Leon is going to run right through colby. Colbys got nothing for Leon. Leons got strength tdd better striking beat usman twice as where Colby lost twice.

Sure. Colby is more entertaining than Leon, and the meltdowns on here will be more entertaining than the fights. Belal is sure to be a snoozer against either guy, but at least Colby will talk a bunch of shit and make some effort to get people interested. With all 3 of them, it's just hoping Shavkat pans out and takes the belt in the next year.
 
colby just doesn't seem that impressive to me

dude grind out wins. he fought once a year and last 4 years the only wins were washed woodley and masvidal, that woodley was losing to everybody. and masvidal fight was not impressive at all. colby was dominant in wrestling but barely done any damage, he also got dropped. burns on the other hand beat masvidal in total dominant fashion.

colby was competitive with usman yeah but he was losing those fights at the highest level
 
Don't really mind Colby. He's a good fighter and not as boring as people say. Don't find his shtick offensive at all, just think he takes the trashtalk too far sometimes.

But longtime Leon fan. I'd be kinda bummed out if he lost the belt just as he finally gained some respect. Fortunately I don't think Colby has the style or size to beat him.

What work ethic? He's one of the most inactive fighters and he ducks contenders.

Whatever work ethic it takes to fight his style at that pace for 5 rounds, plus the guy doesn't drink, doesn't party, eats well and stays in shape all year around. Of all the things you can say about Colby, I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that the guy doesn't work hard

All three of those guys are top notch Colby garbage and arguably loses to each of them in their prime.

Definately does not lose to woodley he dominated him already and woodley has way too low volume and cardio to hang with woodley this is obvious to anyone.

Woodley Knew he couldn't beat colby so ducked him twice. he was unsure he could beat usman, so he took that gamble instead.
 
I’m rooting hard for Colby.

Colby opens the door to big name / money matchups that might hold the division up (I’m fine with this, casual confirmed yes yes..) but would have that electrified feeling and generate huge ppvs.

My dream is Colby wins, Colby vs Mas II..
Conor beats Chandler, followed by Conor/Nate 3 at 170 with winner fighting for title vs Colby/mas winner… losers of these fights fight each other, Islam steps up to fight the winner for 170lb belt if he hasn’t been chinned by then..

It would be a very exciting time and all these fighters should be very active considering their age and usada being kicked to the curve

His fighting style is more an indication of his fighting preference to me than his work ethic. Work ethic would be someone that fights a lot and will fight anyone. Colby fights like once every couple years . He also ducks hard work and instead takes on easy work when he's not given a title shot. He puts in less work than a lot of fighters. I just dont see the work ethic you're talking about. And Colby is a known liar. How do you know that he doesn't drink and party?

FALSE

COLBY DUCKED WOOLDEY FOR TWO STRAIGHT YEARS AND HAD HIS INTERME TITLE STRIPPED FOR INACTIVITY AND USMAN STEPPED IN AND TOOK THE TITLE OFF HIM

THATS RIGHT COLBY LITTERALLY DUCKED THE CHAMPION BECAUSE HE DIDNT THINK HE CPULD BEAT WOODLEY

COMBYS VOLUME IS MOSTLY JUNK AMD WOODLEY IS MUCH STRONGER COLBYS WRESTLING WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE WHICH IS WHY HE AVOIDED WOODLEY FOR SO LONG

USMAN IN THE OTHER HAND AT THE TIME WAS BASICALLY COLBY WHO WAS FAR STRONGER AND BETTER STRIKING

NICE ATTEMPT AT HISTORY REVISION BUT YOU FAIL AGAIN, FANS WHO HAD TO SIT THROUGH COVINGTONS ANTICS WILL NEVER LET HIM LIVE DOWN DUCKING A TITLE FIGHT FOR TWO YEARS STRAIGHT

I'm just curious does anyone out there want this guy to win over Leon Edwards?

i hate trump but also believe Colby is a genius marketer using Trump in a pro-wrestling style gimmick. Colby is an underrated MMA fighter because of his gimmick. Leon is boring and overrated. Rooting for Colby.

Neutral on Edwards. He is ok, can't relate though, kinda boring, low output, 1 ko in many years.

Colby is a dick and not sane.
We had a break of Colby for 1,5 years, which is about right.
I would enjoy some chaos and people getting mad, as long as he loses his belt in his next fight in exactly 3months.

So I never thaught I would say that, slightly rooting for Colby, just to see you guys mad.

The talk afterwards will be unbearable and a lot of white frat house wannabees will be on sherdog again. Acting like they have been fans all along



If Edwards is fighting this like usual, he has problems the longer the fight goes.
Colby doesn't give many fucks, throws a lot and pressures.
Both are southpaws, which makes Leons left kick less effective

Lol at calling Leon boring and pointing out his lack of finishes when you're cheering for Colby.
 
Two muppets are fighting. One thinks hes entitled to a double champshot at LW. The other thinks hes entitled to a MW shot. Both will most likely hold up division.... Going to be a shit show regardless of who wins.... I hope one gets injured and Billal M gets a chance. He might be bland but at least he won't hold division to ransom
 
I honestly find it hard to care about either guy. Edwards is boring inside and outside the cage for the most part and Colby I don’t find funny so I don’t really care for him plus he is a snitch which isn’t cool.

Colby winning would be the more funny outcome because people would cry and whine about it I guess
