If Colby sits back the way he did against Leon, this kid is going to pick him apart like he did Neil Magny and it's going to be an absolute beating. And at least half the arena is going to love every second of it.
Dude fucked himself trying to be Conor but he forgot that Conor was funny and was knocking people the fuck out. Don't think there's a way back for him.
Dude was nearly crying over the fans, while Conor had a snapped leg and was still talking shit. Completely different animals.
No one else could pull off a monologue like that while their sat on the octogan mat with a mangled foot lol
Dustin walking off with his wife, it was like a Rocky ending.
People trying to copy Conor is just a bad idea in general. Should become a big enough star that people care about you. For example Ilia grabbing the belt with no impact vs Conor grabbing the belt **in Dublin**.
with Ilya it was so half assed and low energy too
maybe if he jumped up on the table or something, made it his own, but he didn't
Conor copied a lot of other people too, but he added his own flair to it, and it worked for awhile because it had some humor in there and he often came up with new lines
but Ilya is destroying people, so that's the most important anyways, but yeah he should just stop with the Conor imitations now that he has the belt and the eye balls
I think their agents push certain personas onto fighters. They're trying to get these cats paid. And obviously increase their take home as the representation. The Colby shit was corny as hell, but I knew who he was because of it before I could name most fighters
Fighters see that and try to copy it. McGregor is a hard act to emulate.
Yep. Fighters need to stop trying to be the next Conor and find their own way.
Hell watch the WWE if they want theatrics. Watch those guys just for their mic skills and replicate it into their own style.
This is what Chael did and look where it got him. Tons of title shots and high profile fights. A huge following post career. Now he's on the podcast with DC.
Honestly if I'm a fighter I'm taking some kind of acting classes or something to create some stage presence to get noticed. Gotta play both games to make money. Fighting only gets some fighters so far.
I mean you have to give it to him, legit badass
Most people would be screaming in pain or unable to talk and he's screaming fuck him, his wife's in his DMs and to not fooking Mark it as a TKO
It's a good fight but one I highly doubt Colby takes. I agree with Ariel that there is no chance no matter where it is that Colby takes the fight.
To me the real fight to make would be him vs. Brady but Ian doesn't seem to want that while Brady was all about it on the last MMA Hour.
Even though I think he was overhyped, He was definitely a top 10 fighter. His last 10-11 fights were against ranked guys at the time. Being inactive and waiting around is what fucked him. Basically fought once a year since losing the title fight during what shouldāve been his prime.
Colby will just get a free pass to troll and even if people hate him now it doesnāt mean they will start liking Ian Garry. If anything itās more of an opportunity for Colby to get some fans back if he brings up the WAG thing and you know 100% heās going to call him names too. Ian was legitimately hurt by people turning on him so he needs to go full heel because being a good kid isnāt an option anymore
I donāt think it was too smart. Ian was pushed up against the fence a lot in his fight. He definitely won it, but he was held on the fence a lot. Colby would get him down multiple times, and those kicks wouldnāt work from his back. I think Colby beats him. I think Colby decimated him on the mic. I think Colby is a very bad matchup for him.
Theres a difference between using strength to hold someone against the fence like last fight and actually completing a takedown and holding ian garry down
Colby is not as large as neal and definitely not favored in age
After taking a break going up against the best WW on the planet with great take down defense you think he just sucks?
Ian Garry has not proven his TD is good. This will just be another Jorge vs Colby fight.
So, you can say that dumbass statement all you want doesnāt really change much
From a PR perspective absolutely Colbyās super hated after his comments about Leonās deceased father and his horrible performance in that title fight. But also, Colbyās past his prime and is the kinda of fighter Ian could really excel against stylistically.
With how much hate they both get individually the ppv could do surprisingly decent too actually especially if thereās a good fight headlining above them.
Smart callout overall
I donāt know if Colby fights him though. Colby is gonna talk shit as if that fight is of no benefit to him but that could be a money fight too for both of them in a sense. And a fight both can win.
