Colby: cuts 18lbs in 48hrs, quotes Wayne, calls people dog-faced mfs 😂. Company guy. 💯
And about to lose his 3rd shot at the title 💯
@@tenzinwangjor5079 nah 50/50 against Leon
@@superdu28he beats Leon strictly cus cardio
Leon's striking is better than Colby. He'll set traps for an overly aggressive Colby. Great fight, but "Headshot dead!"
@@tenzinwangjor5079hahaha he won the 2nd fight. He was the 1st guy to take Usman down ! He DID take him down ! Twice !!! Even an Olympic medalist in wrestling in DC said so. You score those two that was definitely a split for Colby. Leon will get taken down with ease by Colby .
Colby quoted... Lil Wayne.... I laughed so harrrd lololol
Yea it was corny asf
Miniature Chael Sonnen is making some valid points here.
Miniature Chael Sonnen hasn’t beaten anyone in their prime and on a win streak. He’s been gifted all these title shots from his big mouth and him beating up old men on losing streaks…
@@A1Gz_ cope
@@A1Gz_ lmfao “Get em!” In my Silas voice
What valid points? That he’s the best 170 pounder the divisions ever seen?
@@A1Gz_ I mean he beat woodley who granted wasn’t in his prime but still a big win and RDA in Brazil who was on a heater. You mad bruh
He's 188 and Dustin walks around 195 and people were critical of him calling out Dustin
Colbys 188 cause he stays in shape. U fool. Dustin doesn’t. Dustin is a 5’8 155 striker. Look at how small Dustin looks near jorge. Anyway, colby was quick to want a fight with Dustin but was quiet when belal and khamzat and burns wanted smoke
Colby honestly just need to go down to 155 where he'll actually have a chance
@@WhitePeopleAreAnnoying He wasn't quiet... The guy wants to fight for championship belts he is much smarter then these clowns and that's why he is fighting Leon next... Levels to this game u need to figure out kid lol
@@WhitePeopleAreAnnoying Ok , so Colby stays in shape but who's asking Dustin to get out of shape ? Me ? You ? Colby ? Jorge? No you dummy , it's coz he's stupid just like you .
Dustin isn't hurting anyone but himself by staying in 155 when he can have way easy weight cut like Colby but no he wants to be a weight bully.
And 5-8 , what's that gotta do with anything,how tall was DC when he was fighting heavyweights? Or canonier?
Dustin short in front of Jorge not small you half wit
Colby is about to 50-45 Leon Edwards
We need that Colby vs Khamzat!
he cant even make weight and rob would kill him
Colby is afraid of that man
Khamzat is not going to be able to deal with Colbys pace after completely draining himself to make weight
Khamzat is jus gonna kill em 🥱
CHimaev won't stop beating this chicken even after the time is up!
Love him or hate him. He's entertaining.😂🤣🤣
He was. Everything he says is getting lame.
Maybe on the mic. In the cage, he does no damage and is about as boring as it gets
No one hates him bro
@@rageorge8721The no-ones being Colby fans. No wonder their labeled "no-one". Except for professional kind and genuine fighters like Wonder Thompson that don't like Colby. As well as Dustin Poirer.
It's no coincidence guys, It's no coincidence.
Real G’s move in silence. Colby is the furthest thing from silent.
True, but in fairness we haven’t heard from him in a while
It was comedy. Gotta love Colby's witty lines.
😂
Do you even pay attention? Obviously not the quote was in reference to him showing up to London so secretly no one knew he was there until he stepped on the scale. After your comment you probably should move in silence too 😂
@@jarnold1789 Cos he was avoiding the entire division. The amount of call outs he was getting and him being silent but all of a sudden he’s weighing in for a title fight?! Guys a coward and the UFC are glazing this coward. Literally nothing we can do except deal with it
that confidence, with losing twice vs the guy that lost the main event today
Yeah it's all shtick mate, just says stuff for the soundbites. He's actually a smart bloke tbf to him and knows how to market himself well.
That’s a crazy name you got there
"Guy misses weight by 9 pounds and he's laughing like it's a f***ing joke. HE'S a f***ing joke."
*Truest words spoken this week*
Broooo we missed the people's champ badly
Thanks god he's finally back
The incels champ more like
Lmfao mans quotes lil Wayne 😂😂😂😂😂
this is a contradiction to when Dana said he "hadn't known until it happened" or whatever he was trying to sway the media into believing. He put colby as the back up because it makes the most sense from a business stand point to potentially give colby a shot at the title.
