Did Colby ruin any chance he had by going after Leon's Dad?

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Huge Colby fan here, but extremely concerned the comment about Leon's dad awoke the killer in Leon.

Leon's going to be vicious in there and emotional, which could lead to mistakes, but Colby doesn't have the power to capitalize on Leon throwing hard. Sure, Colby can piece him up after a missed Leon bomb, but Leon will keep reloading and give himself an opportunity to eventually land the KO shot.

Not sure Colby made the wise choice there.

GOOD FUCK'IM

 

[PhotographyRaptor]

You mean like going to heaven or something?

 

[Leinster Rugby]

I'm pretty sure Leon's goals in the fight haven't changed since that comment

 

[Poatan]

More likely Leon gas out after first round and gets finished

This.

Leon might let emotions get the better of him, but it's just a fight to Colby. Leon's probably gonna get reckless and just put on his back and worn out quick.

[Bobby Boulders]

Leon being emotional isn't a good thing.

He's got to keep his emotions in check.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I think he'll be okay. He checked himself pretty well after the bottle throw so hopefully that translate into him being able to do the same in the octagon as well.

Being emotional in the cage is weakness but it will have no effect on this fight because Leon is not amateur

Leon’s a disciplined man. With most fighters it would work against them but in this case I think it will put a bit of fire in the belly and win him some of the more closer rounds. He has a tendency to get a bit complacent at times but this will work in his favor imo.

Aldo wasnt either.

Not to say this is gonna be that way at all,but everyone's got their limits.

I think though his team will get him in the right headspace. He's got good people around him.

I think he would've been content to sit back and snipe.

Now he seems ready to kill.

That comment changed Leon.

If he KOs Colby he'll for sure land some extra damage à la Hendo on Bisping

 

[Zanmato]

He probably increased the likelihood that Leon will over commit on something and bait him into a takedown where he will have an advantage. Hope not though that was pathetic behaviour

 

[GSPenn1991]

I think Leon is going to have a hard time focusing on the fight. Colby is very intelligent for throwing that low blow.

 

[HHJ]

If he KOs Colby he'll for sure land some extra damage à la Hendo on Bisping

 

[idrankyourbeer]

colby gonna get starched

 

[Striker Fox]

I hope he focuses on the mouth/jaw region

 

[Wormwood]

He already said that will be the case.. something to the effect of the ref will have to pull him off..
