3. While u might think its punk shit, what Masvidal did was street shit. When u have beef 90% of the time ur enemy is not gonna warn u & tell u to square up the same way they wouldnt tell u to get ur guns ready if they wanted to kill u. This ain’t a duel, it ain’t a cowboy movie.

It’s actually crazy how Colby has warped the MMA world. The guy was hated for talking about kids, wives & countries. Now he’s loved, meanwhile Jorge who’d never talk about such things is thrown under the bus. MMA fans are the worst.

If Jorge would’ve done this before there fight it wouldn’t have been so bad, but to lose to the guy, then sneak up and do what he did. Smh. sore loser, punk, losing to the same guy twice in different ways.
