Colby is 2018 version of Sonnen

[yekmurat]

Both inside the cage and trash game

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

Only difference is Chael is the greatest fighter of all time

 

[Brocktoberfest]

Sonnen actually got takedowns though. And was clever.

Actually theyre nothing alike at all.

Chael's trash talk is far superior. Colby definitely has a better sub defense though.

Noobs these days don't recognize the GOAT bruh.

 

[Kratoswand]

Putting their name in the same sentence is a blasplemy to Chael.

 

[Law of One]

Colby is the poor man’s Chael Sonnen in almost every way shape and form.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Chael had better takedowns and a mouth on him.

Colby has a better sub defense tho.

 

[Based God]

Sonnen didn't talk like a hyper puppy and get tongue twisted every time he tries to be a heel pro wrestler.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

At least Sonnen actually beats up people when he takes them down

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

Colby is a paint-by-numbers troll.

 

[SirKratos]

Sonnen is a better trash talker and Colby is better fighter overall

 

[Fincher7]

It's like Chael and Tito had a baby.

 

[Willek]

Exactly what I thought during the fight.

 

[Deleted member 436105]

Sonnen had decent boxing and could actually wrestle. I didn’t realize how poor Colby’s TD game was until tonight.

 

[Andrew06]

relying on profanity and slurs shows a lack of real mic skills

 

[sgtpepper]

But without the brains

 

[OriginMMA]

Colby is the poor man’s Chael Sonnen in almost every way shape and form.

At least he became a champ.

 

[dethmanrulz]

Sonnen is a far better trash talker.

True, that's what really set Chael apart IMO. He rarely used bad language and yet still delivered messages that were powerful as hell. He was extremely witty/clever and well-spoken, which Colby just isn't.

Props to Colby for doing the smart thing and talking himself up to garner attention, but it really does show just how inferior he is to Chael in that regard. The difference is night and day.
