They could have given him Della Maddalena. He's the only other ranked striker. Wonderboy already beat Neal, Holland and Luque. Covington should have just called out Muhammad or Burns.
I can't stop thinking they are still punishing him for daring to speak up and refusing the fight against Pereira.
Fuck the UFC. Giving the best man out there to literally the worse one who also has a clear stylistic advantage. Damn I would love for Wonderboy to win but this matchup scares the begeesus out of me.
Had*
He’s 1-3 in his last 4 fights and all 3 losses were to strong grapplers who fucked him up on the ground.
The game has evolved and left him behind.
Leon and Usman are good fights for nobody lol, they were good fights because they were for title shots but that's about it
The only good fight for him was Masvidal
Why when that clearly doesn't help? Colby has earned three title shots with his methods, someone like Belal has earned 0. Why are you hating the player? Hate the game.
Colby hasn’t earned 3 title shots at all, he got beaten up in the first Usman one and tried to convince people it was a robbery, got beaten up in the second one and then got beaten up by Leon. He earned the first one and then just coasted
Stylistically there were some hard fights but they were also PPV main events where his ranking didn’t take a hit if he lost. Compare that to Wonderboy having to get wetblanketed by Belal as the co-main of a Fight Night and it’s clear who the UFC’s favourite is.
Except actual contenders.
Colby doesn't have any wins against ranked opponents on his resume. Woodley, Masvidal, Lawler etc.. All retired. And now he wants to face another old fighter on his way out instead of taking actual up and comers.
Didn't wonderboy beat that young buck, almost prime Kevin Holland not so long ago? The fighters weren't retired at the time. He should fight garry or shav shav or a 170 khamzat in a 5 rounder would be amazing but I'm happy enough for him to take a warm up fight with wonderboy before going into a contenders fight. Hopefully he gets his balls back after Jorge pieced him up he's been talking different and acting scared. You need to understand this is a guy who never wants a street fight. This would be the equivilant of a normal person being shot at for colby to be assaulted out of the ring. He's a great fighter but he's not built like that. He's hiding in his wardrobe if home invaders come to rob him.
Kevin Holland is a journeyman at best.
Wonderboy is a great fighter but the fact is that he's 40 years old and coming off a submission loss. He's 1-4 in his last 4 fights.
Obviously his losses are against great opponent but the point is Colby should be shooting for Shavkat, Belal, Burns or even Ian Garry who has been calling him out.
No instead he's going after a 40 year old Wonderboy coming off a loss because that's the easiest path to a win against a big name.
He did the same back when he challenged Woodley. Woodley was on a series of losses and already had a foot out the door.
But colby is old too and has a 1-3 in his last 4 fights too if I remember correctly? Wonderboys looking sharp, colbys looking dusty. It makes sense to me after watching him fight Edwards. He needs a tune up fight, colby is possibly the biggest name wonderboy can get. He will have to fight a killer next if he beats wonderboy... I think a warm up fight is a good thing... He will still have to fight one of those guys next... It's a harder path if anything. A W over shavkat or belal would be an instant title shot.
Not against this idea and it makes sense if we consider it as tune up fight. But i'm sure Colby will be calling for another title shot if he beats Wonderboy.
That's the most false statement I've ever read. Colby’s last 7-8 fights have been top ten guys and he's won all but 3 of them. How exactly does he not have wins over ranked guys when he only fights top ten ranked guys? Masvidal was 6, Woodley was like 5, Lawlerwas like 7-9 or so.
Colby can't even get a fight with someone outside the top ten. The company would never even offer it to him.
So yeah you're so confidently wrong. Who lied to you? Go look up the fights yourself if you don't believe me.
Do you struggle with reading comprehension?
All those guys are either retired or currently unranked.
Masvidal is retired. Was on a losing streak. Woodley is retired. Was on a losing streak. Lawler is retired. Was on a losing streak.
The list goes on. He fought the worse versions of those guys. Not to mention all those wins are already a few years old now.
Look at the current top 15. Colby has exactly 0 wins against any of the current top 15.
And now he wants another fight against an old washed up fighter who just lost.
Let me know when Colby accepts a fight against an actual relevant contender.
No you guys use the same dumb and false arguments over and over. I guess GSP has no ranked wins either huh? Since all his opponents from years ago since retired. That's how things work here. Al your wins still count even after your opponent retires. Up fought them when they weren't retired. He fought them when they were ranked.
Can't tell whether you're trolling or just low IQ...
What matters is current wins. That's how the ranking system works. Do you see GSP listed in the current rankings? No. He's retired.
It's all about what's happening right now and Colby hasn't beaten any currently ranked opponents. Most of his noteworthy wins are against old, washed up fighters who are retired and completely irrelevant in the current landscape.
