Colby sold himself out for a character. Disrespected Matt Hughes about his accident, spoke on Masvidal's family, dissed Leon's deceased father, called Brazil a dump, and so much more BS, all for money. He gained funds but lost almost everything of true value, including his friends and teammates. Sure, the schtick helped his career and gained him a lot of shallow fans, but with one loss, look how they all turned on him and booed him out of the arena. Thats what he gets for throwing respect and honor out for money and attention.
I've been saying it for ages Americans are a bunch of whimps, no true warrior spirit inside any of them. Colonisers were only brave with modern advanced weaponry for their time when invading other countries and thieving their goods,land,raping women and enslaving blacks. Pure Rotten souls with no fight inside of them.
Colby deserving this shot in the first place is very debatable, so there's no way after losing it like this he can just go into another title eliminator.
It's not debatable. He did NOT deserve the title shot and it showed in the fight. He lost to Usman twice and beat two washed-up fighters. That's 2-2 in his last 4. Then he was inactive for 2 years. How does he get a title shot after that? With Dana White privilege and his big mouth, that's how. Now he has to pay for writing a check that he couldn't cash.
@@dnam727 Hmm...a big mouth who attacks a person's family, who has no respect for anyone, who is a racist that claims white privilege? Gee...I wonder who he takes after?
Anytime Colby fights someone not coming off multiple losses and under the age of 40 he gets washed. He avoided the top five and some how talked his way into 3 title fights. Super overrated and finally getting exposed

Dude wonder boy fucks colby up he wrestled good against shavkat and I’m willing to bet shavkat chokes out Covington. WB would put on a striking master class against colby and stop the takedown
Acting like he got KO'd instead of Leon outpointing him by 3-5 sig strikes in R1-3 and then getting outstruck by Colby in R4 & 5 lol. All that after Leon said he'd end Colby for the dead-dad comments

Colby looked so slow and weak tonight. The only reason why he ended on top at the end of round 5 was because Leon got too emotional and was set on out-grappling Colby instead of getting back to his feet. Colby's finished.
I think if leon would've thrown more punches he could've finished colby. He made colby back down almost the whole fight and had multiple opportunities to put it on him when colby was against the fence but didn't really. He's a phenomenal fighter but i think with a higher output he'd have more finishes. He reminds me a lot of adesanya with his style. The way he moves, reacts, switches stance and feints is a beauty to watch if you're a striker or someone who loves seeing a striker of his caliber. But again he coasts too much for me he needs that killer instinct, somebody that can bring it out. That's his only weakness so to say in my opinion but who am I 😂😂
I feel like the gimmick is going to end in a sad way for him, after that performance where he won 1min he’s surely behind some of the more deserving guys, and at 35 a serious title run may be behind him. He’s going to be remembered as a guy who never became champ and said and did some deplorable things along the way.. 🤦🏾
That's what I thought, too. He was betting AGAINST himself all 5 rounds... but Leon messed up a bit, when Leon went for the rear naked attempt. Otherwise, Colby could have won many millions by losing 5 rounds to 0... And his stupid fans thought he's gonna make them all rich, the D1 with magical pressure, magical cardio... who's gonna rag doll poor, hapless Leon from beginning to end! LOL
@@tdsetffr7350that’s the most winnable fight for Colby against an ACTUAL young up and comer but really he should be getting served up by Burns (JDM fight is in talks but not official), Shavkat, or Belal. All of them beat Colby handily, wouldn’t even be surprised if Brady beat him or at least make it hard
"What's next for Colby Covington?" Wonderboy Thompson. A former great fighter coming off a loss. Perfect opponent for Colby Covington. I have looked at Colby Covington's UFC record. He has never beaten a PEAK WW. LOL
@@dnam727 you only call them washed cause colby beat them. Tyron was washed and masvidal was higher in the rankings than he shouldve been due to some luck. RDA was was incredibly good when colby fought him.
@berosar LOL let's get the facts straight. RDA was 35 and had been fighting something like 15 years when he faced Colby. He has been 4-6 since that fight. Tyron was 38 and on a 2 fight losing streak, and would go on to lose 3 more if you include the boxing matches against Paul, a youtuber with no experience. Robbie was 37 at the very end of his rope, 1-3 in his last 4 leading up to the Colby fight. He would go on to lose more before retiring. It was literally Kim's last fight of a 20-plus year career if you count his yu-do days, or 13 years just MMA. Maia was 41 and had been fighting for nearly 20 years. Colby is a good fighter, but he beat all the guys I listed when they were slowing down signifantly or outright done. Truth hurts doesn't it? Leon made the Colby fans cry again, and likely finished his career at the top for good. He's going back to fighting old guys like Wonderboy now, because he knows Shavkat will run him over.
