"I knew my dreams were more important than how I felt" What a powerful quote.
-
50-43 and a soda☠️ Colby always delivers!
-
“Not many people make it out of Oregon”😂😂😂 this guy never fails to disappoint
-
Colby really went from almost cut to one of the most hype fighters fighting for a championship. Beast
-
Dude has heart, chin and cardio for days. If he can get some more power in those punches he would be unstoppable.
-
I’m rooting for Colby to get the belt, I feel like this time is his time.
-
The real Colby. And he's timed this interview perfectly. Well done Colby.
-
This guys work ethic is undeniable. I've NEVER seen a fighter that pressures others fighters the way this guy does. And his story is tells you how hard this guy has worked his whole life to be one of best. I used to think he was annoying but now i respect him as a fighter and a person.
-
Love hearing this side of Colby behind the character, especially his candidness with respect to his upbringing and the shortfalls he's experienced in life. Rare peek behind the curtain of the heel persona.
-
Honestly one of his better interviews felt like he was himself not turning it up for the cameras. Felt the answers were genuine. Great work by Brett Okamoto and ESPNMMA
-
He was trying so hard not to say Com shot 😂 Best behavior on the premises. Respect. Rooting for Colby
-
I know people hate on him, but I’ve been a huge fan of him for years. Hes a natural welterweight. His cardio is out of this world. His wrestling is superb. He’s not the most technical striker but he makes up for it with volume and pressure. Personality aside, the guy can FIGHT. And I think the stars are finally aligned for him. Hoping hoping hoping he captures gold. The press conferences afterwards will be must watch lol
-
Colby went from working at the power plant in Springfield to fighting for the UFC Welterweight Championship of the World. Respect.
-
Bro colby is a high level elite martial artist, wrestler, striker, very underrated and fought a prime usman twice and took him into deep waters and arguably won the rematch. Love this type of fighter
-
He spoke so well. You can tell he was brought up well. Im rooting for him. He deserves to be a champ.
-
Colby threw Masvidal around the cage like an empty tracksuit 😭😭 lol
-
Love Colby. A switch to greater authenticism while still staying in character. Hope he gets it done vs Leon Scott
-
For those of us who grew up in Springfield and went to Thurston you cannot help but be proud of what he has accomplished. He nailed the interview.
-
He’s literally the bad kid from never back down….good dude in the end
-
As someone working 24/7 doing everything in my power to achieve my goals and no one believing in me, I resonate a lot with colby. Always been a fan. Can’t wait to see him get that belt!!!