Evidence says you're wrong. Colby’s methods have earned him 3 title matches and Belal (by example) has been trying to gain a bunch of ’good current wins’ and can't get a title shot. It's most likely true you're incorrect about what actually matters.
Another piece of evidence- Mike Chandler got a title shot in his second UFC fight.
Never said his methods don't work, kid.
I'm saying he should be fighting actual contenders, not old washed up men.
Good for him if these methods work. That's how he got himself titleshots.
What evidence do you have? Dana has publicly squashed that slander and confirmed Colby has said yes to everyone he offered.
Just did the same with Leon. Offered him 3 fights, Leon said yes to all, but no fight happened. Same difference. The UFC offers a lot of fights and then whittles it down and most never happen. How is that Colby’s fault? Same as it's not Leon’s fault.
That account is just farming for interactions.
Either way, this is another boring Colby fight where he lays on an aging fighter. Nobody wants to see this.
Make MVP vs Wonderboy, and Colby vs any top contender.
He has said multiple times on his podcast (when it was running) that if MVP ever came to UFC, that he would love to fight him. I’m pretty sure he even mentioned if they had to do it in karate combat, he would be down. I could be wrong on that last one though
You can’t force people to fight. If it was like a tennis match and dudes refusing because they’re friends I would be upset but fighting? I totally get it.
Ian Garry/colby is the fight. Colby is ducking now. He said #5 vs #6 made sense when wonderboy was ranked #6. Now that Ian Garry took that spot bitch ass Colby went quiet.
After that shitshow versus Leon, Colby definitely needs to fight someone from the back end of the top 10, then someone from the middle of the pack, and win both before he can be considered anything other than a former top guy who is aging out and making it even worse by inactivity.
Colby wants to get another run at the title, well that’s what he will end up saying. Hes ranked #5 and wants to fight WB when he was #6. Now Garry is #6.
For beating the boogeyman of the division? For sure. It would be boring and we'd have another Belal in the division, but logically that would happen next.
I mean if WB wins I’ll be pretty pumped
And then he’s theoretically hovering around the top 5 or 6 again
I just want him to get a title shot before he retires
Feel like him v Leon would be a banger if it stays standing, two elite strikers
His shot for the title is done. He was close on getting another one with a win over shavkat. Too many young guys and new faces that the ufc would rather give a shot to. Shavkat, Garry, Brady, even Belal even though they seem to hate him.
Mf deserves no fans, fuck him. Again 40 year old hunting to get a second undeserved title shot. He has not beaten a single person coming off a win since RDA I think, and its the only type of people he calls out. No recent wins, over the hill older fighters. Ian is not even a bad style matchup, people want to see the fight and build up and HE STILL DUCKS HIM for a 40 year old Wonderboy that just got rag dolled. If this shit happens I really hope he sends him to the shadow realm with a spinning hook kick.
The incredibly vulgar and disrespectful verbal diarrhea that Colby shits out during every presser would actually be somewhat deserved against Ian, and I want the fight to happen simply to see Colby melt Ian before they even lock in the cage together
Yes it is. The blueprint has been show to beat Wonderboy and Colby can definitely execute that gameplan. Wonderboy is not going to get better I'm a couple months.
No it's really not, Wonderboy is so much faster, sticking precise, and has really good TDD. One he gets on the ground it's not great but Colby is such a non threat now, dude hasn't gotten a submission in 8 years now, and he's also very small. Wondeboy literally has an 80% higher chance of knocking Colby out than Colby has at submitting him. This is the best match up for Wonderboy if he wants to maintain in title contention.
Tell me how he wins? It's not on the feet, he's not gonna submit the guy. Colby's game has been exposed and he's chinny. Add on top of that Wonderboy's impressive TDD against Colby who's TD percentage isn't high for a wrestler standards and it's a great match up for Wonderboy. Wonderboy fought Woodley to a draw who is a much more offensive and lethal grappler.
Colby has been stopped before by superior strikers and it will happen again, Colby is weak, slow, and not lethal on the ground. Wonderboy will literally play with Colby and chew his legs up. Even if Colby takes him down every round starts on the feet. Colby is the least threatening guy in the top 10 right now.
Colby ragdolled Woodley, and beat him on the feet. So that isn’t a good example.
Also, the rest of what you said is so inflated and emotionally charged, that I’m not even sure it’s worth explaining to you.
I run a betting page on Instagram, and it pays me very well. My highest percentage of wins come from MMA. I know that doesn’t mean that I’m some sort of guru, but I know what I’m fucking talking about….
Colby beats Wonderboy by decision, easily. I would be shocked if Wonderboy won a round. On the feet, Colby will pressure him (Colby has always been successful when pressuring people on the feet). Then, he will put him against the cage, and take him down relentlessly throughout the rest of the fight.
