I mean at the end of the day it helped leon very much because rn he's such a grappler and he was able to defend against usman with the Td defense he developed at AKA and recently he just treated colby like a grappling dummy
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.
He hasn’t even defended his strap against someone from 155. There’s three people all waiting for their shot before he goes to 170. It would make more sense leon going to 185.
@ricddjdb1219 it's not his fault that Oliveira pulled put. And his first defence against Volk was no easy opponent, tougher than most if not all of the LW division. But I agree at 170 Belal makes the most sense.
@russthebeast9117 he's already beaten 2 of the 3 names you listed. Gaethe is a fresh matchup which makes the most sense of all LWs but he's only on a 2 fight win streak, Oliveira's only on a 1 fight win streak. Arman makes some sense too but he should get 1 more win.
He’s always had wrestling skills. People are acting like he wasn’t one of the best wrestlers from England before the big improvements over the past 3 years. Being the best wrestler in England isn’t hard though we don’t care for it or do it in school

Leon’s wrestling is piss poor. Colby dominated him in the wrestling with 5 min of control time with a fractured limb. Each time Leon tried to reverse Colby would outwit him. I’d put my house on an uninjured Colby or ANY chain wrestler/ Dagistan guy beating Leon I mean ANY.

All the glazers gonna rush to defend their king for this one but IMO am I the only one who thinks Islam gets smoked by Leon? These aren’t little FWs and LWs who you have a massive size advantage on anyway, this is a man who is a lot bigger than you and had quite comfortably dealt with the wrestling of Usman and Colby.

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.
