I dont support Colbys remarks but consider this: I used to be obsessed with UFC, but about 2 years ago things started to get stale for me so I started splitting my fight watching between boxing, kickboxing and MMA, now I only know about upcoming MMA fights when it either involves a title or 2 top 5 guys. Colby is a young guy who just got a win over Maia in Brazil. I had no idea that happened because I probably glanced over the card and said "well I guess they are giving Maia a can to choke out to get him back on track."No one is paying for a Colby Covington fight lmao.
To play the heel you actually have to be good in the cage.
Now because of his Brazilophobia not only do I know who he is, I know he beat Maia and has a ton of potential to be an MMA great. Like I said, I dont support his remarks at all but this is classic playing the heel to build emotional investment in his fights and promote himself.
