The man has a great record of 15-1 with nearly half by way of submission or knockout. He also has a fighting style with a lot of activity, attempting 515 strikes against Lawler showing great cardio and volume. He brings it everytime.
People criticise his pillowfists but then why doesn't any fighter walk him down? Because he has deceptive power and great wrestling, his TD accuracy is better than even Khabib's at 51% compared to Khabib at 47%. Look at his fight against Maia, does Maia look like he got hit by pillowfists?
This is also a guy who doesn't cut a lot of weight and fights at his natural weight class and Sherdog hates a fighter who has a massive size advantage, so Colby deserves respect for that. He could easily cut to 155 and be elite there if he really dedicated himself.
He also makes an effort to promote himself unlike a lot of fighters who cry to the UFC about a lack of promotion. He took initiative and has become one of the most entertaining personalities in the sport. Maybe he's not as good at trash talking like Chael, but he is improving and brings it in terms of talk and in the cage.
Colby is not the hero we deserve, he's the hero we need.
If you are not a fan of Colby, you are not a true MMA fan.
Colby bless!
