Some insight on my issues with Colby....

[sadoquera]

nice to see some comments from someone inside the business.

loyalty and respect for the ones who taught the ones that taught you.

 

[TallGHunter]

Yeah, obviously. At least you can admit that.

But this thread isn't about any of that. Ben was very clear what his problem with Colby is.

My mis understanding? I thought it was about respect. I'm surprised that any fighter even goes to Brazil considering the respect Brazilian fans give visitors. Works both ways. I think national pride a good thing, but that does not excuse abusive behavior.

 

[MUSTANG!]

You have to get in line Ben, Colby jumped up to #3 in the rankings and there’s plenty of people calling him out, including guys in the top 10.

WOULD WATCH

So no problem with the brasilias shouting at him to be killed, spit on, objects thrown, but calling that acting like a dirty animal and sheethole place is unacceptable. I'm missing the objectiveness of this line of thought.

You should try reading the OP.

 

[TallGHunter]

Ben did I miss something (actually I miss quite a lot), did Colby say something directly about your instructor?

 

[Entram]

I'm on board

 

[Shocktagon]

A lot of what he he's said and done has left me with the impression that he is lacking in character, not just trying to play one.

 

[12ga.]

Did he defame him? All of what Colby said was untrue?

Easy remedy it's called litigation. Sue his ass. That how civilized people handle things so no one goes to jail. blood fueds and what not. Instead get paid.

Seriously no offence ben but your probably wasting energy calling out a top 5 UFC WW

He's probably busy you know... fighting for a world title soon

 

[joey gerbils]

Kobe Covington and Tyron Woodley should fight, neither is likeable and a double KO would seal the deal.

 

[JohnMandick]

I can't imagine getting that offended by what anyone says about anything.

Just gives you an insight into his personally, and now you know that he's a dick and ignore him (if it bothered you.).

To him, Brazil sucks. No big deal. I disagree.

He hasn’t fought anyone to earn a title shot. Maia. Who else? He doesn’t have a crowd pleasing style.
I would think he would be a few fights away from a title shot.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Always down for some KillaBee knees...

WAR @Ben Saunders!!!

Erm well considering he beat Maia who last fought for the title, I disagree with you on that alone
Without me saying, ok if Colbys two fights away, who the FUCK would you have fight woodley then genius? The division is weak

Did Colby respond to this?

For the record my issues with Colby is not about his comments towards Brazil though awful, he claims what he said was a Promo and then he ran for his life, I get it. In his eyes it was just business and a game he is playing, nothing more, or so he claims. I guess I understand that with the way things have been going these days, Conor made everyone think that you have to sell fights the way he does, and to get attention, so again I understand what Colby was trying to do. Even if he is terrible at it. He does have people talking and is going the heel approach.

But to come out and try and defame Ricardo Liborio, the man that basically created the gym Colby trains out of, as Dan Lambert alone would not have been able to form ATT without Libo, or at least in the same time frame and era in which ATT was formed.
None the less if your gonna talk shit and try to defame one of my mentors growing up and throughout my career, and attack a Legend in the sport who also happens to be the man that gave me my black belt, I ain't about that.

He can make a formal apology to Libo and his family for the comments he made, as those comments may also have been made to just be a dumb game of words Colby is playing to keep his WWE style persona intact. If he doesn't really mean the comments then he can take them back. As mistakes happen.

But if he wants to stand by his statements well then luckily enough for me he fights in the same organization and same weight class as me. I am just letting it be known if the opportunity arises that I would jump on this fight in a heartbeat. As styles make fights and my style would smash Colby's fucking face in and I would finger paint with his blood. Those who actually know me, and or been following my career closely know my skill set and know this is very possible.

If you are not directly connected, I don't expect you to understand. My comments are not some lame ass Promo. I am truly offended by what he said about someone I respect. I am old school and a true Martial artist, who believes in respect, honor, and loyalty. This isn't about stupid social media feuds, and trying to sell a fight. I hate bullies and ignorant people with no remorse.

When you fuck him up, give sherdog UFC forum an all out shout out
