Congratulations to Colby Covington on his dominant 50-44 scorecard across all three scorecards and becoming the new undisputed welterweight champion of the world.
@@kenwahldhlamini8102could see Colby 48-47 winning this though. His problem will be similar to Usmans in the third fight with struggling to take Leon down
Volkanovski is nearly 35, Pereira is 36. Age is irrelevant. Colby keeps himself in good shape but his inactivity is a joke tbh and it's hindered his career
@@QuestionMarkKick360 Yeah but Volk lost to a future HOF in a close split decision at 155 and Periera lost to the second greatest middleweight after beating him previously but besides that they both reign terror in their divisions

Leon's grappling is disgustingly underrated. I wouldn't even be shocked if he reversed Colby on a couple of his TD attempts and beats him up on the ground a bit. Colby is not a big strong guy like Kamaru. Leon's got a much bigger and longer frame than Colby.
@@mfundimkhize3137 We'll see how many attempts colby's willing to go for after he gets intercepted with knees and is repeatedly elbowed in the clinch. I'm telling you kamaru may not have had knees, but leon is going to have a much better time manipulating colby in the clinch because he's literally the smallest 175er in the division.
You are delusional. Colby is whole different wrestler than usman. He is a chain wrestler,while usman uses his power. Usman will let you go if you get up,colby will spam takedowns until y die. Also their ground and pound is different. Colby throws non stop while usman holds you down until an opening comes. If leon doesnt ko him he is getting 50-45 Mind you no1 ever made masvidal looked so helpless grappling not usman,not burns even the dagestani failed. With Colby he looked helpless.
@@eternallinks3351 Oh great bro, you mean to tell me all fighters from before needed to do was elbow & knee Colby/wrestlers then the wrestling would be redundant? Wonder why they didn’t do it if that’s all it takes? 🥲
Colby was getting picked apart on the feet by usman wtf do you think lean is gonna do when he tries to strike with him faster even than usman got power and way better striking with crazy effective kicks
Here is the thing: Usman was destroying Edwards, he only lost because of a wellplaced shot on the 5th round. I'm not saying it was luck, but it's highly unlikely he can pull that again. Usman lost the second fight because he was afraid and Leon has entered his head, Colby won't have that disadvantage and he is almost Usman level of skill so...
Finally, thank you for pointing out Colby's lack of ranked opponents. People treat him like he's this monster in the division when he hasn't fought anyone. With that being said, congrats to Colby Covington on finally defeating Leon Edwards and becoming the Welterweight champion of the world!
Which currently ranked opponent did Leon Edwards beat before his title shot last year? It’ll probably be zero or 1. Rankings don’t really matter that much. Stipe will be fighting for a title but doesn’t have a top 10 win, similar thing Jones & Strickland before their title shots. In fact Cannonier was more ‘deserving’ of a title shot Strickland but it happened that way. Ranked wins are a minimal consideration.
@mfundimkhize3137 He has a win over Luque and was whooping Belal's ass before the eyepoke. He also didn't lose to Usman twice, so at this point, his resume is much better than Colby's.
This doesn't make sense because at the time of him winning the interim title he beat demian maia at 39 who was 1 loss removed from his from 7 fight win streak and just had title shot being ranked 3. He then beat "small rda" who was the number 1 contender to win an interim title. People want to talk about his win against woodley but that's how burns got his title shot while beating a 42 year old maia and woodley the literal fight before colby.
lol, that thumbnail is spot on. Belal Muhammad said as much in that youtube short *Colby is a good loser* where he stated Colby's biggest achievement is the moral victory that he put up a good effort against Usman. People just give Colby participation trophies against Usman to make his resume look better than it really is. Both Usman and Leon have downplayed Colby's overhyped cardio, too. In the post-fight presser when Usman beat him the first time, he said "where is this gas tank?" everyone is talking about. Leon said as much in his octagon interview "I knew I was a better athlete... everyone kept going on about his cardio... I know I can match him cardio for cardio" And Dana was proven completely wrong when he said "If Usman doesn't exist, Colby is the champion." He was trying so hard to push him to be champ just because they share the same political views.