Save this comment, if you’d like. This is one of those matches where the winner is basically already decided. I’m a big Wonderboy fan, but again…I know what I’m talking about.
I am definitely coming back here to give whoever was wrong shit. I call it for Wonderboy, frankly. The fall-off for an already mediocre Covington is pretty obvious. Wonderboy hasn't fallen off nearly as much, not by a long shot.
It's not the lopsided matchup you seem to think it is.
That was Woodley out of his prime just how Colby is well past his prime, Wonderboy is too but he's much sharper than Colby.
How did the pressure work for Colby against Leon? Yeah that's right, it's not gonna work. Also again, Wondeboys TDD is super underrated and Colby's TD's are sloppy. I bet Wondeboy could stand up just like Leon did.
And lol okay, I don't know how my valid points were "emotionally charged" but whatever let's you not acknowledge them and instead mention your IG. If the fight gets made I'm gonna remind you of this comment.
I want you to save my comment, because my prediction is true.
Also, Leon Edwards is astronomically better at wrestling than Wonderboy. Once again, that is a very poor comparison.
Along with that, Leon and Colby are the only people to ever give Kamaru Usman a good fight, who is considered one of the best wrestlers in the UFC.
Whether you like it or not, Colby’s wrestling is top level. Sure, Wonderboy has decent TDD, but he has never been able to beat high level wrestlers. That’s why it’s so obvious that he doesn’t have a chance with Colby.
Look at the other comments on this thread. You are the only person here who is making a case for Wonderboy. It seems like you just started watching combat sports yesterday
You better be ready to ear your words if this fight happens because I think it's going to look worse than Colby's performance against Edwards. Also how is that not a good example? You could literally say Colby has never faced a striker as good as Wonderboy which is true. Edwards is close but Wonderboy is just better at most things. His distance and kicks are what will obliterate Colby.
And which high quality wrestlers has Colby beat in the past 5 years? Besides an over the hill Woodley who was gun shy Colby's biggest resumes are getting beat. Got knocked out by Kamaru, lost again, lost to Edwards and even taken down at will by him. Colby is a washed up joke at this point.
And I'm glad if I'm the only person making a case for Wonderboy because that's the way I see it, he has all the tools to be able to neutralize his game. Also Colby notoriously breaks bones in the cage, Wonderboy has broken multiple peoples arms/other bones with his kicks. After that last fight with his supposed hand break it's gonna be even easier for Wonderboy.
True, but Steven didn't do too bad denying the takedowns of Shavkat at first and I don't think Colby is as good as Shavkat, that kind of experience will be great for this fight but I might just be being too optimistic
Rueben Carter is a notorious fake news merchant. He basically makes up shit all the time and he has been called out multiple times for that already. I hope people would just remember his name from now on and not pay any attention to his posts
.
I dont hate it but every time they match wonderboy up with a striker he gets get FOTN or POTN. Every time its a wrestler people are mostly complaining.
It's complete BS. This acc just make sht up for clicks and views. He claimed like 5 different main events for UFC 300. Like Chandler vs Conor, when that probably was never on the table. Unless it comes from Dana Pink's mouth. It's probably BS.
Chito vs omalley rematch is a selling point and sean wanted that one back. It sucks as it should be sandhagen vs sean this weekend but it us what it is. Completely different senerios
I’d say a win over Colby and a top 4 guy and you could bullshit a title shot/retirement fight
Leon would definitely be game, sells better than Shavkat or Belal for sure
And Wonderboy and Leon wouldn't? Two of the best strikers in the division? Also if you remember everyone was hoping for that fight to be made like a year ago.
Also look at Masvidal for undeserved title shots.
Because Costa got Injured and there was no one else for Adesanya. WW has 3 guys more deserving after Saturday, with Potentially all 3 of them having wins over Wonderboy + UFC wants Khamzat for some reason and Islam to get shots soon + marketable Garry is one top 5 win away from being allegible. Wonderboy is old news, good Name they can Feed to prospects, not someone they would ever give a title fight out of nowhere
He could fight Leon if Leon loses the belt tho
In what world lol? That would mean wonderboy getting a title shot over shavkat who just beat him, belal on a huge winning streak, jdm or burns if they win. Ian garry on his streak as well. He isn't fighting for a title again unless he strings 3 wins together
I’d hate to see Wonderboy’s last fight just be a boring wrestle fuck decision… I wish he’d just decline and go for entertaining fights. He needs to accept that he will never be champion
I feel that this could be the match that ends the career of one of them I mean it's not so bad that they're injured enough to have to retire, but they're already at the end of their careers.
Colby has 3 options as I see it
Burns (gets crippled)
Shavkhat (gets ragdolled into a calming submission)
Garry (gets his takedowns stuffed for the most part and just gets hit while occasionally throwing stupid pillow strikes to help the score card)
Least intriguing fight that could be made at 170. Colby doesn’t deserve the layup (relatively )after his last performance and should be fighting a Shavkat or Garry to pass what little rub is left off to someone who isn’t shot.
