is it pretty much confirmed Colby has the MMA world emotionally invested?

[DontForgetMe]

No, its cringe-worthy and ironic watching a nerdy White boy wrestler lead a nerd bash.

 

[Silverstar17]

He was in a title fight and the PPV did not draw at all. So I would say no.

And barely 100k followers hardly constitutes celeb status.

So all in all I would say most of the people who watch MMA do not really care about him.

He might even get stripped now which shows that the UFC is not convinced of his starpower either.

 

[FireKidWS]

Still less than Mike Perry, who is not even trying.

This is not a fair example.

Compare any fighter, nah any person to Platinum Mike Perry and they will look human.

Don’t compare a god to mere mortals.

The mma world that is 80 percent UFC casuals wouldn't care if he disappeared, let alone lose.

 

[POWER2]

I give zero shits.

 

[moreorless87]

The mma world that is 80 percent UFC casuals wouldn't care if he disappeared, let alone lose.

What it tends to highlight as well is that even if "casual" is thrown around as a slur its often actually the hardcore fanbase you see on Sherdog who are way easier to manipulate.

 

[HelloJapan]

You're bragging about him having 98K Instagram followers...

Btw, Anderson has 2.7 MILLION, and he hasn't fought in a year and a half.

First sign of trouble and the UFC is looking to put Till in...THAT's how much impact he's had. Your boy is irrelevant.

 

[HelloJapan]

I know strippers from work who have more Instagram followers than that.

I know mothers that have more followers...

 

[podsox]

Closing in on 6 figures. Btw he’s closer to 0 followers than 100k on twitter. That alone says his character is failing miserably everywhere but sherdog. Till has fought his entire ufc career on fight pass up until the wonderboy fight (that was on a Sunday)and his numbers are bigger

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

or yknow, everyone just thinks he's a cringy joke.


lol at thinking anyone except brazilians are upset at this clown, and brazilians are the easiest people in the world to upset.

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

Kinda sad how he's not a draw no matter how hard he's been trying. PPV numbers not so good

 

[Bobbybackpack]

People are hopelessly triggered by him. It was hilarious especially before the RDA fight.

Especially after when he won.

 

[chuckleknuckle]

The King of Chaos doesn't give a fuck what anybody thinks about him.

he has sex twice everyday with two different women, he doesn't need the approval of some cheeto eating nerds that live in their mothers basement

welcome to the Chaos era

Boomerang.

 

[bad seed]

Present day, Colby is closing in on six figures with 98k Instagram followers.

so he has less followers than random instagram "plus size models" like this girl?


man, mma is a pathetically insignificant little world.

 

[Bobbybackpack]

Hmmmm. I didn't think it worked but I would like to watch him lose now that you speak about it.
I still don't think his act is overly effective though.
100k followers is small for a celebrity.

Its good for a UFC fighter. UFC fighters aren't necessarily celebrities as such. Less you're a certain Irishman.

Agreed

 

[MeatheadFighter]

You're trying way too hard and it's embarrassing. I wouldn't be surprised if TS is Colby himself or someone associated with him just really trying to make people care.

 

[GrantB13]

People can't think for themselves and for some damn reason in this society we somehow give more money to people we hate. Colby is becoming famous because we hate him and that's completely retarded.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

The problem with this bullshit heel strategy is that you want people to pay to watch your fights just in case you lose. The obvious drawback is that, when you can't actually fight, nobody is campaigning for your return or complaining that someone else got your spot. Losing his interim belt and getting thrown back at the end of the queue will be catastrophic for his already shaky brand.

That being said:

Present day, Colby is closing in on six figures with 98k Instagram followers.

People spend their time mocking Mighty Mouse's PPV numbers and his lack of mainstream appeal, and he has 778k followers. So what is Covington's image worth when he gets eight times less followers?

 

[fightfan84]

6 months ago Colby had 30k Instagram followers-“lol Colby is a loser no one cares”

Present day, Colby is closing in on six figures with 98k Instagram followers.

He decides to delay the Woodey fight by a month or two and now all of a sudden everyone is freaking out that he’s “ducking” or won’t fight woodley ever, despite woodley being one of the most disliked and least cared about champions.

it’s almost like Colby’s behavior and shtick has made people.... want to watch him...

He has less then a 100k followers kn insta? Lololol what a joke. Also hes getting stripped of his fake belt anyway. Guys boring as shit he would be horrible for the sport as a champion. Let it go man. You tried hard for 6 months to push this guy on sherdog and it just didn't stick. The plat nation got more followers from sherdog then you got for Colby.
