Why Dana is pushing Colby


Recommended Posts

Meh, it's pretty irrelevant who Conor fights - it's him who moves the needle, not his opponent.  5 out of the top 6 UFC PPVs of all time were headlined by Conor (the other one was UFC 100).

Colby's biggest PPV was for the second fight against Usman; 750k buys. The "highly anticipated grudge match" with Masvidal did less than half a million.

Short of Brock coming out of retirement and fighting Conor at open-weight, they're not getting close to the record of Conor v Khabib any time soon.  I think Dana is pushing Colby because he's the least bad option right now (at least in his mind), and he's got to fight somebody.

Colby sent Jon Anik a death threat because he said Belal is the better option for the next title shot. So yeah, I dont know why Dana would back Dumby Dumbington.

I love how everybody in the sport says "Colby Covington is so fake! He's doing a character!", And then when he is very obviously in character, telling an announcer that he wouldn't want his kids to grow up without a father.. people lose their ****. lol

Honestly, this sport is full of total morons.

Would you like me to post a dozen other Canor comments where he threatens to kill people? The UFC rewards the behavior so people will continue to say stupid ****.

Respectfully disagree.

Yes Conor will be the making the numbers BUT depending on who he fights it will only add up especially for casuals point of view (because casuals will be caught and sold on the trash talk).

Conor vs Colby is definitely Dana’s dream “trash talk promotion” and I’m sure he plans on bank on it.

Conor just fought a bunch of people in a row who can barely stand in front of an audience and put together a sentence.

Because Belal is a bum.  Khumstain can't make weight.  No one cares about Gilbert Burns and he gets dropped by jabs anyway.  No telling what Jorge's left hook will do.

Leon is such a cheater that even his hairline is cheating on him.  The bald patch is a major distraction.  He kicked Marty dead in the root chakra 5 times.  Marty's been a cheater his whole career though so I guess it's karma. 

Leon and Colby will absolutely suck.  Leon has figured out the ultimate form of TDD.  He would fish hook Juiceman's glove.  This not only makes it where he can't clasp his hands together for a takedown.  It makes the non fish hooked arm weaker.  Leon then lowers his level against the cage and bridges out to the weakside.

Anyway I could see it.  I don't know why they didn't run with Conor and Jorge both on losing streaks when Conor and Chandler don't want to cut the weight.  Both on the far backend of their careers.  Jorge is an orthodox striker and now that Conor's juiced to the max the weight would be a wash.  Colby would just throw Conor around all over the damn cage until time expired or he quit from exhaustion.

lol Khumstain would straight kill the ginger bastard.  Conor beats absolutely no one that I just mentioned.  He might could get lucky and clip Burns trying to stand and bang.  Even Dan Hooker managed to do that in 2 minutes flat.

Oh yeah and he might beat Chandler because he's a short, stocky and sloppy bum.

McGregor vs Chandler is desperate joke to get Conor in the win column.  Like they were looking for a bigger but slower, less technical Mendes who has terrible fight IQ.  Mike can't box, he doesn't wrestle heavy, short, orthodox that throws wide and gets smacked in every UFC fight. 

If Conor gets his oil checked, beat up and gasses in this one it's time to go back to tweet and delete death threats.  Tweet and delete post fight about how he's developed the perfect system to beat the Dagestani style of wrestling.  Tweet and delete about challenging for the middleweight championship.  Tell everyone who will listen that Jon Jones couldn't eat da left.  Post videos of himself getting Georgia Dome on his yacht.  Settle more lawsuits out of court for threatening to drown the guests on his yacht.  Ya know just go back to business as usual.

Gilbert Burns would prison rape Conor.

Never know if Gilbert stands and trades.  He's a repeat offender on the list of dropped by jabs.  Without even looking it up I know that Khamzat and Marty both dropped him with jabs.  Something is lacking when a jab sits you down on multiple occasions and Dan Hooker straight dog walks you.

Gilbert has been fighting fairly smart lately. That's how he got to the top of that division.

If he shoots for a takedown on Conor, and doesn't settle for anything less, he beats Conor in the first time 100/100 times by submission.

That was at 155, btw. You go on and on about Dan Hooker getting lucky against a BJJ kid without much boxing. lol.. Dan Hooker would get his **** pushed back every single time now.

Let's try to talk about relevant stuff. This is like when you and Joe Rogan pretend Jorge Masvidal doesn't absolutely suck in 2023.

I don't really care.  He's a bloated banger one minute against the ghost of Maia.  A crotch sniffer for 5 rounds against the ghost of Woodley.  Dropped by jabs against Marty the next.  Back to crotch sniffing Wonderman for 3 rounds.  Back to banging and getting dropped by jabs against that neanderthal Khamzat the next. 

Neil Magny... lol.  Fairly is the key word that comes before smart.  If he's a man of his word and doesn't jock sniff Jorge it's gonna be a ****ed up night for him.  It still might be his wrestling is nowhere near Marty or Colby's level.  -450 favorite is cute.

Look at my Original post

The cross over between WWE/UFC - UFC/WWE is huge

 

Colby beats Leon, beats Connor, walks straight into a bout against Cody Rhodes

Thats the reason he lost last weekend 

 

I’ve never been wrong on this Foro

 

Thank me later
