Will most likely not be alive then, but UFC 1000 could be an interesting event.

Lmao people are not feeling sorry for Colby they are roasting him heavy I've seen some people throw out anemic defenses that it's all an act to promote events, but yeah, there's not many who pity him. Those he earned the ire of obviously don't feel sorry for him. Those finding out after the fact have no reason to pity him. Those who would empathize with his message wouldn't sympathize with him because he humiliated them by proxy. Anyone who may have otherwise felt compassion for him were put off from doing so by his ego and utterly graceless behavior after the fight ended. He's the perfect laughingstock, hubris given flesh.

It is just a big shitbag all in one. You want to use your views to garner yourself some attention, fine. You're not the first nor last to do it and we've seen it with Patrick (Velveteen Dream) do it when he was looking for a gimmick. But people knew it was a gimmick. Colby is on that Cornette fence of living your gimmick. The true you is not too far away from the person you portray and that is scary. You go out there saying racist things talking about you can't pronounce his first name and what has Usman people ever done for this country except take. People were willing to go along with the act if it indeed was an act. But that stunt he pulled leaving the fight and showing no respect and now complaining is a complete turnoff and I would imagine people who gave him the benefit of he's trying to be an entertainer is now threw with him

Oh definitely. If anything it's even more embarrassing since it's not even real. If guy was solely an asshole it'd be bad enough; add to the fact that it's transparently a character and it's just sort of pathetic on all levels. It is real, it’s no gimmick, dude has been that way his whole life. He admitted it's a gimmick that he started because he was about to get fired.

Usman/Masvidal would be a great fight to make now. I'd also book Diaz/Covington just for the Nate's promos on him. That would be the ONE time I'd pull for Diaz.

The "I was about to get released so I started the gimmick" isn't even true either. I think MMA on Point is where I saw a vid that showed he'd already talking the same shit the same way in his fight prior to when he was supposedly going to be cut.
The beauty part of the humiliation is that the public at large doesn't even know or care that he fought well&it was close. All they see is the headline of mouthy fighter of a particular kind got his jaw broken and ran away afterward. That ridicule went FAR beyond fight fans. General public didn't know who he even was before Saturday night&now he's a punchline.
And he brought every bit of that on himself.
Hell, even if he'd shook Usman's hand before leaving and been gracious in defeat he'd have better off.

Like typically if a guy fought through having a broken jaw and came up just short, that'd be a performance that garnered a lot of new fans.
But he's such a douche he couldn't even do that.

And he had even more time to go on social media and say sorry to Usman, I had to leave out the ring but you were the better man tonight congratulations He couldn't even do that

Didn’t see the fight but was nice to see Usman win it. I doubt Covington is going anywhere anytime soon but at least the division can move on for now. Dude’s post-fight reactions did make him look lame as hell though.