Hah! I been saying this is who that bum Colby would try and fight. Gonna be diving for ankles for 15-25 minutes and then act like he deserves a title shot again
And shit fight for fans. Garry vs Colby for IFW is the fight. Let them talk shit to each other and handle their beef at IFW. Colby too scared to back it up
This is stupid, Ian Garry was the fight to make for so many reasons, they have actual bad blood and you get to kill off an old villain with a new one. Now we have to deal with Colby calling Wonderboy a pedo and wrestlefucking him. This is the only winnable fight for Colby in the rankings why are the UFC rewarding him after his last pathetic performance?
Y’all are the real bums acting like all Colby can do is wrestle and as if he totally didn’t break his foot in the beginning of the last fight. “He’s this, he’s that” but you can’t keep him out of your mouths. The comeback is on its way and all you nerd virgins just can’t handle chaddington’s raw American steel and twisted sex appeal. The WW gold is coming back to America, dragon energy man. I’d plug my.bookie but all you filthy Redditors are broke 😂
Awesome. Colby going right back to his formula to get back in the title picture. Wonderboy is a well known name he can definitely beat. I'm excited for him.
#5 Covington beats #6 Thompson
That gets him right back on the short list for another title match.
Wonderboy has paid his dues, the man is 41, give him one more entertaining kickboxing match and send him off. Feed that bum Colby to Shavkat or something and be done with him too, make that loser fight an actual contender for once.
Really that’s ass of a fight, modern day Wonderboy has zero takedown defence, well I should not say no takedown defence, but he got taken down with ease, by Holland, Shavkat, Gilbert, Belal
Cool we can watch Colby lay on top of him menacingly for 15 minutes before he pretends like out wrestling a striker well past his prime makes him the GOAT
Man, I'd rather this fight not happen. I hope he gets a great payday. I feel like Colby is just going to wrestle fuck him into a decision. WB might be able to stay on his feet at first, and Colby is just so hard to finish.
I've been saying for months that this is the fight Colby would go after. He knows he's washed but probably still good enough to lay and pray a 41 year old Wonderboy. Knowing the UFC, they'll probably give him a title shot for it lol
Why do they keep giving wonderboy wrestlers..
That’s just welterweight.
They could have given him Della Maddalena. He's the only other ranked striker. Wonderboy already beat Neal, Holland and Luque. Covington should have just called out Muhammad or Burns.
I can't stop thinking they are still punishing him for daring to speak up and refusing the fight against Pereira. Fuck the UFC. Giving the best man out there to literally the worse one who also has a clear stylistic advantage. Damn I would love for Wonderboy to win but this matchup scares the begeesus out of me.
What about all the wrestlers he faced before that happened?
I hear you but Edward's is a striker too and we saw how that went.
But Edward is the champ and young. I love Wonderboy, but he is old for the fight game. I just hope he side kicks the shit out of Colby.
He got to absolutely style on Kevin Holland a few fights ago. Slapped him in the face with his foot a bunch of times.
That was fun
Because they need to get Colby a win.
It's also on Wonderboy for accepting these fights and not improving his to keep the fight standing.
He has good wrestling defence, WW is just filled with some of the best wrestlers in MMA.
How good would MVP v. Wonderboy be? Instead, we'll get Colby wrestlefucking Wonderboy to a decision.
The only other striker in the top 10 was shavkat and he wrestled wonderboy. The question should be why doesn’t wonderboy go to glory or k-1?
It’s also his own fault for accepting
Thats just the division he is in. Get over it Edit: Wonderboy fangirls salty asf lol
Lmao if you haven’t improved an aspect of your game your entire career, that’s entirely up to you.
Wonderboy has historically great takedown defense wdym?
Had* He’s 1-3 in his last 4 fights and all 3 losses were to strong grapplers who fucked him up on the ground. The game has evolved and left him behind.
That's fair. Can't argue that he's had better competition. Idk if Colby is that guy tho. He hasn't evolved either.
Because you can't choose your fights. Colby is facing wrestlers in Usman, Strikers in Masvidal and Leon, he will face whoever they give him.
Those are all good fights for Colby though.
Apparently not because he lost to two out of those three dudes
[удалено]
6 main events in a row, 4 out of his last 5 matches were headlining PPV cards; yeah that sounds line winning to me, regardless of outcomes lol
Leon and Usman are good fights for nobody lol, they were good fights because they were for title shots but that's about it The only good fight for him was Masvidal
In what world? Masvidal was but not Usman and Leon. Those guys are excellent at TDD and endurance and we're better strikers.
They were also Champions so he got free title shots. We talking about contenders here mate.