@@dnam727 and who has Leon beat? Eye picked Belal and doesn’t want to fight him again, says no to Belal/MVP/Rahkmad. Didn’t even want to fight Colby after winning the belt by luck. Doesn’t want to fight anybody and just be champ. And for all these people crying about Colby being 35, Leon is 32 so with that logic a couple more fights and he will be washed up soon. No legacy.
Or he’s just trying to get his points across quickly because they’re on live tv and he has a lot to say? Obviously I don’t know for sure, but considering he doesn’t even drink or smoke weed, I think it would be highly unlikely that he’s snorting Coke.
Or he's on those meds that he was on when he beat up the middle aged woman and her husband in a Las Vegas hotel hallway, that nobody ever talks about any more.
Bro Chael fought Prime versions of Anderson Paolo Filho and Jon Jones, he's an actual mad man💀 And he walked down Fedor Wanderlei The Dragon and Rampage who were all throwing nukes at him. Him and Colby are simply not on the same level.
@@davidpineda9160 also just a better fighter. Beat up Anderson Silva in his prime, before he lost with 2 minutes left. Beat up an undefeated Paulo Filho for the WEC MW Belt, beat future champ Michael Bisping, beat Rampage and subbed Shogun. Accepted a fight against Jon Jones on short notice when no one else would. He also had 8+ top 5 wins which I believe was a record for a time, and that doesn’t include all the guys he beat that would later go on to be in the top 5 (Olyenik, Babalu etc.). Dude was the second best middleweight in the world behind Anderson and wasn’t afraid of anyone…
Anik and chael said the same thing about khamzat after he beat burns “main event vs Colby” but we know colby ducked khamzat he absolutely gonna duck shavkat just like he did khamzat he knows he gets outgrsppled and out struck badly
I said this for years when people were telling me how dominant this guy was- he ducks all real competition and handpicks easy matchups. Its easy to dominate against washed strikers with no wrestling ( woodley was coming off like 45 losses in a row). There is a reason the UFC literally couldnt get a hold of him for close to a year when they were trying to set up khazmat. This guy is a coward, doesnt even write his own lines, and is the most overrated fighter in the history of the sport.
Exactly. People who really know what they’re looking at knew that narrative was BS. Colby’s timid approach in the fight with Leon told me what I knew for years- this guy was not going to look dominant against other fighters in their primes. It was already proved when he ran into the wall that was Usman. It’s why he was afraid to unify his interim title with Tyron Woodley before the verdict was out that Tyron was washed (and lost the only matchup where it was at least possible to win the championship) . It’s why he avoided fighting guys like Usman and Leon (who both called him out prior to winning the belt) when they were contenders and ducked the rest of the actual contenders in the division. It’s why he only fights washed veterans and sits and waits for title shots. He’s absolutely a fraud.
people talk about 'pressure' but you have to get into boxing range to pressure Leon and he'll counter you, some of these delusional Colby fans acted like Leon immediately melts under pressure as if it wasn't something Usman already heavily implemented
I think what Leon did to Colby was worse than if he would have KO'd him. Colby's entire career is derailed now, he got absolutely dominated and had the crowd turn on him after the fight. His reputation is destroyed. No one will want to pay to see him again. Getting Ko'd, people will just say he got caught and that's what happens. but getting dominated? that ruins all of his future plans.
It's not what Leon did to Colby, it is what Colby did. Leon sucked, he had amazing accuracy, power and precision, he had great ringmanship and great skill and fought against a timid Colby, yet he could not capitalize on anything, he didn't follow up on anything, it was the most boring fight I ever seen. Colby absolutely sucked, he didn't lose the fans because of Leon, he lost his fans because of himself, he just stood there taking leg kicks and did absolutely nothing. He talked all the talk that he was gonna step on the pedal and run him over, but when it came to the fight, he did nothing. Most boring fight ever.
I grew up loving UFC from the beginning but this is a sad day. I think Colby Covington as good of fighter he is bad for the UFC. I understanding selling the fight and maintaining that edge but what he said about Leon Edwards dad was completely out of line. MMA was about celebrating different fighting styles and cultures. I remember I would be happy just witnessing the awesome level of competition before and that was enough. I hope it goes back to that cause whatever this is, its not it. First time I purposely did not watch the fight smh
You sound dumb af, they lock ppl in a cage who want to kill each other and your over here crying about words. Its a damned gladiator sport, not a celebration of martial arts you moron.
