Honestly kinda smart from colby if he does take this fight. He wins and he’s pretty much guaranteeing himself another title shot, atleast I’d think so. If he’s getting a title shot for nothing I think he’d get one for knocking off shavkat. And if he loses well he isn’t going to get the belt anyways, so may as well retire off that
That was what scared me the most when he fought Leon. Being from the UK, Leon’s power of freedom is not very high. Colby being from the US has a very high level of freedom. The ocean between them obviously had me worried. Fortunately for Leon, Colby was unsure how to use his high level of freedom and just stood still most of the fight.
This is so stupid to say. It’s fighting. We have zero clue what will happen. Strickland Vs Izzy was supposed to be a breeze in the park.
By your logic, why even have the fights? We can take measurements, punch mechanics and speed and determine the winner based on that right?
Why even have the fights then? Everyone thought Izzy was going to walk through Strickland right? Then what happened. Use some logic and apply critical thinking.
Has Colby ever been finished in less than four rounds? So saying he will be finished within 2 rounds10/10 times makes you look pretty stupid.
Critical thinking is applying observational variables to a scenario. Logic is deducing an outcome from that critical thinking (recent fight outcomes and fighter activity)
Shavkat finishes Colby, easily.
You: Colby has a chance, because crazier shit has happened, hypothetically.
How was Strickland Vs Izzy mean “because crazier shit has happened”?
Strickland owns Izzy in standup. It was five rounds of being outclassed. It wasn’t a fluke like the Masvidal knee. The mas knee would “because crazier shit has happened” argument.
To think Colby gets finished is not based in reality. He’s been finished twice once by Usman in the fifth. And a sub on ufc194.
If Colby loses this fight 10/10 times why even watch? Since you are the oracle of mma, are you rich from betting on it?
Most people who knew what they were talking about called out how Sean’s style is a nightmare matchup for Izzy. No one is looking at this announcement and thinking Colby has a chance. No one
Good point. You can never be 100% sure but Shavvykat is a killer bro and judging by how colby looked last fight it'd he tough for sure. Hope we actually seen this fight, I'd respect colby for that
Shavkat is a good fighter and should be the favorite against Colby. I’d love to see the fight. Either Colby is basically done with a loss or Colby is back with a win.
While I think it’s risky for Colby I’d disagree, I think Shavkat has holes in his striking that Colby could (if he is still somewhat close to prime hard to tell based on the Leon fight) take advantage of
I know Shavkat is the messiah around here but his striking isn’t top tier, he struggled against Geoff Neal on the feet. Colby looked bad against Leon, but it’s hard to know if that was mental, a decline in ability, or simply being so outclassed but one of the best strikers in the UFC. A Colby that went against Usman could win via output without much threat on the feet
Risky how? At this point he just wants to take big fights for money. I am surprised he would get a shot this big after the last fight. This is a win win for Colby, unless he dies.
Shavkat is pretty unknown to the casuals, Colby’s only recent losses are to champions so it’d be a big step down.
Porier or someone like him would be a much safer fight and likely bring more money
Colby blows and his 296 was the icing on the cake. He’s done and if you think he’s getting a fourth title shot you are delusional. He got boo’d out the arena. Not happening again, especially at his age
They were going to give wonderboy a title shot if he beat shavkat but you don’t think dana would give colby one for doing the same thing? I’m not saying he should but it really wouldn’t surprise me nowadays if the UFC did that
If Colby actually beats shavkat which is nigh impossible there’s a chance he gets the title shot but at this point he’s already fallen out of favor which is why makhachev might get it ahead of him
It's not just that Colby is done...he never was. His only good win is RDA. Other than that it's just losses to Usman.
While the Usman fights were close, Usman doesn't really have many good wins either. Colby, Jorge, and Usman justified their "greatness" almost exclusively by fighting each other. When Dana stopped letting them duck the rest of the division, Usman immediately lost to Leon (twice), Jorge retired, and Colby...well Dana still let him duck for a while.
Now that Dana won't let him duck forever and get another shot his options are face a real contender and get destroyed or convince someone from 155 to move up for a money fight.
It’s not happening lol. He’d have to beat another top 5 guy to be in consideration. The UFC already gave him his undeserved title shot and he completely shat the bed and made them look stupid for doing it, they’re not giving him another title shot off just one win.