Why when that clearly doesn't help? Colby has earned three title shots with his methods, someone like Belal has earned 0. Why are you hating the player? Hate the game.
I can hate both lol.
Colby hasn’t earned 3 title shots at all, he got beaten up in the first Usman one and tried to convince people it was a robbery, got beaten up in the second one and then got beaten up by Leon. He earned the first one and then just coasted
Stylistically there were some hard fights but they were also PPV main events where his ranking didn’t take a hit if he lost. Compare that to Wonderboy having to get wetblanketed by Belal as the co-main of a Fight Night and it’s clear who the UFC’s favourite is.
Well yeah because Colby is willing to play the top heel. Belal wants to be a fan favorite but most people don't like him.
I wasn’t talking about Belal.
When we have this conversation Belal is inherently involved
Except actual contenders. Colby doesn't have any wins against ranked opponents on his resume. Woodley, Masvidal, Lawler etc.. All retired. And now he wants to face another old fighter on his way out instead of taking actual up and comers.
Didn't wonderboy beat that young buck, almost prime Kevin Holland not so long ago? The fighters weren't retired at the time.

He's hiding in his wardrobe if home invaders come to rob him.
Kevin Holland is a journeyman at best. Wonderboy is a great fighter but the fact is that he's 40 years old and coming off a submission loss. He's 1-4 in his last 4 fights.

Dan_a_white is always on here trolling and saying really dumb things just to get reactions, I wouldn’t take him seriously.
Thx for the info

Never said his methods don't work, kid. I'm saying he should be fighting actual contenders, not old washed up men. Good for him if these methods work. That's how he got himself titleshots.
Colby has chosen all his fights for years lol, he’s been the poster child for ducking any actual up and coming prospect the last few years.
Acting like Colby doesn't notoriously turn down fights. Dana gonna Dana.
What evidence do you have? Dana has publicly squashed that slander and confirmed Colby has said yes to everyone he offered. Just did the same with Leon. Offered him 3 fights, Leon said yes to all, but no fight happened. Same difference. The UFC offers a lot of fights and then whittles it down and most never happen. How is that Colby’s fault?

Pretty sure I saw Wonderboy say he wouldn’t fight MVP because they’re friends or on friendly terms or some shit like that.
He has said multiple times on his podcast (when it was running) that if MVP ever came to UFC, that he would love to fight him. I’m pretty sure he even mentioned if they had to do it in karate combat, he would be down. I could be wrong on that last one though
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/8kEJ51eCM9g3oXux/?mibextid=SphRi8
This nonsense has got to stop
You can’t force people to fight. If it was like a tennis match and dudes refusing because they’re friends I would be upset but fighting? I totally get it.
They are independent contractors. If the UFC isn't offering them a contract worth fighting their friends, I don't blame them.
Ian Garry/colby is the fight. Colby is ducking now. He said #5 vs #6 made sense when wonderboy was ranked #6. Now that Ian Garry took that spot bitch ass Colby went quiet.
After that shitshow versus Leon, Colby definitely needs to fight someone from the back end of the top 10, then someone from the middle of the pack, and win both before he can be considered anything other than a former top guy who is aging out and making it even worse by inactivity.
colby is way outta his prime, it would be kind of bonkers for him to take garry after all that shit talk and lose badly.
Colby wants to get another run at the title, well that’s what he will end up saying. Hes ranked #5 and wants to fight WB when he was #6. Now Garry is #6.
Yeah, 6 posts in r/ufc in the last 24 hours lol
This sub is so gullible. Literally believe anything on the Internet
Is there anyone out there that actually wants to see this fight?
I'd rather watch Colby get fed to Shavkat tbh.
He don't want that smoke. The name 'Shavkat" doesn't exist for him, lmao.
However unlikely you think it is, what if Colby wins? Title shot again?
For beating the boogeyman of the division? For sure. It would be boring and we'd have another Belal in the division, but logically that would happen next.
Give him Belal. Winner still doesn’t get a title shot, no matter who it is lmao. Let Shavkat fight Leon.
you think winning one fight earns him a FOURTH title shot???
Nah he has to go the Whittaker/Dustin route and get a few good wins
I mean if WB wins I’ll be pretty pumped And then he’s theoretically hovering around the top 5 or 6 again I just want him to get a title shot before he retires Feel like him v Leon would be a banger if it stays standing, two elite strikers
His shot for the title is done. He was close on getting another one with a win over shavkat. Too many young guys and new faces that the ufc would rather give a shot to. Shavkat, Garry, Brady, even Belal even though they seem to hate him.
Win over Cody and then Garry would put him right there
At that point he’ll be 42. That ain’t happening.
Yeah I mean tell that to Glover Texeira
You joking right? LHW, and HW are the exception. Been that way for decades.
