Covington persona an inside jke

[GordoBarraBJJ]

He's a bum version of a bum version (conor being the bum version of floyd jr., and colby being the bum version of conor).

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

As soon as he loses, "It was all promotion I didn't mean anything!"

 

[DopeZach]

Damn I would've never guessed or even thought of that...

 

[Kryptt]

That info can’t be accurate, and he made 380k. Joke is on us

Overeem lost, got bled for 800k, and was on the prelims, so...are we still laughing?

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Considering UFC 225 did less 150k I would say it isn't working out that well at all.

Many fans, including myself, didn't purchase it because of the sideshow that is CM Punk. Definitely not forking over 60 bucks for any card with him on it. Never will.

That said;you're right in that he isn't really a big draw either.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

That’s like pretending to be gay as a joke, and you have gay sex as part of the joke persona...at that point it’s not a joke you’re just gay.

Hey, Colby has sex only with female pornstars.... ok, he just pays them and doesn't really have sex with them, however let it be clear that's not a virgin nerd thing to do, kk?

 

[TITS]

He can't even get through one sentence without stumbling.

 

[Odoylerules4lyf]

As soon as he loses, "It was all promotion I didn't mean anything!"

"It's just a prank bro!"

 

[kalabula]

It's funny because when Chael did it

People cared

Maybe ppl are desensitized from the act. When Cheal did it,possibly, it seemed a little newer or fresher. Also, I respect Colby's hustle but he's not very good at it.

 

[billharford]

The dude's gotta do something or else he's Jake Shields II making 20K per fight. Conor didn't become CONOR overnight, he had to build himself. Colby's doing the same thing. He's not as good at it, but he's way better than most here give him credit for. If he beats Woodley, he starts becoming a bankable draw.

 

[drbolony]

Poor mans Chael, in terms of the shtick.

That said, his MMA wrestling is legit.

More like post war famine Chael, but yeah.

 

[KeepItRealist]

Considering UFC 225 did less 150k I would say it isn't working out that well at all.

Indeed. At least Conor got paid for selling his dignity.

Colby is making a clown of himself for nothing but MMA message board topics.

 

[TheHNICuLuv2Hate]

Colby has all the former Plastic Nation members dangling from his nuts. How many accounts does Colby have on here?

 

[Keithhackney]

Hes far from lord Chael level with off the head creativity shit talking. His current win streak is his only anchor

Which should matter more than shit talking. Chael never had a win streak like colby. And i hate colby

 

[tatsuke]

The big joke was filming his mom and sister backstage, having a conversation about "their belt", like this is WWE or something.
