Some dudes getting all up in their feelings over fight promotion lol!

Colby didn’t do or say anything worse than dozens of other fighters have done or said in the past… including the likes of Conor McGregor and oh yea… Mike f’n Tyson…..

It’s the fight game. Either get over it and boo (or cheer) the hell out of him… or maybe this sport isn’t for you.

It's got him a third title shot, so obviously it's working if they keep putting him at the top of the card.

Gotta win one of them though or he'll just be seen as a sideshow.

Colby's entire act is just that. It's a work.

This is why ufc is so much better than any pro wrestling promotion in years. The fighters learned from the old time heels but mixed it with real fights.

It's all part of the show.

Yep. Love it. And if I’m being honest, even if some/most of it is an act, it’s way more refreshing than the generic, PC interviews the nfl and nba players give…

It's child's play compared to some of the stuff Muhammed Ali said to my favorite of all time Joe Frazier.

Don’t act like there isn’t tragedy in your life that would be off limits for someone to talk about. And if there isn’t, there will be. I don’t think anyone is “up in their feelings” for being bothered that someone’s dead father was brought up and talked about as being in hell.

I enjoy Colby’s act, enjoy colorful promotion and don’t want any less of it. That was uncalled for.

Colby’s get up was funny during the press conference but the shite about Leon’s dad was a bit much

Watching Colby stumble over his scripted lines during the weigh in was pretty funny

It’s like his brain had a glitch

I mean it wasn't just fans. A lot of fighters thought it went too far too. Sean Strickland of all people thought it crossed the line.

Honestly you have to give colby alot of props for what he has accomplished. Dude is not a very exciting fighter but has been able to parlay his BS into 3 title shots. He went from being a nobody to having trump coming to his fights. He isnt a natural speaker like mcgregor but has still been able to create this persona and what he has done has been amazing to watch as a fan of the “fight” game.

People should probably research Leon’s dad. He was from all accounts a POS

Mates whats a good wager to make on MAGA Colby? If he wins is it likelier to be quick or go the distance?

Would just take the money line. Also, he’s a slight dog, so you could take two wagers and still profit overall (if he wins of course)..

1. Covington Money Line +135
2. Covington to win via decision +240
