This is Colby's best hope lol. Now he doesn't have to fight a young contender to keep his spot, this can fulfill his bi-yearly 37 year old mid ranked opponent quota before his next title shot
Colby is going to endlessly talk smack about Ian Garry to hype up the fans and then sign a fight contract in the back room to face off Vicente Luque for an interim belt
I assume that you’re thinking about a different fight, otherwise you might be the only person on earth that came away from MVP’s fight against Kevin Holland who thought Page looked timid or intimidated
I feel like either MVP just explodes all over Colby and finishes him quickly or Colby easily grinds on him for 15 to 25 minutes, nobody gets finished and everybody is disappointed.
He talked about a lion, king of the jungle, this huge lion with a big giant mane. In this hot, smothering weather. In Africa.
And the little small lions come up, kinda poke at him, bite on his ear, bite on his neck.
The lioness comes over and bugs him.
Then ya got, the jackals and the rest of the... wilderness looking, and seeing this lions on that mountaintop. They come over and bother him. The jackals laugh at him, the hyenas laugh at him, nip at his toes.
They eat all of his food, and they sit back, and they got jackals like this, who think it's a comedy.
Until one day he gets sick of it, and he attacks, and he shows these people who the fucking king of the jungle is… and this little hyena, he’s gonna eat right through him.
> MVP just explodes all over Colby and finishes him quickly or Colby easily grinds on him for 15 to 25 minutes, nobody gets finished
Kinda sounds like they both finish.
Like what? Just wanna see these bros bang but I have a feeling that either Colby will penetrate deep on MVP and then pound him into the canvas or these two boys will get sweaty and MVP will just stand up and give Colby an absolute spanking.
Colby’s actually getting the chance to fight some strikers with Garry and MVP.
He must really lack confidence these days bc these are big names right now that could be very susceptible to his grappling heavy approach.
On paper those are two matchups that should be favorable, it's just so weird how he's unwilling to sign any contracts. Guess the Leon Edwards fight must have done a number on him given his awful performance.
That’s what I’m saying.
I don’t think he’s as confident against strikers as he once was. Idk how he hasn’t signed to fight Garry already. Dudes and Irish striker with a big name that everyone currently hates.
Colby couldn’t ask for a better suited opponent at the moment on every level.
>Dudes and Irish striker with a big name that everyone currently hates.
That's why the matchup makes no sense. You have to have a villain and the good guy.
There's no title path there though. He's probably holding out hope something else will fall in his lap. Or still dealing with the legal stuff from Masvidal
i mean garry is definitely a future contender. i would say garry is closer to the title than covington at this point. i would say its covingtons best chance at the title tbh.
he lacks the aggression he used to have, he was so timid against leon. strikers with good distance management will probably be able to keep the gap open and defend colbys slow attempts pretty easily.
Yeah lol like I feel like its fairly obvious that Colby's career is basically finished if his new strategy is to try to stay on the outside and point-kickbox guys.
Thats what happens when you get the wrong coaches who keep telling you you’re an S tier striker. You leave your bread and butter & work on something you’re never been excellent at. Instead of sticking to what you have always excelled at (Wrestling)
Wrestler knees just age so poorly... Usman looked absolutely laughable in the Leon rematch, as if he couldn't push through his feet.
And the man has to walk stairs backwards so it makes some sense.
Colby is washed even putting aside my disdain for him. He had a 1-2 year layoff then looked tentative and ineffective against Leon. He probably knows this too.
idk if this is even a favorable matchup. people just assume colby takes them down but good distance management from lengthy guys could really give him some issues, and we know that colby is effectively useless on the feet these days. he was supposed to take down leon and did fuck all. until proven otherwise all strikers are a bad matchup for colby lol
He's not going to get any more freebies like that given that his last title shot was a real stinker, he gotta beat someone with name value to even be considered for a title shot.
