@Amettxpc 
I agree. However, I think he slows down considerably because he goes hard the first two rounds. He just needs to pace himself more. It's like he still has this three round fight mentality when fighting these title fights

I know people make fun of americans sometimes for not understanding english accents. Well I'm swedish and I can usually pick up on them. Could watch Peaky Blinders with no subs. But I would really appreciate if the UFC put subs on Edwards.

Leon wins because this is a Rocky story, Colby is the bad guy. He knew he ****** up once the words left his mouth. Or maybe when the bottle hit him. Colby is not Mr. T, but he does have far more skills in terms of fighting.

I hope Leon doesn't knock Colby out and just beats the piss out of him for 25 minutes.

The next american election should be decided right here. Colby for red Edwards for blue. Would save a lot of time and money and be about equally rigged.

Hope Leon doesn't come in too emotional, cause Colby will for sure use it in his favor.

That's why Parrumpa told him to be calm: he fights too frenetic in the first rounds, but even so he shows really good chin and was in zombie mood before securing the takedown in the last round.
