He doesn't have the most entertainment-friendly style, we all know that.
But how impressive are his ranked wins?
IMO, his win over DHK was very good. Showed phenomenal wrestling and conditioning, and smothered out DHK's superior striking.
His win over Maia was his most questionable one because he got pieced up a bit by a BJJ expert, but in the end his superior wrestling and cardio got him another win. Pretty good slugfest actually.
His win over RDA was another great showcase. Again he didn't look phased by another superior striker and went ahead and imposed his gameplan.
I'm worried about his style against Woodley though. Woodley can easily explode and break him off the wall-n-stall exchanges. Woodley doesn't typically take control of center cage but he will in this fight. Colby's got a good chin but he's gonna have to take some hits. He takes big shots in every fight but never gets phased by them, he's never fought anyone who hits as hard as Woodley.