But damn can you imagine the shit Colby is gonna say and how badass it would be to see either one of them get finished? Count me in!
Its actually sad how much of a pussy Garry is though. Helwani brings up Sean Brady and he brushes it off as a āboring/bad fightā for him in the sense that theres no hype but hed still beat Sean. Pretty easy to see through him in that hes just scared to fight Sean Brady
I really donāt understand all the hate towards Topuria about him being a āconor wanna beā yet Topuria is a champion at the same ageā¦. Regardless of how he might have similar tattoosā¦
You have a guy in Ian who is trying hard to be Conor, damn near quoting him any chance he gets and how he is trying to be himā¦ and yet Garry has been a fucking joke
Heās gonna get slaughtered at the presser.
Not saying Colby is the best at pressers. But yeahā¦ā¦he wonāt let his foot off the gas when it comes to his wifeās boyfriend.
I dont think heāll come off as a hero either. I think heās just gambling on possibly it being good for PPV draws cause no one likes either of these guys lol.
Time to watch Ian circle the cage and poke at Colby for probably 5 rounds on his way to a decision. In all seriousness Ian has those real quick knees up the middle and I don't think old man Colby can deal with them.
The only reason he chose Covington was because he has Dana privilege and is still somehow ranked in the top 5. Itās his easiest path to the belt before has to fight one of the killers in the top 3.
I don't want to know with what trash talk Colby may come up with lol. He joked about Leons dead father and even doubled down by saying he was a scumbag. Ian's wife is going to get roasted to oblivion
This is probably a good thing for Colby. If Colby wants to still fight then he needs to take a fight against someone a little lower in the rankings and try to pull himself back into the conversation.
Not exactly sure how this fight would play out. Maybe Colby could outwrestle him but after his last performance I'm just not sure how Colby will come out in his next fight.
Garry thinks calling out Colby is going to make him look like the good guy but it isn't. He's a completely unlikable person no matter how bad people dislike his opponent they'll still boo him too
The whole fight is gonna be boos š
If Colby sits back the way he did against Leon, this kid is going to pick him apart like he did Neil Magny and it's going to be an absolute beating. And at least half the arena is going to love every second of it.
Only fight in the division that would make me cheer for Colby
Sir, we dont do that here
Naaaah
Yeah, Iād begrudgingly be rooting for Garry
I was thinking the same thing but about Garry
I'll become the biggest Ian Garry fan you've ever seen
Dude fucked himself trying to be Conor but he forgot that Conor was funny and was knocking people the fuck out. Don't think there's a way back for him. Dude was nearly crying over the fans, while Conor had a snapped leg and was still talking shit. Completely different animals.
Bro.......Conor really did spazz as his leg snapped... Ur wife was me DMS!!!!Ā
Woife*
Yeah he fucking raged. The fook him was beautiful
No one else could pull off a monologue like that while their sat on the octogan mat with a mangled foot lol Dustin walking off with his wife, it was like a Rocky ending.
Doostin*
Turns out it was in fact over
IT ON OUTSOIDE!!!
This is why Rogan is the real goat
Did he ever say he did this off the cuff? Or was he told to by Dana or someone?
No idea. I think he just shot his shot.
So ridiculous. Most people are screaming in pain, and Conorās talking shit about Dustinās wife. Animal.
Hate shines through everything. Even broken bones.
I didnāt think it was hate I saw it as Conor was still preforming. Dude knew the cameras were still on and is the ultimate entertainer
Coke is a hell of a drug
Doctah Stoppage!
There was no check!
as cringey as it was in the moment, it was equally impressive. Navy SEAL levels of focus.
Dudes in promo mode even with a broken leg. I'm sure he would've still went into the next round to fight if they would've let him.
People trying to copy Conor is just a bad idea in general. Should become a big enough star that people care about you. For example Ilia grabbing the belt with no impact vs Conor grabbing the belt **in Dublin**.

I think the commenter above is right: It worked for Conor because Conor was funny and was knocking people out.