Colby been dropped 5 times in his last 4 fights Masvidal dropped him and Usman had 2 knockdowns in both fights. Fought Woodley in between the Usman fights. This time he's getting slept good and proper.
For the people who say Khabib's record is padded, you have to say the same about this guy. And I think Colby's record is even worse cause Khabib's competition really leveled up when he entered the UFC (beating prime RDA, prime Barboza, prime Poirier and prime Gaethje), while Colby's best victories are all against washed-up fighters (old Woodley, old Maia, old RDA, old Masvidal and old Lawler). The names in both records are good but the timing is what makes the difference here. Don't get me wrong, Colby is an outstanding fighter, but he should be facing at least 2 ranked opponents before getting a title fight.
The problem is Khabib never really fought any wrestlers and hardly any grapplers. People say lightweight is the toughest division but how can they say that when they don’t have a diversity of talent? Colby fought Woodley right after Usman beat him and was the first finish him. He has a nearly identical record to Usman. If Colby’s record is padded so is Usmans.
@@russianbot2630 Gaethje has the same wrestling credentials as Colby and RDA took Colby down and gave him a challenge while Khabib dominated a much better version of RDA. Colby defeated Woodley after he was dominated by Usman AND Burns, so he was in a losing streak already. Usman's victories over Burns, Edwards (when they were BOTH younger) and twice Colby himself makes Usman record way better than Colby's at this point.
Both Colby and Kahbib are the most Overrated/Underrated fighters. Fans hype them up as invincible, then haters Act like they only fought Tomato Cans and that they're not skilled at all 😂😂
It is amazing to me how people dismiss Leon clearly beating Usman. He rocked him bad and basically shut him down most of the fight. It wasn’t a beating, but it wasn’t close. Beforehand everyone was speaking so highly of Usman, even after the KO, and yeah you don’t look good when someone is making you not look good lol. Leon put on an incredible performance to beat the second best ww ever.
I’m glad you brought this up. Leon is a much bigger, stronger, and skilled than Colby who has avoided any of the best fighters like Bilal, Gilbert and other top welterweights. I just don’t see Colby winning.
I don’t understand how you can have such a big favorite in a fight where both fighters have huge advantages in their respective areas. Colby’s wrestling and bjj is much better than Leon’s, and so is his cardio and pace.
@@DADRB0B55 yea, Gilbert. He’s a solid fighting who is at the top of his division. Wouldn’t it make sense if they both fought each other? There is a reason Colby refused when Gilbert called him out. Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan of Colby but he should’ve fought more welterweights in the top 5.
@@bigsmall2842 is it? All you need to do is watch Leon in his first, second, and third fight with Usman and you will clearly see the improvements he’s made in his take down defense and his grappling skills. If Colby can’t take Leon down then his grappling is void. If the fight stays on the feet any advantage Colby has with cardio and pace is also void because kickboxing is Leon’s world and he will be able to match Colby.
Leon's brother, fabian, just got stiffened at bellator against Johnny Eblen, he's already going through some shitty moments, the least you can do for the poor guy is pick Colby to beat him. He'll end up killing himself because of you Lucas
Man, my winnings have been off the charts after I started just picking the opposite of Lucas Tracys predictions. Gotta say thanks for the free money brother.
You are very articulate. But you dont seem to fully understand colby's style. Hes a chain wrestler and a volume puncher. He doesnt have power but his stamina and pressure are his weapons. I think your boy leon is going to lose because colby has pretty good striking.
I just wanna congratulate the one and only Colby Chaos Covington for submitting Leon in the very first round via triangle choke. Here’s to many more wins from the champion and american himself!
