Colby talks alotta booolsheet.time to sign the contract

 

[ECC170]

Colbys probably busy trying to dig up dirt on rda so he can snitch him out then talk garbage about shit he's got no clue about... if Colby becomes half the fighter he is a snitch he will be the G.O.A.T with ease.

 

[Rambo John J]

I think he kicks CCs leg clean off

Will this be another Dana White “we never offered that fight to either guy, we want 90% of the top 10 fighters in every division to sit on their hands without a fight scheduled so we can fill PPV’s with no name fighters and jack up the price” moment?

I hope Covington beats RDA so we can see him fight Woodley.

Colby vs T-Wood has fireworks written all over it!

That fight might actually force my hand to root for Woodley, which I want no part of.

Perfect scenario: RDA embarrasses Colby then proceeds to molly-whoop Woodley and take his belt so the UFC can sweep him under the rug like they want to.

Let's be honest though, RDA ain't fucking beating Woodley

No, probably not. Woodley is the master at avoiding fighting these days.

I hate to compliment him, but he knows how to prepare for fights (and yes I think he lost that second Wonderboy fight, but still).

RDA doesn't have the tools to beat Woodley.

Condit got all kinds of shit for the Diaz fight, but at least he fucking threw! Woodley set the record for the LEAST amount of punches thrown in a title fight LMAO!

He ran and threw but yeah. He had an especially active 4th round (the only round I think he won).

Woodley doesn't want to take risks and lose his title bc he gets paid more as champion, but what he doesn't realize is that by being so boring, he's turning fans against him.

He can go for the finish while still playing it safe. It's not as black and white as he made it look in the Maia fight.

Real fight fans know Condit won the Diaz fight. The folks who try to shit on Condit are insane, they are saying he should have just planted his feet in the center of the cage and have a boxing match with Diaz lol. How the fuck does someone even run away in a cage fight, you are in a fucking cage LOL, you would think after Lyoto won the title years ago folks would be wise to a guy fighting smart, compared to a guy running.

Condit vs Nick Diaz, was as smart fight but Condit that he earned the win

The closest thing to a guy actually avoiding a fight would be the shit show Houston Alexander gave against Kimbo Slice, RIP. Houston literally stayed on the out part of the cage that entire fight and did not try to engage at all, Condit used movement, knew how to quickly get away from Nick when Nick would try to smother him and then would come back with stirkes using like every part of his being.

How folks call that fight reveals much about their fight IQ

Colby's just waiting for his security detail's contract to be finalized.

Cuz Colby will be walking out to Octagon like this

 

[Hwoarang]

This match up is an insult to RDA.
Former lw champion, in his last match he absolutely destroyed Lawler the former ww champ.
RDA's been around for ages and fought and beaten some if the top guys in the sport. Only top tier guy coby has beaten is a hand picked stylistic favourable match up in domain maia.
And it's not like tyrone has a sensible match up to be had apart from RDA.
Why isn't he fighting for the belt??

 

[CRE]

RDA is a beast at Welterweight. Very sturdy.

I can't fully agree with you on that one. It was way too close of a fight to say that someone is 100% wrong if they felt that either guy won. Condit had the edge in strikes landed, and Nick had the edge in aggressiveness.

In my time as an MMA fan, this was EASILY the most debated fight. It went on and on for years and still gets referenced. It all boils down to what someone personally feels is most important in the judging criteria. I never cared much for the fight because it was obvious that Condit was only trying to win a decision. His strikes were not much more than point-fighting pot shots. While that's a 'smart' plan on his part, considering how Nick is pretty much impossible to finish, I felt that it showed a lack of confidence in his own ability.

There is no way his coaches, training partners, or family like him. Not sure about classmates.

The most disappointing thing about the fight was that Condit fought completely different from pretty much any other showing. I agree, it seemed to show a lack of confidence.

For that, I lean towards Nick winning the actual fight, while Condit won by points and avoiding a fight.

If I was Colby I wouldn't go anywhere near Brazil.

It does seem crazy that the UFC would even have him fight there. It’s got disaster written all over it.

That's what I'm thinking. If he gets serious assaulted - or even assassinated - we have to look at the UFC and say "you knew how hated he was there... why would you put an athlete in that kind of danger?"