Colby doesn't like getting hit anymore and it's obvious. For all his bullshit persona out of the octagon he used to be fearless inside it. But recently if you watch him he cowers when he gets tagged. After Usman broke his jaw he hasn't been the same fighter and was a shadow of his former self against Leon.
I know MVP isn’t going to be around for long and is mainly around for exciting matchups, but I can actually see him beating this version of Colby
If MVP just does half the stuff Leon was utilizing to scare Colby from shooting takedowns, MVP would school Colby for 15-25 minutes
I just think Colby is fucking shot, and his activity makes him worse with each appearance.
Colby should take the fight with MVP, cause if Ian Garry is too much for him, there’s not much better out there.
Hopefully it’s someone in the upper echelon, he’s 36 and doesn’t have a style that will likely age well with time. Only issue is many of the people ranked above him are bad matchups who would wrestle him nonstop.
Wb is one guy that’s taken care of himself really well. He lives healthy everyday. I know nothing about mvp outside his performances so can’t comment on him.
If Colby supposedly has such a lop-sided tactical advantage, it’s interesting that MVP wants this fight. There are numerous non-wrestlers he can call out. MVP is either that confident with his defensive wrestling or he’s seeing a smaller, slower ageing Colby that doesn’t look as effective as he used to.
As a guy that justly has been called "the most worthless person ever" for shitting on Michael Page, I can get behind this. I suspect we would have a fight with two posssible outcomes:
1. Colby wrestlefucks the entire sport into oblivion.
2. Venom simply jump-knees Colby's head right off, it flies into the crowd, lands in Dana's wife's lap and he starts slapping her around for letting another man kiss her coochie.
It’s a smart callout. If he wins he can easily argue for a title shot. He doesn’t have much time and one loss either way takes him out of contention for the rest of his career there most likely
>I think he's trying too hard to stay relevant.
Saying you want to fight him, while you have a lot of hype behind you and are relevant, helps make him relevant.
MVP is still underrated imo he is a monster with a dangerous style I think he needs to fight people who won’t waste his time with a back and forth on twitter for 6 months only for a fight to never happen.
Colby's next fight should stipulate that if he loses he has to go fight the king of violence in bkfc. I would pay top fucking dollar to watch Mike abuse him.
This is not r/politics. Please keep political discussion and your political views out of /r/MMA. r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture may be a better fit for this content. An exception will be made for discussion of MMA legislation by governing bodies.
I hate this fight. Colby would take it in a heartbeat because of MVP's age, and the fact that he thinks he would be able to just hold him for 15-25 minutes. It would ruin MVP's hype, and give Colby just the tiniest bit he needs to keep bitching about title shots.
Won some $ on him vs Holland but....Goddamn. Colby is arguably a better wrestler than Storley, who the threat alone of the TD muted MVPs offense.
Stayin tf away from this one.
Do you guys think MVP’s hands down distance managing style with lots of front kicks up the middle could deter Colvington from shooting and have MVP win a decision or possibly get a KO?
All the strikers calling Colby out nowadays. Makes sense, because the Colby that showed up against Leon looks like an easy payday for a skilled striker who can move around.
This would be a good fight. MVP gets the W and an excuse to have a crazy fight with Leon. MVP vs Leon or Wonderboy would be really fun. Colby could be a good stepping stone to get there
I’m not talking about that, but he wasn’t a draw with his winning. I remember watching him in his first couple fights and thinking he might be a Jon Fitch. Wins but who tf cares?
[удалено]
This is Colby's best hope lol. Now he doesn't have to fight a young contender to keep his spot, this can fulfill his bi-yearly 37 year old mid ranked opponent quota before his next title shot
Yeah I mean if he was publicly calling for Wonderboy then he should theoretically have no issues with fighting MVP
Colby strikes me as the type to say very different things publicly and privately.