Edward's performance against Belal is starting to age better. It was No decision, but Edwards was dominating. Giving Belal no room for grappling. Im afraid the Covington fight will be similar
Both are Leon and Colby are boring asf. The only decent Leon fight I’ve ever seen is his rematch against Usman. Every single one of his other fights was a complete snoozefest. The man didn’t even look good against a washed Diaz. Colby is also a complete bore. He talks a good game in the buildup to his fights but lays on opponents for five rounds. He’s not even a good grappler like Oliveira, Mackachev, or Khabib. They’ll at least land some ground and pound and attempt subs. Colby however just lies on people and hits them with little potshots. Man… Just give Shavkat the title shot after he manhandles Wonderboy
Not only will Colby need to slip on an entire banana tree - but Leon would need to be the size of Jupiter to have a chance against him now. The curse is on!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The MMA community has the most casual takes when it comes to Colby 😂 They act like two razor close losses to Usman somehow means he isn't good and disregard his accomplishments because of some imaginary numbers placed next to the names of certain fighters Colby literally drowns Leon by the 3rd round
@@bmmjg he was losing every round. Btw saying leon was gassed is not the own u think it is lmao. He couldn't handle that usman pressure in the 2nd fight
This is gonna age so terribly Colby’s gonna drown him with volume strikes and takedowns people call usman a pressure fighter but watch the 3rd fight and tell me that’s “pressure”
Age doesnt really concern me too much, its his inactivity that worries me. Hes taking way too long between fights to be jumping right in with leon for the title.
Age should kind of concern you though. The record for fighters between the weight classes of flyweight and welterweight aged 35 and above is 2-20 in title fights. The inactivity definitely won’t help him either though.
As much as I think Colby doesn’t deserve the title shot, Im looking forward to this fight especially since Ferguson is on the card. This December card is gonna be great. What a way to end the year. Colby Covington & Tony Ferguson are fighting. One of my best friends in the military his favorite fighter is Colby and mine is El cucuy. I’m excited for UFC 296💪🏼. It’s tony time boys. We riding till the wheels fall off
Leon fought Gunnar Nelson, an older RDA than Colby beat and then Nate Diaz before getting a title shot lol his competition is a bit sus too (and he nearly got finished by Diaz and Bryan Barbarena lmao) Colby’s style and skill set clearly shows he is at the level of Usman and Leon was competitive with a gunshy Usman, Colby will be a lot better than you think dude but very interesting to see. 🔥
I still pick Covington. Leon Edwards hasn't fought anyone with the cardio and pace of Colby. Unlike Kamaru Colby's legs are still good and he is more likely to try to take you down and try to get to a dominant position than Edwards. Plus Edwards best weapon is his kicks and he won't be able to throw as many as Colby will fight in close range or try to take him down. Also, with how every underdog has been beating every champ I take Colby.
@@lucastracymma8764 Colby’s wrestling pressure is like merab’s. He’ll go for takedowns constantly even if he continuously fails them. It puts the opponent on constant wrestling defense and opens them up to strikes. People clown colby for pillow punches but he has some pop and a lot of volume; he wobbled usman at end of 4th in the second fight. Once his opponent gets used to defending takedowns, they get popped in the mush. When they defend strikes they get wrestled
If it’s close range Colby has bad scar tissue don’t be surprised if Leon cuts his face open with elbows or even drops him bc Colby’s been dropped 4 times in his last 4 fights. Colby can definitely win with his wrestling but if Leon takes usman blueprint and starts goin to Colby’s body he can slow down the pressure
One thing I'm gonna point out is that 48-47 over RDA in 2018 , people get better and there is huge difference bw the striking of that colby and now , and RDA was in his prime and ran through guys like magny , robbie and was a favorite in a potential fight against woodley
Magny and robbie were mediocre at that time lol, and rda prime was years before that where he won 5 times before losing to khabib and then winning 5 in a row after and won the belt
@@Graciehunter32 not really tbh RDA was 34 at the time and was looking better than ever and sure neil magny and lawler werent elite , but also he ran through them , destroyed robbie for 5 rounds , and finished many in 1 , and his prime was definitely not before kabob lol , his best peformamces are against pettis n cowboy both which took place after kabob , not to mention he became champ after the khabib fight
Haters will always alter facts to suit their narrative, Colby was beating up a healthy Robbie Lawler with record breaking strikes years ago, Robbier KO Niko Price in his last fight
Colby has been training for Leon since the third Usman vs Edwards fight, he was the stand in. Nate even rocked Leon. Although you made alot of good points about Colby. Either way it should be a good fight and card.
I think the inactivity will slow Colby down early on and he'll lose the first two rounds, like he did in the second Usman fight where he was also coming off a layoff, then he'll turn it up in the 3rd and 4th and by the 5th rd he'll basically be 10-8ing Leon
"arguably won" not according to the judges, not according to mma media, not according to large fan polls, not according to anyone unbiased. Usman outsruck him in every round except round 4 and this isn't an opinion but a FACT. Usman dropped him twice which is another fact. Colby needs fans to argue for him the one takedown he got for literally five seconds. Bottom line is stop being biased, it was a greta fight and competitive but usman absolutely won .
