@AxaFin 
not really bc when Cejudo left he was champion. Makes sense for him to fight for a belt. Also Cejudo defeated one of the best UFC Champions of all time. Also he was a double champ. Also he has a gold medal.

Colby's coach giving him striking advice must be one of the worst corner advice he could've gotten. Colby needs a takedown if anything

Might be one of those situations where you find out your opponent is so much better in their footwork and balance that you simply can't find an opening.

Or maybe he's got an undisclosed knee injury.

Low volume, no power, no effort, no pressure, no takedowns? Is this for real? An actual attempt to win the belt?
