If Colby can't get a takedown then this is going to be a long fight. Or maybe short if Buckley gets the finish

Finally get's a takedown. Lets see if he actually does anything.

Hell baby
dominant performance by Buckley

Another big night for me. Had both Swanson and Jacoby as dogs with a bunch of parlay centered around Alvarez and Lima

Crawling out the of the abyss

Can’t wait for Colby to make an excuse despite being absolutely dummied.
I mean he definitely has some room for making excuses. He got absolutely dominated in the 1st, then made slight improvements in the 2nd and 3rd. He's just going to say that he's a slow starter and he was going to continue improving in the 4th and 5th and win the fight. He can also claim that he took it in short notice as a favour to UFC and wasn't prepared (company man).

If he was smart he'd also say that the cut, which ended the fight, was caused by the corner of a poorly designed glove on a takedown attempt, not a legitimate strike and the fight should be ruled a no contest.

Obviously that's not what I, or anyone else here saw. We saw a 36 year old at the tail end of his career getting molly whopped for the better part of 15 minutes. I'm just saying he definitely has a few ways to frame the fight.

Just a fact brother we all should be disappointed we didn't get to see if Buckley would be able to KO him or if he'd end up gassing
The injury was a result of him getting absolutely bombed on, we saw the only way that fight was going to go. Like I said early in the thread there is too much of a physicality gap between the two for a guy like Colby to be successful with him. Colby would fight at LW before he fought at MW and Buckley was a MW. Strength gap too much for technical prowess to overcome

Colby is done fighting in the top 10 of the welterweight division if he knows what’s best for his long term health

If Colby can't get a takedown then this is going to be a long fight. Or maybe short if Buckley gets the finish

Finally get's a takedown. Lets see if he actually does anything.
All he can do is lay n pray when he’s not fighting lightweights past their prime. He made his career off of beating washed up legends, now it’s time for some guys to return the favor