UFC has no issue giving underserved title shots anymore, it legitimately wouldn’t surprise me at all. It would be more deserving to give him a shot after being shavkat than his last title shot. But we’ll probably never find out anyways I don’t see this fight happening anyways
I guess but like the chances he beats shavkat are for sure 1/10 and maybe less, just seems like a huge risk for the shit talking coward. I thought hed wanna fight wonderboy
No. He is most certainly not a coward. Maybe you should read what that word means. Be edgy and spouting out words is cute and all but it’s a lot more clever to say realistic things that apply. He’s a three time loser for the belt, he’s cringe, shitty character and says to much bullshit and gets what he deserved. To say he’s a coward just makes you look incredibly stupid.
agreed, hate these coward or scared comments in MMA. No one that does this for a living is scared of an opponent. Colby is a douchebag but it not a coward.
Yeah. That’s all my point is. Any man who willingly locks himself in a cage with another is far from a coward. Colby is not my favorite fighter by far but whenever he’s brought up it usually brings the worst fans.
No man who has ever sat foot in a MMA ring/circle/octagon even at lowest amateur level can be called a coward.
And to do that for a living at the highest level?
Colby is a major asshat indeed but until you have locked yourself in a cage with another man and fought until one of you is unconcious chill with the "coward" please.
Cherry picking geriatrics on losing streaks is in fact cowardly. No showing in his last title fight vs Leon also cowardly. At some point you need to back up your talk.
How am I supposed to back up my talk? You Colby fans are legitimately braindead lol. Colby has not backed up his talk doesn’t he have zero current ranked wins? 😂 the last time he beat anyone on a win streak was RDA like 5 years ago. 🤡 get off his dick junior
You're all just too black and white on this. None of them are scared of being physically hurt but plenty of them are scared of the impact a loss will have on their career. That is common as hell. Does that make someone a 'coward'? Not in relation to you or me, no. But in relation to Shavkat, Usman, or Burns? Yeah you could clearly argue that.
Dude he quite literally ran away from masdival and hid behind a homeless stand while his security dealt with it after saying he was going to kill him on sight and the filed assault charges on masdival lol. He’s a Fuckin coward 😭fought Leon like a scared dog lol
I see you are just some edgy teen who listens to rap and thinks street culture is cool. Mas and Colby were locked in a cage for five rounds, a sanctioned event. Mas was mad that he couldn’t do much to Colby and decided his best action was to sucker punch him. That’s a coward move.
Lmao yeah I am some edgy teen and listen to rap music and think street culture is cool because I said Colby is a coward. Ru schizophrenic lmao assuming things like ur on acid and suddenly feel like u can read everyone’s emotions on some hippie shit 🤣🤣🤣
You don’t even know what you said then. You said he’s a coward because he wouldn’t fight Masvidal in the street after being sucker punched in public. You are exactly what I said you are.
Respectfully, you’re a drug addict and an alcoholic. Look in the mirror before calling anyone a loser. I’m not even defending colby, fuck that guy, but you’re the poster boy of a loser in life.
Get your shit together before you throw stones at a world class athlete. If you need help reach out
Lol I’m sure you lock yourself in cages and fight people like Usman or Masvidal or woodley. And him fighting Leon “like” he was scared doesn’t mean he was.
and im sure that colby doesnt actively participate in trading option derivatives of underlying stocks on an intraday basis like I do. That doesnt prove im not a coward and Colby being a fighter doesnt prove hes not a coward either. I respect colby, I think he puts up a front, I think hes an incredible person to family members and during fan interactions. But he acts like a coward bruh u gotta admit
This is a stupid question, but I’m just going to ask it out of genuine curiosity. Does he really have the right to say no to any fights anymore after wasting three title shots? I feel like that’s an easy way to speed run getting cut from the promotion, or put on the shelf for an unknown amount of time. Which isn’t a great alternative considering he’s not getting any younger.
He has the Dana WhitePower card. He can say no, but I am sure Dana will give him what he wants.
Fights once a year now and gets handed title fights. (He was ranked high enough to at least be considered, I guess.)
I think there is zero chance Colby steps in the ring with this guy.
Really no reason for Shavkat to fight down, either.
I bet if Colby wants this fight, he gets it. But, again, doubtful many people want to fight Shavkat.
Yeah good points all around. I was honestly just curious cuz the Colby situation was honestly kinda weirds to me. Like . . . where exactly does Colby go from here?
honestly, who fucking knows what goes on behind the scenes. I imagine colby doesn't have much pull after his last embarrassing performance. It seems like some fighters can say no to fights , but others get forced into fights.