Im actually a fan of the entertainment era but what the seans and Colby and Dricus have been doing is just weird behavior. Mike Perry on the other hand is the best of these lot. He insults his opponents but theres no malice there other than the punches he's tryna be funny. These othere dudes are just flat crazy😅
If I can give one piece of purely unsolicited advice to Chael, a man who has achieved more than I ever will. Slow down dude. People respect your take. You can take a pace, no squeeze necessary. You’re the best on the mic
He tends to do this on ESPN a lot. You're right. People aren't looking at him to solve some complex riddle as fast as possible. We're looking at him 👀 cus we respect his take.
Hope Colby now realizes he cant fight once in 2020, once in 2021, once in 2022, and once in 2023 and expect to be champ. Hes gotta get back in there early next year. Burns makes a lot of sense.
@@djt8870 I agree he has to fight early next year but the Gilbert fight isn't a option he is booked for 299 against JDM. Colby is probably gonna choose Wonderboy because that would be the "easiest" fight.
Everyone knows he's gonna pick the loser for draft kings and prize picks sponsor him. His entire TH-cam channel is built on the premise that he can get people to make shady bets/purchases 😂
People act like the fight ended at the press conference especially lame brain american colby fans. Rocky had 2 days to refocus back to the plan. Not hard to do if you a pro
@@5luelight726 And he's bigger/stronger. Looked huge in there compared to Colby. The only chance Colby had was to set a high pace but he wasn't willing to go through the fire of Edwards striking to make it a dirty fight.
Colby's last 3 wins are against guys who are currently retired. Having him in a title eliminator or letting him hold the division up any further after a performance like that at 35 (36 by his next fight) is laughable
Stop scratching your heads people, Colby was NEVER that great. He grinded out some decision victories against a couple of known guys, the rest of the victories were cans, and lost to everyone else. Got a sweetheart matchup for his interim. And somehow everyone thinks he's god-tier.
Why not give Belal a shot at the title? Colby haven't fought in how long(2yrs)…and comes back with a title shot. Belal has been here grinding and can only get "Friendly Mentions"...
He completely misunderstood what Chael said. That’s why Chael corrected him and he changed his response… Chael was heavily critical of Colby tonight at the analyst table. Farthest thing from a fanboy.
It's tough envisioning a scenario where Colby is incentivized to fight a prospect like Rakhmonov knowing how much of a risk it is when his title opportunities are likely over.
It’s a BIG risk, but it probably puts Colby quite close to yet another chance if he beats Shavkhat. I don’t like Colby at all I think he’s a waste of oxygen but if I were in his shoes, and if he’s truly about it, that’s the road he needs to take. He would silence a lot of people if he beat Shavkhat.
Colby can still fight, just not the top guys anymore. No shame in that. Plenty of guys making a living in the ufc that are not fighting for a championship. It's up to him if that is good enough for him or if he wants to retire. Its his business.
Belal vs. Leon should be next, I know people dont like Belal but he is due for a title fight. Then Colby vs. Shavkat, time to feed Colby to the rising stars if he still up for the challenge that he deserve a high rank.
colby vs dustin is the fight to make they’re both in the same situation they wanna fight top ranked opponent but simply just aren’t that good anymore🤷🏾♂️
Colby and tony are done....and the fans are done with him too. One can't talk that amount of bad trash talking and then perform as slow and old as he did. (maybe create a "dumbest clown belt and have Colby and Tony fight for it)
Like father like son. Sonnen lost 3 title fights, Colby lost 3 title fights. Neither of them deserve their rematches and use their mouths to skip the rankings
We all knew colby didn't deserve this, he does NOT have a successful track record against top competition in the past 4 to 5 years, it's just the reality.. plus a two year LOA is not easy to over come for a fighter, it just was what it was
1:35 Chael is such a toolbox… Usman beat Masvidal TWICE before Colby fought Masvidal. Usman was the BMF that Colby never beat. Colby is a top 5 fighter. A solid fighter. He will never be a champion though.
