It's been 6 years, 7 months, and 29 days since...

Colby Covington won a fight with a (non injury related) finish

Against Max Griffin on Mcgregor vs Diaz 2 on August 20th 2016



And we're supposed to believe this guy is so exciting he deserves a title shot after losing to Usman (again) in 2021 and then beating Masvidal who's 0-4 since 2019 and now retired?

The way he said, "suckah", was funny to me.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Barack Obama was still President back then to. Time sure flies

I didn't believe you so I had to look it up.
Turns out it's true.
It's damn true.

[OldBoy91]

And people think he might actually win lol.

35 years old, hasn't beaten anybody that wasn't 38 and 0-2 in half decade. Hasn't finished anybody in longer than that.

Fighting perhaps the most underrated fighter in the division still, certainly the most underrated champion.

Prognosis is not good Colby fans.

 

[Human Bass]

He is all volume. The weird thing is that his sub game is very poor, he seems afraid of going for submissions.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Colby is a very good fighter but honestly, I don’t think he beats Leon. A lot of pros and fans believe Colby got this, surprisingly.

but we should give it to gilbert burns?

 

[ninja boot]

Imagine being so rattled by an athlete in a fighting sport where its inevitable that he's going to get punched in the face and then actually complaining about it. lol
Instead of outing yourself as butthurt maybe consider being productive and start a new off-topic section to the forum called the cry closet. This can be the first thread moved there.

And when I said this in another thread I was attacked by the wild dogs lol.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Show hespect… You’re talking about the P4P #1 rank squat, WW contender

 

[Johnnny]

Yet he still has almost twice as many victories by finish in the UFC as Belal Muhammad.

 

[HockeyBjj]

A guy with 6 finishes since 2016 as opposed to 1, and is 3-1 since losing to Usman in 2021 (which they both did) instead of a single fight since then?

Yeah. It does make sense when you put it that way

 

[Stagliano]

Funniest thing is that Colby fans are calling Usman snoozeman and says that he's boring although he's trying to go for the kill unlike Colby.

 

[VinceArch]

but we should give it to gilbert burns?

Certainly a better choice than Colby.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Certainly a better choice than Colby.

but all those things he said apply to burns too, Makes it sound super biased

 

[Sweater of AV]

but all those things he said apply to burns too, Makes it sound super biased

No, they don’t. Burns has only beat Masvidal since losing to Usman?

There’s a pretty big difference.

 

[VinceArch]

but all those things he said apply to burns too, Makes it sound super biased

Burns has been active whereas Colby hasn't. You know that.

 

[nostradumbass]

Yes?

I mean Leon got a title shot when his only finish since 2016 was a sketchy ref stoppage with literally 1 second left, and his only win at all since 2019 was now retired journeyman Nate Diaz who almost finished him.

Masvidal was #6 when Colby fought him, and 50-44'd him. How is he responsible for the guy retiring more than a year later?