@@kalal9922 fair enough, but they were very competitive. I'm just saying the reason he gets credit for the usman fights is because he was more competitive with him than any other welterweight by far til Leon
Colby better NEVER get another shot at that belt after this lost..his bs wrestling and pitty pat punches won't work in this fight... he's losing! 🤷🏾♂️

@@zypher9959 Using the 😂 emoji shows a high degree of passive-aggressiveness. Usually found in weak and oversocialized men. Don‘t care about Colbys fake persona by the way.
Colby, who trains everyday,, clearly takes care of his health, barely cuts any weight and clearly has a clean diet that he doesn't let go of, that is the guy you are mentioning being 35. Come on dude, Colby is the last guy who would be affected at age 35. I know people think him defending takedowns from Usman who has fucked up knees, just got brutally knocked out, and gives up on a takedown as soon as it fails one time, it's not gonna work against Colby. Usman literetaly cheated vs Colby in the first fight, and got robbed in the second fight. There is no LucasTracy curse, the curse is you just making picks based on paper stats. Anyways, Leon 48-47 split decision.
Colby isn't the only UFC fighter that trains everyday and takes care of his health and has a clean diet. That's basically most of them. Colby fans act like he's the only one which is funny
No, but you are acting like most of them do it on the lvl Colby does, they clearly don't and the biggest factor which you don't mention, Colby cuts no weight, that will 100% affect his longevity. It's the small things that matter. You aren't going to be having fighters perform the way Colby will 36/37, the reason Heavyweights can go longer isn't because they have power, it's because they cut no weight.

I don’t think Leon is going to lose because Colby is better than him in the octagon I think Leon has a weak mind and Colby is going to absolutely devastate him in press conferences and pre-fight meetings and interviews and it’s going to break Leon down mentally. Leon will come out not much different then Jose Aldo did with McGregor extremely tight and just completely out of character and it’s going to gas him out quick. Like you said if Colby can land multiple takedowns and dominate the ground that will Fully break Leon and Colby might even sub him idk. That’s my scenario for Colby to win and for some reason I feel pretty confident it’s exactly what’s going to happen.
@@suf1an658 shit dude how many times do you hear Colby say something that is completely factual? And besides he has got a little ammo considering Leon has literally clogged up that whole weight division. I’m not master on the mic like some of these ufc fighters and honestly would probably mirror Leon in how he handles interviews and stuff so I’m not the best one to think of shit for Colby to talk but I’d say he will be Able to squeeze his way in there some how or another lol. I’m more excited about this fight than the job Jones one by a long shot! Not to mention costa and chimaev ohhhweeee we got a couple months of gold ahead of us.
Honestly if you allow yourself to get "mentally broken" by Colby's prewritten st-st-stuttering practice in the mirror lines at this point you deserve to lose 🤷🏻♂️
I have to agree Leon is just better, he has the phisycal attributes, striking, fight iq, grappling, more power in hia shots and Colby does have the wrestling and cardio, but even his chin is starting to fade slowly and he doesn't have the strength and size that Usman has, like he might have the skill but he doesn't have the strength and he isn't the best with leg kicks and we all know what Leon will do to them, I have Leon winning 49-46 or a late stoppage.
You do remember what age DC won the belt right ? Or how old Alex V is ? Going by age means nothing look what a beast Yoel Romero is at his age it all depends how you keep your body and Colby is consistently in the gym your take is horrible bud
colby being 35 isn’t gonna effect anything with the fact that volk izzy,dustin usman,benal, pereira,jon jones, Gaethje, Jan, have all been champions despite all been the same ages as colby or older

All you need to do is watch Leon in his first, second, and third fight with Usman and you will clearly see the improvements he’s made in his take down defense and his grappling skills. If Colby can’t take Leon down then his grappling is void. If the fight stays on the feet any advantage Colby has with cardio and pace is also void because kickboxing is Leon’s world and he will be able to match Colby.
