How did he go from standing up for himself, chasing Dana down in a casino, having his TS "set in stone" and then almost immediately having a non title fight booked with Robbie?
 
It happens to everyone. Colby just recorded everything.
 
lol he learned the lesson that all the smart ones learn. dont fuck with the boss or you will get starved out.
 
Usman ducked,not fighting anytime soon and tries to get Askren fight at all cost to dodge colby.. just a paycheck for colby
 
IDK but I hope he gets violently KO'd by Robbie.
 
Probably realized he can't keep hiring hookers to hoverhand on his instagram unless he gets paid.
 
1. Because the champ is out another 6 months
2. Because Colby has already sat for a year
3. Colby says it's for his Interim Title, so he gets to call it a "title shot"

My first gut reaction was "haha, Colby blinked first, what an ass!" But upon further review, it's really a win all around. They danged just enough to Colby to get him to fight, Lawler needs a fight, UFC needs a main event, and it's a decent fight for the fans.
 
Colby would be a terrible champion anyway. He wanted his first title defense to be against mike perry lol
 
He should wear the belt during the walk to the cage... and if he wins have a cornerman put it around his waist and call out his next contender... would at least make him interesting...
 
Usman is injured right now, but it's still pretty strange when he talked about his next fight being for the title just a couple of days ago. I wouldn't be shocked to see Lawler spring an upset here. He looked great against Askren, and I don't believe Covington has the same level of submissions. Very interesting fight, but what's forgotten in all this is that Askren could potentially get the next shot with a win over Masvidal. :D
 
I don't think Robbie will have too much trouble with Colby.
 
This is what happens when you posture but have zero leverage.

Except he does have leverage, that's how he got the fight against Lawler in the first place. UFC has stretched itself too thin and there's no one else available to headline the card. Colby almost certainly is getting paid very well for the fight.