Colby’s career exactly mirrors chaels unironically and I wouldn’t be surprised if he only fights 2 more times and calls it a day. Khamzat Dustin Sean and Belal are the only fights that make sense for him stylistically speaking and even tension wise however we all know he probably won’t fight any of them(maybe Belal if he’s denied a title shot)
Don’t understand the criticism of Leon from Joe or anyone after that at all. Has now dominated the number 1 and 2 best wrestlers in the hardest div in the hardest promotion. Kept emotions cool despite everything, which shows he’s a true champ
What a terrible suggestion for UFC 300, i'm not sure that u want 300 to forever be remembered for The Snoozer. Leon went back to his roots, putting people to sleep 😴 A reminder of why he was The Belal before Belal. If u put the two together at 300, it's "absolutely positively" going to be a snoozer. Let UK have it, they'll cheer nomatter what, as long as it's a Brit in there.
Colby needs to go to 155. Leon was way too big for him. Probably close to 200lbs in the fight. Colby was maybe 175lbs. Honestly wasn't even a fair fight and thats Colbys fault. Gotta cut that weight.
No way, Edwards has took down and defended Usman and Colbys wrestling and they’re 2 elite wrestlers. You think Shavkat is the favourite on the ground because he submitted wonderboy? F wonderboy he got outwrestled by houston jones who’s a TH-camr🤣 EDWARDS HAS THE ADVANTAGE ON THE GROUND v Shavkat.
I love the entertainment Colby gave us over the years, but it’s been 3 title shots that he just couldn’t win and it was fun while it lasted. Props to Leon for pulling out the win (I’m no hater).
Colby bootlickington 0 wins against current ranked welterweights. Ran from all of the top contenders.... shavkat, Gilbert, Belal the racist, khamzat (when he was there) and he couldn't even finish a washed up masvidal. Calls 911 like a woman does. And as boring as Belal, guess what? He has more finishes than colby bootlickington, AND amazingly has a few ranked wins lmfao 🤣 Colby is the most overrated fighter in the welterweight class and this is why
@@440-fishermandrock8 I’m not sure Usman who was once champ would call Colby overrated. He simply couldn’t get it done. For what I understand, he lost 3 rounds to 2. That’s just not gonna cut it to win a championship belt.
@@halbronco7690 I heard the commentary for this fight. It sounded like he lost the first 3 rounds for sure and won the last two. Did the scorecard for the last two rounds say different? Anyone know?
The only way Edwards v Belal happens is if it's on the same card as Aspinal in the UK or something. It's not a big enough fight to headline, the UFC knows the numbers will be awful.
U just hope the whole Colby delusion fades away now because he had people really thinking he is this really dominant guy who could ragdoll even MWs, i’ve seen people say that Colby would run through Strickland, Izzy, Poatan, and all the MWs
Outside of the ring Chael has really come in to his own as a martial arts analyst and expert. I just wanted to put that out there and say, I see you Chael Sonnen.

@@dnam727 you only call them washed cause colby beat them. Tyron was washed and masvidal was higher in the rankings than he shouldve been due to some luck. RDA was was incredibly good when colby fought him.
@berosar LOL let's get the facts straight. RDA was 35 and had been fighting something like 15 years when he faced Colby. He has been 4-6 since that fight. Tyron was 38 and on a 2 fight losing streak, and would go on to lose 3 more if you include the boxing matches against Paul, a youtuber with no experience. Robbie was 37 at the very end of his rope, 1-3 in his last 4 leading up to the Colby fight. He would go on to lose more before retiring. It was literally Kim's last fight of a 20-plus year career if you count his yu-do days, or 13 years just MMA. Maia was 41 and had been fighting for nearly 20 years. Colby is a good fighter, but he beat all the guys I listed when they were slowing down signifantly or outright done. Truth hurts doesn't it? Leon made the Colby fans cry again, and likely finished his career at the top for good. He's going back to fighting old guys like Wonderboy now, because he knows Shavkat will run him over.
@@dnam727 and who has Leon beat? Eye picked Belal and doesn’t want to fight him again, says no to Belal/MVP/Rahkmad. Didn’t even want to fight Colby after winning the belt by luck. Doesn’t want to fight anybody and just be champ. And for all these people crying about Colby being 35, Leon is 32 so with that logic a couple more fights and he will be washed up soon. No legacy.
Chael on that Conor blow, Jesus
lmfao
Or he’s just trying to get his points across quickly because they’re on live tv and he has a lot to say? Obviously I don’t know for sure, but considering he doesn’t even drink or smoke weed, I think it would be highly unlikely that he’s snorting Coke.
@@Pred439 well thats reassuring for us all, because something is going on.
got the purple lipstick out too
Or he's on those meds that he was on when he beat up the middle aged woman and her husband in a Las Vegas hotel hallway, that nobody ever talks about any more.
