RE: Jorge Masvidal is having a rough March

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Dude I haven't seen one person on the internet defending Masvidal, the dude risks 1 year in prison for this shit. Especially now Covington is milking it, saying there were damage, that it's been a few days "he is not feeling well", this is gold for any lawyer. I also don't think the UFC is going to let that fly...

My take is, I am as flawed as Jorge, and if I bump into a dude that insulted me as a father, and let's say, I had a couple of drinks, I would probably do something stupid, but again, I understand that most people are calm and collected, I am the type to confront people from time to time 😄

That being said, It does sounds like I am trying to justify what Jorge did, which isn't possible, but there is a rule of the streets, you talk shit, you pay for it. Some guys died for less than that, just by speaking the wrong way to the wrong guy.

Not so long everyone was celebrating the "3 pieces & a soda" like it was a cute meme, but what people don't understand, is that Jorge is Jorge. For one thing, he actually is really consistent in the way he responds to threats, and when somebody talks shit. He is from Miami, truly, and learned how to fight in a backyard with guys like Kimbo.

This isn't a competitive environment; but a deadly one. I don't think Colby knows what's going on because he comes from a more traditional background, and isn't about the "gangster life", but about the work ethic that wrestlers are known to have. Now you're going to laugh, but I think that they are both very sentimental, Jorge has sheltered Colby for years, making sure he doesn't see that thug life too much, and considered him like a little brother, until he got crossed and then all hell break lose.

I am probably the only one thinking that sometimes the shit talking is just going too far, my wife was reminding me that Mcgregor threw a dolly at a bus, and could have badly injured everyone involved, and got just lucky the dolly aimed right on the frame of the bus, imagine a little bit on the right, it's in Rose's face, and Mcgregor goes to prison for aggravated assault, or even homicide. I can also imagine the retaliation of the Dagestanis afterwards, an all out war.

Again, all of these dissipates with time. Who remembers Chael Sonnen talking about invading Brazil on horseback against Anderson Silva?
Nobody... But at the time, it was the most shocking thing to say, meanwhile Silva and Sonnen were sometimes being seen laughing respectfully, so it was a different time.

Things got much darker since Mcgregor vs Khabib, somebody flipped the script hahah.

Thanks for your tremendous comment love hearing your thoughts!!

I'll admit I wrote this post while the story was pretty fresh so I may have been unaware of some particular details.

Colby does say a lot, and I agree with you I may get very mad too if I was in Jorge's shoes. Speaking on children and being a parent is pretty tough.

I will just say this I guess. When it comes to Colby, people don't even know how to treat him LOL. He did and continues to use strong words, but also people just say he's a joke and treat him with that 'eye-roll' attitude. Probably because pretty much everyone knows Colby is a character and pot stirrer. Jorge seems to fall in line with that attitude, for the most part anyway.

Jorge claims Colby is fake and this and that, if that's the case, then why is Jorge so bothered by Colby?

I think it is what you eluded to, the brotherhood and then betrayal is some potent stuff, and yeah Jorge acted accordingly to his values and culture and upbringing or whatever. The gangster mindset as you say.

I guess the timing of it all and the pain of the loss just got to Jorge. You bring up some good points. This is definitely a fascinating storyline.

Grudgingly, I do have a fair amount of respect for both of these guys. There are some very good similarities between these tow, as well as some pretty stark differences!

Hope they fight again!

You bring up some great points, thanks again for your input and thoughts! :D

Now Colby is on the Fullsend podcast with the Nelkboys I think? I gotta listen to that!
