Media Colby Covington doubling down on Leon Edwards' late father comments

Lol make your mind up Colby.

In front of reporter- Doubles down, says Leon's dad was a scumbag and tells Leon "Come do something about it bitch"

In front of Leon- "I was in character"

<36>

This is worse than any shit talk said over the weekend. So weird. Colby is disgusting for talking shit. But I’m gonna go on the internet and wish death to him.

yeah especially since apparently Leon's dad was a gangster, human trafficker, drug dealer, and responsible for violence himself which is why he was killed at a fucking night club lmao Scarface in Jamaica shit

Colby selling the shit out of this fight, not breaking kayfabe. Dude understands pro-wrestling more than most wrestlers nowadays. He's the closest thing we have to a WWF Attitude Era heel.

And that’s a good thing?

Another thread said he did opposite, saying 'I was in character'...?

And... fuck this WWE shit. The reason We liked MMA was specifically because it was real, and it had real characters - interesting people, not made up personas. And if there was real beef / dab blood, it made it great. And if it were two respectful guys that when to war but were gracious afterwards, that made it great too.

That was Jesse on fire who was wrong he admitted
 
Leon's father was at best muscle for a violent gang, but more likely a capo in a Jamaican gang. Jamaiaca is tier 2 human trafficking country with trafficking of young women and boys being focused on night clubs and bars.

Leon Edwards: MMA saved me from being 'dead, in prison or dead broke'

Leon Edwards will fight Kamaru Usman in the main event of UFC 278 on Saturday. For Edwards, getting to this point meant leaving a life filled with violence, crime and gangs.

I realized as I got a bit older why I was the first kid in my neighborhood to have a remote-control car and a bike. My father was involved in, let's just say, questionable activities. Everyone would show him respect. I knew he was important in the community. I knew what he did -- everyone knew what he did.

Because of my father, I was somewhat protected. But Kingston was crazy. It was filled with crime and gangs. The road you lived on was your "lane." That's your area and you can't go anywhere else. You're constantly beefing with people down the road from you. At night, you couldn't go down those other roads. Everyone is broke, but they're still warring over territory. It's probably the poverty and hunger that does it to men. It's mad.

As a kid growing up in Jamaica, all you see is crime, drugs, killing, shooting, poverty. Day in and day out. I've never seen someone get shot in front of my face, but I've seen people who were hit with bullets running to get away.

Killing became normal to me as a kid. Hearing gunshots was normal; it did not faze me. When you're playing outside in Jamaica and you hear gunshots, you don't run and hide. You just look, and if it's nowhere near you, you carry on with your day. That was it. It is a part of life. We didn't know any better.

Kingston is a hot spot for violent gangs, drug and human trafficking, and wonton murder of rivals.

At the cost of the sport...

All depends what morals you have or what you like..

Chael to a lesser extent negatively affected the sport but Conor absolutely did ...

Cost of the sport? How different do you honestly think the sport would be without these guys?

...and in what way?
 
Getting Leon in his feels is a good move by Colby despite not being classy

And even Leon admits his dad was a shitty person

Yeah, but Strickland fired at him first saying he let’s people fuck his wife. Lol you can’t throw a punch and then play the victim when someone throws back.

Exactly this. Sean crying like a baby. Can dish but I guess can't take. Would love to see Sean vs Colby, when they both lose.
 
This has nothing to do with pro wrestling actors pretending to be different characters with made up back stories.
Colby spoke about specific and personal aspects of Leon’s family.
Who does that?

TheGreatReset said:
Makes sense, it's not a big deal. Even by leon's own admissions his dad was not a good person. Who knows how many people that guy killed or got killed, certainly more than 1 so don't pity leon.

The reality is what o'malley said was far worse but strickland didn't throw a tantrum like leon did so no one cared. But reality is what he said was actually f'd up.

Don’t pity someone who lost their father as a child?
chinarice said:
He's on stage saying he was in character.

He doesn't believe any of the shit he says. He'll just do and say anything to get reactions

Some of the things he is saying are pretty terrible though
Click to expand...
Are we sure about that?
Seems like he’s trying to tap into and exploit another fighter’s childhood trauma to gain an advantage.
What “character” is that?
