This is my first colby fight. Where is the pressure, volume, non stop wrestling?

Strickland vs. Dricus 1 should have been on this card, not in the crowd.

Colby has nothing that would concern Leon. He's not doing anything

If this stays a kickboxing match, Leon Edwards should win an easy decision.

If colby corner does not wake him up after this then they need to be fired

Colby needs to push the pace more

Colby is scared to attempt a TD because it's likely Leon will defend it  

Leon has better technical striking than Usman ever did, so Colby can't stand toe-to-toe
