Media Pre-Heel Colby talking being respectful and doesn’t talk trash

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

Super ironic…

 

[Brca031]

Its more like you have to sell your soul to make a buck even though you are elite.
Not everyone can be a company lap dog like DC.

 

[MoneyMcGrabber]

You wouldn’t be making a single post about him if he stayed that way.

 

[Reign009]

I wish fighters didn't have to come up with these gimmicks.

I don't blame them though, it's the fanbase that eats that shit up.

What a charming young lad.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Updated the thread for you so the video works.

You're welcome.

Or he was a wolf in sheep's clothing all along, and only decided to reveal his true self for the sake of his career (he's playing a nice guy character in this video, and his heel character is his true self)

 

[Midget Boxer]

He gets a lot of hype for a guy who's best win is Demian Maia

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

The issue with Colby is that I think he stopped pretending at a certain point

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

He probably realized that his style isn’t the most crowd-pleasing and he would need to find an alternative way to get people talking about him…

Chael Sonnen was the same way, except he was losing fights as well.

When your fights are boring as fuck, and your main skill is being the best at exercising, and you're not good enough to be a champion, and you're a huge douchebag, this happens.

 

[KOPPE]

You know its bad when Jones calls you a rotten human

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Who is the interviewer, and does she like super average sized cocks?

Your shit outta luck pal.

Your shit outta luck pal.

Damn, she prefers tiny cocks? I never should have gotten that surgery...

 

[SamuraiBro]

I remember this Colby, what a different time that was

 

[tucan89]

Back when he use to be a liberal

 

[corrupted]

I can't stand him. But they made him that way. He could've been marketed as he was, he was still winning. He has skills and knows how to fight and is tough. There are a bunch of guys out there that also fit that description. They pulled him in and said it wasn't enough. Make an ass of yourself or you're fired. it's what they asked for. And it worked.

 

[Brolypr]

says more about us than him that he is forced into this rick flair bs in order to sell tickets. Fact is, it has worked. Most fight fans like trash talkers. Why this is I have no idea. I have mostly gravitated towards the quiet unassuming types that just wreck shit up when its game time: fedor, randy, gsp....but I get that I'm in the minority in this

^This
We may hate it (or do we really hate it?), talking trash and being controversial elevates a fighters profile over and above just winning fights. A fighter probably still needs to win a good percentage of their fights, but personality and buzz is what attracts extra attention as well as bucks.
