Having Aljo announce “KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR” is hilarious to me 😝
Tony Ferguson said he gonna cut Paddy's hair with his elbows 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏 brilliant
Based
He gon dye it red
Tony will defend his losing streak
@@outsider52 what you do everyday 🤣
Its actually crazy the longevity of Wobderboy, still here fighting top competition!
Not crazy, i mean Glover same and was champ with 42 years old
That's talent and good training. Burns could sub younger Magny but not Thompson because he's still at this caliber.
@@mystermont2019 bro Thompson is a 6 to 1 underdog. Unrealistic!
He is about to lose tonight though
@@waltertan5307 we dont know that
"Everyone gets punched in the face until they have a plan" - Tony Ferguson
Haha had to do a double take on that one- nice
lol!!! you almost had me replying to trash you but then realized your comment was brilliant! haha!
hahahaha i loled hard; brilliant comment
🤣😂😂
Sting like a butterfly, float like a bee
They really reuploaded because they got the captions wrong 💀
😂
Yeah that was weird it's like they didn't want us to hear colby say he's just playing a character.. kinda sketchy
@@hska7 because that's not what he said
Whaaaaat. When in the video? @@hska7
@realmate23 yeah it was your wwe character is shook and showing up for a paycheck
They cut off the part of colby saying “I was in character”😂 7:49
wow lmao
because he didnt say it
scandalous
@@mountainshark2388 he did
@mountainshark2388 yes he did stop being delusional your guys showing up for a paycheck and will probably retire after... And still 👌👌
What a card to finish the year.
They took it down and reuploaded it without Colbys “I was in character/thought I was a character” I see you UFC
whatd he say then @@realmate23
True😂
He wrote the two things most people think he said. Have you got a third suggestion?
He said "thought it was a character"
Yep in the Russian upload, you can clearly hear him say it twice. UFC didn't like that
They took off Colby saying he was in character 😂
because that's not what he said
He said “thought it was a character?” Doubles down on Leon getting emotional over a character. Changes the context entirely
@@realmate23 Then instead of removing it they should have changed the subtitle you spud :)
@@gdrgdrgdgrdhe still didn’t say he was in character just admit u were wrong
Definitely not what he said
I love how they casually stand back there. If boat-loads of money weren't on the line, there wouldn't be enough security guards to keep Leon and Colby apart backstage.
I seriously can’t wait for Shavkat vs Thompson!! That’s gonna be fireworks in the cage
Def no fireworks coming from wonder boy tho 😊
@@mariaguadalupe5791 oh he’s gonna try at least, I’d like to stay neutral but I’m a big Nomad fan 😁
@@handsomefatboy he might throw a kick or 5 but def no firework punches coming from him tho
@@mariaguadalupe5791 I’d love to hear your perfect analysis
I doubt it, dude. It's a mismatch
Ian Garry’s nutritionist told him to pull out. Ian just didn’t realize he didn’t mean the fight😂
Lame
@@mrspiff6955amazing
Goated comment
He told him to pull out when making the kid and he pulled in
His nutritionist is his wifes ex husband.
Excited for this event and dreading this coming month of no UFC 😢
You not watching the fight night Jan.?
2 weeks not a month

6:49 I couldn’t keep a straight face w Brandon either 😂
Congrats on all the awards Leon, well n truly deserved! 🇬🇧
Colby reuniting
still need colbys head on leons shin.
They cut the part where Colby Cuntvington says "it's just the character, man."
Tony, I hope you get it done ✔️
HAHA you guys edited out "Thought it was a character?" 7:50 😂
*I was playing a character
@@hska7 Negative. He was definitely saying " I thought it was a character?!"
@@jcrosslin8wrong. It's still on ufc Russias channel you can see his lips and the caption
Conor mcgregor: it's only business Colby covington: I was in character
They're all smoke and mirrors
And still for leon
Drake says otherwise.
AND NEW
@@yona1anand still
Absolutely buzzing for this Whole Card!! Best of luck to all. Let’s Go Team Leon Rocky Edwards!! 🤞🙏👊
“I was in character” “I was in character” "See you tomorrow"
he was saying you thought i was a character?
He was. If you look closely at the end he's got his finger to his head like a gun Taunting Leon. @@jfleming6870
@@Missyoumum917 OK dude.