He followed on Chael's footsteps: Failing when it mattered the most time after time.
The difference is when Chael left the sport he had the love, admiration and respect from the majority of his peers and pundits, whereas Colby has not…
Bro Chael fought Prime versions of Anderson Paolo Filho and Jon Jones, he's an actual mad man💀 And he walked down Fedor Wanderlei The Dragon and Rampage who were all throwing nukes at him.
Him and Colby are simply not on the same level.
@@shadow_realm47chael is the Buffalo Bills of the 1990s
@@Pred439 He is a better person and a MUCH better "heel". Just smarter in general.
@@davidpineda9160 also just a better fighter. Beat up Anderson Silva in his prime, before he lost with 2 minutes left. Beat up an undefeated Paulo Filho for the WEC MW Belt, beat future champ Michael Bisping, beat Rampage and subbed Shogun. Accepted a fight against Jon Jones on short notice when no one else would. He also had 8+ top 5 wins which I believe was a record for a time, and that doesn’t include all the guys he beat that would later go on to be in the top 5 (Olyenik, Babalu etc.).
Dude was the second best middleweight in the world behind Anderson and wasn’t afraid of anyone…
Congrats from the 🇺🇸, Leon. And thank you for taking out Dana White’s Trash 🗑.
Leons father was actual trash.
Chael speaks at 300 miles a second
Im glad im not the only one noticing he aint coming up for air. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anik and chael said the same thing about khamzat after he beat burns “main event vs Colby” but we know colby ducked khamzat he absolutely gonna duck shavkat just like he did khamzat he knows he gets outgrsppled and out struck badly
Colby 'cautious' Covington vs Dilon Danis. Book it
Even as a Colby fan, it was embarrassing for me. The guy looked scared. Never thought I would say this.
At least you can be honest about it ... 👍✊
How can you genuinely be a fan of someone like that? Check your moral compass.
@@footballhd1111I'm not a Colby fan but you can't generalize them all and then tell them to check their moral compass. Yours isn't exactly true.

Jon pushing a paper off the table then catching it in mid air and not breaking stride was the highlight of this segment.
He goes away. That’s all. He goes away and never steps foot in the octagon again.
when is the last time Colby finished someone? anyone? I dont even remember it lmao...
Woodley I believe.
injury
@@Fredhamleclerc Colby injured him? I vaguely remember something about that but forgot the details.
@@Fatdecember meh. wasnt real finish just woodley was on his deathbed, career wise
@@AIAudiobooks411 A win is a win 🤷♂️
I said this for years when people were telling me how dominant this guy was- he ducks all real competition and handpicks easy matchups. Its easy to dominate against washed strikers with no wrestling ( woodley was coming off like 45 losses in a row). There is a reason the UFC literally couldnt get a hold of him for close to a year when they were trying to set up khazmat. This guy is a coward, doesnt even write his own lines, and is the most overrated fighter in the history of the sport.
Exactly. People who really know what they’re looking at knew that narrative was BS. Colby’s timid approach in the fight with Leon told me what I knew for years- this guy was not going to look dominant against other fighters in their primes. It was already proved when he ran into the wall that was Usman. It’s why he was afraid to unify his interim title with Tyron Woodley before the verdict was out that Tyron was washed (and lost the only matchup where it was at least possible to win the championship) . It’s why he avoided fighting guys like Usman and Leon (who both called him out prior to winning the belt) when they were contenders and ducked the rest of the actual contenders in the division. It’s why he only fights washed veterans and sits and waits for title shots. He’s absolutely a fraud.
people talk about 'pressure' but you have to get into boxing range to pressure Leon and he'll counter you, some of these delusional Colby fans acted like Leon immediately melts under pressure as if it wasn't something Usman already heavily implemented
Chael “Colby was never my friend” Sonnen
He’s known Colby since he was 15-16. Maybe even younger. Doesn’t mean he can’t be critical.
Common man Colby was asking for it when he commented on the dad. You simply can't support your friend if they're going down on the wrong path.
Leon looked so much bigger and faster than Colby. He completely outclassed him.
I think what Leon did to Colby was worse than if he would have KO'd him. Colby's entire career is derailed now, he got absolutely dominated and had the crowd turn on him after the fight. His reputation is destroyed. No one will want to pay to see him again. Getting Ko'd, people will just say he got caught and that's what happens. but getting dominated? that ruins all of his future plans.
