Do you think Colby Covington would've performed better vs Islam than JDM did?

[FrankDux]

First off, this isn't an argument or suggestion that Colby deserves a TS vs Islam...this is purely speculation: do you think Colby (assuming he had a full camp) would've performed better vs Islam than JDM did?

 

[Shano123]

If this was 4-5 years ago, maybe

 

[don't ask]

Not today's Colby.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

No Colby would have been finished either standing or in a scramble.
Overhyped for beating 40 year old men and was psyop'd into people thinking he's good for losing to Usman.

Who was Colby's best win?

 

[Russie]

It wouldn't take much to do slightly better. At this point with Colby though I couldn't see him doing much of anything against Islam.

 

[hbombbisping]

Nah Colby sucks.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

No shit lol

But it'd have to be prime Colby

 

[Volador]

Yes.

But to be fair, I also think my cousin would've done better, and he's a morbidly obese disabled retiree.

 

[Natural Order]

10 years ago would have been a solid scrap. Now, nah? Colby canned out years ago. Gets pieced up and finished wherever Islam wants.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

No.. he would have tapped
Prime Colby was getting taken down by Rda. Islam would maul him.

 

[laleggenda27]

Five years ago: yes.
Now: no.

Current Colby gets finished by Islam inside of 3 rounds.

 

[xhaydenx]

Current Colby would not have made it to the 2nd round.

Islam would have annihilated him.

 

[don't ask]

Who was Colby's best win?

The hearts and minds of stupid people who are dead inside.

Who was Colby's best win?

Probably Maia. Dominant showing and Maia had just challenged for the title in the fight before Colby. Could argue RDA. one of those two

Probably RDA or woodley

prime colby ATLEAST has freakish output and cardio which sometimes can be enough to take over late in fights.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

No. Clobby hasn't beat anyone on the entire UFC active roster, and when he was in his so called prime he was dreadful, can't finish anyone, even cans he couldn't finish them. He is so overrated, no submissions, nothing on his punches, terrible. Islam by rear naked choke round 2

Tyron was in the middle of his slump.



Maia was also at the tail end of his career with his only good win after being Askren, but to be fair he was against killers the whole time.


RDA was ~3 years out of his prime as well as being outside the division he was actually champion in, though I still think he was Colby's strongest win. RDA didn't do too well at WW in general.

 

[Kal-El]

Today's Colby? No.

Prime Colby? No.

Would have gotten finished.

 

[kingofthecans]

This is a line I could see two turkeys asking each other in a Farside comic.
Comedy gold.

 

[MDoza]

Prime Colby would have at least stuffed a takedown and gotten up off his ass once or twice.