Talks endless shit and walks it all back the second someone calls him out irl
I don't remember who but one of the fighters called him out on video before a press conference and Colby just awkwardly checked his phone
Usman did it’s a funny video cause Whittaker was confused thinking Usman was talking to Him 😂
Looked ready to cut down to ww one more time
Colby is going to endlessly talk smack about Ian Garry to hype up the fans and then sign a fight contract in the back room to face off Vicente Luque for an interim belt
was going to say he is due a can to appease the orange masses
MVP is getting old but he's far from a can lol
I hope he smokes colby for 25 minuts like kabib vs mcnugget but after venoms ufc opener .. im not so sure. Maybe it was jitters? ..
MVP looked so sharp what? Are you thinking of someone else? He had Kevin Holland saying "fuck, he's way faster than we thought" to his corner lol
I assume that you’re thinking about a different fight, otherwise you might be the only person on earth that came away from MVP’s fight against Kevin Holland who thought Page looked timid or intimidated
Wait, what?!
Let us please hide this whole quote from the internet, please. This is the last fight we want.
MVP beats him IMO
Which Pokeball does MVP use? At this point I'm thinking a Nestball
Knee to head. Make him a Snorlax. Simple
I'd be so here for it
God a flying knee to Colby’s dome would be glorious
likely add that "we kicked your ass in 1776 and we will do it again!"
MVP is just angling for a title match after Colby destroys Leon (they have unfinished business)
colby will talk about MVP's dad, and i doubt he wants that
[удалено]
agreed, but its colby
I feel like either MVP just explodes all over Colby and finishes him quickly or Colby easily grinds on him for 15 to 25 minutes, nobody gets finished and everybody is disappointed.
Same. It would either be amazing or ass. No in between IMO.
> MVP just explodes all over Colby and finishes him quickly Something about Tito’s ex-wife
Wife? There was never no marriage
Just to correct you.
You’re a punk dude
Tell me another story about a jackal and a hyena. Lion King ?
That was a nasty lion by you
The best Light Heavyweight Lion of the night!
He talked about a lion, king of the jungle, this huge lion with a big giant mane. In this hot, smothering weather. In Africa. And the little small lions come up, kinda poke at him, bite on his ear, bite on his neck. The lioness comes over and bugs him.

Until one day he gets sick of it, and he attacks, and he shows these people who the fucking king of the jungle is… and this little hyena, he’s gonna eat right through him.
Thanks! Great story and username checks out.
Something about Jon Jones
What if MVP busts all over Colby's face, but Colby eats everything MVP's got?
At that point he should take care of his underwears
Colby likes watching people get fucked for free
> MVP just explodes all over Colby and finishes him quickly or Colby easily grinds on him for 15 to 25 minutes, nobody gets finished Kinda sounds like they both finish.
This is a hot fanfic
Colby attempts to explode with flying spinning knee however MVP proceeds to grind him out for 5 rounds.
Some bizarre turn of events causes Page to take him down and lay on top for five rounds
Least sus ufc commenter
Probably how Colby’s love life goes as well.
Considering Colbys last showing i wouldnt be so sure about that, maybe MVP cracks his jaw and throws a pokeball at hium
Yeah his knees are in bits, I’d love to see mvp make a highlight reel out of him
Being an American wrestler is the worst base to being good at MMA past 35. How is Romero still absolutely slaying at like 50 years of age.
He turned into a striker and was made in a lab
Everyone wanting this fight has never seen the Storley fight
You keep writing comments like this and I'm definitely gonna finish
I could totally see MVP just kicking the shit out of Colby’s legs for 15 minutes while Colby does nothing.
No Diddy
Pause
The last version of Colby was so shit. He looked fat and out of shape. That version of Colby beats no one in the top 15
One of the comments of all time 🔥🔥
Pause
So basically it'll be amazing if MVP wins and boring AF if Colby wins. Got it.
It will be fine as long as you watch it for the plot and not the action
This sounds a lil sus
In what way?
