Colby vs LeBron! Give the people what they want!
I'd actually buy that PPV. Colby would ragdoll LeBron, in the octagon or on the street. Pretty easily too.
But in all seriousness you need to have an expert level of gi grappling and overall expertise to survive when you're giving up 100lbs+,12" of reach, and 10" of height. To thrive, you literally need to be 1% of the 99th percentile. Guys like Rener like to say for every 20lbs you add a belt rank, but there's layers and multipliers that go along with it. Current Conor does not have that same pedigree of grappling as Khabib, Usman, Colby, Jones, etc. because that's not who is or what made him great.
