Will Colby talk his way into another title shot?

[blaseblase]

The UFC has sneakily moved him up a spot in the rankings to no 4 due to Burns losing. Usman's at middleweight now so it's really no 3. Let's say he fights and beats Wonderboy and sits out a year again. If Belal or Shavkat beat Leon he's right there and will start building heat with whoever the champion is.

After his last performance I sure hope he never fights for the title again. Although if shavkat wins I wouldn't mind seeing him slaughter Colby

 

[Pharenheit]

No.

Welterweight was a bit stagnant, but you now have so many people lining up for title shots now before Colby:
- Belal
- JDM
- Ian Garry
- MVP
- Shavkat
- Chimaev
- Makhachev

Could all look like worthy contenders by the end of 2024, if some haven't already fought for the belt by then

He deserves the next shot. Let Belal get a few more wins or actually beat contenders

give belaal the title shot so we don't need to see his face ever again

I think not he's had so many kicks at the can time to fight real contenders in his division.

Colby deserves it more than all those guys. Let’s be fair here

I can only imagine him trying to trash talk Shavkat.

 

[CJrider]

If Shavkat fights and loses to JDM, obviously bump Colby up to #3 and give him a shot. Why should he bother fighting! It just makes sense.

 

[skylolow]

I don't think so unless it's a last minute call up and Colby doesn't seem to jump at those opportunities in the past.

 

[Tweak896]

No way, 3 chances is all his talk can get him. Maybe if he takes out title contenders and other title contenders get out of the running.

I mean, sure... But not without at least another win or two

Colby vs MVP ( #1 contender ) on a UK Card

 

[jitzmonkey]

We can reasonably expect (due to prior Colby precedent) that he'd get a title shot if he beats Ian Machado Garry, JDM, or even MVP (don't @ me, I believe that they'd use that as justification.

If Shavkat fights and loses to JDM, obviously bump Colby up to #3 and give him a shot. Why should he bother fighting! It just makes sense.

Again, due to prior precedent, I wouldn't be surprised.

Would be 100% unsurprised if this were to occur.

 

[Bluntforce420]

Cant imagine it with how Dana criticized his last title shot performance

Once he said that, I knew Colbys days in title contention were over

His best shot would be a last mintue, last ditch effort to save a card by filling in for someone

 

[suprah]

Colby fights at ww when alot of people bigger than him fight at lightweight. I respect him for that. AND FLORIDA BROS REPRESENT UH UH......well except sucker punchers.

Colby deserves it more than all those guys. Let’s be fair here
