However impressive Shavkat’s UFC winning streak has been, Edwards had to win 3 more fights to get his first championship opportunity. Tells you how mentally tough Edwards is, win or lose tonight.

I’ve heard and read a bunch that Colby will use Edwards emotions against him. How does that look? How does Colby take advantage of this?

His mistake was thinking Leon has emotions.

Leon looks good. Not frotting at the mouth to punch colby.

I said Leon for blue but he represents green better as far as I'm concerned tonight.

Well when did Leon ever lose control of his emotions inside the cage? During a match I mean, crying with happiness afterwards sure.