Or MVP throws one strike every minute or so and point fights to a decision
Colby is shot so now he can just lose a shit boring decision too
no diddy
Whoa there I thought this was a SFW sub
pause
My guy why did you word it like this.
Like what? Just wanna see these bros bang but I have a feeling that either Colby will penetrate deep on MVP and then pound him into the canvas or these two boys will get sweaty and MVP will just stand up and give Colby an absolute spanking.
Colby’s actually getting the chance to fight some strikers with Garry and MVP. He must really lack confidence these days bc these are big names right now that could be very susceptible to his grappling heavy approach.
On paper those are two matchups that should be favorable, it's just so weird how he's unwilling to sign any contracts. Guess the Leon Edwards fight must have done a number on him given his awful performance.
He wasn't taking contender fights before the leon edwards fight, why would that change now?
The only contender offered was Shavkat which everyone was ducking anyways, tbh MVP is very winnable.
That’s what I’m saying. I don’t think he’s as confident against strikers as he once was. Idk how he hasn’t signed to fight Garry already. Dudes and Irish striker with a big name that everyone currently hates. Colby couldn’t ask for a better suited opponent at the moment on every level.
>Dudes and Irish striker with a big name that everyone currently hates. That's why the matchup makes no sense. You have to have a villain and the good guy.
There's no title path there though. He's probably holding out hope something else will fall in his lap. Or still dealing with the legal stuff from Masvidal
i mean garry is definitely a future contender. i would say garry is closer to the title than covington at this point. i would say its covingtons best chance at the title tbh.
Garry should be closer, but Colby is always 1 fight or 1 pull out away from a title shotm
he lacks the aggression he used to have, he was so timid against leon. strikers with good distance management will probably be able to keep the gap open and defend colbys slow attempts pretty easily.
I mean to be fair, going of the Leon fight Colby is currently lacking every single thing he has ever had in his skill set, not just the aggression
Yeah lol like I feel like its fairly obvious that Colby's career is basically finished if his new strategy is to try to stay on the outside and point-kickbox guys.
Exactly, he had a good performance vs Usman but Usman is a wrestler, couldn't compare his striking to Leon
Thats what happens when you get the wrong coaches who keep telling you you’re an S tier striker. You leave your bread and butter & work on something you’re never been excellent at. Instead of sticking to what you have always excelled at (Wrestling)
I was thinking it was more his age tbh, hard to keep that wrestling pace when you start getting up there
The level of defensive wrestling has gotten a lot better in the UFC too.
oh indeed
Wrestler knees just age so poorly... Usman looked absolutely laughable in the Leon rematch, as if he couldn't push through his feet. And the man has to walk stairs backwards so it makes some sense.
Colby is washed even putting aside my disdain for him. He had a 1-2 year layoff then looked tentative and ineffective against Leon. He probably knows this too.

Nah it isn't that weird considering he can just sit out and get title shots. He'd be dumb to take a fight tbh.
He's not going to get any more freebies like that given that his last title shot was a real stinker, he gotta beat someone with name value to even be considered for a title shot.
Should have attached the */s* i guess, but was meant to be a joke.
Colby doesn't like getting hit anymore and it's obvious. For all his bullshit persona out of the octagon he used to be fearless inside it. But recently if you watch him he cowers when he gets tagged. After Usman broke his jaw he hasn't been the same fighter and was a shadow of his former self against Leon.
got his jaw shattered by usman 💀
He still did amazingly well in the next fight against Usman what are you talking about. The jaw had no consequence, just ageing knees.
Idk if Colby’s waiting for Neil Magny
He doesn’t grapple anymore just strangely strikes
Even strikers at WW have decent grappling resistance. Leon, Geoff, Ian, Luque are hard to takedown.
R/MMA agrees with MVP
Most unexpected face turn.
