also sparring but they call it rolling….

@@willingcube5713in addition, Colby broke his foot in the first 30 seconds which obviously compromised him from wrestling. Either way Islam losses easily to any of the Top 5 welterweights.
He needs to get a chance to see if he can win at welterweight if would be a massive fight in Abu Dhabi. He gave 2 chances for Volk to be champ champ, I hope he gets the chance.

Dagestani style of fighting is such a boring spectacle 🥱 and sure, all the armchair fight fanatics will say I just don’t understand the art or whatever but I stand by my opinion, mma is often shite to watch these days cos all they do is roll around like pricks 😂
This is why Leon is the best fighter to come out of England. We are so limited in the training we can get especially in wrestling. You’re never gonna be the best unless you train with the best and improve your weaknesses. All Leon has done is work and hes fortunate to have an amazing team who welcome other trainers to get the absolute best out of Leon.
Imagine if the British had the same training and wrestling training as the Americans and Russians. The British already do well even though nobody in UK even knows what wrestling is. It’s not even taught in schools or anything
@@FriendlyHomie I'm 26 from UK never knew we used to have wrestling. My school used to have a boxing club back in the day, think someone from Monty Python was champion actually but that just shows how long ago it was. Both would be good to bring back imo
I'd say Aspinal is the best fighter to come out if England. He started training bjj when he was 7 then started wrestling and striking a few years later. He's way more well rounded than Edwards.
You lot are forgetting Michael Bisping, neither Leon nor Aspinall are at his level as best to come out of England. Bisping fought killers and didn’t lose much. And won the belt with one eye whilst still fighting killers before that championship fight.
Look- normally I am totally against guys instantly having double champ bouts; a guy should clear their division before doing a super fight. But I do feel like 300 needs a super fight. And considering Islam did the deed for Volk twice, I kind of feel like he should be given a chance to snag two belts.

Both of these guys have improved so much that it becomes one of the most exciting fights you could book. Leons striking was always good and his wrestling has gotten elite. Islams wrestling was always good but his striking has become deadly. If theres a superfight at 300, i hope its this.

He presumed colbys an easier fight for him than edwards and was right. Islam is better than colby in everything whereas he has a striking deficit vs edwards
I don’t know why these guys come to MMA when all they wanna do is wrestle and grapple , stay over there this is mix mixed martial arts if you sparring that means you there to make mistakes so you don’t make mistakes in the real cage if you don’t test yourself out by wanting to strike with a. Good striker then you might get outstriked in a real fight bekuz you didn’t train for striking methods idk just my opinion
I’m not a huge Islam fan he’s only beat 2 top 10 lightweights I feel he’s overhyped, seems to me his standup is better than his grappling cause he hasn’t manhandled any elite fighters, so I don’t see him on out striking Edwards. But I’ve been wrong before should be fun to watch.
Seems obvious but nobody hitting the issue on the head.Dana is catering to the instagram crowd. That crowd will never care about the best match. Its all about the instant laughs and catchphrases
See Leon is such an easy match up Islam. Islam would be able to take him down and then submit him easily. The only way to beat Islam is to come out with all guns blazing and hope to connect and knock him out.
There is a reason they majority do Wrestling cause if you a good wrestler you can destroy any boxer or striker way more effective using less energy and more certainty of outcome that’s big in a street fight lol when they say most fights end up wrestling around anyway cause they are shit at striking some big dude you can’t knock out easy either man they just keep coming at you it’s terrifying lol happen to me a couple times so that’s why I need to learn grappling or juijitsu man and a few cycles I’ll be good 😂
Leon probably goes soft considering as a pro and his facing new guy, same with islam since they were just sparring with to against diff. weight division

He came to american kickboxing academy to improve wrestling
I don’t know why these guys come to MMA when all they wanna do is wrestle and grapple , stay over there this is mix mixed martial arts if you sparring that means you there to make mistakes so you don’t make mistakes in the real cage if you don’t test yourself out by wanting to strike with a. Good striker then you might get outstriked in a real fight bekuz you didn’t train for striking methods idk just my opinion
170 Islam will take Leon down and smash him. his strength at 170 will be difficult for anyone.
Repent and Believe in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be save🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🕊️☝️✝️🙏
This guy and whoever Liam is who he is talking about won’t go anywhere in the uFc
Wrestling and jui jitsu is the most boring shit to watch
I’m not a fan of hugging on the ground but grappling can be fun otherwise I would just watch kick-boxing and Muay Thai maybe that’s more for you
Cry more
I'm getting really sick of all these videos playing that soft af version of sweet dreams in the background.
Shit music. Real original of you.
I’m not a huge Islam fan he’s only beat 2 top 10 lightweights I feel he’s overhyped, seems to me his standup is better than his grappling cause he hasn’t manhandled any elite fighters, so I don’t see him on out striking Edwards. But I’ve been wrong before should be fun to watch.
Sho the video this guy and Russian bias propaganda lol
I just feel robbed khabib was something more
Islam, khamzat and shavkat will definitely beat leon
Tell me how Islam doesn’t respect him though 🙄
Seems obvious but nobody hitting the issue on the head.Dana is catering to the instagram crowd. That crowd will never care about the best match. Its all about the instant laughs and catchphrases
8 years ago for 3/4 weeks Leon went there, for his very first usman fight. Damn that’s a while ago
Few years aho Islam had a chance. Nowdays there is no way. Leon is able to defend his takedowns. Strinking wo don’t even need to talk about
See Leon is such an easy match up Islam.
Islam would be able to take him down and then submit him easily. The only way to beat Islam is to come out with all guns blazing and hope to connect and knock him out.
There is a reason they majority do Wrestling cause if you a good wrestler you can destroy any boxer or striker way more effective using less energy and more certainty of outcome that’s big in a street fight lol when they say most fights end up wrestling around anyway cause they are shit at striking some big dude you can’t knock out easy either man they just keep coming at you it’s terrifying lol happen to me a couple times so that’s why I need to learn grappling or juijitsu man and a few cycles I’ll be good 😂
The only fake shit we got is fucking lint chocolates 🤣🤣🤣
Islam sure he wants that? When a striker has good enough wrestling to keep a fight standing, he’s likely to win.
I doubt Islam could stand and strike with gaethje let alone a welterweight. He’d be doing all wrestling
Leon probably goes soft considering as a pro and his facing new guy, same with islam since they were just sparring with to against diff. weight division
He is awful to listen to, guy is so unmarketable
I’m taking Leon on this one, he already beat Usman x2
That high kick isnt nearly as effective on the ground ina choke.
Islam smoking Leon with a head kick
Islam has to atleast defend the belt with 1 or 2 real 155's before he gets the move up. He hasnt defended against any contender yet.
I’m guessing this was for first usman fight so this was long ago
They cannot fight! All hell will break loose and there will be no reason or respect after it. Let them be
Bluds talking like a robot
Islam is not a good fight for leon obviously
leon vs islam could either be a boring ass decision win for either guy or it could be the best fight oat no in between
C était a l époque où Islam avait même défier Brosnar tellement qu il avait faim😂😂😂 non c était Khabib qui lui avait dit de défier Brosnar mais il devait pas savoir qui c etait 😂😂😂😂
" be careful, he has a very Good finger , guard houre eyes 👀 '
