Did Colby deserve to get sniped by Jorge?

[sonofjay817]

So I always thought this was a bit cowardly on Jorge's part. Sucker punching someone for trash talk. Mostly because they had a chance to fight in a regulated environment and Colby handily won

Then i saw things from a separate factor. If Colby's words were potent enough did they deem a counter attack? Whether stealth or not. I've heard that Jorge lives by a code and he carries an answer. However it has seemed to sideline Colby for a year. I don't understand his injury or if the attack was warranted. Hell I don't even know what Colby said

Not even fighter bashing I just want to know what you think on a psychological and legal level

The thing that astonished me the most in that whole situation was Jorge posting about it afterwards acting like sneaking up on a guy with a whole posse around you and sucker punching him was cool.

They should fight to the death.

The incident in which Jorge Masvidal sucker-punched Colby Covington at a restaurant in Miami was undeniably cowardly and wrong, reflecting poorly on both fighters and the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) as a whole. While MMA is known for its intense rivalries and fierce competition, there are established rules and codes of conduct that fighters are expected to adhere to, both inside and outside the octagon. Masvidal's actions in this situation not only breached these principles but also tarnished the image of MMA athletes as professionals.

Sucker-punching an opponent outside of a sanctioned fight is not only a cowardly act but also a dangerous one. MMA fighters are trained professionals who understand the potential consequences of their actions, and they are expected to resolve their differences in a controlled and regulated environment. Resorting to physical violence in a public place not only puts the safety of others at risk but also displays a lack of discipline and self-control.

Moreover, such actions send a negative message to the fans, especially young and impressionable ones who look up to these fighters as role models. MMA athletes should strive to set an example of sportsmanship and respect for their fellow competitors, even if they have personal conflicts. Masvidal's sucker punch only serves to perpetuate a culture of aggression and hostility, rather than promoting the values of sportsmanship and respect that are essential to the growth and integrity of the sport.

In conclusion, Jorge Masvidal's sucker punch on Colby Covington was a regrettable and wrong action that undermined the principles of professionalism, discipline, and sportsmanship that should be upheld by MMA athletes. Such behavior not only jeopardizes the reputation of the individuals involved but also casts a shadow on the entire sport. MMA fighters should strive to settle their differences in a respectful and controlled manner within the confines of the octagon, adhering to the rules and values that make this sport an honorable and competitive endeavor.

Colby shouldn't have flexed

 

[SeattleFightFan]

In all seriousness? Everyone's the asshole in this situation. Colby went too far and called the cops. And Jorge shouldn't've have done what he did.

Massive lol.

We live in a civilized society where free speech is a thing.

You can say whatever the fuck you like to whomever you like and realistically you shouldn't have to worry about being assaulted over it.

That said, there are people out there with serious impulse control issues.

Colby can chalk it up to trying to hype a fight and he's right to do so, but if you start talking personal stuff in public about crazy people, don't expect them not to do crazy shit.

Civilized society? Have you seen the videos of the animalistic behavior of kids looting local stores, taking over streets, jumping innocent bystanders, etc.. Some parts of America are mostly civilized and others are turning into jungles.

I'm bad at drawing conclusions like "deserve". however, it was certainly very funny

 

[mahavishnunj]

I guess I just wanted to probe the contrary. Because there seems to be a lot of it

This is pretty hot, keep going.....

 

[Fergelmince]

This has got to be a stealth entrapment thread. Drawing out all the suburban OG's to talk about street cred, and "code," and how they would blast a "fool" if someone "throw shade" at their family

 

[Blastbeat]

Because unlike Lesnar vs Hunt this fight was extremely personal ,had been brewing for a long time and etiquette and logic was thrown out the window.

Excerpted from DUH magazine

"i hear that Masvidal guy is a real jerk. i bet he doesnt even own a doghouse!"
fuck i miss Norm.

yeah, no matter what your feelings are about Colby, his persona, etc. its a shitty thing to sucker punch someone. Colby had to deal with a concussion and some broken teeth. Masvidal had his chance to shut Colby up in the octagon and couldnt do it. so he took the weasel route. Colby is absolutely in the right to go after Masvidal legally.

Including the retarded assholes who still say "Colby called the cops".

Imagine sucker punching someone and still not being able to KO them