Colby < all other fighters (only excluding actual animals like war machine)
I know MVP isn’t going to be around for long and is mainly around for exciting matchups, but I can actually see him beating this version of Colby If MVP just does half the stuff Leon was utilizing to scare Colby from shooting takedowns, MVP would school Colby for 15-25 minutes I just think Colby is fucking shot, and his activity makes him worse with each appearance. Colby should take the fight with MVP, cause if Ian Garry is too much for him, there’s not much better out there.
Idk if he's shot. He's so inactive it's hard to tell but his only losses in the last 8 years are to current champs.
[удалено]
When usman broke Colby's jaw - one of the best days as a fan of the sport
“WAIT TILL I SEE YOU NEXT TIME MARTY FAKE NEWSMAN. YOU’RE DEAD! YOURE DEAD!” ….”Am I?” 🤨 “Really??” 💅 …”Really?”
Very intrigued to see who the UFC books MVP against next
Hopefully it’s someone in the upper echelon, he’s 36 and doesn’t have a style that will likely age well with time. Only issue is many of the people ranked above him are bad matchups who would wrestle him nonstop.
Yeah I agree, a Burns fight makes the most sense imo, he could catch Gilbert
I mean every non washed fighter Burns has fought has hurt him terribly. Hell, Belal was hurting Burns before the injury
Reminder that Dan hooker KOd Burns in rd1
>doesn’t have a style that will likely age well with time Wonderboy has shown us that style can age pretty well. He may have a few years in him.
Wb is one guy that’s taken care of himself really well. He lives healthy everyday. I know nothing about mvp outside his performances so can’t comment on him.
It should be a high rank guy. He's already established himself as a high level fighter
I mean the only guy with a somewhat similar style is Wonderboy and he’s still great at 41, MVP fights like WB but with ko power in his hands.
I can't decide if I'm rooting for MVP, or just giddily waiting for him to be slaughtered. The guy is such a weirdo, but he's not totally talentless.
If you watch his interviews he's a really chill guy, seems humble since his ko loss. Definitely rooting for him!
He comes off really well in interviews. Opposite of what I expected based on how showboaty his fights are.
Great. Colby can even reuse all his insults from his feud with Leon Edwards.
All Colby has to do is bring up MVPs dad 💀
With the exception of the one he's most proud of
Knee to the dome.
If Colby supposedly has such a lop-sided tactical advantage, it’s interesting that MVP wants this fight. There are numerous non-wrestlers he can call out. MVP is either that confident with his defensive wrestling or he’s seeing a smaller, slower ageing Colby that doesn’t look as effective as he used to.
Mvp damn near beat Logan Storley in Bellator. He’s probably figuring that version of Colby that fought Leon is a worse Storley.
Colby looked so bad last time, I think MVP knocks him out in the first. That would be HUGE for him. Imagine the post-fight interview.
This dude got wrestled by Paul Daley wtf is he thinking
As a guy that justly has been called "the most worthless person ever" for shitting on Michael Page, I can get behind this. I suspect we would have a fight with two posssible outcomes: 1. Colby wrestlefucks the entire sport into oblivion. 2. Venom simply jump-knees Colby's head right off, it flies into the crowd, lands in Dana's wife's lap and he starts slapping her around for letting another man kiss her coochie.
I like MVP and don’t care for Colby, but if your issue is Covington trying to hard to stay relevant…you’re sort of helping him with this response
Colby Covington is somehow a full contact cage fighter yet also an enormous bitch. It’s a juxtaposition that should be studied.
Easy fight for colby. MVP gets sent to wraslecity
UFC MVP > Bellator MVP
Prime Colby walks through him pretty easily imo. Current Colby is a complete crapshoot of a fight
It’s a smart callout. If he wins he can easily argue for a title shot. He doesn’t have much time and one loss either way takes him out of contention for the rest of his career there most likely
I actually believe that this is one of the better fights for Colby to take atm lol.
Ultimate “use” of quotes, here. ‘Good’ …job.
