Wonderboy? Lmao. A guy that has never sniffed a title, ahead of Leon?
Leon is 14-2 1NC in the UFC. Should be 15-1 1. Lost his debut in a blatant home cooking robbery in Brazil.
Only fight he's ever really lost is the 1st Usman fight. He'd have already broken GSP's WW win streak record if not for Belal quitting and getting the NC.
Leon is already an ATG at 170. Guys like Wonderboy and Lawler with his 14-10 UFC record don't even come close.
What names has Leon beaten in that ”amazing” unbeaten streak?
cerrone on a massive skid, had already gone on a 3 fight loss streak at 170, 48-47 on every scorecard, one year before his massive 155 losing streak started
vicente luque, decent but years before he was ranked and even as a ranked fighter luque has only beaten chiesathe ghost of t wood and old man rda
RDA, pretty good win, but his best years were behind him down a division, and his wins at welterweight weren’t the best (saffiedine who then retired, magny, lawler who went on a 3 fight losing skid, fighter Kevin Lee, colby imo who can only beat old guys)
diaz, 36 year old soybody, hadnt beaten anyone relevant in 5 years since he submitted featherweight mcgregor, still almost finished leon
usman, losing the entire fight until a lucky head kick, then in the trilogy gets a point taken for cheating, but still a great win as he was the champion on his own win streak
i agree Thompson is definitely not ahead of him, lawler most likely not, but Leon is not an all tie great at welterweight unless you think not losing that much is the same as beating top guys
