Colby Covington is transcending the heel role to new levels

[Njmma209]

Woodley releases a 10 minute video about how angry Colby has made him and how he’s going Into the fight with intentions of hurting Colby like no opponent before. Basically admitting he is going to fight on emotion which is exactly what Colby wants.—Champ, TyRun triggered

Calls out GOATJones for juicing since college, Jon gets triggered and sends out series of tweets trying not to acknowledge Colby’s stories/legitimacy, while ironically acknowledging him and coming off upset—GOAT triggered

Beats RDA, who has same coach as Bisping. Bisping clearly upset before the interview even starts and tries to attack Colby, Colby makes fun of Bispings eye which visibly upsets Bisping even more who doesn’t usually get emotional when talking crap. Deep down bisping knows he has nothing for Colby since two WWs just brutally retired him—Former champ, analyst, triggered while on set working.

Colby’s self promotion has spiraled him to new levels of infamy in the MMA world. October 2017 he was an unknown—-fast forward 8 months later and everyone is talking about him. Even the ones who tried hardest to avoid giving him any spotlight(Woodley). No fighter has ever insulted and triggered such a wide array of other fighters/personalities in the sport, in such a short time no less.

Woodley vs Covington is going to be the highest selling PPV of 2018. And Covington vs St. Pierre is inevitable at this point. A Donald Trump-Colby meeting will also skyrocket Colby’s popularity in the mainstream media.

He lacks charisma and intelligence. He’s also lacks the ability (so far) to put in exciting fights. All three things a good heel needs.

His best chance at selling to the masses would just be to come out of the closet already. I’m sure the LBGTQ community would support the first open gay male champion in the UFC.

He truly is a blessing to MMA. We could only wish he had come in sooner.

Not at all.

Mayweather and Chael were the GOAT heels in their respective sports, and neither of them were exciting fighters.

Colby makes it REAL EASY to identify the easily entertained.

You missed the charisma part. Plus Floyd is a marketing genius, Colby has what 4K followers? Chael is smart and Colby is sub 100. Plus it’s not like Chael was some PPV selling king with a huge following. Chael and Floyd do not compare.

 

[Jonsohmy]

Jon Jones gave Colby 2 dollars to send him away to buy a soda and banged his mom in the freshman dorm on moving in weekend. Idk if you can say Colby won that one.

So dude is gay (in your expert opinion) And lacks intelligence/charisma.

Solid reasons to dislike him...

Tyron and Jon should cut Colby some slack, and not react in such a manner. If they took the time to analyze the situation, they could come to the conclusion that somewhat functional autistics who also have a splash of Downs shouldn't be held accountable for their words or actions like other adults with fully functional brains.

I was only talking about your 'exciting fighter' bit, which is simply incorrect. Both of Chael's PPVs against Anderson did great numbers, considering that Anderson wasn't a great PPV draw before that. Chael talked his way into undeserved title shots in two weight classes, so he was a great promoter.

If Colby can successfully engage Trump and the MAGA crowd, he'll become huge. Continuing to antagonize NFL teams for kneeling for the anthem and such can get the SJWs involved as well.

 

[gunlok]

If UFC was a shoe, then Colby would be a good heel.
Is that what you are trying to say, op?

 

[YellowBanenoo]

Sounds like Woodley is triggered and so as TS.

I didn’t even so much as insinuate that being gay was a reason to dislike him, I said if he just came out and embraced it instead of hiding it, he would be much more successful (financially).

Yes someone who is as smart as a bag of hammers, fights boring and lacks charisma......now that’s a reason to dislike someone.

Charisma? The point of being a heel is to be a dickhead. He's great at that.

The Diaz brothers lack charisma. People like them because they are heels and talk shit to everyone.

 

[Fedor>Cain]

Chael is the GOAT heel? Idk about that.

Tito was a better heel imo. He made Dana his bitch and rocked that sweet Gay Mezger tShirt.

Tito used to be so hated.

This is what sherdog is mostly comprised of

Complete fucking idiots

 

[Gabe]

It's hilarious how people say Colby's heel schtick isn't working just because they don't like him. Even though it is according to every other measurable standard aside from their own hate.