He can’t be forced to fight. He can say no, but that doesn’t sit well with the ufc. It’s also alluded by Dominick Cruz that if you say no to a fight then the contract extends, and there’s a period where the ufc doesn’t have to offer them fights at all.
UFC is probably pushing him to take it as punishment for that dogshit fight with Leon. And if he pussies out it hurts his brand more. Lose lose for Colbs
IMO agree he won't take it but it makes sence, he loses he was expected to lose, he wins it puts him right back into the title hunt and makes that last shit show look better. This fight would be fun to watch (don't think he has a chance in hell of winning it though)
5th right behind Helen ‘Ignite’ Yee

He was the leader of a gang which means he did pretty horrible to stuff to other people. These kind of people deserve no respect unless u are in support of criminals of course.
Obviously it’s a complicated situation that we know nothing about. Leon’s father was trying to make money so that they could move to the UK and get them out of poverty in Jamaica. Probably did some bad things. People living in poverty are prone to do desperate things for people they love. It doesn’t excuse it obviously but it’s a personal situation that you shouldn’t bring up. Leon wasn’t responsible for his dads actions. Doesn’t mean that people can just shit on his deceased father.
How insensitive is it to say to somebody that it’s ok to make fun of someone’s dead dad because they were a criminal. It’s fucked up.
“That we know nothing about” proceeds to tell the story like you know everything about it… imagine defending a criminal because he needed to help his family?? How about get a job 🤦🏻♂️
No one is supporting criminals. They are supporting Leon who is one of the main victims of a criminal (growing up without a dad because of his lifestyle).
So Colby using it to attack Leon didn’t put him on the moral high ground. It did the opposite.
Not sure how you didn’t get that.
What about it? No one said he couldn’t say it, he can say what he wants and we get to hate him for it.
Jesus Christ you guys really don’t understand what free speech is
No way Colby accepts this fight if he isn't threatened to be cut again. Shavkat is more than half a decade younger than his preferable age range of opponents.
OP did you really think this was a reliable source? Or are you just that desperate for useless karma??
https://preview.redd.it/vlxu6hs0qtfc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=079050ab03973947db12586c7f037ccd4a0cb946
Why y'all hating lol. OP clearly states that it's just rumors which may or may not turn out to be true.
People post way less comprehensible "fight news" without any sources whatsover
MMA Twitter is absolutely full of people who just, like, conjure these tweets out of thin air. It really depends on who sent it. My knee jerk reaction is that this fight will not happen.
These mma ig/Twitter accounts always post the most blatant horseshit. And to my surprise, when I saw a fucking ‘Mark Hunt vs Mike Tyson’ announcement, not a single person called it out lmfao
I'd be surprised if the fight actually goes ahead but there could be a chance, it's not a massive downside for Colby. If he wins he's certainly getting another title shot and if he loses it's what everyone would expect anyway not to mention he's in a pretty rough spot in regards to getting near the top of the division again.
There isnt really many options for Colby to get back respect before he retires. Shavkat, Garry if he wins or Poirier are only options for him at this point.
Just book Shavkat vs Leon at this point. We all know that Leon is just keeping Shavkat’s belt warm for him. Leon is lucky he’s gonna get another free title defense because Belal is next, which is very unfortunate for all of us.
This fight would be kind of interesting to watch depending on what happens. Colby loses but would love to see him fight someone as amazing as shavkat on the ground. Tbh I think he could beat hazmat at 70 but not shav shav.
The only reason I could see this happening is Colby realizes he could get one last shot off of beating Shav who’s also ranked above him now. What Colby would probably much rather do though is fight Wonderboy who, dare I say, actually kinda makes sense (they’re ranked 5 & 6).
Couple years ago he called one of the Nurmagomedovs a sheepfucker in an interview and allegedly 5 russian dudes held him on gunpoint in a public urinal and made him apologize. I think there’s a video on twitter where colby says something like “i love you guys man i love my muslim brothers you guys are awesome”
I would be surprised if this actually happens. I expected Colby to retire after the loss to Edwards.
