Colby looked AWFUL

[TITS]

Looked like a loser. Slow, hesitant, almost scared. Definitely a hover handed virgin who needs to be deported immediately. We don't like losers in America

Trump just made a video call to Colby.

Spoiler

 

[whocares]

They presented him with two washed cans instead of Trump. He's moving down the ladder. His next fight he will walk out with Ben Shapiro.

 

[Pompey Junglist]

It's either retirement or a Tony Ferguson type run. The choice is Colby's.

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Go MAGA, fight like a A

 

[humperdoo]

It's over for him. He thought he was the guy, Chael is just toying him.

But what did he expect, he is fighting a 30 yo finisher.

 

[Dionysian]

Remember when people seriously said he'd beat Khabib and Islam based solely on him beating retiring fights for YEARS on end?

Watch his same double setup get denied repeatedly by Buckley and let me know how you think he would have done. Hell, his fight against RDA ages ago should have been the spoiler for that.

 

[deman]

He looked like Ben Askren in there. How do you get to this level and not even be able to throw a punch.

Any "aura" he had went when Edwards manhandled him like a child. Nobody's buying it anymore.

 

[RainyMonday]

He looked as good as he ever has TBH. Colby has always been weak and has always had an extremely low success rate with his takedowns, which happen to be the best part of his game by a wide margin.

His win over Maia was good, but he hasn't done anything of note since then.

 

[pamirec]

At least we are done with gifted titleshots.

 

[usernamee]

Doubt it would've mattered much but it is shit luck to get that kind of a cut immediately in round 1.

Yeayeayeyeayea he got punched.. but people get punched all the time and most of the time it doesn't open up a perfect cut right above the eye like that immediately

 

[IIIIIIII]

with colby, winning was never the most important thing it seemed. being popular and hated was what colby wanted. he still has that. he was getting plenty of boos during the fight. the problem for colby yesterday was that there wasn't any hype or drama befoferhand to build up this fight. with every fight that colby gained fans and received recognition, there was beef. nothing with buckley.

colby will never be champion or relevant in that area anymore. but he can remain in the limelight and make something of what's left of his career if he can stay competitive, which he was against buckley, and stay active in social media and tweet stuff related to trump, etc. the same stuff he was doing when trump was president.

this is a bit like colby's second chance at relevance, and he shouldn't squander it.

 

[nonoob]

Colby (with Spokesman/Manager Chael) vs Ian and Layla would sell.

 

[wh4tttt]

Maia opened that eyelid some years back. Colby tends to keep guard up high on the left side but totally disregards the right side.
Usman smacked up that side of his face in their 2nd fight too.

 

[markys00]

But remember that close fight he had with Usman?!?!

I do remember now that u mention it.

 

[markys00]

After that performance, Colby and his family need to be deported.

I see ur gonna keep running with that joke... It's not very good. Ur clever enough for better

 

[markys00]

One of the worst beatings of the year.

Yeah, no. Now you sound as delusional as his fans

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

thats because Usman was never that good to begin with. Forever in GSP's lofty shadow

Take your AV's advice.

 

[STRAWBOSS]

hulk hogan looked awful too. and SHORT. wtf? he was as tall as Colby.

 

[MarioLemieux]

I was gonna say. No way Hogan lost a foot of height and has noodle arms. They must have given Colby an imposter Hogan because he's not high up enough the MAGA chain.

After you have rematches and trilogoies of 5 round fights with legit champion level fighters beating on you for 5 rounds you get shopworn. Especially when you're now on the wrong side of 30 by a decent amount.

I think that gets overlooked a lot in the UFC. Just how fast fighters start to decline after multiple 5 round wars versus 3 round snooze fests.

You can still look the same in sparring, training, or drills. You can feel bigger stronger & faster than you were & even have some metrics to support that. However, when your body starts experiencing that real trauma and knows you have to survive it for a possibility of 3 or more rounds its like it goes into protect mode. You just start 2nd guessing and adding time onto every move in fear of taking more trauma.

Colby is definitely a shopworn fighter. He even was 2nd guessing his panic wrestling and gingerly going about most offense & defence.

He was an overachiever that marketed himself "well.' Glad to see him and his schtick fade out of title contention.
