I see Colby winning the trilogy

[beephin]

‪Colby was too hesitant in the first 2 rounds. Colby looked great in the later rounds once he started going first. He's best when he goes first and Usman isn't the best counter striker. ‬

‪Usman is best when he leads first with his jab then throws that left. ‬

‪Awesome fight tho ‬
Had Colby pushes the pace from the start he really could have won this fight

Not even a joke

Colby's guard was much improved and yes Usmans jab was lethal as we all suspected but man i can't help thinking if Colby was just a little bit more aggressive right after Usmans biggest loadups in the exchanges and if Colbys wasn't so damn passive this fight could've gone in Colbys favour.

Could've Should've....I know its easier said than done but I really think the passiveness of Colby lost him the fight.

Everybody has their opinion i guess.

He was passive because Usman kept landing on him when he came in to trade. And he was landing heavy enough Colby was wary of it- and wary with good reason as R2 showed. Colby couldnt fight his usual high volume style because he was scared of giving Usman an opening.

He's shown he can take rounds off Usman. But Usman has shown more power, the ability to completely deny Colby any takedowns or grappling advantages and that he can win most rounds vs COlby, or knock him tfo.

Not sure how Colby wins a 3rd. I'd probably watch it. But he'd be long odds.

Name one legit MMA a trilogy after the first two fights go 2-0 in favor of one fighter.

Only ones I can think of are ortiz/shamrock and Silva/Sakuraba. It didn't work out well for the 0-2 fighters at all.

edgar vs penn
tito vs chuck

I feel like TS is Colby posting from his phone during his ambulance ride to the ER for his head CT.

If Rampage can beat wanderlei after the beatdown from the first two fights. Colby has a tiny chance. <Lmaoo>

 

[Oozing BDE]

Max might get one by the looks of it

Until it happens there is none. Frankie got robbed versus Bendo in their second fight and there was no trilogy.

 

[Ares Black]

That's literally impossible. Usman is already up 2-0.

 

[HHJ]

There is def no instant rematch needed for this.

Colby really needs to fight someone besides Usman that isnt 40 fuckin yrs old.

 

[Madeline Chelsea]

Never thought we’d see Covington look this good coming out of the fight. Can easily make a case for a draw. I personally scored it 48-47 for Colby.

Trilogy next!

Rampage/Silva
Chuck/Tito

 

[Zarathustra611]

Colby won rounds he got outstruck in? TWO of them?

I guess he must have scored pretty well for his takedow... oh wait he didn't get those either. Points for trying?

 

[Adamant]

It's 0-2. he can't

What if Colby goes 3-0 in his next 3? or 4-0?

Silva/Rampage

 

[HHJ]

lmao how can he win a trilogy when he lost the first two fights?

 

[Bubba Kid]

Rampage/Silva
Chuck/Tito

Silva/Rampage

True. Probably more that have slipped my mind aswell.

I said legit for a reason.

Ortiz-Shamrock was just a money fight for the UFC. Shamrock had no business fighting Tito a third time

Silva-Saku was in Pride, the land of freakshows

 

[PicoPulse]

You know what I scored this for Usman but I went back and watched rd 3 which is what I thought was the sway round and I think Colby did edge this out or a Draw either way I enjoyed the fight and clearly they are the best 2 170s currently

Draw if Usman gets rd 2 as 10-8

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Colby has nothing to offer. Usman clearly is not afraid of Colby’s power. He wasn’t afraid of it the first fight and he wasn’t afraid of it this fight. Even when Colby was landing in the 4th, Usman just backed off and reset. This is one of those time where you can say Usman wins 10/10 times.

@NorrisB

Very possible for a trilogy fight.

There is literally no possibility for a trilogy fight.