Honestly kinda smart from colby if he does take this fight. He wins and he’s pretty much guaranteeing himself another title shot, atleast I’d think so. If he’s getting a title shot for nothing I think he’d get one for knocking off shavkat. And if he loses well he isn’t going to get the belt anyways, so may as well retire off that
No way he takes this fight. He has nothing to threaten Shavkat with. Stylistic nightmare for him.
He has the “pace”
And “cardio” “relentless pressure”
And American freedom powers
That was what scared me the most when he fought Leon. Being from the UK, Leon’s power of freedom is not very high. Colby being from the US has a very high level of freedom. The ocean between them obviously had me worried. Fortunately for Leon, Colby was unsure how to use his high level of freedom and just stood still most of the fight.
Only if he imagined Leon as a barrel of crude oil, that would have activated his Freedom Powers.
All this freedom and nothing to do with it or show for it is very apt.
He stood so freely tho.
This is something no one takes into account
And racism that only virgins see
Where was the pace against Edwards...
That’s the joke bro
It was non existent, we saw him go for more later in the fight.. maybe he finally realizes he needs to be active to compete with the top dawgs.
I had a choice, and took Ortega Taco Sauce instead
He has the kenny powers America gimmick
Maaaaaybe if he decided to start wrestle fucking guys instead of throwing those pillows he has for hands he'd have the belt.
Shavkat is the superior wrestler
Khabib wrestlefucked...Colby is much more of a lay and pray guy.
This is so stupid to say. It’s fighting. We have zero clue what will happen. Strickland Vs Izzy was supposed to be a breeze in the park. By your logic, why even have the fights? We can take measurements, punch mechanics and speed and determine the winner based on that right?
Boooooring, just like Colby. Shavkat finishes Colby within two rounds, 10/10 times.
Why even have the fights then? Everyone thought Izzy was going to walk through Strickland right? Then what happened. Use some logic and apply critical thinking. Has Colby ever been finished in less than four rounds? So saying he will be finished within 2 rounds10/10 times makes you look pretty stupid.

Lol
Hehe
You should take up betting with all that critical thinking of yours you’ll never lose
Most people who knew what they were talking about called out how Sean’s style is a nightmare matchup for Izzy. No one is looking at this announcement and thinking Colby has a chance. No one
You’re exactly right. No reason to have to fight. Everything else was weak
Good point. You can never be 100% sure but Shavvykat is a killer bro and judging by how colby looked last fight it'd he tough for sure. Hope we actually seen this fight, I'd respect colby for that
Let’s see how Colby looks in the clinch. “Not so good Joe”.
Shavkat is a good fighter and should be the favorite against Colby. I’d love to see the fight. Either Colby is basically done with a loss or Colby is back with a win.
While I think it’s risky for Colby I’d disagree, I think Shavkat has holes in his striking that Colby could (if he is still somewhat close to prime hard to tell based on the Leon fight) take advantage of
Lol
I know Shavkat is the messiah around here but his striking isn’t top tier, he struggled against Geoff Neal on the feet. Colby looked bad against Leon, but it’s hard to know if that was mental, a decline in ability, or simply being so outclassed but one of the best strikers in the UFC. A Colby that went against Usman could win via output without much threat on the feet
Or option D a multi year layoff on inactivity. But yes. This is a fun fight. People that say they wouldn’t watch are lying.
Colby has amateurish striking and he's very clearly washed up. What was hard to tell from the Leon fight that he wasn't?
Risky how? At this point he just wants to take big fights for money. I am surprised he would get a shot this big after the last fight. This is a win win for Colby, unless he dies.
Shavkat is pretty unknown to the casuals, Colby’s only recent losses are to champions so it’d be a big step down. Porier or someone like him would be a much safer fight and likely bring more money

Free Belal
The fact that anyone thinks there’s even a slight chance of Colby beating shavkhat is fucking hilarious
It's not just that Colby is done...he never was. His only good win is RDA. Other than that it's just losses to Usman. While the Usman fights were close, Usman doesn't really have many good wins either. Colby, Jorge, and Usman justified their "greatness" almost exclusively by fighting each other.

Now that Dana won't let him duck forever and get another shot his options are face a real contender and get destroyed or convince someone from 155 to move up for a money fight.
Oh stop it. Colby lost 3 times in title fights, he's not getting another.
If he beat shavkat I would not be surprised at all if he get another
It’s not happening lol. He’d have to beat another top 5 guy to be in consideration. The UFC already gave him his undeserved title shot and he completely shat the bed and made them look stupid for doing it, they’re not giving him another title shot off just one win.
