If Belal steps in for the trilogy with Luque (as rumored) this could completely change his perception with a great performance.

If he learned to dial it back with the dikk riding the fakkit could've easily been the GOAT WW next to Usman and GSP.

Sickening.

 

[QBN]

Sickening.

Completely vile and despicable. And his fans will say Leon "overreacted" and that Colby is "just promoting the fight". Justice must be served on Sat night.

 

[Roid Jones]

I need Leon to destroy Colby, I need him to be extra violent..................he's going to lose isn't he