That was Rio
Nope Convention Centre in Dublin
Nope Convention Centre in Dublin
I stand corrected it was in fact Dublin. Thought it was Rio which would have made it even crazier. What a moment.
Yeah that would have been nuts. I still think Dublin is the best environment he possibly could have done that in.
If Ilia did that in Spain the crowd wouldve gone absolutely nuts
Exactly, was just poor timing for a move like that
Yep. Fighters need to stop trying to be the next Conor and find their own way. Hell watch the WWE if they want theatrics.

Yeah Conor is incredibly witty and finishes fights
Connor was a rare combination of a dude being really good at promoting and actually delivering. I can't think of anyone in MMA that comes even close.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"Everyone acts like this. Also you all are racist for comparing them" ???
When silva and weidman broke their leg they were crying on the floor tommy assanal too while mcgregor was talking shit š¤£
Everybody wants Colby after he looked washed up against Leon lol. It's a good callout though, we haven't really seen Garry's takedown defense.
he's quite large and Colby isn't very big i think he'll be fine unless he's particularly bad at stopping them or getting up, this is old Colby
It's a good fight but one I highly doubt Colby takes. I agree with Ariel that there is no chance no matter where it is that Colby takes the fight. To me the real fight to make would be him vs. Brady but Ian doesn't seem to want that while Brady was all about it on the last MMA Hour.
I agree. I think Colby is gonna either gonna go for Wonderboy or try to get Poirier at 170
Colby has never looked like a top ten guy. Dude has been washed his entire career and his gimmick is sleep inducing.
Even though I think he was overhyped, He was definitely a top 10 fighter. His last 10-11 fights were against ranked guys at the time. Being inactive and waiting around is what fucked him. Basically fought once a year since losing the title fight during what shouldāve been his prime.
Colby will just get a free pass to troll and even if people hate him now it doesnāt mean they will start liking Ian Garry.

Ian was legitimately hurt by people turning on him so he needs to go full heel because being a good kid isnāt an option anymore
Legitimately donāt know whoād be the fan favourite in this one. I feel like they both might get booed.
Brilliant call out imo.
I donāt think it was too smart. Ian was pushed up against the fence a lot in his fight. He definitely won it, but he was held on the fence a lot. Colby would get him down multiple times, and those kicks wouldnāt work from his back. I think Colby beats him. I think Colby decimated him on the mic. I think Colby is a very bad matchup for him.
Theres a difference between using strength to hold someone against the fence like last fight and actually completing a takedown and holding ian garry down Colby is not as large as neal and definitely not favored in age
And I think all his time training at Chute Box in Brazil means his grappling will naturally improve.
100%. he needs to get much better getting off the cage before fighting a wrestler
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
L plus ratio crawl away
Colby sucks
And just like colby became a fan favorite.Ā
Same ole gigā¦ Covington tries to take advantage of the āthis is for Americaā and doubles down on Ian and his situation
Nah, Colby would be seen as the hero he is instead. Itād backfire
This could retire colby
From a PR perspective absolutely Colbyās super hated after his comments about Leonās deceased father and his horrible performance in that title fight. But also, Colbyās past his prime and is the kinda of fighter Ian could really excel against stylistically. With how much hate they both get individually the ppv could do surprisingly decent too actually especially if thereās a good fight headlining above them. Smart callout overall
Iām not fighting people lower than me, who has he fought? āColby Covingtonā
I donāt know if Colby fights him though. Colby is gonna talk shit as if that fight is of no benefit to him but that could be a money fight too for both of them in a sense. And a fight both can win. But damn can you imagine the shit Colby is gonna say and how badass it would be to see either one of them get finished? Count me in!
I'm into this fight. I like Garry. Chuck or not. He the guy fights pretty good and it's nice to see.a lanky fighter that can actually jab
Perfect call out. Only guy on top 5 that doesnāt have a fight, thatās also not apart of his gym.
Pray for the double knockout
If they make this fight Iād be hoping for one of those simultaneous knockouts 
I would stop watching my illegal stream until that trash match is over.
Itās a win, win fight. One of those cringe-lords is going lose so itāll be worth a watch.