How does that make sense he’s been ducking everyone??
@@gerry3859 he was waiting until the masvidal case is over, staying silent is a good thing (legally)
@@gerry3859 he’s the biggest draw in the ufc currently, the dude is insane on the mic and the most entertaining thing since mcgregor…. The Colby era is coming, in due time….
@@thealmightyvenom2870 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thealmightyvenom2870 Lol where? he is not. He is just very annoying he’s only entertaining to little kids that like first grade insults😂😂
UFC privilege. Talk about skipping the line.
Skipping who? Lol
1:29 Ayyeeeeew he said the thing, funny enough that’s my senior quote as well
He no longer has to focus on 185 Khamzat, uncle Dana has announced Colby vs Leon next.
Dana likes when People are the backups, good for him
In other words he's a coward!
Khamzat killing himself to make 170 might actually play into Colby's favor. Colby is a great wrestler and has unmatched endurance. If Khamzat can't get him out by the 2nd round Colby I believe could take over on endurance alone.
Khamzat has wrestled longer than Colby lol
Who’s Colby beaten to back this up. Anyone in the top 3? Anyone who is on win streak and isn’t 40? Just one name
@@A1Gz_ who has khazmat beat ? Holland = no wrestling he didn't beat burns. I watched numerous times he was gifted to keep hype
@@supersillylily2474 Colby has wreslter from the age of 8 lmao
@@briank8519 He beat burns. That alone is better than any of Colby's wins.
yall gettin a thumbs down for the bleeps
Can't blame this kid for wanting a title shot and making noise. Every fighter should learn.
Yeah but khamzat jail fucks him
Colby having listened to 6 foot 7 foot makes him ever cooler
Leon and Kamaru must have been shocked. Colby had time to prepare for them but they had no time to prepare for Colby. Dana's a stone cold killer when it comes to business.
I was just thinking the same thing. It doesn’t seem fair. After the way they performed, I think he had a good shot at beating either one.
It was very shady in my opinion, both Leon and Kamaru should've known the second that Dana White knew.
but colby doesn't know who he's fighting either, leon and kamaru are both very stylistically different fighters,
Colby the real main event
Fr. Only the real ones see it.
Colby was called out by three top fighters and Colby went silent. Lol
Dana just said colby is next so why bother fighting them when you can just fight Leon and make more money while doing it.
@@foaley77 it’s a business and not a sport, I get it.
@Shannon Foale he made a buisness decision i get it but the pushback for ducking fighters is apart of the buisness
Dana litteraly just told everyone Colbys been on the phone bugging him to fight you melt. You genZ kids just go about talking garbage it's embarrassing
people still whine about Colby, amazing 😂😂😂
Colby got his Rolex fixed.
“Back up fighter”
“I might be with a mamacita on South Beach” 😂
Colby without doubt the most entertaining fighter on the UFC roster... man's the the zone
Most entertaining duck 🦆
Colby 🇺🇸 the goat
@@TheRealBobMarley colby ducking machine
Entertaining how?
Khamzat jail fucks him
Colby very excited he doesn’t have to fight Khamzat anymore 😂🎉
Kumshot got slapped like a bi*ch by Gilbert🤣 he won't do nothing to Colby
yup
Khazmat can’t beat a weight cut. 😂
Colby: "I'd rather to fight both these guys in the main event at the same time" 😂😂😂😂👌Love Colby
funny cause Leon would say "who is that guy" when people talk about Leon lol now he knows who he is
Gotta love colby
I can't help but chuckle and smirk at this fella. "It's all a show ladies and gentleman." Nothing more.....Nothing less. :o)
Just like the NFL,NBA,NCAA all of them. It's all a show. Whatever makes people spend money, they will do.
Love this guy🎉 Edwards vs Colby let’s goooo
Colby is hilarious . He knows what will happen if Khamzat fights him lmao Colby is very smart tho I give him that. But let’s be serious . Khamzat will Destroy him period
Unless his cardio improves significantly, I give Colby an edge if it’s 5rds. If it’s 3 Chimaev.
@@multi-task5909 exactly Khamzat has no gas tank lol
Colby would expose cum shot. Stop it
Khamshot fighting in October in middleweight as per Dana. Cope!
Cumshot struggled against Dilbert. Colby will be fine.
