Guys I'm being offered 23x my moeny on Colby. What do you say, put my retirement funds on it? Could retire to an island I bought in the Bahamas..

Wow. Colby's corner is horrible, stuttering all over the place no emotion or urgency to say he needs to let it go.

I can be talking BS right now. They know him better them I ever will but that corner does not give me confidence in colby at all.

Watch Leon get a KO in round 4 or 5. He's going to take more risks later on

Imagine if this continues and Colby gets a headkick KO in the 5th. Remember Drake bet Leon.

I don't want to jinx it, but we haven't had 1 pause in the action for an eye poke or nut shot?

its almost as if the entire world told dana that giving colby the shot was the most stupid ******* idea possible. Now we get this. Horrific, pathetic matchmaking giving someone a shot simply because he has a character. This is not where the best fight the best like that bald **** claims.

Feels like Colby can't find any openings and his corner wasn't prepared for that
