“I think if Leon's smart, he'll go out here and do mixed martial arts, mix it up. Obviously, Leon's a striker, but I think he has really good takedowns, too. He took down [Kamaru] Usman, he took down Colby [Covington]. He's taken down a good amount of people, so I think if he's smart, he'll mix it up, not just go out there and try to strike the entire time with Prates, because if you do that, you're giving Prates the opportunity to finish you, and we've seen how good he is on the feet.Obviously, in the Ian Garry fight, Ian was able to take him down, and I think Leon can have the same path. I'm going to pick Leon, I do think he's going to win”
