Making Colby Great Again
“He had a small fracture in the jaw,” head coach Dan Lambert told theScore. “It did not [need to be] wired shut or anything along those lines. He’s back just healing up, resting and relaxing. I expect him back in the gym in a couple of weeks. Full throttle from there -- that’s the way that kid is.
“He’ll be training in February so I mean in theory he’ll be ready to fight as early as April, maybe May. But that depends on what he wants to do -- what the UFC has in mind for him opponent-wise. A lot of things have to happen before he gets back in there, so I guess we’ll have to see.
“Anybody in the top-10 I’m sure or top-five. Colby is still ranked one or two. So he’s right up there, so I think [his opponent] is going have to be somebody that’s a big fight for him, that puts him right in position to get a title shot after that.”
