Colby Covington is still radio silent

[Ramon Antonio]

He can't be going around talking shit or taking fights if he is gonna claim brain damage.

Wrong!

Someone with brain damage wouldn't make rational decisions like that. So if he wants to win this case he better take a hard fight soon.

 

[Ramon Antonio]

I don't feel like playing poker tournaments and suing for brain damage go hand in hand. But I'm no lawyer

Not necessarily. Brain damage doesn't necessarily mean he cannot function anymore. Maybe he's simply functioning at a lower level (which can still be reasonably high) or he simply cannot fight anymore due to risk. I have a guy in my gym who had to stop boxing because if he took more hits it would go very bad for him due to brain trauma / scarring.

 

[SouthpawSouthernFist]

Very strange approach. He's obviously not got brain damage from the assault and his loss of earnings are voluntary. He wasn't badly hurt and he's involved in the fight game. I'm sure he'll win the case. But he won't get a big bag for it and his profile as a fighter after that will be done

Exactly. Now he's going to be known as the guy who sues people.

New nick name.

Colby "fucked around and found out" Covington

Tried that shit with Werdum too

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Last name he's spoken was Dustin Poirier at LW. Colby wants nothing to do with the new breed at WW. Don't even remember him mentioning Khamzat exists.

He has called cumshot out previously but said he needed to beat someone

Kind of hard when he beat the #3 and everyone else is booked besides Colby who is quiet.

 

[Tweak896]

No? Don't remember him calling him cum shot? Bad memory, eh?

Definitely did not hear he wanted to fight him.

Imagine being a Colby fan lmao

Damn man. I knew I wasn't all that knowledgeable on brain injuries. I do think Colby is looking for an easy pay day though. He was brain damaged way before the attack occurred.

 

[cooks1]

He’s trying to ruin Jorge and his legal team have said to say quiet.

But you’re right. If this drags on, as many legal battles do, will he be spending him prime doing fuck all?

The likelihood Colby will get more from Mas in a civil suit than he would from a couple fights is remote.

 

[jsbx45]

I for one appreciate the Colby silence.

It's likely not about getting money from Mas. It's about fucking him in court.

Agreed on the payday, and it's going to be extremely hard for him to prove he got brain damage specifically from being punched by Masvidal. No idea how they're going to argue their case.

 

[spinitch]

First Colby needs to demonstrate he had an undamaged brain before the altercation. Is Colby drooling or something extreme beyond his behavior b4 incident?

What if Mas claims Colby got the brain damage from that one good shot he landed in their fight

 

[Bearknuckle]

Yea I get that, but to do that he has to stay quiet, which hurts his celebrity profile and social media presence. Kind of like he's killing his career to make some quick cash, which I can't imagine is going to be a large amount of in the end.

He's been quiet for what, four months now or more?

Lol the fans have a short memory. Once the case is settled, he just has to start talking shit again and you guys will eat it up.

Colby got his tooth broken in a sleazy sneak attack. I am never one to defend Colby, but those are just known facts. The brain damage thing will be near impossible to prove unless Colby REALLY IS seriously brain damaged and more "Demonstrably" impaired than before. That seems unlikely, but who knows? Either way, there is enough for Masvidal to go down for some real jail time and a big financial hit.

I miss the days of GSP, Fitch, Alves, Kos and co. Colby and Mas are douchebags. Usman is a great champ, but fighting these two again and again does nothing for his legacy.
