Colby brought up shit about Jorge (specifically his relationship to his children and ex wife) But wasn't directly talking about his family. He said he was a deadbeat father (I am a father with only 30/70 split custody) and that should not of bothered him if he wasn't actually a person who didn't spend time with and/or care about his kids.) He also didn't slander Masvidal's ex wife at all, if anything praised her. Gamebred claimed to have let Colby sleep on 'HIS' couch, when his wife paid all the bills and presumably for all the furniture. So Mr. Covington pointed out it was all hers and that Jorge had not actually provided him with what he had claimed.

Well, bucks stop at UFC. Recently UFC banned fighters to bring national flags. A few years ago UFC enforced all fighters to wear uniforms despite of the fact all fighters are deemed independent contractors. UFC could certainly draw lines on trash talks. Yet, it leaves all all doors open on trash talks from degrading comments, fighters religions, ethnic names, fighters family and private matters. There’s only reason for that. UFC came to their conclusion “trash talks” sell, thus good for their business. UFC 272 featured Jorge vs Colby as the main event despite of the fact it was non-title. There it goes !

Dude if you want to limit what fighters can say you’re basically begging for the sport’s popularity to get killed the reason mma and the ufc is as big as it is right now is because of how brash of a personality mcgregor is he literally said in the lead up to the aldo fight that if it was a different time period he would’ve rode into Aldo’s favela on horseback and massacred them and raped their women and that help hype the fight. The ufc definitely needs more hype right now and trashtalk will help that. people are more interested in a fight when two dudes are disrespecting eachother compared to being cordial and respectful

You don't have to be as trashy and disrespectful doing it like Colby does, he's just a shitbag
Facts. The masses (aka the money) love bullshit, so he went on some bullshit and getting paid now.
can blame Dana for his demeanor. it's pathetic that the ufc was going to cut him because he wouldn't trash talk and that he changed his persona to sell fights and now people are disliking him.
@@williamwright1277 colby didn't have to go so far past the level of shit talk that other successful fighters utilize successfully. He could have just played along and made the same money, but he chose to go extra trashy and personal.
@@yodaguy6956 he had to sell fights in order to stay in the ufc so he resorted to the same shit talk McGregor and the rest of the shit talkers.

I don't like the fact that he resorted to that level but that doesn't change his fighting skills.
His success with heel turn is a reflection of our society. Period.
Amen. Too many beta "men" who love drama and don't know how to behave like REAL men.
Floyd did the same thing. People forget that while he was on the come up as "Pretty Boy Floyd" he didn't really talk much, and was a KO artist as well. When he adopted the "Money Mayweather" gimmick, along with a more defensive style of fighting, is when he became a heel, started trash talking, and became the richest fighter of all time.
Not for me. I like it when they keep it respectful and take care of business inside the cage. Like Kabib. But you have a good point.

This is false. UFC would never cut someone who went 7-1. Colby wanted a significant pay increase and the UFC basically said "you're boring, take the deal or leave". Colby being a marketing genius never gives out the details behind why he was going to get cut.

Fighting at the top of any UFC division is incredibly difficult, but I think some people underestimate how difficult it is to be a top ranked fighter AND be a good entertainer, especially when you're not naturally like that. I started out disliking Colby but I can't hate ever since I had that realization myself. Real or not, he's doing something to get people to watch and it seems to work.

“Unless the guy goes over the top and makes fun of my family”…., standup guy colby is haha
Colby brought up shit about Jorge (specifically his relationship to his children and ex wife) But wasn't directly talking about his family. He said he was a deadbeat father (I am a father with only 30/70 split custody) and that should not of bothered him if he wasn't actually a person who didn't spend time with and/or care about his kids.) He also didn't slander Masvidal's ex wife at all, if anything praised her. Gamebred claimed to have let Colby sleep on 'HIS' couch, when his wife paid all the bills and presumably for all the furniture. So Mr. Covington pointed out it was all hers and that Jorge had not actually provided him with what he had claimed.
Basically...analyze and evaluate the facts and situation before actually forming an opinion on anything. And then choose your side.
i think part of what Dustin poirier said about him is right "he has become so attached to his persona that it became him" or something along the line of that

