News Colby Covington vs Leon Edwards official for UFC 296

[Iroh]

My AV is supposed to be ironic. Doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. He will lose though but I am a fan of his.

Can you explain the irony behind it then? I'm genuinely interested.

 

[Frank Kain]

Hehe, the Colby fans mass. You clowns are very cute…hey, he may do what a good wrestler couldn’t, but for the sake of fighting to win, I hope he doesn’t….MMA is funny. Leon by KO.

 

[Spiderbite]

Who cares at this point? I'm trying to get excited for the instant rematch two years from now.

 

[SplashB]

Colby will look so good with that belt around his waist. Can't wait.

 

[Iroh]

Colby has never hurt anyone (outside a washed TWood.)



While I believe that there’s a good chance that Leon stops him by dropping him (multiple times,) your analysis and response are all spot on!

He hurt Usman with body kicks in the first fight

And here in the second fight, he wobbled him

Colby will look so good with that belt around his waist. Can't wait.

Like GSP or Khabib without the activity….good job, Colbs…

I’m a fan of Colby bc he talks shit and his fans like his shit talking yet when I have a troll AV about him, his fans can’t handle it.
Very entertaining stuff tbh.

 

[Istryker]

I think Leon finishes Colby.

 

[spinup]

But I do see Colby hurting Leon pretty badly at one point, but Leon will compose and win via TKO in the 5th

Colby has landed 1 knockdown in his entire career, in 2016.

 

[DEV.Woulf]

I think Colby gets it done

This site will have a breakdown and enter therapy.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Colby has landed 1 knockdown in his entire career, in 2016.

Personally I find Leon a bit chinny

One Sneaky shot from Colby is all it take

 

[DEV.Woulf]

I'd pick a prime Colby to win but he didn't really look spectacular in the Masvidal fight.

What? Now only did he rag-doll Masvidal with wrestling, he even found time to take a knee for the first responders in the middle of it. Alpha Colby is bringing the belt back to the USA baby!

 

[legedema]

why Colby ,
this is #1 bullshit

 

[runjay]

as much as i love colby ( and boy do i ) he’s got such privilege . in 4+ years he’s 3-2 , with his wins being over 44 year old lawler, and the ghost of jorge and , surprise surprise, t woods. and lo and behold ANOTHER title shot.

 

[jitzmonkey]

He hurt Usman with body kicks in the first fight

And here in the second fight, he wobbled him

Maybe we have definitions of being hurt.
Do you consider yourself “hurt” every time you take a hard shot in sparring?

 

[fortheo]

This division sucks

 

[Jibsta69]

I think Colby would have beaten him in the past but with him being so inactive and getting older he might be in decline but we don’t know it yet.

I’m not a huge Edwards fan and can be very critical on him, but Colby hasn’t beaten anyone that isn’t washed up since he’s started this whole persona. The UFC has obviously been protecting him and I guess one thing Colby has going for him is that he’s the kinda champion TKO would want.

 

[cheesus]

Colby with another title shot, how predictable. Pretty insulting considering how much Colby wouldn't give Edwards the time of day only a few years ago now yet again, rank squatter gets to skip the line without a relevant win in years. Hope Edwards wins.

 

[DecisionSplit]

I think Colby would have beaten him in the past but with him being so inactive and getting older he might be in decline but we don’t know it yet.

Colby is also 35 which is usually where anyone at 170 and below starts to heavily decline. Him beating Edwards realistically should be an upset. Even if the betting odds favor him.

 

[Mammothman]

I hope Colby gets hurt real bad and retire after this fight, can't stand that dork.
