Come on now... how can you bring the G.O.A.T of MMA wrestling into it.. that is so unfair
I’m sure Nathan Coy was either a sparring partner or a coach for Colby.
I think Woodley still has the power. He looked shot in both Thompson fights, and was still very dangerous.. I know it’s a different type of cardio grappling v striking.. I don’t even think it would get to that point in all honestly, if I had to predict I would say RD 1/2 KO/TKO for Woodley.
If Colby can’t get the takedown he is screwed, Maia was lighting him up, it would take Tyron one shot to put Colby down. I think the fight would play out as Colby backing Tyron up against the fence, then initiating the takedown with Tyron fighting position and then Colby would realise he ****ed up lol.
I’d rather see Usman vs Covington, RDA vs Woodley, Till vs Wonderboy and Masvidal vs Ponz. These are the match ups to make, if Covington beats Usman then he could possibly talk himself into a fight with either RDA or Tyron, since he’s wanted them both for ages.
I don’t know about you but I’m way more interested in seeing who’s the superior wrestler/grappler between Usman and Covington than a fight between Colby and Woodley.

Here's the thing... I'm partly saying this because I've heard things from credible people.
One of them is Colby himself. Whether you think he's exaggerating about putting it on Tyron in sparring is another thing but has Tyron denied it? Tyron is ducking Colby imo. I'm not saying he's 'scared' or whatever but he'd rather avoid fighting him. The fight made sense at the time. Colby had attention. People wanted to see him get his *** beat. If it was such an easy fight... Tyron would have taken it. He'd be better off taking it than the RDA fight if it was easy.
I think it's quite obvious that Colby is as confident as he is for a reason. He knows something that a lot of people don't.
GenghisCon (a filmmaker who was situated at ATT for a long time) said that people would be surprised if they watched the different sparring footage he had of Tyron and Colby.
A guy who trained at ATT also told me how easily Colby would work guys in the gym all the time. Masvidal and Lawler included.
You don't have to believe me or these people about these things but I and these people have no reason to lie.
Tyron has a tendency to go into defensive mode and not do enough to keep a guy off him when someone initiates grappling with him. It's quite easy to force him to fight a defensive fight in general. I think Colby can exploit that and then some.
Again, I have no idea what would happen in this fight. I just think it's a far way away from being obvious.
I'd also rather see Usman and Colby fight Woodley than fight each other, personally. I don't really mind though. All of the fights are interesting. A bit like Khabib/Conor/Tony in a way.
