I feel like this fight is like a dentist appointment. Not looking forward to it at all but necessary to keep things moving forward.

Dana White and Colby Covington can both kiss my hairy areshole

i mean, its not bad reasoning.
problem is Colby has had 2 title shots very recently, which he lost clearly. if he hadn't i would accept this line of reasoning.
im sure Leon isnt too thrilled about it either.

You think Leon would rather do half as many buys with Belal (took like 5 seconds to remember his name)? Leon was just negotiating when he was saying he didn't want to fight Colby.

Leon is getting ppv points. Colby probably (almost certainly) brings in more buys than Belal

Yes, it's absolutely bad reasoning.

"Can somebody explain to me why Colby does not deserve the title shot?"

Because there's a guy out there by the name of Belal Muhammad who has beaten 3 top 5 fighters.

Outside of burns who else was a top 5 fighter that belal beat? Brady was 7?

So not fighting is the key to welterwait title shots, got it.

 

[Gilday]

As far as undeserved title shots go I really don't mind this one. It's a fresh matchup that's interesting stylistically and would be huge for either guy to win. Just give Belal the winner

Classic Dana White answering a question with another question.

Luque and Wonderboy.

You go off of when the fights happened.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Leon was on a how many fight win Streak?

And Colby?

Wolf tickets.

 

[Skarsgard]

Lack of quality wins, blatant rank squatting, and a long layoff. Let's not pretend that Leon's situation was the same as Colby's. There are more deserving contenders and Dana knows it.

 

[flektarn]

Sean Omalley, Sean Strickland, and Colby winning titles this year would be wild.

Are you being sarcastic, or do you actually think that is a display of facts and logic?

 

[Uncertainly Principled]

Because there's a guy out there by the name of ...

Dana doesn't remember that name

We just saw Edwards against a similar style in Usman....twice.

It's terrible reasoning. Leon didn't just not fight for 2 years. He spent 6 months after beating #4 RDA to renegotiate his contract, but he was due to fight de-champed Woodley the week the world shut down. He literally COULDN'T do fights for 7 months after that, then took a fight against an unranked guy, then spent the next 14 months signing up for fight after fight after fight, but only 2 people managed to show up. The world had Covid and Leon got Covid, but he still tried to show up. Colby's 'injury' still sounds like piss, and he hasn't attempted anything. Add onto that your point about Colby having lost 2 title shots in his few fights he's done, and it's a load of shit.

I mean I think it makes sense. Leon got a title shot off a NC with belal while colby is off a razor thin fight with Usman that he arguably won and then he stepped in as backup for Usman leon after someone allegedly had weight issues. In addition, colby was literally assaulted by masvidal and we still don't know the extent of the injury. Obviously I'd prefer shavkat but I'm not against the colby fight.