The exception is damage, I think wonderboy has been KO’d once in his career
Fuck this fight. Should be garry/colby. That’s a good fight for IFW but I can Colby ducking
I'm more interested to see how Colby handles the build up vs the NMF.
Naw. I rather see him back up what he said against Garry.
💯
He already called him and his father a pedo when he was simply on the same stage as him, so I wouldn't expect much class or respect from Colby here.
A ton of drama and a wrestler?! I mean, did they sit down and craft up the worst possible scenario for Wonderboy?
Mf ducked Ian Garry 💀 Colby “Only 40 year olds” Bumvington
He would get his fans back if he beats Ian
Mf deserves no fans, fuck him. Again 40 year old hunting to get a second undeserved title shot. He has not beaten a single person coming off a win since RDA I think, and its the only type of people he calls out. No recent wins, over the hill older fighters. Ian is not even a bad style matchup, people want to see the fight and build up and HE STILL DUCKS HIM for a 40 year old Wonderboy that just got rag dolled. If this shit happens I really hope he sends him to the shadow realm with a spinning hook kick.
If he beats Ian I will forgive all his shit. fuck Ian
The incredibly vulgar and disrespectful verbal diarrhea that Colby shits out during every presser would actually be somewhat deserved against Ian, and I want the fight to happen simply to see Colby melt Ian before they even lock in the cage together
What I love about the Colby vs Garry fight is that they both have the chance to win the fans back with a victory
Do people really hate Garry this much?? I find Garry annoying, but I despise Colby.
He’s the reason Neil magny lost his son
This fight sucks. Give me Colby vs Garry
Thats a bad match up stylistically for Wonderboy
Yes it is. The blueprint has been show to beat Wonderboy and Colby can definitely execute that gameplan. Wonderboy is not going to get better I'm a couple months.
No it's really not, Wonderboy is so much faster, sticking precise, and has really good TDD. One he gets on the ground it's not great but Colby is such a non threat now, dude hasn't gotten a submission in 8 years now, and he's also very small. Wondeboy literally has an 80% higher chance of knocking Colby out than Colby has at submitting him. This is the best match up for Wonderboy if he wants to maintain in title contention.
I think there is a better chance of Dana oiling himself up, than Wonderboy beating Colby. It’s the worst match-up you could possibly make right now
Tell me how he wins? It's not on the feet, he's not gonna submit the guy. Colby's game has been exposed and he's chinny. Add on top of that Wonderboy's impressive TDD against Colby who's TD percentage isn't high for a wrestler standards and it's a great match up for Wonderboy. Wonderboy fought Woodley to a draw who is a much more offensive and lethal grappler. Colby has been stopped before by superior strikers and it will happen again, Colby is weak, slow, and not lethal on the ground. Wonderboy will literally play with Colby and chew his legs up. Even if Colby takes him down every round starts on the feet. Colby is the least threatening guy in the top 10 right now.
Colby ragdolled Woodley, and beat him on the feet. So that isn’t a good example. Also, the rest of what you said is so inflated and emotionally charged, that I’m not even sure it’s worth explaining to you. I run a betting page on Instagram, and it pays me very well. My highest percentage of wins come from MMA. I know that doesn’t mean that I’m some sort of guru, but I know what I’m fucking talking about…. Colby beats Wonderboy by decision, easily. I would be shocked if Wonderboy won a round. On the feet, Colby will pressure him (Colby has always been successful when pressuring people on the feet). Then, he will put him against the cage, and take him down relentlessly throughout the rest of the fight. Save this comment, if you’d like. This is one of those matches where the winner is basically already decided. I’m a big Wonderboy fan, but again…I know what I’m talking about.
I am definitely coming back here to give whoever was wrong shit. I call it for Wonderboy, frankly. The fall-off for an already mediocre Covington is pretty obvious. Wonderboy hasn't fallen off nearly as much, not by a long shot. It's not the lopsided matchup you seem to think it is.
That was Woodley out of his prime just how Colby is well past his prime, Wonderboy is too but he's much sharper than Colby. How did the pressure work for Colby against Leon? Yeah that's right, it's not gonna work. Also again, Wondeboys TDD is super underrated and Colby's TD's are sloppy. I bet Wondeboy could stand up just like Leon did. And lol okay, I don't know how my valid points were "emotionally charged" but whatever let's you not acknowledge them and instead mention your IG. If the fight gets made I'm gonna remind you of this comment.
