This was the turning point for Colby’s career. UFC was going to cut him because he was “boring.” Had to play the bad guy after this fight and now he’s gotten to where he is.
Man Colby's striking left a lot to be desired back then. Cesar Carneiro really tightened him up, he actually had decent power behind his shots against Usman in the last fight.
Usman and Colby seem to be in a race for whose pillow fists are turning into lead first. However, seems Usman is on the special sauce, he's winning the race.
@@TheStraightestWhitest just by that comment alone I can tell you didn't watch the first fight, maybe the highlight reel. Usman didn't walk through Covington
I think that was a bullshit narrative Colby tried to start , Dana said he didn't plan on cutting Colby at all he was on a four or five fight win streak , Colby probably just wasn't getting the money he wanted in his next contract so he made up that narrative and created this persona to try to make that Conner money
Please do your own research instead just believe what others said. He wasn't getting cut. This is his last fight in contract. He ask for raise paycheck but ufc called him boring. And after this fight he's talking a lot shyt. Remember in this game. Mouth and personality makes more money.
The ufc really needs to add that weight class but I guess I can see their side of it , they don't want the ufc to get watered down with too many weight classes like boxing
Colby is going to struggle methinks. Not a hater, but all the factors. Kamaru has gotten better over 2 other fight, and has kept evolving with the same team and bringing in higher level training partners. Colby has been inactive, changed teams, is around lesser competition in the gym, and is currently at the point that a loss will send him pretty far down the ranks as a contender. Pressure is on and Usmans striking has gotten sharp.
@@floatinggoose9197 yeah. But how do we know colby hasn’t improved. He’s switched camps. Maybe that’s a good thing. Stop assuming he’s just on his couch eating ice cream all day He’s been in camps for masvidal but masvidal pulled out. He’s getting better like he always does. AND INACTIVITY DOESNT AFFECT EVERYONE. Didn’t affect him before the lawler fight and won’t affect him this time. And stop overrating usman’s improvements. He’s got more confident with his hands that’s pretty much it. Usman was always a beast
@@Aaaaa-kp7nj exactly, imagine thinking colby would be lazy he eats clean year round. Is the hardest worker in the gym man doesn’t stop training. AND NEW
@@terranloudenback2102 He faced Jorge Masvidal, and thats it. i dont get it why beating Jorge Masvidal would be a milestone, would be an "improvement". if Usman wasnt scared the first fight with Masvidal and stood with him, he wouldve still knock Jorge out.
Colby haters will never learn, it's actually fun that they are getting pissed off by him and they are paying to see him lose which Colby literally wants. They think it's all real lmao. Maybe the Dustin one is real, look how Dustin ducks him.
He had to get armed security to get him to the airport. They definitely would have tried to kill him. Same thing happened to Chael. These guys got balls for sure
Colby didnt want anything to do with maia on the ground or even in the clinch, he underestimated maia's striking in round 1 for sure. But that is a huge age gap. People like to think of this as a one sided smashing but really colby had to have his head pulled out of his ass after rd1. A smashing isnt usually a 29-28
@@shotgundiplomat2406 Yeah,,, it just sucks that even if he knows he's being successful on the feet, he forces a lot of takedowns that makes him tired in the later rounds.
Usman is just naturally the most powerful welterweight, he is a physical nightmare to deal with, he walks down guys who donot get walked down. A nigerian khabib in many ways. This is why ppl are hyped up for khamzat chimaev even tho he hasn't proved himself yet, bcuz he is also naturally very powerful
@@yeshuasage3724 yeah. The way usman ate colbys punches last fight and just came.right back at him with more punishing blows makes me think colby must either ko usman or wrestle him. Neither option seems plausible.

@@eetfuk3571 Usman is they biggest by weight he walks around 215lbs Maia walks around 200lbs. For reference Woodely was 205lbs and was dwarfed by Usman.
Because he was scared of what the crowd would do to him. Brazilian crowds have literally beheaded people over football matches. just imagine the fight crowd.
Here after the Usman rematch. He’s obviously improved, but it would’ve been nice if he had been able to fight several times and level up like Usman had.
Fake bad guy Colby shaking hands with Maia. Such a nice guy forced to make an ass of himself to keep his job. I'm glad he made the change, he's doing good for himself just sad to see people hate on him for promoting his fights and name. "Its only business"
"We ain't translating tonight" was his life insurance policy that night.
Colby made sure to push the translator away and ensure his freedom and his life