Bro you have the worst main event prediction rate in UA-cam history. That's the only reason I need to pick Colby. 😂
😂😂
“none of his wins are over anyone currently competing” casual tracy forgot about rda, barberena, max griffin
I know you didn’t just name drop Bryan mf Barbarena in an attempt to disprove Lucas point bruh🤣🤣
That's a rebuttal but not the win you think it is. It just means Colby has 0 wins against current ranked welterweights.
@@gabriellobo-berg9322 i did… what have i done
Colby bout to get a first or second round finish thx to you
Colby doesn’t do well after layoffs. Leon will do enough damage before Colby can shoot. Leon 49-46 or 48-46
Facts colby covington is the biggest fraud and coward in mma history
Lucas Tracy sealed Leon’s fate
Lollll!! Congratulations to Colby on his 50/43 decision win against Leon!! 🤣😂🤜✨🤛
That's all Colby has been doing is lay offs !
how do you know? are you training partner of Colby?
“Not only is he 35, but he’s almost 36”
Its over
Leon's brother, fabian, just got stiffened at bellator against Johnny Eblen, he's already going through some shitty moments, the least you can do for the poor guy is pick Colby to beat him. He'll end up killing himself because of you Lucas
Man, my winnings have been off the charts after I started just picking the opposite of Lucas Tracys predictions. Gotta say thanks for the free money brother.
That’s why Leon edwards has the most aesthetic physique
“wobblestone cobblestone” gets me every time 😂😂
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO LUCAS TRACY HAS EVER RELEASED.
Lucas Tracy confirms the TND
Stipe flatlines Jones and sends his soul straight to hell
You are very articulate. But you dont seem to fully understand colby's style. Hes a chain wrestler and a volume puncher.
He doesnt have power but his stamina and pressure are his weapons. I think your boy leon is going to lose because colby has pretty good striking.
I just wanna congratulate the one and only Colby Chaos Covington for submitting Leon in the very first round via triangle choke. Here’s to many more wins from the champion and american himself!
Yessss Colby is finally going to be a champion
Thanks Lucas tracy cant wait to see colby become champ
Edward's performance against Belal is starting to age better. It was No decision, but Edwards was dominating. Giving Belal no room for grappling. Im afraid the Covington fight will be similar
Wow i wouldnt have thought that colby actually managed to submit Edwards
Love u lucas - always to the point
Both are Leon and Colby are boring asf.
The only decent Leon fight I’ve ever seen is his rematch against Usman. Every single one of his other fights was a complete snoozefest. The man didn’t even look good against a washed Diaz.
Colby is also a complete bore. He talks a good game in the buildup to his fights but lays on opponents for five rounds. He’s not even a good grappler like Oliveira, Mackachev, or Khabib. They’ll at least land some ground and pound and attempt subs. Colby however just lies on people and hits them with little potshots.
Man… Just give Shavkat the title shot after he manhandles Wonderboy
the curse will strike again
Lucas and Joey are just pure Colby haters, what a pair of losers
Not only will Colby need to slip on an entire banana tree - but Leon would need to be the size of Jupiter to have a chance against him now. The curse is on!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The MMA community has the most casual takes when it comes to Colby 😂
They act like two razor close losses to Usman somehow means he isn't good and disregard his accomplishments because of some imaginary numbers placed next to the names of certain fighters
Colby literally drowns Leon by the 3rd round
agreed, lucas is such a casual lmao
Your two best fights being Ls to a guy the current champ beat twice is not a good look bruh😂😂
@@gabriellobo-berg9322Leon was getting dominated in the 2nd fight lmao
@@jimmyg5102he was gassed and still murdered him in the 5th unlike colby who got finished in the 5th
@@bmmjg he was losing every round. Btw saying leon was gassed is not the own u think it is lmao. He couldn't handle that usman pressure in the 2nd fight
This is gonna age so terribly Colby’s gonna drown him with volume strikes and takedowns people call usman a pressure fighter but watch the 3rd fight and tell me that’s “pressure”
Thank you Lucas I really wanted Colby to win now I know he will 🙏
Bro just got another prediction wrong and he comes out with this😅
Not to mention Colby has pillow hands he’s not a heavy hitter and the only reason he got a tko from woodely is because woodley is washed up
I guess you could say he has to slip on a bannana peel to lose?!