Why is Leon walking like Masvidal in the end 😂😂
He even called Colby outback stage after presser, to give a 3 piece and soda 😂
He's trying to act cool 🤣
Imagine knock out of the year went to omalley 🤣
Lol they cut out the "I thought it was a character? I thought it was a character??" moment from Colby referring to when Leon called him Stifler and said "He’s just a character that’s funny and a clown" UFC initially subtitled the moment "I was in character. I was in character" from Colby like he was trying to apologize somewhat or diffuse the controversial remarks. The fact that UFC cut out the whole moment rather than put in the correct subtitles suggests they're doing damage control for one of their favorites
Also shows Colby's lack of class.
Hyped for this card
So they really deleted the part where Colby said “I was in character” wow lol
Because the thats not what he said, he said “i thought i was a character” to mock leon using his own words
@@snoopshrek8315*Thought it was a character?
@@snoopshrek8315 Ye ye sure
@@snoopshrek8315 That isn't what he said. I have rewatched the clip. He says I was in character TWICE very clearly. He also broke character after fighting Usman and said, "I was just trying to sell it for you, its all love." Do you have an excuse for this one as well? Also how did you enjoy the fight last night? Did you enjoy watching Colby lose?
I WAS IN CHARACTER
I thought it was a character, he said that then did the finger gun to the head in a mocking tone, but stay delusional, and stay hydrated because your tears will be delicious tonight
Delusional? lol time for you to find another character to follow. Casually🤷♂️ @@snoopshrek8315
Glad there’s no beef and so much sportsmanship by royval and pantoja
Colby made this whole card more interesting in one line
im tired of all these racists in the UFC, where is the BLM movement when you actually need it. We need to STOP the BLACK HATE NOW.
'Ufc Russia' still has colby saying he was in character.... quick ufc go delete quick 😂😂😂😂
He said “thought it was a character”
@@johns.5298regardless he's a coward
@@Freiheit1232Leon’s dad was a coward for being a criminal
@@dogestranding5047 Colby is a coward for showing up to a championship fight and not trying to actually win.
The reality is, colby is playing a character. And that's probably why he said what he said. But he crossed the line, you dont disrespect a mans father dead or alive. Simple.
But his dead dad was a disgusting criminal, so it's totally OK.
Leon looks ripped. I can't recall Colby coming across someone as big as him. I think it's the counter to Colbys tank.
Colby is a relatively small welterweight
Did you not see him against usman ?
@@kagomehigurashi693 Leon is a lot bigger than Usman. Usman literally had no legs as well cause his knees are shot to hell
@@BlueBellsRBlue Leon is just taller longer usman is more bulky
@kagomehigurashi693 top side pal. Usman had no legs, he was all upper body. And yes, he was shorter and he had a much smaller reach. Leon also walks around about 8 to 10 lbs heavier than usman. Leon is by far the biggest opposition Colby has faced that I am aware of.
Pantoja seems very genuine. Brother knows its gonna be a war and lives for it. No hatred and trashtalk needed
I am excited for this card , its the best card to close the year .
Bro they just deleted the original and posted this having cropped out the part where colby tells leon he was just in character
because that's not what he said
"Thought it was a character?"*
Camera man knows what's up 8:30
Looks like wonderwoman.. hot 🔥
This is sketchy as fuck we know what Colby said “I was in Character”
He was mocking leon saying “i thought i was a character”
@@snoopshrek8315 nooo lmao
@@snoopshrek8315 Ye keep telling yourself that lol. If that was the case why reupload it and cut it out>
@@snoopshrek8315 now Colby will be mocked for the rest of his life was it worth saying this about Leon’s dad?
Congratulations Leon for knock out of the year!!🎉. Well deserved Rocky!
& international fighter of the year and Comeback of the year🎉
ya that was a damn good knock out for rocky
Adesanyas knockout was way better
Hell yeah this card is fire
They removed the part where Colby said "I was in character, I was in character-" before "-see you tomorrow"
Right?!
Damn… the crowd was booing both of them!😂😭
"I was in character, i was in character"
wrong.
that's not what he said
"Thought it was a character"
"Please Leon I was in character, stop beating my face in please! It was just a prank bro!"
Why would he backtrack then immediately use the finnger gun headshot dead? He was clearly mocking him saying “thought i was a character”
Ive always said, the UFC has the best editors in the game 🤣
DAMN!!! The chick at 8:29 Gotta love Vegas
This will be a very interesting main event.
They reuploaded this and took away the comments about being in character in the end
'Don't let him bully you son.' 😄
He says “I was in character” I dunno why you guys are fooling yourselves.
Then why did they edit it? They have the whole clip so they probably went back to listen better to what he actually said, and looks like they were wrong at first.
