Also, who was the fatty trying to get at Colby?

Ali now saying Usman won’t take the Colby fight after the altercation and that he will fight Askren

Wow

Ali makes Colby look like a sympathetic character. At least Colby is acting, whether you enjoy the schtick and think it's indirectly harmful in a minor way. Ali is a legit scumbag. He apparently threatened to track Colby down and literally shoot him. I actually believe him given Ali's track record. Thankfully it's not Ali's decision who Usman faces as champion, although he has an unfortunate amount of pull with the UFC because of going to bat business-wise (possibly geopolitically too) for them in the past.

Guys are such idiots for wanting to fight outside the cage when you can make millions by fighting inside of it. What a bunch of goons. Colby is scum, but at least he has that part of it right.

This **** is getting rediculous. Ali’s team has now been a part of two attacks. Ban his ass. It’s pathetic, he’s a piece of garbage.
Colby is a douche but these two are literally fighting next, let them fight there.

Ali is trash. How many fights has he been in or instigated? Hell he and Usman beat up fans at WSOF. Ali tried to fight Jimmie Rivera backstage once. Hell he still tweets that the Conor thing isn't over and he wants revenge for that whole thing. Oddly enough he's never been in a confrontation when he wasn't standing behind Usman or Khabib or whoever. Just a classic "you're lucky they're holding me back!" type of guy.

It's going to be funny when someone swats that twerp like a fly.

Hate Ali. He's so scummy. Isn't a manager suppose to manage the fighters and keep them safe from themselves? This guy goes out there to not just keep his fighters away from BS scuffles but he actively instigates and gets into it. Very much a classic "hold me back" guy. Best part of that whole exchange was Coby saying “You’re not even a fighter!”

God, I'd hope guys getting PPV points would at least get hundreds of thousands but who knows.

https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/3/5/18250836/morning-report-colby-covington-details-what-happened-in-las-vegas-scuffle-with-kamaru-usman

“I was staying over at the dump, the Palms, and I’m waiting in the buffet line,” Covington detailed. “I’m just trying to get some crab legs. Can’t the man get some crab legs? Can the man, the champ, get some crab legs in peace? All of a sudden low-energy Marty comes, that terrorist rat Ali comes and some other Sasquatch and they start pushing and swinging and start putting innocent kids’ lives in danger and a pregnant lady. There’s a pregnant lady, and she’s screaming, ‘I’m pregnant, stop this!’ and Ali is still pushing, trying to make a scene, Usman is still trying to scream at me, ‘I’m going to get you!’ and his little Sasquatch is throwing punches at my friend and trying to punch me. It’s a complete joke. I can’t believe that they allow that in Vegas. Just a bunch of filthy animals.

. . . Ali tried to swing at me, but I’ve got cat-like reflexes, so obviously he’s not going to hit me. He’s slow as a f*cking turtle. . . You’ve got Ali acting like he’s a fighter and I’m like, ‘Chill out, dude, you’re not even a fighter. Maybe you’re 1-15 as a fighter but you’re not a real fighter.’ Marty should be on his little victory tour of winning his number one contendership fight but he’s getting all hostile.”

^^ The funniest part about that is that COLBY of all people was banned from the Palms for that episode LOL.

Ya, that's nuts. Usman, Ali and the big turd were pressing the action and Ali and Turd actually swung. There was a pregnant lady and kids around. The UFC never fails to protect who they want to protect.

One of my least favorite times in MMA is directly after a PPV when I'm itching to know match ups.

Colby isn’t funny or clever enough for this shtick.

You mean constant references to "porn star stamina" or "soy boys" aren't witty?

Low energy Marty is somewhat funny to me, I'll give him that, but that's it.

Well he stole the Marty thing from Askren, so...half credit at most.

How does he still get fights, this is some Artem level nonsense.
It's not like Penn could go to another organization and be a draw either.

BJ's a legend. I don't think it's a question of whether or not he deserves to fight. Especially on the prelims. He just shouldn't fight.