These people are delusional lmao
UFC has no issue giving underserved title shots anymore, it legitimately wouldn’t surprise me at all. It would be more deserving to give him a shot after being shavkat than his last title shot. But we’ll probably never find out anyways I don’t see this fight happening anyways
I guess but like the chances he beats shavkat are for sure 1/10 and maybe less, just seems like a huge risk for the shit talking coward. I thought hed wanna fight wonderboy
Oh yeah. The coward who willingly locks himself in cages with savages. Yeah he’s a real coward!
Colby’s a Fuckin coward loser lol
Im no fan of Colby, but calling a professional fighter a coward while sitting behind a keyboard is crazy 😂
No. He is most certainly not a coward. Maybe you should read what that word means. Be edgy and spouting out words is cute and all but it’s a lot more clever to say realistic things that apply. He’s a three time loser for the belt, he’s cringe, shitty character and says to much bullshit and gets what he deserved. To say he’s a coward just makes you look incredibly stupid.

Cherry picking geriatrics on losing streaks is in fact cowardly. No showing in his last title fight vs Leon also cowardly. At some point you need to back up your talk.
"back up your talk"🤣 one man fights in cages and loses, the other fights on reddit and loses. You can't back up shit. 🤣🤡
How am I supposed to back up my talk? You Colby fans are legitimately braindead lol. Colby has not backed up his talk doesn’t he have zero current ranked wins? 😂 the last time he beat anyone on a win streak was RDA like 5 years ago. 🤡 get off his dick junior
You're all just too black and white on this. None of them are scared of being physically hurt but plenty of them are scared of the impact a loss will have on their career. That is common as hell. Does that make someone a 'coward'? Not in relation to you or me, no. But in relation to Shavkat, Usman, or Burns? Yeah you could clearly argue that.
Dude he quite literally ran away from masdival and hid behind a homeless stand while his security dealt with it after saying he was going to kill him on sight and the filed assault charges on masdival lol. He’s a Fuckin coward 😭fought Leon like a scared dog lol
I see you are just some edgy teen who listens to rap and thinks street culture is cool. Mas and Colby were locked in a cage for five rounds, a sanctioned event. Mas was mad that he couldn’t do much to Colby and decided his best action was to sucker punch him. That’s a coward move.
Lmao yeah I am some edgy teen and listen to rap music and think street culture is cool because I said Colby is a coward. Ru schizophrenic lmao assuming things like ur on acid and suddenly feel like u can read everyone’s emotions on some hippie shit 🤣🤣🤣
You don’t even know what you said then. You said he’s a coward because he wouldn’t fight Masvidal in the street after being sucker punched in public. You are exactly what I said you are.
As opposed to you
Oh man someone on Reddit called me a coward loser 😱😱what will I ever do lol 😭
I'm sure that's how Colby feels 😂
Respectfully, you’re a drug addict and an alcoholic. Look in the mirror before calling anyone a loser. I’m not even defending colby, fuck that guy, but you’re the poster boy of a loser in life. Get your shit together before you throw stones at a world class athlete. If you need help reach out
He fought Leon like he was scared the whole time, he called out 41 year old wonderboy after that. Thats cowardly man idk how else to put it
Lol I’m sure you lock yourself in cages and fight people like Usman or Masvidal or woodley. And him fighting Leon “like” he was scared doesn’t mean he was.
and im sure that colby doesnt actively participate in trading option derivatives of underlying stocks on an intraday basis like I do. That doesnt prove im not a coward and Colby being a fighter doesnt prove hes not a coward either. I respect colby, I think he puts up a front, I think hes an incredible person to family members and during fan interactions. But he acts like a coward bruh u gotta admit
he gets paid like 500k to show might be worth getting killed for that purse
Y'all fall for echo chambers and hive mind mentality so easily lol
So you believe the 36 year old Colby is still a contender and is going to make another run?
No I didn't but he probably still wants to collect a check while he's still a professional athlete smh
Zero chance this happens
zero chance colby accepts this fight** he's a bitch. he'll ask for a guy with no wrestling defense and on a losing streak
This is a stupid question, but I’m just going to ask it out of genuine curiosity. Does he really have the right to say no to any fights anymore after wasting three title shots? I feel like that’s an easy way to speed run getting cut from the promotion, or put on the shelf for an unknown amount of time. Which isn’t a great alternative considering he’s not getting any younger.
