Colby doesn’t stand a single chance standing; this isn’t Usman or Masvidal. Edwards’ strikes are another level and there’s also elbows and knees. If Colby can’t walk through those strikes or get the shoot openings, I’d say this will be a very different fight to what we’re used to. I think there’s some punch-kick, punch-knee combos to the same side coming Colby’s way, nothing like he’s used to with the single strikes of people like the aforementioned.
I think if Edwards’ power is established in the first round, it’s going to be a brutal night so long as the emotions stay in check. If Leon keeps to his patient style, Colby’s sloppy striking has openings for him all night, which is why Colby wants him riled and wild.
Really hope Colby gets a reckoning tonight.
