Colby would have KO’d Khamzat at 170.

[B-Level]

Imagine gassed boy Khamzat trying to weather Colby’s pace in rounds 2-5.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

I don't think Colby has the power to ko Khamzat
He's only had 4 ko out of 18 wins
Definitely has better cardio though

 

[chinarice]

Colby isn't as strong as Usman nor have a fraction of the TDD. He also has a fraction of Usman's power. Colby couldn't take Usman down and Usman ran into a brick wall trying to take Khamzat down

Khamzat dominates Colby bad

Khamzat dominates Colby bad

Khamzat has no gas or confidence after 5 minutes

Better hope he can choke Colby in round 1

 

[OldBoy91]

No. At most he would pitter patter and drown Khamzat with sheer volume. If he had enough left after surviving the initial onslaught.

He could win all the late rounds and win a decision, but a finish, let alone a KO? Not seeing it.

 

[Tweak896]

Colby probably has been sent this fight 100x in the background at 170 when Khamzat competed. It's just embarrassing to even mention this matchup now.

 

[CryptoCreep33]

Colby would've gotten finished halfway through the 2nd round

this + imagine Colby not getting smashed while underneath Khamzat. Unlike Kamaru he doesn't survive the 1st.

 

[Givvee]

Depends, Colby could get taken down and strangled in the first, or he could scramble off the bottom a couple of times and maybe tire Chimaev out a bit? Khamzat has power though.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Colby should defend his belt at 170 and let khamzat compete at 185

Completely agree. He's not knocking him out, but I could def see him wearing him out

He actually has 0 ko wins but is credited with 4 tko wins 2 of which are due to injury, 1 is due to submission to punches, 1 is just a straight tko so all in all he literally has 1 real tko win and no kos ever.

Most people favored Khamzat over Colby, it's sort of a nightmare matchup.

this exacly

Or just hold up against Colby's pace which with lack of power and TDs, I don't see being much of an issue. Colby also has less striking defense than Usman meaning Khamzat will be able to hit him more.

He'd probably 10-8 Colby in the 1st round if he didn't finish him.

Khamzat inflicted next to zero damage when he rode Usmans back for a round. Colby essentially just has to train RNC defense and hand fighting for the entire training camp, to survive the first round.

did Kamaru even have a scratch or bruise after the fight?

 

[mjfan23]

One guy is pillow fisted (Colby) the other guy is undefeated throughout his life and just Son’d the guy Colby couldn’t beat twice

 

[Huligani]

Colby is perhaps the most pillow fisted male UFC fighter of all time, he's never going to KO anyone.

 

[DarthChen731]

Has Colby ever KOd anybody

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I know he's tkos some people but I don't think he's KOed anyone.