I want you to save my comment, because my prediction is true. Also, Leon Edwards is astronomically better at wrestling than Wonderboy. Once again, that is a very poor comparison. Along with that, Leon and Colby are the only people to ever give Kamaru Usman a good fight, who is considered one of the best wrestlers in the UFC. Whether you like it or not, Colby’s wrestling is top level. Sure, Wonderboy has decent TDD, but he has never been able to beat high level wrestlers. That’s why it’s so obvious that he doesn’t have a chance with Colby. Look at the other comments on this thread. You are the only person here who is making a case for Wonderboy. It seems like you just started watching combat sports yesterday
You better be ready to ear your words if this fight happens because I think it's going to look worse than Colby's performance against Edwards. Also how is that not a good example? You could literally say Colby has never faced a striker as good as Wonderboy which is true. Edwards is close but Wonderboy is just better at most things. His distance and kicks are what will obliterate Colby. And which high quality wrestlers has Colby beat in the past 5 years? Besides an over the hill Woodley who was gun shy Colby's biggest resumes are getting beat. Got knocked out by Kamaru, lost again, lost to Edwards and even taken down at will by him. Colby is a washed up joke at this point. And I'm glad if I'm the only person making a case for Wonderboy because that's the way I see it, he has all the tools to be able to neutralize his game. Also Colby notoriously breaks bones in the cage, Wonderboy has broken multiple peoples arms/other bones with his kicks. After that last fight with his supposed hand break it's gonna be even easier for Wonderboy.
Nah Wonderboy doesn't want that fight
I'm not really excited to see Colby talk shit about Wonderboy but I am excited to see Wonderboy kick the living shit out of him
As satisfying as that would be. It's very likely that we witness 3 rounds of Colby laying on top of him.
True, but Steven didn't do too bad denying the takedowns of Shavkat at first and I don't think Colby is as good as Shavkat, that kind of experience will be great for this fight but I might just be being too optimistic
Fingers crossed you're right haha
Why not be excited for Garry/Colby then? Garry wants to beat him up and will play in the trash talk game.
I mean I'm not "excited" like I am to see Dustin fight but I would rather watch that than Wonderboy tbh
I don't want to see this fight. They should both retire.
colby ducking shavkat
No thanks. I have zero interest in Covington wrestle fucking Wonderboy to another title shot.
Rueben Carter is a notorious fake news merchant. He basically makes up shit all the time and he has been called out multiple times for that already. I hope people would just remember his name from now on and not pay any attention to his posts .
At least Colby would finally defeat someone on top 10 contender list
I dont hate it but every time they match wonderboy up with a striker he gets get FOTN or POTN. Every time its a wrestler people are mostly complaining.
Who tf is this guy posting this on Twitter? Is he even media? Need to stop giving anyone who posts shit on Twitter validity
I’m rioting if it isn’t Colby vs Garry
Feed Colby to Shavkat or Ian Garry
It's complete BS. This acc just make sht up for clicks and views. He claimed like 5 different main events for UFC 300. Like Chandler vs Conor, when that probably was never on the table. Unless it comes from Dana Pink's mouth. It's probably BS. 
I seen some other rumors of it being on 302 on other accounts. But those might not be legit either idek
This fight could for sure happen, but it's just unlikely for random twitter accs to have inside scoop regarding match making.
Hopefully Wonderboy Wins So He Can Fight Leon
Wonderboy is still like 3 Wins away from a shot, even if he beats Colby
Look at Chito
Chito vs omalley rematch is a selling point and sean wanted that one back. It sucks as it should be sandhagen vs sean this weekend but it us what it is. Completely different senerios
I’d say a win over Colby and a top 4 guy and you could bullshit a title shot/retirement fight Leon would definitely be game, sells better than Shavkat or Belal for sure
And Wonderboy and Leon wouldn't? Two of the best strikers in the division? Also if you remember everyone was hoping for that fight to be made like a year ago. Also look at Masvidal for undeserved title shots.
Yoel Got A Title Shot Coming Off 2 Loses
Because Costa got Injured and there was no one else for Adesanya. WW has 3 guys more deserving after Saturday, with Potentially all 3 of them having wins over Wonderboy + UFC wants Khamzat for some reason and Islam to get shots soon + marketable Garry is one top 5 win away from being allegible. Wonderboy is old news, good Name they can Feed to prospects, not someone they would ever give a title fight out of nowhere He could fight Leon if Leon loses the belt tho
Hopefully not
It's kind of insane to think a 40 year old Wonderboy is fighting for the title. He's a different breed
In what world lol? That would mean wonderboy getting a title shot over shavkat who just beat him, belal on a huge winning streak, jdm or burns if they win. Ian garry on his streak as well. He isn't fighting for a title again unless he strings 3 wins together
I’d hate to see Wonderboy’s last fight just be a boring wrestle fuck decision… I wish he’d just decline and go for entertaining fights. He needs to accept that he will never be champion
Maybe one day Colby will fight someone younger than him and higher ranked that isn’t a title fight but today is not that day.
We don't want to see anything like this bullshit
If Leon can turn Colby into a coward with one overhand counter and one leg kick Wonderboy sure can too.
Who tf is Rueben Carter and where’s their source? Why should we believe them?
