I mean obviously I would. I love fights and elite fighters more so. But I don't really pine for much and certainly not fighters.

Khabib has aged out of his prime and while he coaches and trains, not having trained for a fight or competed in years is a huge deal. He even said he's been trying to stay below 205lbs...he got beeeeg. Leon is no pushover, he's got the defensive wrestling, cardio, size and athleticism which is something Khabib never really had to go against in the UFC. Serious lack of good defensive wrestlers, well conditioned fighters and solid athletes during his run. Would it surprise me if he beat Leon? No, often Leon looks really underwhelming but I wouldn't favor Khabib at this point either.

I think Khabib could come back and beat Colby though.

I don't understand why people still overlook Leon's defensive grappling. He just went against the two best wrestlers in the division and won due to the factors you mentioned.

The major curveball that Khabib (and Islam) can throw at Leon is a fairly diverse arsenal of trips and throws from the clinch or against the fence that D1/D2 wrestlers don't really utilize much.

Add to that the significant time Khabib has taken off and I wouldn't bet against Leon.

Belal is a better wrestler than both of them
 
This delusion… it’s really gotten laughable at this point.

Ronda rousey saying she’d beat Floyd in a fight might remain the ultimate delusion in martial arts history but yeesh. Some crazy takes out there.

Khabib's greatest accomplish is and always will be his win over McGregor.

All three current champs at 170-205 finish Khabib. Lol at the size difference against Alex that would be hilarious, that first leg kick will put Khabib in a wheelchair.

Why are you saying 170-205? The Title pretty clearly states 170. Edwards is not on Khabib's level wrestling wise and if Khabib bulked up a little bit, i could see him mauling Leon. And i bet Khabib would have a better chance of taking Alex down numerous times than Alex would have of hurting Khabib with leg kicks enough to make him quit.
