Could Colby cut to 155 like khabibs?

[Ortegoat]

and fight smaller men?

Colby could be a champ champ in the making

Colby isn't a coward who feels the need to drain himself and fight smaller men. Khabib and Till on the other hand...

Colby could make 155 but it would be tough, i think he cuts weight the right way & looks good at 170. A 165lb weight class would be even more perfect for Colby. The only guys at 155 with Colby size is Sage Northcutt, K.Lee & Gleison, even Khabib have gotten smaller recently.

Thanks for bringing that to light I agree.

To answer the OP question, I think he could given the right nutrition manager, if GSP or even Tony Ferguson can make it so can Colby.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

No way in hell he makes 155. He is not a small WW by any means.

 

[muaytao]

colby could easily put on muscle and go to 185

 

[det_regnar_på_vår_kärlek]

He looked significantly bigger than RDA, who had tough cuts to make 155lbs

 

[xentreos]

What the ? Am I watching the same fighters as you guys ? No way he makes 155.

Go watch his earl weigh ins, the guy barely cut any weight & he was 180lbs during fight week. He is a huge 155lber but there have been a handful of guys who cut from his size to make it. Sage is bigger than Colby.

If Colby could make 155... he would be fighting at 155.

Nearly everyone at WW(other than the former LWs) is bigger than Khabib and most of LW is close to his size or bigger.

I hate Colby but no need to cut now, he’s not losing. He certainly isn’t getting pushed around. Tyrone is bad match up for him unless he gets old, it just happens and he’s at the age where one fight soon he just won’t have it.
Colby doesn’t look to have elite athletic skills and he may move once he starts losing.

 

[Sansnom]

Nope. I seriously doubt it. He's already pretty lean.

 

[20falarVerdades]

Khabib made 154 lbs. He could make FW with a disciplined camp

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Yes he could but his cardio wouldn't be top notch anymore.

His cardio is as great as it is because he fights within 10-12 pounds of his walk around weight.

Even if he could, there are some things that should not be done.

Colby could easily put on more muscle and fight 205.

Or is Colby a coward because he won't cut and fight smaller men?

Tony Ferguson is actually bigger than Colby. Tony is a natural WW, who won TUF as a WW, who would actually like to fight at WW but fights at LW because that's where the UFC wants him.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

He probably could. Didn't look any bigger than RDA last night.
