Him repping with the t-shirt, hat and interview responses made me nervous because before he was vehemently shying away from taking it there, saying it’s just two athletes competing. Ariel Helwani asked him if he felt the pressure to carry that mantle and Tyron seemed like he wanted to cuss him out, because people were already coming up to him saying he had to whoop Colby’s ass for the culture.
Fast forward and he’s leaning heavily into that role which signaled to me that he’s in his head about that shyt. To suddenly jump on it felt like someone got in his ear or he felt he wasn’t repping hard enough. Just overall was a huge tell about his lack of focus and that his mind still wasn’t solid.
And shyt, why would it be? I feel like dude JUST got merked by Gilbert Burns and said he was going to take some time off and obviously needed to, but then he rushed back. It almost felt like convenient timing with the election. Like Dana smelled blood in the water and knew Tyron was finished so he scheduled the fight around the Trump rally him and all of Ali’s boys attended. Colby backs out of so many fights and then suddenly he’s ready. He kept looking at the teleprompter with that Nov. 3/LeBron James promo after the W. Trump called him live during the post fight and dude was in the presser shytting on Black Lives Matter.
To the other poster’s point, Tyron lacked self awareness. As soon as the fight was announced we all hit the
because we knew what the outcome would be. Instead of taking time to heal breh allowed himself to get used like a pawn
Matter of fact, I hope to God it wasn’t Dana that gassed him up to throw the movement into the mix to hype the storyline
