      Disagree. He is responsible for the environment he provides as a owner/manager/head coach... leader... He is spineless because he didnt want to cut someone that was a clear root issue for profit. Regardless of how it impacted his own coaches, fighters etc. I lost more respect for him than I gained in this interview.

      I agree, I especially am tired of interviewers and most media asking a question by saying the word “obviously” that’s a crutch for the interviewee to agree with your line of questioning and if you listen to questions nowadays more and more that is how they start them question with, 🤦‍♂️ if I was in the media and had the resources that most of them have I swear, people would have a better view on what the media is really trying to put out!!!

      But its abit deeper than that, what's the use of being successful when you have no true friends to enjoy the success with? It's sort of like saying a serial killer who robs his victims and became rich of them, should somehow be respected because he came from nothing to something?
      Like I began statement I hear exactly what you're saying and I love to hear a success story too, but in my eyes he could stop right now and people will still watch, but he chooses to keep being a toxic Troll and unfortunately makes it hard for me to every truly respect him (not that he cares for my respect lol) but others feel the same

Jorge said he wasn’t really around colby as much as people think and Dan said they were always together. Jorge said that Colby was always a shitty person but then the coach just said that he was always a shy, soft spoken person. Just a bunch of stuff that aren’t checking out. Then Jorge said he never payed him rent for staying on his couch but failed to mention that it was his baby mamas home and she was paying the rent lol just a lot of stuff not checking out on his end. Also Jorge said that Dana never told his coach that they were gonna cut him that it was just something Colby said but Dan just said that it was completely true and that he told Colby that same night lol

    19:45 dang… Colby was telling the truth the whole time about how they were BOTH kicked off the team and Jorge begged to come back.
    Everyone thinks Colby is the liar, but it seems two sided and like if anything, Jorge spins more BS than Colby does.

    Take this into account, if dan were to go on air bashing someone for whatever reason who used to be a member of his gym, isn't a good representation of the place as though if you fall out they air your dirty laundry, that's not what he's trying to do remember that

    • @toakasi6425

      Yes as a coach or one of the main coaches you need to be fair and neutral as you are responsible for maintaining the gym it's law n order really the coaches know that certain things are out of their control its not a good look to have to many fighters switching up either funny enough Nunes left also UFC really are harsh on the fighters

    He literally said I don’t believe anything I hear and half of what I see especially with these two… am I the only one who caught that? Lol I think the beef is a sham still, there’s so many things that make it seem that way, like during interviews Jorge and Colby both not wanting whoever they are with to say anything and laughing at whoever is there when asked about each other, one interview with Jorge really made me believe it because when he was asked about Colby he looked up at whoever and couldn’t wipe off the grin. This was a year ago or so but I absolutely believe they are still friends and about to get a big payday together just like they dreamed of in the beginning