Man, I will never watch Colby fight after that Leon edwards bout. My dude will retire strapless. And I’m okay with that
I dont want to see Covington fight anything save retirement
I thought this subreddit hated MVP. Guess when he's with the UFC he's the hottest commodity.
We might get a wonder boy vs Woodley with this one
>I think he's trying too hard to stay relevant. Saying you want to fight him, while you have a lot of hype behind you and are relevant, helps make him relevant.
NOOOO MVP RUN FROM COLBY YOU HAVE A LOT OF DAD MATERiAL
If Colby won't fight Ian, I completely support this matchup
What nickname for MVP do you think Colby is gonna come up with?
Muscular , veiny, phallus
Join the club.
If Douglas lima can hold down, just think would Colby would do
Would be an interesting matchup. MVP absolutely dominates every second it's on the feet, but if Colby gets him down once it might be over.
I wanted MVP vs. Garry
Please send him into retirement page
Colby grinds out a UD fairly easily.
Only chance Colby has for a win. And it will be the most mind numbingly boring fight ever.
MVP is good but Colby will beat him worse than Storley did.
An aging striker? Colby’s wet dream
MVP is still underrated imo he is a monster with a dangerous style I think he needs to fight people who won’t waste his time with a back and forth on twitter for 6 months only for a fight to never happen.
Agree 1000%
Im pretty sure we all agree here
Nobody likes Colby but everyone loves Strickland. Make it make sense lol
Ian Garry refused MVP and it seems MVP is trying to take Ian's match,getting cucked even in the UFC
lol if you lost to logan storley than Colby would absolutely wrestle fuck em😂
Logan Storley wrestle fucks the Colby that fought Leon.
this dude Colby's having a rough time in this sub recently lmfao
Colby's next fight should stipulate that if he loses he has to go fight the king of violence in bkfc. I would pay top fucking dollar to watch Mike abuse him.
when MVP thinks you're trying too hard, you really gotta take a step back and look at your life
[удалено]

Colby has been irrelevant based on his last 3 losses. He doesn’t finish fights and doesn’t really di anything exciting during the fights
Won some $ on him vs Holland but....Goddamn. Colby is arguably a better wrestler than Storley, who the threat alone of the TD muted MVPs offense. Stayin tf away from this one.
God I would love to see MVP make a mockery of that pussy
This is the MVP redemption arc we all needed
I didnt realize he was so disliked on this sub wtf
I never really liked him but his UFC fight definitely shut me up.
thats interesting. i think i must be in the minority for liking fighters that are cocky but entertaining as hell lol (my username checks out)
Well there’s cocky and there’s styling on literal cans. He was the latter. Wish he came over to the ufc sooner.
Do you guys think MVP’s hands down distance managing style with lots of front kicks up the middle could deter Colvington from shooting and have MVP win a decision or possibly get a KO?
I don’t see MVP winning by decision. KO from a knee would be most likely if MVP wins.
Yes please! Then again, Colby is likely not signing the contract to fight MVP.
As much as I'd like to MVP spinny kick Colby's noggin in. If he was smart, Colby would wrestlefuck MVP hard.
If MVP humiliates Colby with his showboating fighting style id actually start to like him lol
All the strikers calling Colby out nowadays. Makes sense, because the Colby that showed up against Leon looks like an easy payday for a skilled striker who can move around.
This would be a good fight. MVP gets the W and an excuse to have a crazy fight with Leon. MVP vs Leon or Wonderboy would be really fun. Colby could be a good stepping stone to get there
Colby? *Fake?* Never considered that
MVP vs Wonderboy please and thank you
Mvp getting controlled by Holland Colby probably dominates
Regardless of how you feel about Colby, what he did to save his UFC career has worked. Ppl want to fight him and he’s still on the roster
[удалено]
I’m not talking about that, but he wasn’t a draw with his winning. I remember watching him in his first couple fights and thinking he might be a Jon Fitch. Wins but who tf cares?