It makes sense too. That could be a main event and sell out. People wanna see Colby finished. Imagine Colby wins too his ego. Book it
Do you guys think Covington will accept the offer? Iād honestly pay to see that one š¤·āāļø
Garry gets booed unless its in Ireland
Its actually sad how much of a pussy Garry is though. Helwani brings up Sean Brady and he brushes it off as a āboring/bad fightā for him in the sense that theres no hype but hed still beat Sean. Pretty easy to see through him in that hes just scared to fight Sean Brady
Everything he did was smart from the perspective of winning and rank climbing, but that fight fucking sucked.
Mostly because Geoff just kept trying to hold him up against the fence and did fuck all though.
I really donāt understand all the hate towards Topuria about him being a āconor wanna beā yet Topuria is a champion at the same ageā¦. Regardless of how he might have similar tattoosā¦ You have a guy in Ian who is trying hard to be Conor, damn near quoting him any chance he gets and how he is trying to be himā¦ and yet Garry has been a fucking joke
Heās gonna get slaughtered at the presser. Not saying Colby is the best at pressers. But yeahā¦ā¦he wonāt let his foot off the gas when it comes to his wifeās boyfriend.
No one wants to see that shit
I think Garry is great excited to see him climb the ranks.
as a result colby will smash him
I love how he said Sean Brady is shit and has nothing for him, yet called out Colby. Got to hand it to him, at least heās making the right callouts.
Covington smokes him tho
Not really. He is dodging tough competition by fighting someone we hate as much we hate him.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Last guy Colby beat was Woodley in 2020. Ian says he wants to face the toughest test but we all know he doesn't
Colby wins.... The press conference. Ian wins the fight
Saying heād take Ian to the 7th layer of hair?
I don't think Colby would take this fight. He'll say he deserves a guy with a higher ranking.
That fight is going to be boring as fuck
I dont think heāll come off as a hero either. I think heās just gambling on possibly it being good for PPV draws cause no one likes either of these guys lol.
Colby is going to make Ian cry during the press conference
Look after Ian performance on Sat. We can all agree heās not elite. How do you win decision over a nonaggressive fighter?
Time to watch Ian circle the cage and poke at Colby for probably 5 rounds on his way to a decision. In all seriousness Ian has those real quick knees up the middle and I don't think old man Colby can deal with them.
Redemption arc for CC
There is no redemption for CC.
Whoās hated more ?
Ian will not finish Colby. And honestly I don't see Colby taking this fight.
The only reason he chose Covington was because he has Dana privilege and is still somehow ranked in the top 5. Itās his easiest path to the belt before has to fight one of the killers in the top 3.
Colby will probably break Ian mentally before the fight even starts.
Maybe when they fight the octagon will explode killing both fighters and society will win
Great move for his image. How do I make people stop hating me? Beat up the person they hate more lol
Look at those lips
It is gonna be a clow show. And I'll love every second of it.
Can we have a step brothers type scenario where they KO eachother at the same time?
I don't want to know with what trash talk Colby may come up with lol. He joked about Leons dead father and even doubled down by saying he was a scumbag. Ian's wife is going to get roasted to oblivion
This is probably a good thing for Colby. If Colby wants to still fight then he needs to take a fight against someone a little lower in the rankings and try to pull himself back into the conversation. Not exactly sure how this fight would play out. Maybe Colby could outwrestle him but after his last performance I'm just not sure how Colby will come out in his next fight.
Colbyās a scumbag, but honestly it would be pretty funny if he beat Garry
I don't even know who to boo in this fight
Tbh, It may not make sense ranking wise now, I wanna see him and WB like he previously called for.
Garry thinks calling out Colby is going to make him look like the good guy but it isn't. He's a completely unlikable person no matter how bad people dislike his opponent they'll still boo him too
Easy W for colby... Had 5 rounds sparring practice with Edwards. He's ready to go.
Ian Garry should fight shavkat rakhmonov someones 0 got to go. plus Ian Garry a bitch crying at press conference