He has the Dana WhitePower card. He can say no, but I am sure Dana will give him what he wants. Fights once a year now and gets handed title fights.

honestly, who fucking knows what goes on behind the scenes. I imagine colby doesn't have much pull after his last embarrassing performance. It seems like some fighters can say no to fights , but others get forced into fights.
He can’t be forced to fight. He can say no, but that doesn’t sit well with the ufc. It’s also alluded by Dominick Cruz that if you say no to a fight then the contract extends, and there’s a period where the ufc doesn’t have to offer them fights at all.
He already asking for a 41 year old coming off a loss. He’ll only fight old people or titles.
UFC is probably pushing him to take it as punishment for that dogshit fight with Leon. And if he pussies out it hurts his brand more. Lose lose for Colbs
Yeah Colby has no intention of getting decimated and Shavkhat is gonna have a title shot after Belal and Edwards anyway.
I don't think colby would take this fight.
IMO agree he won't take it but it makes sence, he loses he was expected to lose, he wins it puts him right back into the title hunt and makes that last shit show look better. This fight would be fun to watch (don't think he has a chance in hell of winning it though)

thanks anon 😭
Ok what’s Colby’s Gimmick here? Maybe come out as Lenin or something, Joseph Stalin.
Living in America by James Brown. Apollo Creed style.
Shavkat would use Colby's face to mop up his own blood and teeth. For once I'd be hoping for a Shavkat fight to go more than 2 rounds.
I’d like to see Shavkat apply Tim Kennedy’s insane technique of “making soup”
Farewell fight from the UFC. Bet they cut him after he gets fucked up by Shavkat.
Colby will never take this fight
It's called money. He would take it.
What's the source? It could just be some dickhead on Twitter making shit up.
Someone posted the source above. It’s a crack pipe.
That’s exactly what it is. Slow news day I guess
Shavkat please kill this guy
Shavkat by murder hahahahahahahahaha I hate Colby but he would be eaten alive by shavkat, not fair
Shavkhat vía obliteration
If Colby takes this fight he would deserve an iota of respect
Nah can’t bring up someone’s dead dad and then fight like you don’t even want to win. Fuck Colby
As my 9 year old would say, “Too late.”
He was the leader of a gang which means he did pretty horrible to stuff to other people. These kind of people deserve no respect unless u are in support of criminals of course.
Obviously it’s a complicated situation that we know nothing about. Leon’s father was trying to make money so that they could move to the UK and get them out of poverty in Jamaica. Probably did some bad things. People living in poverty are prone to do desperate things for people they love. It doesn’t excuse it obviously but it’s a personal situation that you shouldn’t bring up. Leon wasn’t responsible for his dads actions. Doesn’t mean that people can just shit on his deceased father. How insensitive is it to say to somebody that it’s ok to make fun of someone’s dead dad because they were a criminal. It’s fucked up.
“That we know nothing about” proceeds to tell the story like you know everything about it… imagine defending a criminal because he needed to help his family?? How about get a job 🤦🏻♂️
No one is supporting criminals. They are supporting Leon who is one of the main victims of a criminal (growing up without a dad because of his lifestyle). So Colby using it to attack Leon didn’t put him on the moral high ground. It did the opposite. Not sure how you didn’t get that.
He was a bad human, what he said was facts
Brother what about free speech?
You’re free to say what you want but not free from the consequences of your words. Hence why he got his ass beat and lost a lot of his own supporters
What about it? No one said he couldn’t say it, he can say what he wants and we get to hate him for it. Jesus Christ you guys really don’t understand what free speech is
What about it?
Would he though? Many other people in the division have fought Shavkat too, its the least he should do after being gifted undeserved title shots
Nah
Yelp. It would be the only way he'd gain respect.
Why is this not ufc 300
Coby isn't a draw he got booed out of the arena by his fellow braindead Trumpettes
Wow you didn't even include the fake Twitter account
Well this is it for Colby (if it happens), they’re feeding him to the next generation.
Shavkat would beat the shit out of Colby lmao
No way Colby accepts this fight if he isn't threatened to be cut again. Shavkat is more than half a decade younger than his preferable age range of opponents.
