2 of his last 3 fights were title fights and he lost them both. He doesn't want to fight anyone he isn't confident he will win against unless it's a title fight. Go fight one of those killers like Khamzat or go back into hiding. He's the real king of cringe!

Colby is as entertaining as can get we can criticise him for ducking fights but how many other fighters do that in different divisions. He's smart and that's how he is able to earn these kinda title shots. Plus he will give the most hype in the division now that Khamzat will probably be fighting in Middleweight.
Colby, the true running man. Won’t fight Chimaev or any new contenders. He better not get a title shot until he beats 2 or 3 of them and truly deserves it.