It's not what Leon did to Colby, it is what Colby did. Leon sucked, he had amazing accuracy, power and precision, he had great ringmanship and great skill and fought against a timid Colby, yet he could not capitalize on anything, he didn't follow up on anything, it was the most boring fight I ever seen. Colby absolutely sucked, he didn't lose the fans because of Leon, he lost his fans because of himself, he just stood there taking leg kicks and did absolutely nothing. He talked all the talk that he was gonna step on the pedal and run him over, but when it came to the fight, he did nothing. Most boring fight ever.
I never wanted to pay to see him in the first place.
Well said
@@fred.flintstone4099YOU suck
I grew up loving UFC from the beginning but this is a sad day. I think Colby Covington as good of fighter he is bad for the UFC. I understanding selling the fight and maintaining that edge but what he said about Leon Edwards dad was completely out of line. MMA was about celebrating different fighting styles and cultures. I remember I would be happy just witnessing the awesome level of competition before and that was enough. I hope it goes back to that cause whatever this is, its not it. First time I purposely did not watch the fight smh
Don't be a pu$$y all your life😂
You sound dumb af, they lock ppl in a cage who want to kill each other and your over here crying about words.
Its a damned gladiator sport, not a celebration of martial arts you moron.
Im actually a fan of the entertainment era but what the seans and Colby and Dricus have been doing is just weird behavior.
Mike Perry on the other hand is the best of these lot.
He insults his opponents but theres no malice there other than the punches he's tryna be funny.
These othere dudes are just flat crazy😅
0-3 in championship fights since those new belts came along 😂
If I can give one piece of purely unsolicited advice to Chael, a man who has achieved more than I ever will. Slow down dude. People respect your take. You can take a pace, no squeeze necessary. You’re the best on the mic
🙄
He tends to do this on ESPN a lot. You're right. People aren't looking at him to solve some complex riddle as fast as possible. We're looking at him 👀 cus we respect his take.
I know. Dude must be on crack
His voice is just so irritating! Like scratching a chalkboard…I can’t stand listening to him. I don’t know who’s worse, him or Romo!

Hope Colby now realizes he cant fight once in 2020, once in 2021, once in 2022, and once in 2023 and expect to be champ. Hes gotta get back in there early next year. Burns makes a lot of sense.
Burns is fighting JDM Colby HAS TO fight Shavkat
@@wildberry752 either Colby fights early next year and commits to it or he should retire. His fighting once a year thing doesnt work anymore.
@@djt8870 I agree he has to fight early next year but the Gilbert fight isn't a option he is booked for 299 against JDM. Colby is probably gonna choose Wonderboy because that would be the "easiest" fight.
He is not the same after getting his jaw broke. He just wont commitment in the pocket
no
And Chael’s record continues. The GOAT
at terrible calls 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone knows he's gonna pick the loser for draft kings and prize picks sponsor him. His entire TH-cam channel is built on the premise that he can get people to make shady bets/purchases 😂
No, he always picks the white “nationalist” guy, cause game recognize game!
If anyone is is listening to Chael for betting advise they need help lol
Colby was under immense pressure. Surprisingly, Edward was calm and calculated. I expected Leon Edward to fight with emotions.
He brought all that pressure on himself. Leon too was under pressure.
Edwards is just better. He’s naturally more technical and is an underrated wrestler.
People act like the fight ended at the press conference especially lame brain american colby fans. Rocky had 2 days to refocus back to the plan. Not hard to do if you a pro
@@5luelight726 And he's bigger/stronger. Looked huge in there compared to Colby. The only chance Colby had was to set a high pace but he wasn't willing to go through the fire of Edwards striking to make it a dirty fight.
No one asked him to open his big mouth and set up those expectations.
Colby's last 3 wins are against guys who are currently retired. Having him in a title eliminator or letting him hold the division up any further after a performance like that at 35 (36 by his next fight) is laughable
Stop scratching your heads people, Colby was NEVER that great. He grinded out some decision victories against a couple of known guys, the rest of the victories were cans, and lost to everyone else. Got a sweetheart matchup for his interim. And somehow everyone thinks he's god-tier.
I love how anik is fair 😮💨and honest true professional
Dominick is quick to get snippy with people lol
little man syndrome
Most fighters are😂
He always has “chip on his shoulder “
Thinks everything that's said is a direct shot at him and his opinion.
And Chael isn’t?! Ask Ariel Hawani about that?! Or maybe you’re just a casual?!

Colby is a loud mouth disrespectful guy. Glad his time is up
I love the fact that chael TO THIS DAY still calls belal “blehal”
Let the man fight down and get a few wins under his belt. He needs to stay active and work that ringrust out.