Or Colby will be president before winning that fight like he predicted Dricus would against Rob 😂😂
Mfs will say you had a casual take and then do fucking theoretical physics to explain why their pick wins lmao 49-46 Leon ✂️✂️✂️
Colby did it!!
he almost got knocked out by diaz...
In Colby’s defense, he was asking for woodley a loooong time before he actually got the fight
Bless you
Age doesnt really concern me too much, its his inactivity that worries me. Hes taking way too long between fights to be jumping right in with leon for the title.
Age should kind of concern you though. The record for fighters between the weight classes of flyweight and welterweight aged 35 and above is 2-20 in title fights. The inactivity definitely won’t help him either though.
@@cocksniffer3116 for sure, I just think his inactivity is definitely the most worrying to me. I didn't even realize colby was close to 40 lol
As much as I think Colby doesn’t deserve the title shot, Im looking forward to this fight especially since Ferguson is on the card. This December card is gonna be great. What a way to end the year. Colby Covington & Tony Ferguson are fighting. One of my best friends in the military his favorite fighter is Colby and mine is El cucuy. I’m excited for UFC 296💪🏼. It’s tony time boys. We riding till the wheels fall off
That wheelchair shot killed me😂
Leon fought Gunnar Nelson, an older RDA than Colby beat and then Nate Diaz before getting a title shot lol his competition is a bit sus too (and he nearly got finished by Diaz and Bryan Barbarena lmao) Colby’s style and skill set clearly shows he is at the level of Usman and Leon was competitive with a gunshy Usman, Colby will be a lot better than you think dude but very interesting to see. 🔥
11 fight win streak brother
Leon beat Luque and would have beaten Belal if the fight didn't get stopped.
I still pick Covington. Leon Edwards hasn't fought anyone with the cardio and pace of Colby. Unlike Kamaru Colby's legs are still good and he is more likely to try to take you down and try to get to a dominant position than Edwards. Plus Edwards best weapon is his kicks and he won't be able to throw as many as Colby will fight in close range or try to take him down. Also, with how every underdog has been beating every champ I take Colby.
Leon beat USMAN twice, who's known for his cardio and pace lmao
@@lucastracymma8764colby’s pace is wayyyy faster than usman lmao
@@lucastracymma8764Colby has different wrestling and pace than Usman does. It won't be same fight.
@@lucastracymma8764 Colby’s wrestling pressure is like merab’s. He’ll go for takedowns constantly even if he continuously fails them. It puts the opponent on constant wrestling defense and opens them up to strikes. People clown colby for pillow punches but he has some pop and a lot of volume; he wobbled usman at end of 4th in the second fight.
Once his opponent gets used to defending takedowns, they get popped in the mush. When they defend strikes they get wrestled
If it’s close range Colby has bad scar tissue don’t be surprised if Leon cuts his face open with elbows or even drops him bc Colby’s been dropped 4 times in his last 4 fights. Colby can definitely win with his wrestling but if Leon takes usman blueprint and starts goin to Colby’s body he can slow down the pressure
My man Lucas’s showing sum emotion in this one 😂
Colby definitely has some prime real estate in his head.
@WyattXcrippy nah I think Leon is winning tbh
Congratulations to your new UFC welterweight champion of the world, Colby Covington!!!! 😂😂😂
Cringe
That’s why Leon Edwards has the best physique in MMA
Terrible take
Don’t agree Lucas. Colby will take mumble mouth down and submit him. I’m English aswell
who has he subbed?
and get his first win in 4 years against a fighter who's still currently in the ufc?
