because of the threat of the takedown.... Maia gets you down you don't get a second chance at it. I wanna see Colby vs somebody that he knows isn't going for td. (wonderboy)Maia landed a lot of shots on Colby and Maia isn't a striker. He lit him up.
I don’t believe Colby has earned himself a title shot. RDA hasn’t either. These two should’ve fought during Tyron’s layoff so he has no way to discredit the winner as the number one contender. Back to the topic.
Colby did not get “lit up” by Maia on the feet. Maia had his most success in the opening minute where he landed good strikes because Colby was pressuring him hard with basically zero respect for his power or takedown threat. Colby was actually taking the fight to Maia, something respectable that most of his opponents shy away from. He mentally and physically broke Maia who was fresh off a title shot. At the end of the third round Maia looked like he had been beaten and mugged in an alleyway and the referee was extremely close to stopping to the fight.
Dominating him in his home country after being showered by beer bottles, spit, and trash during his walkout makes the win even more impressive. Colby’s trash talk is forced and cringey. I don’t understand how that takes away from a great win against Maia. Discuss!
If you watch the fight it's clear that Colby wasn't afraid of going to the ground like Tyron was. It's ok that he got lit up, he still won the fight convincingly. I don't think he'd do well against an elite striker like Wonderboy though. I don't think he'd make it to the third round with Lawler either.because of the threat of the takedown....

It's a legit win, it just doesn't say much for him as a contender. Wrestlers aren't interested opponents for Woodley.
People don't. It's just that Colby is the human embodiment of jock itch.
why is that? Woodleys UFC losses are to two guys with strong wrestling/grappling in Shields and McDonald. Also Gastleum fought him to a split decision when he was still young as hell.
