Thoughts about Colby going to 155 division?

Just a guy at his natural weight class, not a pussy ass bitch cutting weight to fight smaller guys.
 
he beats everyone except Charles and Islam, specially Islam Makhechev

what do you guy think of Islam v Colby
 
No.

His cardio would be compromised and he would be even more pillow fisted.

And not to mention 155 is better than 170, from the top to bottom.
 
The only way Colby fights at 155 is if he cuts off his right leg and forms his own MMA org showcasing disabled fighters.
 
Colby did an AMA about 5 years ago and said that he rehydrates to 182-185 lbs come fight night. The heaviest lightweights generally don't get above 180 lbs (Tibau was 181) and Colby's cardio will be severely diminished even if he does adjust his body composition.
 
He can't make 155 do yall not see how lean he is? Where the hell is he going to take 15 lbs off..

He has dominated everyone he has fought at WW and just can't beat the top guy who happens to be one of the best WW of all time.. no shame in that.. I'd still favor him over anybody at WW besides Usman.

If he waits long enough Usman will retire or get beat by another contender and Colby can have a crack at the belt again.. but he won't sniff the belt if Usman is holding it

I see people write this stuff about Colby and its hilarious. If you've ever competed in wrestling or MMA you know Colby Covington cannot make 155lbs since he was a teenager.

He wrestled 174lbs in college, becoming an All-American. He's lean as shit and BONE DRY on the scale making 170lbs. People confuse size with walk around weight. Colby is a consummate professional and doesn't get out of shape between fights. Some guys are wise not to blow up and have to do hero weight cuts every camp, Colby is one of them.

He's a middle-of-the-pack sized welterweight. He can't lose another 15lbs.
 
What's Islam going to do to him? Dominate him on the ground because he was able to do so against a few strikers? It's a good fight, and idk who wins. Moises took Islam down lol.
 
He looks lean at 170. He's not a big 170er, but his body doesn't look like he's carrying anything extra. I think he'll give up some muscle and strength if he goes down.
 
Colby is never making 155. The man has been cutting weight his entire life and has likely mastered the practice. He's already incredibly lean at WW. If it were possible, he would already be there.
 
If he hasn't already, a test cut to 155 is logical just to see.

lol I remember people saying this about Aldo. About how FW was SUCH a big weight cut for him that there was no way he could make 135, especially at his age.

Frankie didn't start fighting at his natural weight until a few years ago. Don't assume you know what motivates people you don't know