Why not give Belal a shot at the title? Colby haven't fought in how long(2yrs)…and comes back with a title shot. Belal has been here grinding and can only get "Friendly Mentions"...
It's called the fight business, not sport competition.
@@zoheir1162 still there's no way that the ufc can deny him he literally did everything they told him to do
Love Jon Anik saying it has it is and cutting through the BS 👏🏽
Im glad Dominick said "when did we start getting choices " because Chael was stuck on fan boy mode for a second 😂😂
that response made no sense bro
He completely misunderstood what Chael said. That’s why Chael corrected him and he changed his response… Chael was heavily critical of Colby tonight at the analyst table. Farthest thing from a fanboy.
Chael didn't side with Colby on this one. And he has never not sided with Colby.
If you think chael was being a fanboy you obviously have no idea what your talking about
He could have fooled us, he was fan boy and had to switch up quick. White guys seem to think they get to always go to the front of the line!
It's tough envisioning a scenario where Colby is incentivized to fight a prospect like Rakhmonov knowing how much of a risk it is when his title opportunities are likely over.
It’s a BIG risk, but it probably puts Colby quite close to yet another chance if he beats Shavkhat. I don’t like Colby at all I think he’s a waste of oxygen but if I were in his shoes, and if he’s truly about it, that’s the road he needs to take. He would silence a lot of people if he beat Shavkhat.
@@lukeparry9810he has no interest in a fight with Shavkat.
Colby is a coward and will never fight contenders in his division.. pretty sure he will be asking for a Dustin or Gatche fight next..
Ol' uncle Chael is the best thing that has happened to the after show. Spits facts and dont hold back.
Colby can still fight, just not the top guys anymore. No shame in that. Plenty of guys making a living in the ufc that are not fighting for a championship. It's up to him if that is good enough for him or if he wants to retire. Its his business.
Dom Cruz, Chael Sonnen, and Jon Anim; couldn’t ask for a better group. They should have these three doing commentary tbh
Belal vs. Leon should be next, I know people dont like Belal but he is due for a title fight. Then Colby vs. Shavkat, time to feed Colby to the rising stars if he still up for the challenge that he deserve a high rank.
Couldn't agree more but what if colby denied the fight ?
colby vs dustin is the fight to make they’re both in the same situation they wanna fight top ranked opponent but simply just aren’t that good anymore🤷🏾♂️
No more title shots for Colby I’m sick of him getting unlimited title shots
I love Uncle Chael's glasses. They fit his persona perfectly.
Colby and tony are done....and the fans are done with him too. One can't talk that amount of bad trash talking and then perform as slow and old as he did. (maybe create a "dumbest clown belt and have Colby and Tony fight for it)
what do Warlley Alves, Leon Edwards and Usman have in common? They all beat Colby, and who the Fck is Warlley Alves?
Anik trying to send Colby to the executioner Shavkat
Like father like son. Sonnen lost 3 title fights, Colby lost 3 title fights. Neither of them deserve their rematches and use their mouths to skip the rankings
We all knew colby didn't deserve this, he does NOT have a successful track record against top competition in the past 4 to 5 years, it's just the reality.. plus a two year LOA is not easy to over come for a fighter, it just was what it was
1:35 Chael is such a toolbox… Usman beat Masvidal TWICE before Colby fought Masvidal. Usman was the BMF that Colby never beat. Colby is a top 5 fighter. A solid fighter. He will never be a champion though.
Colby’s career exactly mirrors chaels unironically and I wouldn’t be surprised if he only fights 2 more times and calls it a day. Khamzat Dustin Sean and Belal are the only fights that make sense for him stylistically speaking and even tension wise however we all know he probably won’t fight any of them(maybe Belal if he’s denied a title shot)
Don’t understand the criticism of Leon from Joe or anyone after that at all. Has now dominated the number 1 and 2 best wrestlers in the hardest div in the hardest promotion. Kept emotions cool despite everything, which shows he’s a true champ
That was the most mid title fight 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Mid? That was low. First 2 rounds was nothing at all.
It was poor. And sad. Looked like Colby didn't want to be there and Leon didn't want to risk anything.
Such a dogshit fight between 2 mediocre fighters, WW needs some talent injection, Shavkat is that it seems
i dont blame you for forgetting about the rose fight
What a terrible suggestion for UFC 300, i'm not sure that u want 300 to forever be remembered for The Snoozer. Leon went back to his roots, putting people to sleep 😴 A reminder of why he was The Belal before Belal. If u put the two together at 300, it's "absolutely positively" going to be a snoozer. Let UK have it, they'll cheer nomatter what, as long as it's a Brit in there.
