Things I cut out of the video that are still interesting:
1. Colby's first loss at UFC 194 headlined by Conor McGregor VS Jose Aldo. Many people argue that McGregor paved the way for Colby to become who he is, acting as a 'mentor' of some sort. I decided not to include that because it's a speculative argument and of course, has been denied by Covington.
2. Masvidal's first fight when he came back was against Darren Till. He knocked him out. He then fought Ben Askren and won the BMF belt against Nate Diaz. I cut out Till and Diaz to keep the pace high and because they weren't as impactful as the win over Askren overall.
3. I almost called this video Covington VS Masvidal: From Bros to Foes. Kinda had a ring to it.

17:17 bruh the way Colby says “ it’s not what sells” really broke me up man I really felt sad for him
i literaslly came down to comment exactly that.
The root of all evil fr 💰💰💰
Yeah he’s playing the part Ufc want him to play Play for pay
The whole story in a line
Dude...
Colby is the real life embodiment of "don't hate the player, hate the game"
Lol masvidal is more popular. And people love him more than Colby rich kid from Oregon Jorge ain't no fake tough guy
@@erickiyoshiphillips2323 I'm not a Colby fan but he's definitely not fake tough guy. He's beaten a lot of ass, Usman is just better.
Holy shit I finally know what that means now
@Wiler Walker Jr Ok keyboard warrior.
Colby would fuck up 98% of dudes on the planet.. as would anyone at that level, that makes him a tough guy
Colbys response to the kid saying he should show that side of him more is so sad because that's what he originally wanted to do. My man ruined so many connections just so he can sit next to these guys at the top, and if you told anyone else you can sit at the top but you will lose all of your friends within the sport I don't think many other people would take that sacrifice.
Thats why not everybody could become a champion, but few will make that sacrifice, burning the bridges to another path of life, to have only one option, become the best or burn out trying...
Excellent work.
@Cactus Malone they were with eachother and positive things happened when they were, Masvidal was crushing skulls when he was training with Colby so I think it's the reverse of that argument, Colby just wasn't getting enough spotlight and had to break away from him by any means necessary
lol bruh... He's a fighter... He wants to become a world champion.. He's already been an interm world champ... There are clearly zero friends in the business.. Also, what is he going to do, get an office job??
What’s that kids name?
... heartbreaking... I hope Jorge is in on the bluff. friendships like the one they had are the rarest thing on earth.
Naw, Look in George's eyes. That man is hurt by the betrayal. Also you can't go around calling someone a b*tch who was that important to you.
Nah, george is too low IQ. Reminds me of the chael/vanderlei thing years ago
jorge actually punched colby you know that right
@@alexsteinbach9899he deserved it. Man literally betrayed his best friend and mad shit talked him after the fight. Idk wtf Covington was thinking because if anyone talks like that to someone they’ll get slapped.
He wasn't. Thereafter a reaction video online showing Masvisdals face, after the MMA reporter showed him the clip of Covington, talking $hit
Jorge can deny it but you can see it in his eyes that he is quite hurt by what's happening with Colby. Eyes never lie.
You saw what I saw and yet you still felt the need to comment on my shit? lol
Do you guys think that they putting up a show and one day after they retired, they be chilling and laughing about these moments?
@@facelessnine7980 I hope so. I think fame has gotten to both of those guys head. I know deep down they are glad that they’re getting paid and living the life they have always dreamed of.
Not surprising. Masvidal's a massive mark - can't differentiate between what's real and what's a work. Even with Askren, Ben was building hype for what he thought would be a championship run and Masvidal somehow even took that shit to heart, genuinely disliking him to this very day.
@@facelessnine7980 no
Bro I am genuinely shocked at how good this video is. Really hope your channel blows up. I feel confident this will get tens of thousands of views in no time.
Thank you Daniel, means a lot! 🙌
Agreed!
Same. Dope video! Loved the content
@@PatrickGavia bro I’ve only seen a few seconds of the video so maybe you take it somewhere else but you said this is the moment that saved his career which I assume you are referring to him saying they were going to cut him if he didn’t start that shtick right? Because bro that’s been proven to be 100% false he said they told him they were going to cut him because he was basically boring or whatever which I mean already sounded completely ridiculous you don’t cut top 5 contenders ON A WINNING STREAK LOL it just didn’t add up then come to find out he actually started the shtick in the fight or two before that one which made me think it cousin be true that they threatened to cut him but not because he was boring instead because he had just said alllll that shit and Brazilians seem to get butthurt when you go on them or their country lol and Colby wasn’t selling he was nowhere near a big draw even after doing all that talking cause we all knew it was just an act so I’m thinking they’re looking at it like dude we have to have security for him when the fights are at certain places, he started problems with almost everyone on the roster, etc, etc…so I feel like it’s the complete opposite reason as to what he’s saying unless it’s just a 100% fabrication which is entirely possibly lol
@@PatrickGavia but yeah bro here I’ll link the video which completely debunks that claim of his
I've ran in to Colby a couple of times after the heel turn, just because I am in the same community. Colby as always been real cool, super nice and willing to help out. Its all a character to make money. Its sad that it wasn't his awesome talent that got everyone taking notice but this act. At the end of the day this is what our society eats up and it sucks but hey that's show business right? Thanks again for another good video.
