Colby Covington is still radio silent

[SouthpawSouthernFist]

No communication from him whatsoever, no interviews or anything.

How much money does he think he's going to get from good ole' Jorge? 100 mil? Seems like he's undermining his own career to stay mum for this legal case.

Or maybe he's just waiting until Khamzat fights so he doesn't have to face him, or he's waiting for the title to change hands, and doesn't want to face a top contender.

Or maybe he figures, the title is out of reach, no super fights for $$$ are available, so he might as well milk this legal case to steal as much money from Jorge as possible.

What do you guys believe his thought process to be?

 

[PlasticFishBowl]

He’s getting old and it’s been shown he isn’t champ material. Try to get a good settlement and wait around for a money fight or two. If unable to get one, retire.

Avoid Khamzat and Shavkat at all costs.

 

[Tapatio]

He's suffering from PJSD - Post Jorge Stress Disorder

 

[Pechan]

He can't be going around talking shit or taking fights if he is gonna claim brain damage.

Yea I get that, but to do that he has to stay quiet, which hurts his celebrity profile and social media presence. Kind of like he's killing his career to make some quick cash, which I can't imagine is going to be a large amount of in the end.

He's been quiet for what, four months now or more?

He’s probably been advised by his legal representation to stfu , if he does an interview but refuses to run off at the mouth about certain things that would diminish the heel character that he’s created for himself

 

[Jawth]

I doubt Gamebred has a 100 million.

But yeah, he is shutting up and concentrating on the lawsuit. Any reporter would be sure to ask about it and he isnt going to show his cards or take a risk about making conflicting comments.

I was actually hoping for Colby vs. Belal....not sure who he fights now. Maybe Poirier, but i think Dustin has moved on to the Chandler fight.

 

[Tito Tapped]

It's gotta be a hard life to try and keep up with that schtick 24/7. He's probably enjoying a real life and knows that when he does "return" it'll be a big deal.

Sounds about right. Can’t really fault him for it. He’s still a sick head though.

 

[Tweak896]

Last name he's spoken was Dustin Poirier at LW. Colby wants nothing to do with the new breed at WW. Don't even remember him mentioning Khamzat exists.

 

[Local Plata]

Waiting for contenders to clear each other out so he has a clear lane for an easy fight to pretend he's a contender.

 

[Can’t Handle My Riddum]

He’s trying to ruin Jorge and his legal team have said to say quiet.

But you’re right. If this drags on, as many legal battles do, will he be spending him prime doing fuck all?

 

[USA!USA!]

Colby going to make Jorge's wallet tap out.

 

[SouthpawSouthernFist]

Waiting for contenders to clear each other out so he has a clear lane for an easy fight to pretend he's a contender.

True. I don't think he wants anything to do with Burns, Khamzat, Shavkat, Luque, etc.

He gave Usman two of his toughest fights, hes championship material clearly you goof but hes not better than Usman.... You know the guys thats currently #1 p4p. No shame in that but once Usman is gone, Colby has a real chance at being champion.

To be silent and focus on his legal case and on training. Can't also focus on media too, even social media. It takes away from those more important things. Besides if he did media people would start asking him about the case, and any good lawyer will tell you to not talk about the case in public as long as the case hasn't concluded yet. Whatever you say could possibly be used against you in court.

who cumshot? colby was vocal about him, he aint fighting no hype train with quick push just so cumshot could steal some shine. he will waint untill he proves himself to fight him

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

He’s still re-learning how to communicate and feed himself, give him a break!

 

[Iroh]

True. I don't think he wants anything to do with Burns, Khamzat, Shavkat, Luque, etc.

Luque is not nearly as close of a threat as the other 3 and I doubt Colby has a problem facing any of them, if it also makes business sense. Dude is a pro fighter with real confidence in himself. Dude has put in on Usman twice, and never quit despite the adversity he faced in those fights. If you think he is afraid to fight anyone in his weight class, you don't really understand the mindset of an elite fighter. No offense.

He is probably going to bundle in a rebrand and turn face when he comes back. He is smart enoguh to realize his schtick has runs its course and there is little to gain by continuing it.
