Colby calling out Dustin is one of the worst call outs ever

[The Legendary Scarface]

I mean my boy Fiziev calling out Vince Vaughn makes more sense.

Colby just beat Mas, who is his first current top 15 win at WW , and there's guys like Khamzat, Luque, Muhammad, but you call out a LW???

Who exactly would wanna see this fight? Dustin is probably an easier matchup than Mas. Smh

 

[Goosemen]

Poirer doesn't want it.

He's trying to goad him into that fight because it's the last big money he has before the inevitable Khamzat clash should he wipe out Burns.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Dustin has a licking coming and they both dislike eachother Dustin is also too big for LW now

let them bang

 

[Portland8242]

I might be way out to lunch here but I really think Colby could get a 3rd fight with Usman if he takes out Khamzat and maybe a Luque or something.

 

[dracul]

at least he didn't call for a title shot

doesn't deserves another one anytime soon

as far as DP
NO ONE wants to see a big ww go up against a lw in a humping match

 

[Willek]

Avoids the top 5 Welterweights to fight Dustin for more money.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Calling out someone in a lighter weight class to avoid potentially getting matched up with a fighter that’ll instantly wreck your legacy is a pretty smart move tbh

 

[boyer]

Dustin's a little bit smarter than Jorge. He knows he can't win.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Colby is grudgematching. Otherwise the only other fight would be Usman or maybe a #1 contender fight at the end of 2022 to fight usman early '23.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Dustin is also too big for LW now

Based on what?

 

[fight_fiend]

Dustin talked 170 so I don't think it's that far fetched. I personally wouldn't mind that match-up so I'm not mad at it.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

With two losses to Usman and the UFC repeatedly proving rankings barely matter for title shots, you can make a pretty straightforward argument it's a more optimal choice to fight good name fighters that pose less challenge than true-blue contenders.

Just keep the winning streak in play and brand high(ish) level until we get a new champion or until Usman abdicates.

 

[MonkeyPickAss]

He isn't worried about those people you mentioned, they are ranked below him. He can't fight Marty again so why not go make some easy money of a dude who has a lot to say about him. Worry about those other fighters another day.

 

[LincolnHawk1]

In a straight striking match I’m pretty positive Dustin would piece him up. But it’s mma and we all know Colby wrestles the majority of time. Dustin is too small for him would get mauled.

 

[mjfan23]

Based on what?

Not based on results but Dustin after his last fight said he might be done cutting to 156

 

[chino3]

Hasn’t DP been running his mouth about Colby?

 

[ryun253]

I wouldn't mind.
Saku was the Gracie Hunter.
Colby is the ATT Hunter

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Is it? There’s a real issue between the two and Dustin is getting too big for LW while Colby is a small WW. I don’t hate it. Dustin has talked a lot of shit about Colby and vice versa

 

[Bearknuckle]

I might be way out to lunch here but I really think Colby could get a 3rd fight with Usman if he takes out Khamzat and maybe a Luque or something.

I think usman loses the belt or retires before be fights colby again. I could see leon or khamzat vs colby in the future for the belt.

 

[GrantB13]

Colby isn't getting a third shot at Usman. At least not anytime in the foreseeable future. He could beat every other contender but it would be a tough sell to send him to another title fight going in 0-2. If MMA fighters fought like old school kickboxers and fought several times a year you could justify fighting the same guy multiple times but when in MMA you only need 1-2 wins to get another title shot it just doesn't work.

His best career move might be to try to cash in on a potential Poirier rivalry. Even though I don't really like the "narrative" fights.
