Colby Covington wants to fight Israel Adesanya

[KeyboardFighter]

You torgot to mention KeyboardFighter also said that at the end of the day (so in conclussion) there's a huge size difference. So he already touched on that too, which makes it balanced. The other guy just started seeing red because KeyboardFighter was somewhat complimentary with the first half of his post, which resulted in KeyboardFighter's conclussion not even registering with him, as he felt the need to emphasize just that same aspect to me in his emotional rant.

Simply put, just another SDer getting triggered over nothing and unable to think clearly and rationally.

Thank you, good post! I was mearly looking at both fighters in a neutral perspective, skill for skill. I'm actually more of a fan of Israel and hate Colby's corny gimmick. But it's hard sometimes to get some quality discussion here, lol.

Colby is very susceptible to counters. He doesn’t have the strength or durability that Marvin has and Izzy has great cardio. Nightmare matchup for Colby actually. He’d have a much better chance against costa or kelvin. Bobby and Izzy would absolutely murk Colby and make it look easy.

Colby is plenty strong and durable for his division. And yeah agree with the counters somewhat, seemed to walk in to them a lot vs Usman. But looking at Usman right now, he seems to do that to a lot of fighters tbh.

I mean we are both just speculating right now tbh, but I think if Colby was a little bit bigger I could see a guy like that giving Izzy trouble. And I think Colbys nightmare matchup in MW is Bobby.

Now I'm hoping Colby beats Usman.

Interesting matchup. Anyone who says Izzy kills Colby is just being a hater.

Because Colby will succeed where Romero failed.

Knows usman probably wrecks him again. Immediately thinking of what to do after usman sends him in for surgery again. Feels he could put on weight and wrestle izzy. Due to his tdd. Lol. But will get waxed there also.

Good style match up for Colby, Adesanya couldn’t grapple his way out of a kids BJJ tournament

 

[Jackonfire]

No he doesn't.

So the whole bit about how Dana White literally wanted the fight to happen.. the freaking Boss... wants the fight, that isn't implied in my justification? I never even said "But Jorge" I said I like Jorge, but he got dominated the whole first fight, and Ko'ed in the 2nd.. that I understand wanting a person to claw back their way up the ladder..

My whole justification is that Colby put on by far the best title fight against Usman, out of literally every single fighter he has every fought while in the UFC... and one of the best title fights of the year and of the weight class... yet you simplify my words as "But Jorge" Do you just not read or do you like to morph what I said to fit your narrative, because I included a lot, and have been a fan for a long ass time in this sport.

I like seeing variety just as much as someone else when it comes to who the Champion gets to fight, especially if that champion is dominant. You make the Colby vs Usman 2 before Usman loses... you make that while he is still defending the belt.. That is the best time to set that fight back up, after seeing Jorge get Ko'd.. Colby should have got the rematch first all along. You can look at guys who should be next in line.. but I laugh when people don't look at it from a business stand point. What is the most likely fight to sell the most PPV in that damn Weight class?? Usman vs Chiesa? LMAO.. Usman vs Edwards? nah.. none of those will have the most buzz with the most people talking about the fight as Covington vs Usman 2... You don't have to like it, and damn straight they need to inject some new challenger blood into the title fight picture for the WW division, but this fight has to happen as a title fight while Usman is still on the run.. If he is as dominant as he has shown, none of it will even matter cause he will run through Colby, and wreck the other dudes in line as well.

Colby Doesn't Deserve Shit? He has been the only guy that literally has shown that he has it possible to get the best of Usman. The Boss man Dana White literally called their first fight one of the best fights he has ever seen.

Next time you smash on someone's opinion with direct reply, at least offer the alternative, otherwise you just basically are saying you don't like the idea.. Wow... that is all you have to add?

You expect me to read an essay about why you think your opinion is justified?

Lol.

Colby gets absolutely smashed. He’s a pretty average size WW and would be dwarfed by Izzy. Outside of the Jan fight Izzy has proven extremely tough to take and hold down he would probably have 15-25 pounds on Colby come fight night. Nightmare matchup if you ask me.

 

[VitorReem]

He’s got all the skills but too small

 

[Squintz]

What the fuck happened to his arm?

You expect me to read an essay about why you think your opinion is justified?

Lol.

Not if you have a peanut brain? That's okay though.. not everyone can read a few lines.

 

[RampageFaction]

Looking past the guy who broke your jaw the first time you fought....not good.

 

[Horriblehim]

And Jones wants to fight at heavyweight

Lol. You're cute.

 

[Xandros476]

Lmfao Izzy would massacre Colby…

 

[christopher]

Lol. You're cute.

Lol thank you.. I'm only messing with you the same way you were with me... but honestly.. aren't opinionated essays about fights exactly why Sherdog exists? There's not exactly a rule book where it says keep it one or two lines.