@@regardlesslamron2096 Leon
This is exactly why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
One thing I'm gonna point out is that 48-47 over RDA in 2018 , people get better and there is huge difference bw the striking of that colby and now , and RDA was in his prime and ran through guys like magny , robbie and was a favorite in a potential fight against woodley
Magny and robbie were mediocre at that time lol, and rda prime was years before that where he won 5 times before losing to khabib and then winning 5 in a row after and won the belt
@@Graciehunter32 not really tbh RDA was 34 at the time and was looking better than ever and sure neil magny and lawler werent elite , but also he ran through them , destroyed robbie for 5 rounds , and finished many in 1 , and his prime was definitely not before kabob lol , his best peformamces are against pettis n cowboy both which took place after kabob , not to mention he became champ after the khabib fight
Haters will always alter facts to suit their narrative, Colby was beating up a healthy Robbie Lawler with record breaking strikes years ago, Robbier KO Niko Price in his last fight
@@kodokami7 Fr Lawler was still pretty decent in 2019
@@kodokami7 don’t forget to zip up Colby’s pants when you’re done
I actually agree, leon should destroy him based on his last fight with usman but then again mma math does not always work
“It’s never the old man”

Congratulations to Colby Covington for becoming the new undisputed welterweight champion of the world 🏆🎉🎉
I don't see 🙈😔 where
Colby has been training for Leon since the third Usman vs Edwards fight, he was the stand in. Nate even rocked Leon. Although you made alot of good points about Colby. Either way it should be a good fight and card.
THANK GOD YOU MADE THIS VIDEO I WANTED COLBY TO WIN THIS FIGHT SO BAD NOW ITS WRITTEN IN THE STARS
Lucas dawg, just accept that raw American steel is coming in hot, to put a bad bad beating on Leon Scott.
I think the inactivity will slow Colby down early on and he'll lose the first two rounds, like he did in the second Usman fight where he was also coming off a layoff, then he'll turn it up in the 3rd and 4th and by the 5th rd he'll basically be 10-8ing Leon
I 💯 agree
you cant live a healthy life style in england its a fog covered island with no sun and all the food is fried.
You seem to be forgetting how razor close and competitive the Colby vs. Usman fights were and Colby arguably won the 2nd one
He got dropped 4 times 😂😂
Bvllshit 😂🤣🥱
"arguably won" not according to the judges, not according to mma media, not according to large fan polls, not according to anyone unbiased.
Usman outsruck him in every round except round 4 and this isn't an opinion but a FACT.
Usman dropped him twice which is another fact.
Colby needs fans to argue for him the one takedown he got for literally five seconds.
Bottom line is stop being biased, it was a greta fight and competitive but usman absolutely won .
@@Lamebred. 4 times?
@@kalal9922 fair enough, but they were very competitive. I'm just saying the reason he gets credit for the usman fights is because he was more competitive with him than any other welterweight by far til Leon
Colby better NEVER get another shot at that belt after this lost..his bs wrestling and pitty pat punches won't work in this fight... he's losing! 🤷🏾♂️
Colby is getting old thats true
The Lucas curse is about to finally make Colby the champion ffs
Leon is too big for Colby. Honestly, Masvidal would at least have a chance to knock Leon out, Colby will lose a decision or get knocked out.
Izzy was too big and tall for Izzy aswell😂, you casuals hate these fighters just bcoz of their persona, you have 0 knowledge about fighting, all u know is good and bad guys 😂, grow up kid, this world doesn't revolve around your good guy😂
@@zypher9959
Using the 😂 emoji shows a high degree of passive-aggressiveness. Usually found in weak and oversocialized men.
Don‘t care about Colbys fake persona by the way.
Colby, who trains everyday,, clearly takes care of his health, barely cuts any weight and clearly has a clean diet that he doesn't let go of, that is the guy you are mentioning being 35. Come on dude, Colby is the last guy who would be affected at age 35. I know people think him defending takedowns from Usman who has fucked up knees, just got brutally knocked out, and gives up on a takedown as soon as it fails one time, it's not gonna work against Colby.
Usman literetaly cheated vs Colby in the first fight, and got robbed in the second fight. There is no LucasTracy curse, the curse is you just making picks based on paper stats.
Anyways, Leon 48-47 split decision.
Colby isn't the only UFC fighter that trains everyday and takes care of his health and has a clean diet. That's basically most of them. Colby fans act like he's the only one which is funny
@@lucastracymma8764Thank u for picking Leon to win
@@lucastracymma8764😂 Colby isn't cutting 20-25lbs of water weight every fight. He also isn't on PEDS which are huge factors.
No, but you are acting like most of them do it on the lvl Colby does, they clearly don't and the biggest factor which you don't mention, Colby cuts no weight, that will 100% affect his longevity. It's the small things that matter.
