This is a video looking at Colby's last title shot against Leon Edwards and attempting to evaluate the failure and success of his persona over the course of his career.
@@karatekid951 even though what you said it's true, it still takes 2 to tango. That fight was bad and both sucked, and that it is definitely *not* what you expect from a championship fight at that weight class in the UFC of all places. And some might say, "but their skills are so close to each other that they cancel out", but fu*k that, they are at the top of the game and getting paid crazy money to let that happen.They both suck.
Just curious, does anyone have any idea what he's really making? Last time I thought his pay was disclosed i thought it was 500K a fight, not exactly good for life money if he isn't conservative with spending and investments. But yeah honestly I always hope anyone that becomes a star can retire comfortably but I am a little skeptical.
@@michaelturley8222 I highly doubt he's completely dependent on the fight pay. He did so many interviews, had sponsors. He probably made a lot more of that
People lile yall are objectively cringe. He has and still is factually the number one ranked welterweight in the world (champions are not ranked #1 they are above each respective weight class rankings) and its been more than several years where he has ONLY lost to the champion. There is undeniably nothing to be ashamed of when in almost a decade you are the only man standing between the champ and THE ENTIRE REST OF THE DIVISION. Because he lost to usman twice is the ONLY reason why Leon even got the title fight to begin with. I ain't even his fan but i actually watch the fkin sport unlike any casual fan who parrots woman like vitriol against the objectively best fighter in the division after the champion.
Glad Colby is finally getting the hate that he deserves. All those lines he said just to put on the performance he gave against Leon is absolutely embrassing.
Colby played the game the right way for him. Made a lot of money and gained fame, while barely fighting and keeping his health. Most fighters are marks thinking the ufc is based on merit, but like wwe it’s about gaining attention. Colby, Chael, Conor, and O’Malley understood this and got opportunities, title fights, and rich
Ya don't make many, but the ones ya do are all guaranteed bangrr's. And never tried to sell us any fuckin thing. You're a rare breed sir, thank you for your service.
Glad to see you back and still making great videos. A unique and nuanced take on a topic that most people are happy to write off without much thought. Good stuff, looking forward to more as ever
its crazy cause i liked colby alot and now i literally have 0 interest in seeing him ever fight again or have another interview. your video was the final nail in his coffin
You gotta admit that for a guy who was gonna get cut a long time ago he sure has hung around as long as he wanted to. He turned the tables from getting cut to getting a couple of opportunities to become the Champ. You could definitely say that he took control of his life and destiny and who knows, he may get another bite at the cherry yet.
Colby’s story is, for me, a sad one. You have a young talented fighter, who’d been having success in the UFC, and despite that, for some reason, wasn’t selling well. He was told his time in the UFC might be coming to an end. We all know the story. But I believe every person comes to this type of a crossroads in life. It’s when your trying to do something, and the universe asks what your prepared to do to rise higher. And in these situations it’s always a “deal with the devil”. One can choose to push on with humility and integrity, accepting that whatever the outcome, it will be the right one - even if it’s one they didn’t necessarily want. Because they hold their character in higher regard than they hold anything else. Or they can choose to become something they’re not, under the illusion that such a thing will further them in the way they want. If the person chooses the way of ‘character’, it may be the harder choice, but it is always the right choice. We need to trust that sometimes the universe knows better what’s best for us, than we ourselves do. And yet, if we choose the other way, the whole ordeal will be what it is; what we’re seeing with Colby’s case. But in the long run, it’s just this very ordeal that will eventually teach a person- Colby, in this case - the most important thing, which is “why” he should have chosen the way of humility to begin with. He abstained from the humble path because he simply did not understand the value in it. But by the end of his journey- having taken the other path- he will have become enlightened as to just exactly what the value of humility is, because he will have lived the consequences of its absence. In this manner, the universe uses our lives to teach us to grow into better people. I wish him all the best. We all have to go through things like this. We cannot judge others, but give them our compassion. Live your videos, and thanks for this one. 😊
MMW always has a unique perspective, I’m amazed how every time I watch one of his vids, I learn something new about the subject that I didn’t know before.
Nobody hated him for the 7th layer hell comment. It gave everyone content to talk about. They hate him cuz he finally stopped winning and putting on good fights.
I am as fascinated and impressed with the athleticism of professional mma fighters as I am with your beautiful and poetic ability to string words together. You paint a very vivid picture in the heads of your listeners. And I fuhkin love it. Thank you, and congrats on another brilliant piece.
When Colby is not playing his character bit, he genuinely is a good guy. He supports the troops big time, gives back to the kids, loves his country r what it use to be, very respectful when you meet him in person. The bit tho has ran it's course but props to him for it cus he made himself millions of dollars and I can't hate on that.
Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Saw this video dropped...rearranged my scheudle to watch. Love your videos dude. Informative, well edited, clever, and a blast to watch for a filthy casual to an informed committee fan. Never stop.
There's no such money in the world that would make me happy sailing on the seas of no friends, public hatred on me, no respect from anyone. But if it works for Colby or someone else, why not then? Great video still, and glad to see new MMW content! 🙌
My only issue is...does Colby have an receipts about growing up poor? Im thinking lower middle class at best and hes saying the "I grew up poor" because fighters are supposed to say that kind of thing and its misdirection because of the heat from the low blows he took on Leon's family
The biggest thing Colby wanted to avoid is honestly what's kind of started to happen to him. This is the second time in his career that he's trailing towards that land of non-existence. He's obviously terrified of being ignored, and he's willing to say or do anything possible to avoid it. Attention is the most valuable currency in the world, and some people will do anything to get it.
I'm not much of a Colby enjoyer but I'll watch a MMW documentary about him as they always give a good insight into the fighter.Some of the best fight bases documentaries i have seen are on this channel so cheers Mr.Molly
I just love the fact that colby stands in front of his bathroom mirror for weeks rehearsing his grade school insults, and STILL fucks em up LMAO
I honestly pity the guy, and wish him the best:}
He got the money 😂😂😂😂

Colby really went from controversial to just hated by everyone😊
He would've saved a bit of face if he got into a firefight and got KO'd by Edwards. At least he would've gone out on his shield.

@@joshuawalker301 The way Colby talks, the onus was solely on him to bring the fight to Leon, who beat him fairly easily btw.
@@joshuawalker301 if you're a tall fast striker you'll win the fight by just staying on the outside. If you're the wrestler you have to engage.
I was finally starting to like the guy. I was actually rooting for him to defeat Edwards. But he’s just too much, man.
Just when we needed him most he returns.
Just curious, does anyone have any idea what he's really making?
