If you're Colby, whats your gameplan?

[Russ]

I have a feeling it’s going to be a boring fight, either a take down with minimal damage and holding him there or it happens standing against the cage

I hope I’m wrong

[steak_and_chicken]

Boom, this is spot on.

@Overscore

The game plan is to be less gay than OP

Not possible…I mean what???

Rewatching both of their fights with Usman, Colby did better in every aspect of MMA. Colby outboxed Usman and I would argue in total he won 4 or 5 rounds between the 2 fights.

So that being said Colby can stand with Jorge for a certain amount of time. Be careful with his kicks. Use your boxing to set up big take downs.

Grind him out beat his ass fire him out. Submit him in the later rounds. Make him physically give up and tap out for everyone to see. Then call up Trump after the fight and drop some MAGA bombs on the libtards of the world

I think you’re my favorite poster on here lol

@Nick_Diaz_Army

The only advantage Jorge has is he’s still training with the team that they both use to train with. Colby is the one with the new team

So Jorge knows Colby. His team knows Colby. Colby’s team does not know Jorge’s game like that.

I still believe Colby wins it though rather simply

Unless Colby comes with new skills from his new gym…

[grapplemark]

100% this. He and Usman are far and away the best in this division. Two incredibly well-rounded fighters.

Yes only rednecks like Masvidal unlike inbreds like your parents.

[Ministry_of_Truth]

I think this is a bad fight for Masvidal and I’m a little surprised to see many here thinking he will have his way with Colby.

Colby has more tools and brings an intensity/pace/versatility that’s very hard to deal with. The only guy who has been able to do so was Usman, and we all saw how the last Usman vs Masvidal fight went. I know, MMA math, but still worthy for comparison-sake.

Masvidal most certainly could win via KO, but it seems much more likely that Colby will outpace him and use his more rounded skillset to work Masvidal to either a decision or late stoppage.

To answer OP’s question: Colby will use his typical style for anyone not named Usman, and mixing up grappling with strikes at volume. That will be enough to eventually break Masvidal.

are we pretending that Colby isnt gonna go straight for a takedown for 25 minutes?

@Don_J

are we pretending that Colby isnt gonna go straight for a takedown for 25 minutes?

i alluded to that a few posts above

[BoosnGhouls]

Anything Jorge can do Colby can do better

[BoosnGhouls]

Are we pretending like Jorge is going to out strike Colby? Colby will mix in a little bit of wrestling and dominate Jorge for 25 minutes.
Unanimous decision Covington.

[Erik_Apple]

I like Jorge
But if u think he can stop the takedowns ill be happy to bet

[ShanTheMan]

Bo Nickal saying Colby doesnt have great wrestling technique but a good pace is a bit odd. From Bo’s perspective it makes sense,but Colby was ranked like #5 in the country in his weightclass. He’d buttrape any of the guys who used to ragdoll me.

[BZtown10]

Its gonna look like the maia vs colby fight.

[Don_J]

Probably more like the Colby v Lawler fight.
Amazingly Colby set a record for strikes landed but Lawler looked like he hardly got touched. Just gassed out trying to keep his leg from getting molested

[If_it_aint_Dutch_it_aint_much]

Colby will push Masvidal against the cage and tire him out. He will get an occasional takedown but main thing will be cage fighting and go for finish later in the fight.

[FedorFerguson]

Same gameplan as his fight with Robbie.

@ShanTheMan

All due respect to Bo Nickal, but what’s his MMA record again? Sport wrestling and wrestling in MMA aren’t exactly the same, and without specifics, who knows exactly what he was referring to.
