hence, why I said "in my opinion"...... Colby is obviously a sinking ship that isn't up to snuff in his own weight class, Charles still has a genuine shot at the belt in a year or two considering that Islam is planning on the move up to WW.I think Charles has a fine grasp on his own time expenditure. If he wants the fight then it's obviously worth his time.
If he finishes Colby his starpower will garner a #1 contender fight at 155, even though it'll take place at WW. It's actually a low-risk high-reward for a guy who has lost 2 of 3.Olives deserves a much better title opportunity than Chaos. Ending the drama from the Ian Garry/Layla saga imho would sell much better IF Colby will just step up.
Fair enough. I think finishing Colby puts him back into title contention. Not by logic & merit of course, but rather by fan-clamor & star-power.hence, why I said "in my opinion"......

Jon Jones is not fighting on a card with Colby.MSG would be dope.
Thanks for manifesting this
That's exactly why I'm fine with it, but why is Colby allowed to call out a 155er?Colby haters should rejoice. if Oliveira beats him his reign as a contender is over. if he beats Oliveira it does absolutely nothing for him.
Ian trains at Chuteboxe when he was in Brazil. Idk if they were close but Olives has seniority. Dibs on Colby's cringe ass.Come on Charles, don’t enable Colby and his ducking of Ian Garry.
You "wouldn't" want him to stay there or would?If Charles takes this fight and wins I wouldn't actually want him to stay 170. It does make sense for Charles in a way that at least he doesn't have to fight backwards at LW. It's a win/win for him.
Colby should be cut for calling out 40 year old WW's and LW's smaller than him, while ducking actual contenders in his division. What value does this guy bring? Them PPV numbers can't be that good. Trade him to PFL for a bag of chips so he can devalue their fight promotion.
I'm ok with him fighting Colby at 170 but I don't think he should make a permanent move to 170. If his next fight is against Colby it's better than fighting backwards at LW and then if he beats Colby at WW he can maybe fight forward again at LW.You "wouldn't" want him to stay there or would?

I'm down to see either guy give Colby an ass whooping but with how hard he is ducking the Garry fight I think it'd be funnier seeing him lose to Ian.Ian trains at Chuteboxe when he was in Brazil. Idk if they were close but Olives has seniority. Dibs on Colby's cringe ass.
Personally I love this fight & have been trying to manifest it since Colby lost to Leon. Not sure where it would happen because UK/Perth/Noche/Spain ?/Abu-Dhabi don't make any sense.
Maybe an ABC card in Brazil in Aug/Sep, ala Whittaker/Khamzat? Would be yuge in Brazil. Also at MSG but that's 6 months away which far too long to wait.