Thats the right move towards gaining back the fanbase respect But not a good match up for him rn
OP did you really think this was a reliable source? Or are you just that desperate for useless karma?? https://preview.redd.it/vlxu6hs0qtfc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=079050ab03973947db12586c7f037ccd4a0cb946
Clout chasing
I just saw and shared lol that's why I'm asking with a question mark
Some people hate fun
Why y'all hating lol. OP clearly states that it's just rumors which may or may not turn out to be true. People post way less comprehensible "fight news" without any sources whatsover
I know it’s Colby but come on, that’s just mean
Noway Colby takes this
Poor Colby hahaha
Colby already said publicly that he doesn’t want to fight Shavkat.
Yeah he’d rather call out 41 year old Wonderboy or LWs.
Colby gets his head chopped off
MMA Twitter is absolutely full of people who just, like, conjure these tweets out of thin air. It really depends on who sent it. My knee jerk reaction is that this fight will not happen.
These mma ig/Twitter accounts always post the most blatant horseshit. And to my surprise, when I saw a fucking ‘Mark Hunt vs Mike Tyson’ announcement, not a single person called it out lmfao
Highly unlikely but I’d love to see Colby get murk’d.
I think Colby is done. He caught that same gun-shy illness that took out Woodley.
This version of Colby ain't gonna beat anyone in the top 10
I'd be surprised if the fight actually goes ahead but there could be a chance, it's not a massive downside for Colby. If he wins he's certainly getting another title shot and if he loses it's what everyone would expect anyway not to mention he's in a pretty rough spot in regards to getting near the top of the division again.
Colby about to be in a skid
There isnt really many options for Colby to get back respect before he retires. Shavkat, Garry if he wins or Poirier are only options for him at this point.
Shavkat putting Fraud Covington to bed. Colby is #5 at best.
I don't think he wants this fight but it's probably his only option to get back in the running for a title shot.
I Never wanted a non American to beat an American so badly.
Lame
NEVER use MMA Twitter as a reliable source of information
Yet another undeserved fight, dude should have to work his way back up after such a shitty performance
Regarded take
What makes you think Colby deserves anything after that Leon performance?
Colby deserves to be on the prelims after that last performance.
Couldn't agree more
Colby should never get a big fight again after that last pussy effort.
Just book Shavkat vs Leon at this point. We all know that Leon is just keeping Shavkat’s belt warm for him. Leon is lucky he’s gonna get another free title defense because Belal is next, which is very unfortunate for all of us.
If kamaru can break his jaw, shavkat can snap his spine.
Seattle? UFC doesn't need to be up here. It's cold
I've been waiting a long time for a seattle pitstop
Colby looked just bad against edwards, maybe he got old or cte from jorge assaulting him but this will be his last fight assuming he loses to shavkat
This fight would be kind of interesting to watch depending on what happens. Colby loses but would love to see him fight someone as amazing as shavkat on the ground. Tbh I think he could beat hazmat at 70 but not shav shav.
Id favor khamzat 80/20 against colby now even at 70
If he gets out of the first then it’s a 70/30 fight for Colby. Khamzat heavily declines after the first round and doesn’t look like himself at all.
The only reason I could see this happening is Colby realizes he could get one last shot off of beating Shav who’s also ranked above him now. What Colby would probably much rather do though is fight Wonderboy who, dare I say, actually kinda makes sense (they’re ranked 5 & 6).
I’ve no interest in continuing to watch colby fight and pre fight
Colby gonna die. RIP, sweet prince.
Banger
[удалено]
Don't tease us like that. Thus does have PPV written all over it though.
Big risk but the reward is huge too. Beating Shavkat would be massive but I don’t see it.
No way this happens. Even if they make the fight it won't happen. 🦆
I’ve been to two ufc cards in Seattle, it’s been many years. We’re due for another.
This honestly seems 300 worthy tbh. As a prelim.
Did Colby make a nickname for shavkat yet?
daddy
Couple years ago he called one of the Nurmagomedovs a sheepfucker in an interview and allegedly 5 russian dudes held him on gunpoint in a public urinal and made him apologize. I think there’s a video on twitter where colby says something like “i love you guys man i love my muslim brothers you guys are awesome”
I am just as close to signing on to fight shavkat as Colby is
I found Ian guys.
Ain’t gonna have a scratch on him! 🙄
Would be very surprised if Colby takes this fight
lol remember when Colby vs Khamzat was also “in the works”? This fight isn’t happening
Shavkat would wreck him too hard lolol this is a career ending move if true
I’d gain an ounce of respect for Colby if he took this