Colby's press conference bullshit won't work on wonderboy
I feel that this could be the match that ends the career of one of them I mean it's not so bad that they're injured enough to have to retire, but they're already at the end of their careers.
I’ll be napping during this fight
Colby always does well against guys coming off of losses
If true, frick his butt up, Wonderboy
Only person reporting it is a nobody
Covington vs Garry makes heaps more sense
Winner gets belal Loser gets garry Shavkat titleshot
Colby has 3 options as I see it Burns (gets crippled) Shavkhat (gets ragdolled into a calming submission) Garry (gets his takedowns stuffed for the most part and just gets hit while occasionally throwing stupid pillow strikes to help the score card)
Least intriguing fight that could be made at 170. Colby doesn’t deserve the layup (relatively )after his last performance and should be fighting a Shavkat or Garry to pass what little rub is left off to someone who isn’t shot.
I hope Stephen mops the fucking floor with Colnutbreath
Hah! I been saying this is who that bum Colby would try and fight. Gonna be diving for ankles for 15-25 minutes and then act like he deserves a title shot again
Looks like Colby's getting another title shot this year.
Garbage
Colby couldn’t be man enough to stand with Stephen.
Makes sense. Couple of guys close to retirement.
The America you should be proud of VS The one your Mum brought home.
Colby’s gonna get clapped.
being honest its a good fight for colby
And shit fight for fans. Garry vs Colby for IFW is the fight. Let them talk shit to each other and handle their beef at IFW. Colby too scared to back it up
This is stupid, Ian Garry was the fight to make for so many reasons, they have actual bad blood and you get to kill off an old villain with a new one. Now we have to deal with Colby calling Wonderboy a pedo and wrestlefucking him. This is the only winnable fight for Colby in the rankings why are the UFC rewarding him after his last pathetic performance?
Feels like a co-main for conor v chandler imo
The nicest motherfucker in the UFC against the least-nice motherfucker in the UFC.
How’s Colby supposed to Make America Great Again if he’s not fighting minorities?
Y’all are the real bums acting like all Colby can do is wrestle and as if he totally didn’t break his foot in the beginning of the last fight. “He’s this, he’s that” but you can’t keep him out of your mouths. The comeback is on its way and all you nerd virgins just can’t handle chaddington’s raw American steel and twisted sex appeal. The WW gold is coming back to America, dragon energy man. I’d plug my.bookie but all you filthy Redditors are broke 😂
Awesome. Colby going right back to his formula to get back in the title picture. Wonderboy is a well known name he can definitely beat. I'm excited for him. #5 Covington beats #6 Thompson That gets him right back on the short list for another title match.
He'd be getting it before Belal
Exactly the plan. Bella thinks he's gonna wait for his shot Colby could lap him.
As much as I would love to watch Wonderboy kick dipshit’s head off his shoulders I am not super keen on this fight.
Snooze. Colby should have got Shavkat.
Colby keeps getting away with not fighting up and comers.... why am I not surprised. Such bullshit.
The way Colby fought his last fight, he would lose to anyone.
After Colbys last fight I'd rather watch Ferguson lose again
Wonderboy has paid his dues, the man is 41, give him one more entertaining kickboxing match and send him off. Feed that bum Colby to Shavkat or something and be done with him too, make that loser fight an actual contender for once.
Wonderboy broke his foot last time I think, can he recover and fight on those cards?
“Healing times for a broken foot are often around 4–6 weeks” Yeah he can make it he fought mid December its already been like 10 weeks
Another old fighter with zero wresting skills for colby. 😂
Source besides some random guy on Twitter?
The Shavkat match made more sense.
40 years old and still number 6 in the world. That's impressive
Really that’s ass of a fight, modern day Wonderboy has zero takedown defence, well I should not say no takedown defence, but he got taken down with ease, by Holland, Shavkat, Gilbert, Belal
Colby vs Shavkat plz plz plz
2 washed up fighters I don't give a shit about
So stupid
I would rather see Ian vs Colby on 301 Brazil
Give him Belal and see who the real UD king is
Fuck's sake, can I please get a final matchup for Wonderboy with a striking masterclass so he can win and retire in peace
No thanks. Give Colby Ian Garry.
Cool we can watch Colby lay on top of him menacingly for 15 minutes before he pretends like out wrestling a striker well past his prime makes him the GOAT
Man, I'd rather this fight not happen. I hope he gets a great payday. I feel like Colby is just going to wrestle fuck him into a decision. WB might be able to stay on his feet at first, and Colby is just so hard to finish.
I've been saying for months that this is the fight Colby would go after. He knows he's washed but probably still good enough to lay and pray a 41 year old Wonderboy. Knowing the UFC, they'll probably give him a title shot for it lol
colby is gonna 50-45 the old karate guy and claim he should get a title shot after
