#UFC #UFC304 #UFCBreakdown
Leon had 26 mma pro fights since 2011, was never tko, never ko, never submitted,
only 2 losses by decision, last one was in 2015 vs usman.
That is a very impressive record.
Alexander Volkanovski had 22 wins in a row, 12 within ufc, beaten max 3 times, Brian ortega, aldo, Korean zombie. Even more impressive record before Islam makhachev beaten him
But if diaz can rock him belal should be able to if it gets into the late rounds.
Bad comparison 😂@@banehayat7342
@@snoopdaclown If Geof Neal dropped Belal multiple times with a left straight and left high kick (two of Leon's best weapons) then Leon should be able to do it. If Luque knocked out Belal in the first round with a check left hook and Leon beat Luque right after that fight, then Leon should do it too. If Alan Jouban can outpoint Belal then Leon should do it.
@@banehayat7342 Yeah but Volk already got knocked out before Islam and Ilia
Leon is so damn technical. Still criminally under rated imo
"LOOK AT ME NOW!!"
I think he’s reached his plateau.
@@Fitkid7672 if he has he's still easily the best in division. He's gonna make Belal look like an amateur
@@matthewanderson4378 I think Belal & shavkat are the 2 best currently in WW.
criminally boring
This will be a real MMA fight with both fighters deserving of championship level rank. I love both, not because of press conferencing but because of their fighting ability.
I'm with you.
You just want a good night sleep watching those 2
I missed Dan Hardy Inside The Octagon.
Who else missed the good old days too?⏬⏬
dan hardy breaking down fights with video images is the biggest loss of the whole mma internet.
The fact that dan hardy is no more ufc analyst is sad because no one really hold his spot the way he did,
and the fact that he can not even uses actual fight footage for his own yt channel is pathetic.
sayif saud is not that bad though.
Belal looking more and more like Mad Eyed Moody 👁
Lavash from Sausage Party
My brain says Leon by leg kicking to a unanimous decision with 50 total strikes. My heart says Belal by Split decision 😎
Your first sentence killed my weekend mood.
Guys, give some respect for this dude without brain but with lion heart 💪
Na
Belal by walk-off Split decision
The first time they fought, Leon had the biggest strike output of his whole career....
if belal wins, dana is gonna have a mental breakdown💀
@@draco2xx 💯
I actually think Dana will realise how much of the Muslim world back Belal
Disagree. I actually think this will be a good fight. Belal would be popular on Middle East.
we all will be having a mental breakdown........
IF:
Belal wins the most boring 48-47, and deliveres 2minute speech about Palestine.
Sandhagen KO's Umar.
Izzy gets subbed by DDP.
Jones KO'd by Stipe, then Stipe retires with the Belt.
Conor KO'd by Chandler.
ALL the Mexicans lose at the Sphere.
Merab wrestles Omalley to a 5 round decision.
ALL the French fighters lose at the Parin fight night.
Both Jones and Conor announce long break again.
Dana might actually announce he has depression for the first time.
Leon by eye poke lol
will be insane if belal wins the belt like that.....
Let's just get it over and done with so we can see Shavkat or Jack Della Maddalena fight for a belt
Shavkat never fights and maddalena is injured we will probably see Makachev fight Edwards after this fight
We never got to see Shavkat vs Khamzat at 170 🤦🏻♂️
@@rohinkaushal2434 Islam still has to fight Arman probably around October. So it will be awhile before we see Leon vs Islam
"Shavkat never fights" he just has no opponents, fool@@rohinkaushal2434
Another unexplained 8 month wait for the next welterweight title fight if Leon wins.
I want Belal to win, but, i also wanna see Leon vs Islam, so its 50/50 for me
One thing at a time.
Arman is already in talk to fight Islam, and Leon will take another 8 months after the win over belal(if he does).
dont hold you breath lol might be til 2025
Makhachev seems ready to fight Belal.
Belal is the one saying straight No
@@KhadersheriffNot really. I don't think Islam would fight Belal either. He hesitated to answer, he said "If Belal got the belt, we need to discuss something".
@@gorillaz9694 hopefully they fight.
I feel like more fighter should make that mental switch and fight their gym partner when the time comes.
Belal needs to fight in the clinch. He needs to make it ugly like a Magny fight in the first couple of rounds.
Go belal go 🇵🇸
Sayif Saud is such a good coach. Seeing him breakdown fights is super interesting. You can tell he really knows what he’s talking about. I love to see it. 💯
Leon after 2 camps preparing for Kamaru. No chance Belal beats Leon anywhere.
Also a third camp for colby
LOL
Got feeling leon gonna do number on belal and leon said himself he needs finish
lol
Hopefully, Belal win the title and defend his belt against Garry. The most hated championship in history.
