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

[corrupted]

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.

I don't understand how this isn't brought up more.

It's so weird how in the UFC once you get a rank, you can never lose it and when you get a title shot, you can always get another title shot whenever. Even in divisions like LW and WW, which are actually full of good fighters

[d'Coda]

but we should give it to gilbert burns?

yes

 

[d'Coda]

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

Perhaps you should reread.

Nobody cries about Max not finishing fights.

 

[Human Bass]

Nobody cries about Max not finishing fights.

Max is a featherweight that damages hard his oponents. Colby is way bigger and seems afraid of going for a rnc even when the opponent exposes their back fully.

Check the Masvidal and Lawler fights, especially Lawler. Plenty of opportunities for rnc.

Nobody cries about Max not finishing fights.

Max isn't fighting 40 year old fighters on losing streaks.

He's also finished the GOAT of his weightclass twice, for what it's worth.

Gastelum is it 5 and a half years

 

[Psychojoe86]

Interesting stat.

I pick Colby beating Leon by decision then.

As a lover of cereal, i don't know how one can hate milk tbh.

It wasn't always tis bad

We have to consider Marty faking an eyepoke

Perhaps you should reread.

I love group activities! let's read it together!

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?

Okay so burns lost to Usman in 2021, and also beat masvidal who is now 0-4 since 2019 and now retired.

What did i miss? Lets not forget that Colby was significantly more competitive against usman opposed to getting finished in two.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Colby caused Tyron's injury and it finished him.

Made him scream in agony on live TV and beg for the stoppage.

Legit as it comes.

 

[J-Pac]

Meh, cherrypicking certain things to make him look bad. He's actually among the very best in the world and that is obvious to anyone who has watched him fight. His pace, wrestling, control, and overall toughness make him a massive threat to Leon regardless of how you feel about him. He's not a 'poor mans Usman', he's got a similar style but his cardio and pressure are better, albeit with less stopping power. Its a compelling fight if you aren't a whiny little bitch.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

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

Doesnt like to take risks and lose control. But apparently everyone is afraid of him. I dont like dogs humping my leg either so

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?

I'm surprised it was even that recent

Coulda sworn it'd have been longer
