Media Colby fires back at Ian Garry!

[Pechan]

Did he had the surgery for the "broken" foot?

 

[Deleted member 585708]

Oh, Colby is still doing this gimmick?

 

[Clark Rogers]

FFS this guy is intolerable.

 

[burningspear]

Colby looked shot to pieces, Garry must be looking fwd to this one.

 

[TheGreenMachine]

Was that Colby's first ever KO?

This fight should probably be next for both to prove Garry can handle a wrestler and that Colby still has it. But let's be real, Colby would be a huge betting favorite as long as he comes in half as good as he did against Usman 1 and 2.

A reminder to MMA fans: Colby created this character because the UFC told him they wouldn't be renewing his contract after he dominated Dong Hyun Kim.

or so he says, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever, he fought demian maia right after, you don't give a main event against one of the top ranked fighter if you plan on cutting him anyway, you just bury him on the prelims
plus UFC almost never decide to not renew the contract of a winning fighter, except if they don't agree on the contract but certainly not because he's boring

In what universe does Colby deserve a title shot?

In what universe does he not?

He's the uncrowned champ.

 

[xhaydenx]

It's so good because it's so incredibly bad hahaha.

 

[Ares Black]

In what universe does he not?

He's the uncrowned champ.

Oh I see. Carry on.

But let's be real, Colby would be a huge betting favorite as long as he comes in half as good as he did against Usman 1 and 2.

There's no reason to think he would though, and I honestly think Garry might be the betting favourite TBH. Covington is 36 years old and has zero wins over relevant WWs. Most importantly he looked like absolute garbage in his last fight.

Colby loses to everyone in the top 10 except maybe Wonderboy

I don't care about wives or POS criminal fathers but he needs to chill a little bit. Back then he was fighting but not talking and now it's the opposite lol There need to be a balance

 

[Uber_Noober]

Colby cuts a good wwe promo, I'll give him that <{dayum}>

I think that even at 40 years old Wonderboy might style on him. The Colby that fought Usman would beat Wonderboy, but the version that rolled over against Leon Edwards I'm not so sure.

 

[usernamee]

Jesus fucking Christ, there's like 90% fat he should've cut out of that speech

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

Garry isn’t 40 …..so Colby won’t be interested

But his wife is lol

This.

No way Colby would be the betting favorite after his last fight.

The one Donald Trump was president in dawg.

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Is there anything other than Colby saying this that would indicate that it's true? I mean the guy was 7-1 in the promotion and on a four fight win streak after he beat Stun Gun. I doubt there are many examples of fighters in similar situations just simply not being re-signed.

Yes, Dan Lambert has confirmed it. In fact, if I remember correctly, he is the one who actually advised Colby he needs to create a character or he will be cut. On my phone about to meet up with some friends but I'll see if I can get the video/article up later.

EDIT
He talks about it here:

"He wasn’t going to be re-signed and we had one fight left and I asked for that fight to be in Brazil against a bigger name I was fairly certain he was going to be able to beat.

"I told Colby, ‘You need to change something between now and then or you’re going to get cut.

The moment that saw Colby Covington become the UFC star everyone loves to hate

Colby Covington is a very unique character. One upon a time in UFC, though, he was a bit of a plain Jane. The 34-year-old has only lost twice in his MMA career and had a seven-fight winning streak …