Shout out weezy 😂
“Someone could of slipped on a banana peel” talking about 2 black guys this guys a full on troll 😂
Lol i love him so much😂
CHAOS!!!
Haha let’s go Colby. Love his press conferences.
I sense tons of nerves from Colby. More self conscious than ever. I hope he bounces back, but at the same time, this is the bed he made
He’s the future world champion, obvious troll comment but stfu. Dana knows how to make money and Colby is the best thing since mcgregor.
@@thealmightyvenom2870 Yeah he tries to be Mcgregor and Idolizes Sonnen. And fails miserably at both.
Colby always entertaining
The lil Wayne line was hilarious
Let this sink in. The last time Colby fought someone in their prime not named Usman was in 2018 against RDA.He doesn’t deserve a title shot.
I wear my sunglasses at night😂
Colby, the true running man. Won’t fight Chimaev or any new contenders. He better not get a title shot until he beats 2 or 3 of them and truly deserves it.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
I think I kinda understand him too
I mean yeah it's kinda annoying that he trashes Khamzat but doesn't fight him but he maybe has the choice between fighting a guy that is ranked worse than him and fighting for the title
I would also want the title fight
He's been given one
@@MRios1128 what u gonna do about it🤣
Take a fight with another contender and cut back back on the sound bites.
Totally agree. If you can talk the talk then fight Chimaev.
@@ericjones363 chimaev can’t even make 170 ever again from eating too much 5 guys burgers 😂
@ash ash he will make weight if Colby accepts the fight.
Lol “couldn’t make weight” he didn’t want to
5:15 “I got my mouthcup ready” lol
Colby is right. Khamzat is unprofessional. He says something about everyone. He was even saying he was going to fight with Jon Jones.
Khamzat has attitude issues. And he has no one advising him. Gilbert is right whe he says there are clowns around him.
I used to root for him until he talks badly about everyone and fights in public arenas.
This is how i talk when i dont sleep for three days
Great to see Colby Covington back, always entertaining 👏👏👏👏
Respect to Chaos!
Lmao shoutout wheezy
I lost all respect for Masvidal when he sucker punched Colby outside that restaurant. He couldn't beat him in the Octagon so he snuck up on him and got a cheap shot
I lost it the second he assaulted our boy Rocky when they were meant to be talking. He could've faced criminal charges for that honestly, Leon Edwards *DESERVES* to fight Jorge next if that's what he wishes in my opinion... get that one out of the way, then focus on the top contenders.
With Colby quoting Wayne... He can come to the cookout.
Sometimes you hear him struggle with his character.
Colby is as entertaining as can get we can criticise him for ducking fights but how many other fighters do that in different divisions. He's smart and that's how he is able to earn these kinda title shots. Plus he will give the most hype in the division now that Khamzat will probably be fighting in Middleweight.
Feel like tonight colby would have beat usman pretty easy
2 of his last 3 fights were title fights and he lost them both. He doesn't want to fight anyone he isn't confident he will win against unless it's a title fight. Go fight one of those killers like Khamzat or go back into hiding. He's the real king of cringe!
How both of those fights went does factor in. He lost the first fight due to illegal head strikes and the second was at least a draw.
@@everyoneisonsteroids2720 yeah Colby clearly won 3 rounds in the 2nd Usman fight and he was up on the score cards in the first fight before being finished in the 5th. Colby has won more rounds against Usman in 2 fights than Leon has in 3 fights... think about that for a second
You must be a virgin nerd.
Dana already said its Leon and Colby next.
Belal gonna real pissed that Colby getting the next shot! hahaha he gonna be crying like a baby again like when he got eye poked by Leon.
I sense a belal tweet coming
youre laughing at a man getting injured in a fight while streaming video games on your channel. Cant make this up
@@sparrowactually3514 he might be a bi*ch but at the same time he ain't lying either🤷🏻♂️
@@samuelgomez9799 haha you know it
Did he say lost 18 pound in 2 days how do you do that
I don't ever wanna hear his name ever again aka I'm scared please don't kill me 😭
real G’s move in silence like lasagna
Colby got his script for this weekend deam
I thought Colby didn’t cut much weight lol. He should get another W before a title shot.
I love Colby, but come on now, 18lbs in 1 day??
He said he got a call 3 weeks ago, dude is cappin on cutting 18lbs in one day.
Colby quoting weezy 😂💯
Colby just say ur scared of khamzat as you sounded when asked to fight him.
Very good points actually
No reason to hear you speak bro.
