could current Colby even beat Dustin Poirier?

[AdamWarlock]

I used to think this would be an easy win for Colby now I'm not so sure

He sure has fallen off big time hasn't he.

Perfect time for this fight to happen. Colby vs Dustin or Justin

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Id take Dustin this time around lol. A few years ago Colby no problem

 

[NextGen]

Poirier wins handily. Colby too washed now.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Dustin is still with it, Colby has obviously slipped to a high degree, relative to the fighter he once was. I'd still like to see it happen, just bc that loose end needs to be tied up before they both retire. And bc Colby may take another beating

The storyline is kind of interesting, but it’s mostly because we enjoy watching Colby get his ass kicked

Colby still beats Dustin by decision

I have no interest in finding out. I love Dustin but the endless carousel of repetitive matchmaking at 155 makes me cringe to see his name on a card headliner. He has nothing left to prove... he needs to go away now.

And as for Covington, I have never had an interest in his fights and hope we never see him again. Boring lay and pray artist who sits on the shelf protecting his ranking and only shows up every few years to either crush a can or lose a wildly undeserved title shot? Wow... sign me up to see him again.

In all of the possible match-ups in the UFC, I can't possibly think of a fight that appeals to me less than this one. Might as well bring back Mostapha al-Turk to fight Rolles Gracie in the co-main event

Hell no. The Dustin that fought Islam KTFOs Colby

Ya he totally beats a guy who gave the pfp #1 fighter hell...

Colby is a much bigger human than Dustin.

You'll see the big point fighting cardio wrestler holding Dustin against the cage, and dude has shot hips.

Dustin has a KO chance but Colby has repeatedly shown a great chin.

 

[JustBleed69]

Dustin Kos him at this point, Colby is worthless now

 

[ExitLUPin]

Jorge had his moments and nearly caught Colby bad. Dustin just took Islam P4P no 1 to hell even though he was losing the fight since the start. I think Dustin TKOs him. Colby would get some TDs. Dustin would get up.

The size difference also wouldn't be that big. Dustin is a HOOGE LW and Colby barely cuts to get to 170. He took this fight on really short notice.

Yeah gotta go with dustin looking at their last few fighters. Dustin surprised everyone well as he did against Islam while colby looked shit against leon. Against up and comers colby really had nothing for Buckley while dustin beat BSD with guts and determination come back win. Is much harder being a high pace pressure wrestler at older age.

Forgetting the fact that Islam put him away, he was fairly comfortably winning a decision.

I love Poirier but I can't describe his fight with Islam as 'giving him hell' so much as did a good job trying to keep up, but was generally a step behind until the inevitable.

 

[JoeRowe]

Dustin's tdd isn't as good as Buckley. Nor is he the same size or athleticism. There's a reason Poirier doesn't want the fight. If was confident he could KO this shit-talking buffoon he would push for the fight & shut him up

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

There was a reason why Colby was calling out Dustin and Wonderboy. I think Colby beats Dustin. Dustin doesn't have the wrestling to beat Colby. Could Dustin KO Colby? It's possible. I'd favor Colby but it isn't out of the question that Dustin cracks that chin.

Islam also had bad staph

 

[Mammothman]

Colby doesn't deserve that fight, Colby should fight Garry or a WW killer

Islam was winning the whole time, but how many people expected Dustin to give him a war for 5 rounds. Colby has nothing now, no power crappy striking and his grappling is looking worse each fight.