You aren't going to be having fighters perform the way Colby will 36/37, the reason Heavyweights can go longer isn't because they have power, it's because they cut no weight.
How am i a Colby fanboy when i pick Leon? I'm not biased and i don't pick based on who i hate, unlike someone.
@@lucastracymma8764
Colby is going to dominate Leon bro wtf you talking about. Your way off on this one mark my words ;)
You haven’t brought up his Demian Maia win, demaian went 3-1 in his next 4 after Colby
Against bums
@@kenwahldhlamini8102 Lyman good had a 2-1 UFC record, Anthony Rocco Martin had a 8-4 UFC record and went on to beat Emeev in his next fight which is a good win, and Ben Askren was a ranked fighter at the time.
I don’t think Leon is going to lose because Colby is better than him in the octagon I think Leon has a weak mind and Colby is going to absolutely devastate him in press conferences and pre-fight meetings and interviews and it’s going to break Leon down mentally. Leon will come out not much different then Jose Aldo did with McGregor extremely tight and just completely out of character and it’s going to gas him out quick. Like you said if Colby can land multiple takedowns and dominate the ground that will Fully break Leon and Colby might even sub him idk. That’s my scenario for Colby to win and for some reason I feel pretty confident it’s exactly what’s going to happen.
My son had to write a whole fan fiction to explain how Colby wins lmaooo
@@gabriellobo-berg9322 haha that’s basically what I did isn’t it 😜😂😂
Colby has no ammo for that press conference to get in Leon's head. All he's got is losing twice to the guy Leon beat twice.
@@suf1an658 shit dude how many times do you hear Colby say something that is completely factual? And besides he has got a little ammo considering Leon has literally clogged up that whole weight division. I’m not master on the mic like some of these ufc fighters and honestly would probably mirror Leon in how he handles interviews and stuff so I’m not the best one to think of shit for Colby to talk but I’d say he will be Able to squeeze his way in there some how or another lol. I’m more excited about this fight than the job Jones one by a long shot! Not to mention costa and chimaev ohhhweeee we got a couple months of gold ahead of us.
Honestly if you allow yourself to get "mentally broken" by Colby's prewritten st-st-stuttering practice in the mirror lines at this point you deserve to lose 🤷🏻♂️
Not even the Lucas Tracy curse can stop Leon from getting this W. 🤷♂️
I have to agree Leon is just better, he has the phisycal attributes, striking, fight iq, grappling, more power in hia shots and Colby does have the wrestling and cardio, but even his chin is starting to fade slowly and he doesn't have the strength and size that Usman has, like he might have the skill but he doesn't have the strength and he isn't the best with leg kicks and we all know what Leon will do to them, I have Leon winning 49-46 or a late stoppage.
But it too late since Lucas is so strongly believe Leon going win and now it over leon
@@lxstcheckll9348I know Leon's done for 😂
You do remember what age DC won the belt right ? Or how old Alex V is ? Going by age means nothing look what a beast Yoel Romero is at his age it all depends how you keep your body and Colby is consistently in the gym your take is horrible bud
The TRUTH about Colby is Exposed. Colby barely treading water. Can't wait to see BORZ slap his face! Let's go BORZ
This guy is useless, just predicts the wrong winner each and every time. Can’t even get a 50/50 decision right half the time.
Colby style of chain wrestling is much different and harder to defend then usmans
Also leaves his chin more exposed
Hey Lucas. Can you explain why your picks are consistently trash, yet you keep posting with such confidence? It’s incredible really.
Can’t spell Lucas without an L
bro PERFECTLY predicts the fight starting at 9:34
SPOT ON. LMAO. You killed this one!!! Leon is currently in prime time.
colby being 35 isn’t gonna effect anything with the fact that volk izzy,dustin usman,benal, pereira,jon jones, Gaethje, Jan, have all been champions despite all been the same ages as colby or older
If i was a fighter I’d literally pay you not to bet on me
You always come in clutch giving me something to listen to while cooking or doing dishes
Nooooooo why you curse our boy Leon like that. Now I gotta pray he don't lose to that jock sniffer.
Thanks to Lucas for picking Leon to win 😂😂 can’t wait for December