@@YehovaFirstwhat are you talking about? They edited out him saying” l was in character” altogether to preserve the gimmick. They didn’t fix anything with closed captions that’s what KZhead does automatically
WHAT.A.CARD!
I thought I watched this already I thought I was tripping. Someone in the comments said it was a re-upload and I was like ‘Good I'm not tripping’ 😂
Great card.
This hAs to deliver
Looks like the edited out the "It was a character" part. He definitely didn't say that it appears.
Lol, they cut the part in the face off where colby says "i was in character"
Even dehydrated Leon's body is prime aesthetics
Leon bout to enter a different level tonight cant wait
yeah... colby is done
Respect UFC for correcting their mistake 🇺🇸
Can’t wait for tonight!! I’m literally gonna take a nap, so the time goes by faster ! 😂
Almost time now
Ok Colby literally said he was in character
They took off Colby saying “I was in characters.”
because that's not what he said
"Thought it was a character?"
"I was in character." While ready to dial 911 lol
He didnt say that
Tony Ferguson looking like the “Corey Feldman” of UFC
props to the cameraman 8:32
Who's editing these? They are leaving out key context moments!
Dont let him bully you son
Dang, we can literally hear rogan’s tonsils rattling around
The Colby, Hunter hug was interesting
Hella stoked for this fight cause Leon took it beyond and personal so this card's def going down in ufc history
"Leon took it beyond and personal." Maybe because your boy made it personal by disgustingly saying his late father is in hell?
@@Obiodum_ That was a vile comment to say the least and nowhere I condoned with what Colby said other than you squating and nitpicking. Leon took it beyond and personal so this fight gonna be insane
Leon is going for a flying knee!
They need to put a wireless mic on Dana's shoulder. We need that audio from both fighters.
I'll have to check this post in the morning. But, I'm thinking Karren Kahos Kuntington by decision
War Chaos
THE 7TH LAYER OF HAIR
Dana 's Jacket looks ACE!! Amsterdam is Totally READY for a Smashing 296 guys
4 sure he was in the top 10 off all time coz who he did it to 🎉
Joe needs to clear his throat he sounded like Chewbacca when he said Leeeeeooon!! 😂
Pantoja really look like good person
I was in character incident 😂
Wow... Who is using a Sony A6400!??! amazing ... pretty cool they're using it for real production.
I thought I was high as usual and saw this earlier today wtff ufc
When Colby talked about Leon's dad R.I.P it was at that moment he knew he messed up .. Colby is getting slept never should have said that
Proper Pronoun addicts be cry’n 😭
Hes gunna regret not having taken a tune up fight. Honestly I think that mental attack backfired. he laid too much on the table and is gunna be rusty...bad combo!
@@kingjames1586 Colby Lost 🤣😂🤣
@@ClassyNasty who cares?
Nice cut 4 Colby tho :DD Was wondering why the reupload :D Guys, its the internet... Its out :D
Colby's comment was uncalled for. He's lucky he said what he did on US soil.
Don’t look for a touch of gloves at the beginning, a handshake at the end for this one.
"That man is as good as dead tomorrow." Leon taking a page out of the Conor-Poirier trilogy. Lol
*Funny seeing Leon and colby standing backstage not even looking at each other, and then they walk out on stage and all of the sudden they're trying to get at each other. What a joke.*
Not taking antrhing away from Leon but wasn't that ko in August of 22 so it should be in the conversation for this year
Why it was cut when Colby said to Edwards. It was a character x2 ????
They removed the part where Colby says “I was in character” like a scared boy. They don’t want the facade to break just yet.
When did he say that?
At the faceoff @@kevink.3967
He didn't say that
@@kevink.3967 He said it in the face-off in the original video, but they took it down and cut it out.

colby done lets go leon
for sure that was Leons plan.. until Colby ragdolls him over and over because he is too invested in hurting him
Colby W by DQ
Colby fans are such dorks lol
Ladies and gentlemen, has anyone kept count of how many times Joe Rogan said “ladies and gentlemen” 😂
That character bit is such a small thing why reupload it? We all know Colby is playing a character😂
Cos the UFC think we're stupid
Settle it Leon, teach my man some manners but fight with ur head, not with anger. UK got ur back 💯
He only says 4 words and you can hear "I". Pretty clearly. It's still on the ufc page, I just filtered it and turned up the volume. He says "I was in character" twice then "see you tomorrow". So idk where yall are getting "thought" from.
When Leon walked up to the scale it looks like his leg is injured
Yeah just noticed they cut out the part Coby says "Thought I was a character?" 2X