Belal isn’t winning 😂😂😂
@Falcon_865 that's what everyone said about leon to usman
He's not winning @@jaredhenderson7756
@@jaredhenderson7756so are you defending Leon or Belal? Bro trying to play both sides lol
@@jaredhenderson7756 completely different styles belal is a worse version of usman less power less physically stronger and not as dominant if leon is 100% theres no reason to suggest why he would not win especially after their first fight + Belal is not going to knock leon out is he
Belal is strong
This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
Shamil Gaziev enters the chat
Purple akki I wondered where you were at
Nah that’s Lewis
@@MatthewMcRowan
Shamil "the Cardio Machine" Gaziev
The only fighter to lose via Heart Attack
I don’t see a path to victory for Belal. Leon does everything he does but better. Kicking, boxing, distance management, clinch fighting, etc. The wrestling won’t even play a part considering how good Leon is.
That’s why it’s so interesting. Belal is on 9 win streak. He’s got the confidence to go despite the hard challenge that you just illustrated.
LOL
Belal Mohammed ❤
Hope Belal takes it home
Who’s Belal?
Bilal good luck ❤❤
That’s not how you spell his name.. you need to “remember the name”
Who?
Hearing that Belal's best performance was against one armed Gilbert is too funny
the problem is his eyes are naturally poking out too much
What happened to the “greatest submissions” video posted yesterday???
Yall know gilbert only had 1 arm that fight taking no credit from Belal but 🤷🏾♂️
I need Belal to win, so the whole sport would have a meltdown lol it would sooooo f'n funny
Leon aint exactly mr activity and excitement neither. If Belal fights more than every 4 months as champ. I will be happy he won. i dont give af about palestine or israel lol
@@streetplaya23It took Volk longer than Leon to get his 3 title wins. Leon fought twice in 2023, hes an active champion.
@@confessance thats great. i wasnt talkin about volk. i was saying IF Belal fights more than every 4 months thats better than Leon(or any other) who takes 8 months off to fight since winning the belt.
8
months
off.
volk, leon, whoever. i prefer the more active options.
@@streetplaya23since when has Belal fought every 4 months that's never going to happen he hasn't fought for 16 months now 😂
@@THEDOGFATHERL11 sure. like i said. IF he does fight more active as champ i will be glad he won.
Leon is still the champ
yep the eye poke champ
Can’t wait for Belal to beat this bum! Chi town stand 🆙
You’re corny. Don’t rep The Chi.
Why are their MMA records showing incorrect?
Their first match ended in a NC and this breakdown doesn't recognise it
The fact that you did not mention that Gilbert dislocated his shoulder in the first round, which is why he got walked backwards, just shows that you’re a salesmen to the fighters, not an actual objective analyst. Be honest and open about everything, don’t cherry pick stuff to hype up another fighters attributes.
How is that Belals fault? Belal also had way better footwork in that fight
@@jmz2144 it’s not his fault. But Belal didn’t walk him backwards until after the injury. Rewatch the fight. Gilbert was putting it on Belal until the injury.
@@SluJameshow was he putting it on, it was the first 10 seconds💀💀Gilbert shot and got stuffed so hard by belal his shoulder dislocated
Leon with a head kick
These breakdowns with Sayif are great please do not get rid of this segment!
Belal body kick vs burns was brutal
dont sleep on this fight its going to be a banger
Belal looks like young Tony Bennet with a beard 👌
Depends on how their moral works
Depends how they trained themselves
But i hope good fight
Jon "no morals, only PEDs" Jones has entered the chat.
C'mon Leon ,don't let him bully u son
Bellal get destroyed, retires and fights Kevin Lee in BKFC
Damn I see a lot of love for a Bel...er,what'sthename lol win here I'm English/British and that must be the reason why I don't get it even though I am not nationally biased { who don't love Poatan,Holloway,The Diamond and Volkanovski right? If you study Leon as a Martial artist he is a true master. If anyone in the world could win in the fashion he does then they would and that includes all of us Fans. But can I ask anyone a question based out of possible paranoia ? Are UK fighters seen more unlikely even when they are at the top because they are well...... from the UK.? Peace Love and Respect to the Entire world of all MMA Fans OSU!!!
hope belal win...if leon won he well known as champion rarely fight, & he already ducking contenders like shavkat, jdm, gary
He’s not ducked any of them.. Dana even said he doesn’t turn down fights
Leon said yes to the Shavkat fight… Shavkat said no. So did Khamzat and Garry just showed vs MVP that Leon will murder him… have a word with yourself
Leon gonna smoke this fool
Hey thats the guy who hid under the desk breaking down fights, what a world we live in
Belal wins & moves up 2 weight classes to challenge Pereira at LHW.
Belal KOs Pereira in round 1 & becomes the undisputed GOAT.
Edwards is an incredible athlete. Belal is a good fighter. This should be a great fight. i think Leons fight IQ will give him the win.
Fascinating breakdown lads!
I like belal and want him to win . But leon is so good man. Very good takedown defense and deadly striking .
Watching this got me ready for the UFC countdown ,press conference & official weigh in.. first card in the sphere you know it’s gone be F’N bananas.
The card sucks so bad it's full of boring fights
Sayif is one of the best ufc analysts. His analysis of each ufc fighters are on point! The man is good!
I don’t care who wins. I just want an active champ for this stacked division. There’s way too many contenders ready while the champ fights 2x a year.
