Will Colby fight the winner of Belal/Shavkat????

[Lionheart7167]

Okay.

I know this sounds ridiculous. He just got schooled by Leon, and has already been given three title shots and failed each time. He hasn't had a meaningful win in years.

BUT....

If he beats Buckley impressively, would you be surprised if the UFC fast tracked him to a title shot???

Leon's going to fight Masvidal in March (announcement coming soon)

Usman is MW now, and Garry just lost.

Colby's a great villain, fans know him and will watch him, and is super MAGA, which seem to be the fighters the UFC is pushing hard these days. (My conspiracy theory is that Bryce Mitchell keeps getting huge main card slots, because of his hard right views, but that's for another post)

 

[VinceArch]

No.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Shutup Colby. You don’t deserve to fight the loser much less the winner.

Garry off a loss is still worth more than Colby is.

Shavkat got the win, but if Garry's performance didn't prove he's a legit top WW, you're just a hater. Colby's fucking done, and he's not getting past Buckley.

Oh, Garry is DEFINITELY deserving. I don't want Colby to get a shot.
I've just been around long enough to understand how the UFC works

 

[UWPguy]

No, Colby doesn't get a title shot if he does beat Buckley.

He'd need at least one more top 6 win like Garry, JDM or Brady to even have a chance at a title shot and that still would be no guarantee.

 

[blaseblase]

Lol no. Colby's days of getting a title shot off of one win after a year of inactivity and ducking top contenders are over.

 

[BigOlJeet]

Colby is a rat snitch can, no real fan wants him as champ.

 

[wisdom blows]

lol no. JDM up next.

 

[Darkavius]

Okay.

You just answered your own question. These are the fights I think make sense next:

• Edwards vs. Garry (already history there and Garry could be available for the UK card in 2025)
• Usman vs. JDM
• Brady vs. the winner of Buckley vs. Covington
• Prates vs. Burns or Neal

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

If Colby beats Buckley he probably gets Ian if he's serious about WW.

Dustin if he isn't

 

[dog y]

Lol 2025 and masdival and cunty are still getting meaningful fights against ranked opponents. What a joke.

As a retired stock broker and current day trader, I'm going with "past results not indicative future performance;" but technically, there's quite a bit of precedent.

Lol no. Colby's days of getting a title shot off of one win after a year of inactivity and ducking top contenders are over.

Dana lambasting Colby after his last performance might be indicative of a classic Dana White walk back.


That opinion might be indicative of my cynicism, though.

His fans have also turned on him though. I think he'll have to put on a master class against Buckley for Dana to consider it

 

[goOb]

Colby will fight the winner absolutely. That being said, I believes he loses to Ian Garry if I am being honest. He will not beat Shavkat but the Belal fight will be an interesting matchup.

What are you talking about?

Masvidal wants to fight Miami and that's April, Leon is fighting in London in March. JDM is likely gonna fight in Australia in February, and Usman has been pushing for. a WW return and is being angled for that matchup. If that doesn't get done, Prates has been calling for it too. Colby isn't even on the radar.

 

[JBJ was here]

Colby's not beating Buckley impressively in this universe. In the unlikely event of a Colby win, the thump of heads on pillows might be impressive, but that's about it.

this might be the weirdest part of your post. and your post is pretty weird.

 

[Mammothman]

If Cuckington wins feed him to Garry, no more ducking from Colby

 

[RockyLockridge]

If he beats Buckley impressively, would you be surprised if the UFC fast tracked him to a title shot???

I dont think Colby has a one fight route to the title shot. He will have to fight once more after this fight (should he win)

I would not be surprised if he wins this fight and angles for rematch with Leon.

IMO Leon is the easiest path to a title for him. I know he's lost to Leon recently, but I still think it's the most winnable match up in the top 5 for him