I was such a fan of Dom as a fighter, one of the best ever to do it. As a pundit he has some, erm, interesting takes.
Agreed
Colby needs to go to 155. Leon was way too big for him. Probably close to 200lbs in the fight. Colby was maybe 175lbs. Honestly wasn't even a fair fight and thats Colbys fault. Gotta cut that weight.
Usman was much bigger than him to colbys problem is he just loves sitting out all the time
@@hms9891 Usman whooped him too, so idk what your point is.

Never gonna buy a PPV where colby is the main event again. He just talks the talk, can't walk the walk. ✔
All the talking Tony and Colby done in press conference.... Embarrassing.
Brits won both fights.
Colby has never been dominated! Hold the Phuck Up!! Did Usman not dominate and destroy Colby not once but twice!!!
Rakhmonov is gonna submit him.
No way, Edwards has took down and defended Usman and Colbys wrestling and they’re 2 elite wrestlers. You think Shavkat is the favourite on the ground because he submitted wonderboy? F wonderboy he got outwrestled by houston jones who’s a TH-camr🤣 EDWARDS HAS THE ADVANTAGE ON THE GROUND v Shavkat.
@@GrizzlyAdams101 I was talking about colby vs him not Leon.

colby going down to 155 fighting washed up chandler and dustin😂
Don't worry Colby, Daddy Dana will take care of you as always.
If colby wants another title shot and to stay relevant he should go down to 155. His run at 170 is done.
Chael suggested Rakhmanov and then a minute later told Jon Anik "I love your suggestion of Rakkhmanov." Beautiful.
Red Coats get the win again just like 1812 😂 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nah man this was never USA vs UK a real American would know Colby is a joke
Oh really? How did that war end? It ended with the Brit’s tucking tail back to UK.
You mean the war where Andrew Jackson marched from Florida to DC and steamrolled the British back into the Atlantic Ocean?
Blah-Hall should be next for the title.
I love the entertainment Colby gave us over the years, but it’s been 3 title shots that he just couldn’t win and it was fun while it lasted. Props to Leon for pulling out the win (I’m no hater).
Colby bootlickington 0 wins against current ranked welterweights. Ran from all of the top contenders.... shavkat, Gilbert, Belal the racist, khamzat (when he was there) and he couldn't even finish a washed up masvidal. Calls 911 like a woman does. And as boring as Belal, guess what? He has more finishes than colby bootlickington, AND amazingly has a few ranked wins lmfao 🤣
Colby is the most overrated fighter in the welterweight class and this is why
Easiest fight in the division. Absolutely pathetic performance. Almost as pathetic as his fangirls acted before the fight
@@440-fishermandrock8 I’m not sure Usman who was once champ would call Colby overrated. He simply couldn’t get it done. For what I understand, he lost 3 rounds to 2. That’s just not gonna cut it to win a championship belt.
@@Fatdecember What 2 rounds did he win? Even that last round i believe leon could get up if he didn't already know it was over
@@halbronco7690 I heard the commentary for this fight. It sounded like he lost the first 3 rounds for sure and won the last two. Did the scorecard for the last two rounds say different? Anyone know?
He just says what he says on his TH-cam. Undisputed, undefeated.
The only way Edwards v Belal happens is if it's on the same card as Aspinal in the UK or something. It's not a big enough fight to headline, the UFC knows the numbers will be awful.
What about Abu Dhabi ? As a guy who lives in the UAE i can tell you that they love belal , not to mention that leon wanted to fight in abu dhabi
U just hope the whole Colby delusion fades away now because he had people really thinking he is this really dominant guy who could ragdoll even MWs, i’ve seen people say that Colby would run through Strickland, Izzy, Poatan, and all the MWs
Colby barely fights. That he got this tittle shot was puzzling.
Feed Colby to Shavkat next
Colby could lose weight SUPER easy he walks around at the weight he weighs in at he could skip breakfast and be a lightweight
Charles and Islam will walk through him and submit him.
He IS a lightweight already. Always has been . And he is more has been now, than ever before. Good riddance.
Retire please, if Colby wants the drama just be an actor. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Maybe Colby can be a backup fighter and earn another title shot somewhere.
Maybe in PFL
He's better off just becoming an octagon boy and carrying the ring cards between rounds