Belal all the way
Leon is very efficient with his strikes and can generate power thru out the fight because of how smooth his shore are. but if you can put a pace on him I believe he can be taken out
Which is what people thought colby was going to do
Beautiful video, thank you for the breakdown.
don't let him bully you son
Belal has a way of just making things work out, finding a way, Khabib has made Belal v2.0 compared to how he was in his first Leon fight and whilst I cannot say his skills are as good as Leons, I can honestly see him winning. Remember Leon has had dips in round 4 and 5 against Nate and Colby and Belal has superb cardio, I see Leon winning R1 and R2 and then I expect things to turn.
Leon by KO is the safe bet as is Belal by decision (which is 7 out of 9 of his last fight result)
I thought these dudes was DDP and Anthony Smith at first 😂😂
I want this on record. I'm calling it since now (07/19/24) Blaydes shocks the world and Belal shocks the universe.
Man nahh. Tom is too good. I think Belal wins though.
How’s it been several years? First fight was 2021
Belal by Murder lets all be honest
Murderous decision
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Oh you mean like in the first fight? 😂 Belal was the one getting "murdered"
😅
Danny Andersen! Blue marrow! Cow hands! Knuckles! Blue marrow bones! Diana’s Deadly Kratos Child
Can Belal get his first career knock down?
Belal's only chance is jab, take down and nap on leon for the rest of the fight😂
Belal style is horrendus
I'm not a muslim but Bellal deserves this belt.
@@bfreal No, he doesnt
@@IronFist2508 he maybe not, but I personally don't like Leon's face as a human. I don't know how to explain this here, but after the 2 fights and victories also, I don't like him as a warrior. I think that he's little overrated.
@@bfreal How can he deserve the belt without beating the champion?
@@bfreal real talk, my boi
I want Belal to win but I feel the layoff will hurt him
A lay off while taking juice is different.
@@Mark-oj8wj Hahahaaaaa get the excuses ready huh? Weaaaaakkkkk
@@edwardkelly3280 I think his lack of fight IQ and striking skills is what will hurt him
@@IronFist2508ouch!
Belal has been training since at least March when the fight was first rumored.
Leon’s last fight was a while ago as well.
Love both fighters but leaning toward Belal.
As soon as Leon puts it on him, he will break down and start crying like last time.
Belal is not a good enough wrestler to shut down Leon's striking game,
and there is a massive gap between their striking levels.
Edwards will win by tko or unanimous decision.
I would bet on it if I could, and I am rarely sure of myself when it comes to ufc fights,
but this one is crystal clear for me.
I give Leon 70/80 % chances to win,
as many say, this fight will be the 2nd round. and we all know how the first one unfolded. belal has improved since then, no doubt…but Leon as well.
A lot of people think that bellal is easy for Edwards but I see that guy is so underrated and he can beat Edwards , I don't like his style but he's good at sticking and wrestling too , so I think we will see a very good fight , and I want see colby beat Garry's ass too
Colby had a brolen foot. Needs to be mentioned
SHAVKAT ☝️
Edwards Scissorhands has no chances. And new!! ☝️Belal
mafia 😎
Even belals introduction sucks
Who would not take advantage of a one armed bandit? Don’t act like Belal done something special against Gilbert… 🤦♂️
Close fight but i'm not a Belal fan his style is weak, Leon wins with style and he is gritty he can defend Usman Yo
Belal has supporters? 14:26
Listen closely ppls that liver kick landed at the same time, Belal the Terrorist supporter said so in a slip of tongue
22-3-1
23-3-1
Neither on a double digit win streak. Stop the cap
I was only listening to the video and I thought Tim Welch was talking the whole time
It's about to be a sleepy fight.. I'm ready falling asleep
People Act like in there first fight Leon wasnt up on the score cards and Belal did anything but surivive those rounds he had simply no output and he couldnt get leon to the ground :)
Leon by finish. Im thinking round 3 or 4.
Garry gonna be Champ!
The have a groin kick in the highlight
Lein vs adesanya ❤😮
You mean, Can Leon defend it again, he's already done that once to a Mr Usman.
Leon has 2 people who beat him and Belal will not have an easy road and he isn’t that elusive!
Belal remember the name🔥
😂😂
Who?
@@jamesrobert4106 the champion
@@IronFist2508 what’s funny lol he the champ
@@hotsh20t74 he's a bum champ
in what way is colby similar to belal???
Beat the champ twice and defended against Colby. Beat all wrestlers. Still gets doubted . . Hopefully he keeps it goin. BM is lame
Tape up Leon’s fingers!
Let's goo bully b
belal "forget his name" muhammad
Remember the decision
Faisal "random copy cat" almaturiiri
Belal gonna win and I'm gonna hate it
Leon will whoop his arse👊
"Leon 'eye poke master' Edward"
Now let's move on to real fighting, belal, not a mouth that cannot back anything up, but wishful thinking.
I am no doubt goin for Leon, but I have a feeling Belal is going to win because nobody is picking him and because it’s going to piss everyone off 😂
I hope this fight wont ended by another eye poke 😅