Ducking top contenders but still gets title shots gifted
The man said it all
He’s right bout khamzat who wants to fight a guy that can’t even make weight for his first main event
Dana awarded him for not fighting Khamzat 🤣🤣🤣 Colby shouldn't be anywhere near title shot.
I love to see Colby fight and not waste his prime.
Him vs Leon scissor hands
Him vs Burns
Hims vs Izzy
Colby vs Izzy ? 🤣🤣🤣 Izzy knocks him out cold...he got dropped in his last 3 fights by Usman and by a former lightweight
Silent like lasagne😂 what a whopper
😂 Colby Already Selling The Fight! 👍
That is the correct jacket.
You can tell that he rehearsed that line about Lil Wayne. It was so stupid ! 😂
Colby needs to come through the Nate' gate for his shot at the title
Colby getting a 4th title shot shows you how weak the division is outside of Usman and Edwards. Loss, win, loss, win? And a win against trash Masvidal puts him back in it? It's weak.
Welcome back!
All the people in the comments throwing insults and describing how much they dislike Colby… you are exactly the reason he acts this way. He’s playing the heel, and it’s been working greatly for his career. Very similar to Connor. Sometimes being hated sells more tickets than being loved. Hate the gimmick if you want just keep in mind he’s really just another normal dude. Something I too had to come to terms with regarding my hatred for John Cena.
dude they are all to dumm to understand that....
So Colby leveraged himself to title fight by settling the lawsuit he filed against Masvidal. He must have taken a big cash compensation from Jorge and Dana must have promised him a title fight if he settles the lawsuit and moves on.
I can say this because of multiple reasons
1. Both Colby and Masvidal are taking up fights, that means the lawsuit is over.
2. Had Masvidal been proven guilty , his career was over and would've been jailed. Instead he's fighting Gilbert Burns.
3. Colby on the other hand wouldn't have taken any fight till the lawsuit is in progress because he was claiming that sucker-punch by Masvidal caused him brain damage and he can no longer fight because of Concussion. But instead he's made weight as back up and is now next in line.
4. Dana White made him the backup fighter so that he can justify to media and mma fans the reason to give him title shot. Just like Volkanoski was backup for Oliviera vs Islam.
Shoutout Weezy! 😂
1:28 lmfao
We like to quote the real poet lil Wayne 😂😂
Ultimate professional 😅
Colby greatest showman and best welter right now
You're out of your mind calling him the best welterweight right now mate 😂
Ofc he doesn’t want any part of khamzat.
@bLaCk lol
@@blackmagic12121😂
@OnlyMal9 his fans even know what would happen
@bLaCk ofc if he wants to stay alive he better stay away from him.
@bLaCk it’s all drama to let Tony fight Nate.. funny you people still don’t get it.. 170 is not a problem for khamzat
Someone can slip on a banana peel 😅😂
Colby is right though. Reporters need to pay fighters for their interviews
How many COPs were needed to get Colby to the arena, the weigh-in and then again back to his hotel? (No he didn't have a security guard stand outside of his door, right? That is just a rumor?)
What are you talking about ? Have you ever seen this professional fighter in a street fight with bums swinging knives to them. They're proper beast, try and you will find out you plonker!
He don't wanna fight khamzat 😏
I think he does khazmat struggled hard vs burns. Coby has elite takedown defence and wrestling plus a gas ⛽️ tank. Khazmat has no chance this isn't Holland
Danas litteraly just told everyone Colby was on the phone constantly asking for Crash mat fight 😂 do you even watch UFC? Embarrassing comment
@@bigduphusaj162 Dana lies.
@@briank8519 Colby would struggle against burns too.
Anyone would be stupid to want to fight that bloke, he's a frightening individual due to his continuous pressure and very, very strong wrestling (both technique and physically). There's good reason that people tend to keep his name out of their mouths in my opinion from what we've seen so far from him.
He's getting his belt back beating up Leon Edwards. I like Leon but he's nowhere near Colby's level. He's with the best coaches, Daniel Valverde and Cesar Carneiro.
I don’t wanna hear anything from a man who acts, tough and hard and threatens people and talks about their family, but then and their children, but then presses charges
Thought it wasn't secret?
The ufc wants him to be champ so bad he doesn’t deserve it this sport sucks
Colby is literally a worse version of Usman, jealous of Edwards success. Sucks to suck
I luv Colby man
How do you cut 18 pounds in 48hrs
