This is the most ironic thing about all this. Cobby does his outrageous, offensive bullshit to garner interest, but he goes so far that its actually a turn off for most people. He's put in all this "work" and has less of a following than many mma fighters.You know Colby is known for his social media game...
Marty has 3 times as many followers..
Trust me people would care with out Colby.
If he'd just kept his head down and on the grind, like Usman did, he'd probably be more popular. Hell, even if he'd gone heel but toned it down a little, or kept it funny like Chael did, or pre-Khabib Conor did, then he'd probably be fine.
But no, he went with the nuclear option "BRAZIL YOU'RE A DUMP AND YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF FILTHY ANIMALS!"... I mean, that's not funny or clever or entertaining. It's just... Gross. Then he started tweeting spoilers to major blockbusters, which is a genius move if you're actively trying to lose followers.
He basically went full retard cringe heel and everyone just collectively said "Ew... No thanks."
If he was genuine, I'd be a big fan. I really like watching him fight. But I HATE listening to him talk.
