I am pretty sure if Islam moves up, he still beats Colby.

Colby is overrating himself here a little bit.

Speculation.
I guess you are correct but we may never know.

Pre weight class jumping wolf tickets. That's very forward-looking.

Disagree.

Tom Aspinall fights at his natural weight and is a better fighter than Colby.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

He's so great and brave

LW RDA won 2 rounds against Colby and took him down 3 times

Islam is better everywhere than Colby except cardio

 

[SuperNerd]

he's got a scarf and a steak. It's hard to disagree with the man

These two fight at weight classes above their natural weight class. Colby needs to chill

 

[Joshuaace]

I think he does far less damage to his body cutting weight than most of his contemporaries. But best fighter? NO!

He's not the only one who didn't cut much weight. What about most heavyweight fighters? Or ONE where they changed the divisions and rules?

Fuck off, Colby, you fucking idiot.

 

[CPH]

Everyone is so tired of this guy. I can hear the dejection from every single journo who has to interview him and listen to his inane bullshit. I bet that Colby himself hates this character at this point and will be relieved when Edwards ends his career and sets him free.

 

[Portland8242]

Are there people actually stupid enough to believe that Colby doesn't cut weight?

Must be the same mouth-breathers who believed Chael Sonnen when he said Izzy naturally weighs below the 185 limit.

181 in cage weight is pretty low for WW no?

I used to track these things for a few years, when CA posted fight night weights. Here are some examples.

So yes, if he walks into the cage below 180, then he would probably be in the lower 25% of fighters, along with guys like Diaz, Pettis, and Fialho.
