All of Covington's Best Wins are Against Over the Hill Guys

[kingofthecans]

He's still around? Who the fuck knew!?

Yeah he’s probably getting starched in the rematch with Usman.

Don't get me all excited here!

TS speaking nothing but facts but TMZ fans disguised as MMA fans will never admit it. I'm almost rooting for Colby to beat Usman only because Colby has garnered a fanbase almost entirely from talking shit while sitting on the sidelines. If he manages to win he will no longer be able to duck every legitimate contender in the division.

wat?

Maia, Woodley, Lawler, WW RDA, all past their prime. And he has a shitty, not even clever gimmick. A Trump parody. Doesn't finish anyone. Outlasts opponents via cage press.

But it is effective. He has some sort of following and wins, also won portions of the fight vs Usman. But Kamaru's been improving his stand-up under Whitman, so a bigger beating than last time is coming up. Maybe he drops down to LW after that or lures Poirier to WW, if Oliveira beats him.

Just like conor, jones, ronda etc he's a polarizing fighter.. he was about to get cut for being boring before his retarded maga gimmick..

The only thing more retarded are the people who can't see past a fighters personality when judging their skills..

 

[Misanthropist]

All of Usman's opponents since facing Colby has folded in 2 rounds, he fought them effortlessly and didn't even took them seriously.

Compared to Colby who ate bombs with a broken jaw and was relentless for 5 rounds and gave him a hard time.

Rematch should've been booked immediately after the first fight instead of those bums Usman fought to stat pad.

Damn, it's such a good thing I discovered sherdog forum.
Before that I really thought that there are some really good fighters in the UFC.
Now I know that they all suck.

I think part of the problem he has is that he probably pays too much attention to the online MMA fanbase, its really easy to get attention here with an alt right persona but he simply doesnt have the charisma of Sonnen to get beyond that.

Colby suffers from Gustafsson syndrome, being his most convincing performance was a losing effort to the champ, only unlike Alex, Covington was definitively finished. I’m actually somewhat of a Colby fan, although skeptical of his chances in this next fight, I think he gets mollywalloped this time.

It is. Garbage gets him fans. Sonnen's a politician who fights, has the cleverness and vocabulary to make his opponent look foolish. Did it to Anderson, but Tito got the worst. Colby can't do that, so he has to sink to the gutter.

colby is great, stop seething

trump bless

 

[johny ringo]

Colby bless! I love his stupid gimmick and hopefully he gets that belt

 

[richardjohnson]

wat?

Learn to read English bud, might help ya around here

 

[CPH]

Yet the fella still manages to rattle the life out of people lol.

I doubt that he rattles many people, even on Sherdog. The overwhelming reaction to his self-promotion antics is contempt.

I hope colby loses so he has to start fighting top contenders again. The sit and wait for title shot while Usman cleans house is annoying. I think WW top 10 is not real because these guys are refusing to fight each other.