@@n8iveangel26 Quiet snow flake
Lmaoo true
You sound like the kind of guy that wears a tank top in the snow and says “only pussies get cold” lol
You think Colby’s sexy? You fan boys really are gay 😂
Ironic . . .he talking about not liking ppl making fun of the family.
Not ironic - well yes, it is - but understand where the turn is coming from. The man's just trying to provide for himself and his family by competing at the highest level which is where he belongs. The UFC brass' decision making is what's responsible for the irony.
@@shreyyashkpramanik4512 stop sniffing his farts
@@unholylemonpledge9730 Hahaha...have a great day, brother! 😇
He might be self aware that he’s doing that…. He might be contradicting himself to stir up controversy lmao. He might be a grade fn A troll 😛😛😛
Either die a hero or love long enough to see yourself become the villain
He was my neighbor when I lived in Colorado Springs fort Carson
This man is a genius, the UFC was about to give him the boot so he went to acting school. Now he's HUGE.
Not really his last ppv didn’t do well
I love Colby but the irony is crazy here
I love how Colby has become a Pro Wrestling Heel.
2016, his last win against someone who didn’t retire shortly after
Dude is a real life joker. They were literally gonna cut him on a winning streak.
If you dont love Colby you dont love MMA
Marty fake newsman
i don't love boring decision fighters who rely on fake WWE personas to appeal to the casuals.
This was the time when colby left the chat and chaos entered
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Well, bucks stop at UFC. Recently UFC banned fighters to bring national flags. A few years ago UFC enforced all fighters to wear uniforms despite of the fact all fighters are deemed independent contractors. UFC could certainly draw lines on trash talks. Yet, it leaves all all doors open on trash talks from degrading comments, fighters religions, ethnic names, fighters family and private matters. There’s only reason for that. UFC came to their conclusion “trash talks” sell, thus good for their business. UFC 272 featured Jorge vs Colby as the main event despite of the fact it was non-title. There it goes !
Dude if you want to limit what fighters can say you’re basically begging for the sport’s popularity to get killed the reason mma and the ufc is as big as it is right now is because of how brash of a personality mcgregor is he literally said in the lead up to the aldo fight that if it was a different time period he would’ve rode into Aldo’s favela on horseback and massacred them and raped their women and that help hype the fight. The ufc definitely needs more hype right now and trashtalk will help that. people are more interested in a fight when two dudes are disrespecting eachother compared to being cordial and respectful
Religion is not special. Your cult is not special. Fuck your god and fuck your weird pedo cult.
Colby just proved how f*ed up people are. When he was the good guy everybody ignored him. Now, a lot of people hate him, and some love him.
Whittaker is doin it right
@@NobleTenz and there's a reason why Whittaker has to run laps around the division to get a rematch with Izzy and Colby gets it after 1/2 wins. Nobody cares about the nice guy
@@NobleTenz Whittaker could take a shit on someone's porch and they would tell him thank you. Some people are going to be hated no matter what they do. Colby is one of them. That's one reason he became heel too, besides trying to make more money of course. He realized people will hate him no matter what, so he just decided fuck it, I'm going to talk shit about everyone.
Growing up is realising Colby is the good guy
Colby is badass
Bruh people really be praising him like turning heel made him into that big of a draw the man can barely sell tickets by himself and he turned into one of the most cringy fighters in mma, y’all saying that’s worth selling your soul for?
Don't think it was as extreme as selling his soul but to make a living? Yeh.
Meanwhile he doesn't even have more followers then fighters that don't shittalk
nah man, the 8 people that liked your comment are wrong, he does sell tickets
@@ItsameAlex he really doesn't he has 1/33 of the followers khabib has 🤣🤣
@@19382q followers aren't tickets
Is Colby really a nice guy pretending to be an asshole? If being a trump supporter is part of his heel act does he actually dislike trump? Playing a heel trump supporter suggests that trump supporters are bad people. If he was an actual trump supporter would he portray them as bad guys?
Not necessarily.
Yes he is, he openly admits it too, you can find it in interviews. And I think with the Trump stuff, he chose to kinda mix stuff around to make it less obvious or cliche of a character. It grounds the character and gives at least some people a genuine reason to like him, while also being controversial automatically for everyone else. But idk, it is kinda weird he would risk that, guess he just doesn't care about politics too too much irl
He's an actual trump supporter, but it's a also part of his act because it can be seen as controversial to be a trump supporter, hitting 2 birds with 1 stone type of thing.
Colby is a nice guy outside of his character
I like this Colby
I respect the hell out of Colby he’s a good dude but is also willing to take all the risk by hyping shit up knowing should he lose he will lose dearly. He did what he had to and most fighters who pretend to be respectful are really just scared
All of them are scared, genius 🤡. That’s a natural mental response. Who wants to get put to sleep in front of thousands?
@@timothy4011 yes genius but some of them are too scared to go all in because if they lose they lose even more…it takes a certain amount of balls to publicly talk shit before cagefighting a trained fighter on a paper view
It's kinda funny knowing this is how he was before the character and Jorge says he was always in character
Colby the man
To be fair Colby actually had no choice but to turn heel. It's fucking worked brilliantly as well.
i fucking love colby. i don't care what anyone says.
well hes been fighting emotionally but also fighting great
He's always had that smirk, and as the interview goes on I was kinda expecting him to talk trash bout someone and call them nicknames lol.
Woah woah why haven’t we seen more of this reporter.
Colby thinking : "That guy's a genius! I'm gonna use that tactics next time."
he literally turned into what he was explaining to prove the point lol and it did in fact work
A man will do what he has to do to survive and Colby did the right thing
You know something? What is most interesting, which eludes everyone who has commented past thus far ostensibly, is the fact that interviewer is quite comfortable with him physically, such that she is leaning into him. He, on the other hand, leans away, typical of what a man must do, or rather what he has been taught vis-à-vis how to interact with women. No touch, no muss, no fuss, no forwardness. No depravity. Only humility.
Definitely needed that turn
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
hes stairing at that girl like “ i know you want me “ lol
Respect to Colby my n
Colby basically anime foreshadowed his whole career in this interview 😂
