Colby’s Last Stand

[ComeChooDaddy]

This is it. He’s gotta win the title or else he’s irrelevant. He knows this and the pressure is either going to make or break him. I’m going with Leon by 3rd round TKO. Colby’s gonna take after his Uncle Chael and always be #2.

 

[Contempt]

The butthurt that's going to result from having both Colby and Strickland as champs just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

He'll probably become Mayor of some town in Florida

 

[Luthien]

Yeah he talked too much this time, has to win

 

[Elvis.]

Sure , big pressure on Colby . But it’s big pressure on Leon too , if he loses tonight no way does he get the instant rematch, he may never climb the mountain again

 

[Poatan Power]

He's turning 36 in a month or two. Even if he wins he won't be relevant for long.

He did ok.

Betting a finish by Leon is pretty impressive given his recent fight history

Usman (decision)
Usman (KO)
2021 Nate Diaz (decision)
Belal (NC)
2019 RDA (decision)
Gunnar Nelson (decision)
2018 Donald Cerrone (decision)
Peter Sobotta (TKO) (who???)
Bryan Barberena (decision)
2017 Luque (decision)
Tumenov (decision)
2016 Waters (decision)

Lest we forget that before he KO'ed Usman he was best known for getting rocked by Nate Diaz and being the most boring contender at 170.

I feel like the UFC would drag it out for a few fights like they did with Masvidal… could always match him up with Machado Garry

 

[CPH]

Edwards should have capitalized on this during the presser and been absolutely relentless with it. Under the mask, Colby is thinking these thoughts and feeling the pressure.

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

I’m not against Colby. I don’t even think twice about the trash talk and what he said at the press conference. He earned my complete respect with the way he came out swinging with a broken jaw in the 4th round of that first Usman fight.

Does Sean Brady sound like a reasonable comeback fight if he loses? I think he should retire. Save the brain.

This is all true, however, Colby has been dropped or wobbled 5 times in his last four fights. He is due to get that chin cracked.

Nah, the last several years prove he doesn't need to do anything to be relevant as long as Dana likes him.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

If he gets smoked in this, even Pink Goof will have a hard time getting him another title shot in the future.

Yeah irrelevant is a bad term. Conor hasn’t moved the needle in over 7 years and is still somehow a headline the moment he speaks.

His boxing defense is not great. He seems to get caught in that intermediate space. That being said, Usman has power and Masvidal is a very experienced striker who worked with Colby for years.

I guess it's a wash who knows lol

 

[LiQuiD42]

It’s do or die for Colby’s career tonight. I am not invested in either fighter persay. I’m just pumped to see who was telling me the truth in the pre fight buildup. If Colby wins it will be hilarious, if he loses it will be hilarious.

We need Colby, Strickland and Conor as champs all at the same time

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Even with a loss I’m sure he can find his way back. The UFC always has a path for its stars to a title shot

 

[Spiderbite]

Who cares?

Welterweight has been stuck in the mud for years now, with the same guys rematching over and over.
At least Masvidal decided to walk away because i'm sure if Leon won tonight, that would have been on his radar.

I have no doubt in my mind, regardless who wins tonight, we aren't getting a defense until late next year.

 

[richardjohnson]

He's getting a TS despite not fighting for nearly two years. Even if he loses tonight I think he could work his way back to a TS.

 

[KOPPE]

he will be fine. look at loser Tony, he is still main carding the biggest ppvs
