• Bahahaha they gonna use this in court in the Colby case
• I agree with what he’s saying, but I hope he’s being sarcastic it hasn’t been that long ago he sucker punched Colby in a restaurant.
• Lmao the irony of Jorge Masvidal saying this after jumping Colby because he couldn’t beat him in the octagon
• Meanwhile he ran up on Colby and feels it’s cool and that he can get away with it
• While I agree, it’s hilarious coming from the sucker punch king.
• Probably the last guy that should chime in on this situation. However, I do agree with him lol
• just another street hero that thought he could mix it with a legit killer got what he deserved
• Hes talking truth , based on his personal experience 
• He ain’t wrong but it’s a bit rich and ironic coming from someone who assaults fighters he can’t beat on the streets
