The bbabo.net website presented the reaction of MMA fighters on Twitter to the brawl between the Americans Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington, the correspondent of bbabo.net reports.
Masvidal attacked Covington outside the Papi Steak restaurant, where Colby was having dinner with the Nelk Boys, popular podcast writers who frequent UFC events. Jorge is now facing jail time.
Kamaru Usman: "That's not how we behave in this house."
Jake Paul: "Masvidal ambushed Colby. Couldn't do anything to him in the cage, so he tried sneak attacking?"
Belal Muhammad: "Interesting, Colby has a lot of haters, it could be anyone in a mask."
Sean Strickland: "I laughed at Colby running from Werdum and pulling out his phone like a woman. Just because you know how to fight doesn't make you a man."
André Fili: "Dudes talk recklessly outside the cage and then get punched in the face outside the cage and cry. It's crazy."
Ben Askren: "Imagine you have 25 minutes to legally hit someone as many times as you want, but you can't do it, so you have to watch him outside the restaurant. A couple of times when I was beaten, I just thought it sucked, I should train harder or use better tactics. Didn't think about sneaking up and attacking him on the street. Jorge also talked about my family, so he's being hypocritical on top of that."
Jared Gordon: "So he disguised himself and put on a hoodie and then surreptitiously hit him? Colby will press charges and sue just to punish Jorge. He will really have the last laugh here. Even if Colby doesn't press charges, the state will Jorge's case."
Kelvin Gastelum: "Leon Edwards has never pressed any charges."
Max Griffin: "So he hit Colby unexpectedly and was wearing a mask and hood? Couldn't fight like a man? Maybe he didn't want to be hit again."
Recall that Masvidal owns the symbolic belt of the organization's "main scoundrel" in the UFC. In 2019, he scored the fastest knockout in league history, defeating Ben Askren in five seconds. In total, over the years of his career in MMA, the American won 35 victories with 14 defeats.
Earlier, former UFC champion Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov outlined his position on this incident.
