Colby has "Zero" wins against elite competition

If a fighter loses he turns into a bum it is science. Usman has no elite wins because after he fights them he’s Journeyman Jorge or No Elite Competition Colby, Too soon Burns, Paper Champ Woodley and so on.


Can’t change science bro.

No one has wins against elite competition, cuz once they win, the opponents formerly known as elite becomes gatekeepers, journeymen.

Thats one of Sherdogs golden rules. <Lmaoo> You only forgot that this rule gets eliminated with fighters someone is a fan of..

Khabib and Islam Makhachev would embarass Colby on the ground.

If Khabib thought he might get the WW title he would have gone up in a split second. The simple fact he never did tells something

His fight performance against Usman was good but he lost and got finished, similar to Gastelum vs Izzy

his win against RDA (the last good fighter he beat) wasn't impressive at all, he basically won the fight by stalling against the cage and it was a 48-47 decision win

I think Masvidal, Burns and Edwards could beat him

You're right

Ww sucks

Usman is also garb.... literally beat no one good.
 
Nobody has got good wins at ww at the moment because all these bums refuse to fight eachother

The point is you cant compare weightclasses at ALL no matter if its the same fighter. Look at Robert Whitaker at WW and MW. Khabib at WW would be completely different game . Otherwise he would have gotten that WW title in a second. RDA was a very different fighter in the differnt stages of his career.

Looking at Khabibs style its kinda obvious why he would have problems at WW. He is so good because he has exceptional positional control but also is a lot stronger than his opponents in the inside clinch and grapple. He was one one of the LWs with the biggest weightcut. Even at LW faced with someone equally strong but not remotely on his technical level as TIbeau a lot of his game got neutralized. Colby is more or less the same size as Khabib and a top wrestler. Khabib never faced someone like that at LW. Poirier is the same size as Khabib but a shitty wrestler. Look at Khabibs resume. Its good but no top wrestler with his size. At WW he would have gone up to having 5-6 guys at this level immideatly. Not only Colby. WW is very wrestler heavy.

You saying Masvidal could beat him is just pure bait.

You can't say "levels" after they actually fought to a razor thin, ultra competitive 4 rounds. Admittedly Usman did finish him in the 5th, but that's also kind of an arbitrary and stupid part about this sport in a way, what if this was actually a 3 rounder like most fights? By the scorecards Colby beats Usman.

Obviously that's not what the fight was and the pace and result could be different. I'm being objective here. Usman won, by TKO so clearly...he won. But "levels" is retarded to say. That's like watching Condit-Lawler and then turning to someone and saying "there's levels to this shit bro"
 
Colby dominates Masvidal. I have it 58/42 Usman/Covington. Burns is definitely a hard stylistic match up for Colby, but I'm not counting Colby out.

why don't LW fighters go to WW and test Usman?! he can crush Dustin, Poirier, Chandler and Oliveira in the same night.

They did.

RDA and Masvidal say hello.... Who the fuck are these elite wins that Usman has? A bunch of old ass LWs from GSP's era and Colby Covington who sucks, per this thread..... lol

Hahahahah it worked just fine for Masvidal to test Usman, and the Nigerian nightmare would slaughter the RDA.

LW is a weaker category than WW, there is no fighter like Usman or Colby in that category, there are only second-class fighters.

Coooollll. He's the only dude to test Usman so I'm fine with the fight. Edwards deserves a shot but I don't see their fight going any different than the first. Probably would be worse considering Usman's improvements. Wrestling disadvantages are rarely resolved in a rematch.
 
Colby trying to wait out his title shot while fighting only on twitter tells a lot. Woodley is shot and that's his only win since getting KO'd. A lot scarier fighters then Woodley at the top right now and Colby clearly doesn't want to risk it.
 
I don't rate Colby at all, all I see from him is a lot of high energy motion popping and hopping around without no real wrestling domination or cruel gnp that makes you suffer when under him RDA got up with no pain every time Colby got him down. All Colby brings is a lot of high energy point fighting which can and was nullified by Usman steady power vicious straight jabs and controlled cardio. Colby is a bag of wind that can be busted by good power & basic all around mma skillz...

He beat Woodley a lot worse than Kamaru did, he finished Tyron. Dont give me the "he wasn't the same fighter" crap. Either way MMAth is largely redundant bullshit.

Kamaru beat Colby cleanly. I want to see the re though

It's interesting alright. Usman struggled at times with Colby and then pulled away at the end.
It was obvious he had the advantage in punching power but he still took a lot of shots. Jabs, hooks too.
I fear for Colby that Usman has gotten a lot better in his stand up since, he has perfected his jab.
He can still seem wild but there's no denying he's progressed significantly.
I could see him ko'ing Colby earlier in this fight but you have to had it to CC, he has heart and a great chin.
