Colby living his best life

 

[Fahcough]

i think its a character but hes going to end up getting his ass whooped for it.

Worse. He's going to piss off the person with nothing to lose and expectations of life in prison

 

[snackgod]

Who da fooq is glenn robinson? and why should we care? And what is a covington?

he helped start the gym that become the blackzillans with rashad evans and usman was the winner of tuf battle of the gyms. dan lanbert has always been jealous that att lost that show.

what other people say shouldn't matter to you, unless you actually care about what they think.

If karma really exists, Usman will take years off of Colby's life on December 14th

 

[JPM1223]

At a November press conference in New York, Covington accused Usman of playing a role in Robinson’s death, saying that he “gave Glenn a heart attack from all those years you were ducking me.” It’s a line Covington has used before, but this time he punctuated it with an even more audacious statement, claiming that Robinson would be “watching from hell on Dec. 14.”

Robinson’s daughters, who requested their names be withheld, reached out to MMA Junkie to offer a public reply. While admitting they didn’t necessarily want to take part in Covington’s promotional strategy, Robinson’s daughters said they felt compelled to speak out on behalf of their father.

“It saddens us to even have to make a statement regarding a previous distasteful comment Colby Covington made suggesting our late father, Glenn Robinson, will be watching his upcoming fight from hell. However, after careful thought and consideration, on behalf of our family, we feel it is necessary to defend our father’s name.

“The death of our father is still very raw. Our family is still grieving from his loss, so imagine the hurt we felt to hear such hateful words recklessly said about our father.

“We understand the excitement of building up hype before a fight, but we are sure Colby Covington can get press for his upcoming fight on his own merit and without spewing hateful words towards our father, the founder of the Blackzilians. In fact, our father was the exact opposite of a hateful person. He gave countless opportunities to many people, both personally and professionally. He consistently put everyone else’s best interests before his own. Our father died too young, but we can proudly say he accomplished more during his short life than many others do in a full lifetime.

“Lastly, we did not want to make this statement or to breathe more life into someone that truly has no relevance in our lives, but we will always defend our father, his reputation and his name, the one we share proudly.”

–Written by the daughters of the late Glenn Robinson

yeah, shits gettting all political, emotional, and just bizarre in MMA these days LOL<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><45><45><45>

And people still think this is a character, only a cunt in real life would say some bitch shit like that.

Don't worry bro only a couple of weeks before that piece of shit has his arse handed to him. His circle of friends is almost non-existent now, with the likes of Mas, Poirier saying he's a fukking douche and want to fight him. Only the head coach at ATT is sticking with him, believing they might have another UFC world champion. After that the guys on a serious decline.

 

[Aaaay1hotsauce]

This is the type of shit that just goes too far. Imagine caring that much about making money to say something this awful? What a lowlife.

 

[Roy D Rayge]

Is the word "triggered" really necessary in this case TS

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I think dignifying that statement with a response was a mistake. It will only bring more eyes to Colby.

I agree. It wasn’t an accusation or character attack that required a response. It was just a really stupid thing said for shock value.

 

[DeathByCaranos]

i think thats the whole point to get people upset?

 

[amok attitude]

what other people say shouldn't matter to you, unless you actually care about what they think.

Come on! He is talking nonsense about their late father, no shit they are annoyed.
Most of the time, i laugh at covingtons nonsense but in some cases the shit which comes out of his mouth is too fucked up.
I do think the guy is prisoner of his own character, he keeps pushing the button more and more and at one point everybody is like "wtf man".

 

[submerged88]

All the sherbros telling Robinsons family to ignore him lose their shit when someone ridicules their favorite fighter, politician or sports team and they have no connection to any of those figures. Tell me what you value in life and I can make you lose your shit using a keyboard.

 

[Joshuagilbert91]

Colby is trying too hard. IMO never bring up the deceased... whether it be in a "promo" or talking shit in general... thats so disrespectful. Conor, Chael and Bisping never went that far. I honestly hope Usman destroys Colby, and the UFC cuts his MAGA-wannabe ass.

 

[Morning Star]

What a cunt.

I value being able to have access to enough food to sustain me daily

It was a character at first but he let it consume him.

the ufc and mma is dying a slow and painful death, this type of behavior is not why i got into mma back in 2004. Just a shame dana brought the stupid antics of the WWE to a pure sport like mixed martial arts. Then they go out and buy all the competing organizations who are honoring the spirit of mma like wec/affliction/etc

I used to think fedor was ducking UFC back in the day, but now i see Fedor is to honorable of a human being to subject himself to the trash that mma has become, and that was back in 2009 when they were saying that fedor( a true mma artist) was somehow ducking a former failed nfl steriod junkie in brock lesnar. oh well at least i got to wtiness the great fights in mma from 2003-2012