what colby really shows us is the UFC is no different then the WWE. since his "enlightening" hes 4-2 and 3 of his wins are decisions and the only stoppage was cuz sleepy woodly was to tired to be bothered to fight that day. hes just as boring of a fighter as ever and really sad people buy into someone making an ass of themselves to stay relivent.
I love the second half of your comment. I hated the first…
@@moody9442No. He may have shown (enlighten) *You* but most of us have known this for a very long time my friend.
Saddest part is he ruined his connections at his old gym old sparring partners, friends, like woodley, dustin, masvidal, ATT, Jones, all to get a bit of fame, when he retires he will probably be forgotten, he's never gonna be in the GOAT conversation Then u have guys like leon and usman who stayed true to themselves and became champ
Jorge was truly shocked when he heard what Colby said in that interview
Or acting shocked. Because they're both in on it.
@@mentalmeltNa, it's not fake. Colby got his tooth knocked out, and Masvidal's being charged with a felony. Because of it, neither has fought since. You can't fake that, and even if you could, there's nothing to gain since they've both been inactive for a while now.
@@zumis1011 ya these people gotta be retarded if they still think its fake
@@chadwellington2524 there's no shortage of stupidity. Plenty of people believe everything is a conspiracy
Hearing Jorge call Colby his best friend really touched my heart
it was honestly kinda hard to watch i felt so bad and honestly kinda sad
Kind of sad
Yeah this hit differently, no where else will you see the true side and realness of an athlete and them still be more under appreciated than they should be.
Facts, even how Colby smiled after he said that.
Yeah. Colby let his character cross over into his actual life and ruined a good friendship just for the sake of being controversial. Masvidal did a whole lot for him at the beginning of his career. Hell we seen it in this video when he told Jorge “I wouldn’t be here without you.” Which is why it’s really ironic hearing him tell Masvidal that he only cares about himself, and it really doesn’t make sense.
What kills me is the fact that 2 brothers were torn apart. Everything else I can get past, but no amount of money can replace the bond that Colby and Jorge had.
agree 100%, talk mad shit to the crowd,...whatever, but snaking your Best friend? the guy who kept you going in the early years? thats messed up
That bothers me, as well!!!
Yep no amount of money in the world will buy back your integrity.
Ll it tkes is both of them to be like fuck it mn lets just kick it like the old dys nd move forwrd.
What if Colby created this drama so that he could have a big fight with his best friend and they both get paid. Maybe he pulled a homie move
This guy Patrick Gavia is just too good. Watch'n documentaries is one of my favourite hobby. Never been hooked up to any other content creators. Looking forward for more from you.
Best example of a 'don't hate the player, hate the game'-situation I've ever seen. Even after selling out Jorje, stepping over corpses, I do feel sorry for the guy (Colby). It's all a numbers game, and believe he will struggle to make it right with himself. What a warrior though
He can still be redeemed
Jorge and Colby’s friendship was so wholesome. Not even friendship, it was like a brotherhood. Two friends trying to chase their dreams and find their way in the world. I hope they are faking their beef
I see it as an accomplishment and they both made it to the top, it was a successful journey and anyone butthurt by a few words did not grow up watching WWE.. your parents should have not raised you better and probably had stronger feelings.
It doesnt look like they are faking it it wouldnt go as far as leaving the gym type of scenario
They are faking it..
@@jeffdarnell7942 I agree but you can only blame it on the generation who raised us
They're brothers. I love what they're doing. They are playing the game and living the dream at the top. They did it, the dream they both had years ago in that small apartment, they made it together. If you've had a roommate like that, you know that bond is for life and unbreakable.
I will no longer blame this dude. I blame us for making him feel this is what he had to do to reach his dream. Its like that sometimes. Respect
OK BUT IF HE WAS BLACK YOUR OPINION WOULD BE WAY DIFFRRENT
It’s people like you who cause people like this to exist you don’t want to hold them accountable for their actions just because you feel they have a way to justify it he wants to act like he’s the man well men take accountability for what comes out of their mouth no respect for selling down the people who had your back just to eat off their corpse
@@Sea-Voyager not true. Jon Jones is a piece of garbage yet people still support him
@@Sea-Voyager yes.
@@melancholymartialarts7095 huh? Everyone scream how they hate him. This was the first of these comments I’ve ever seen. And on top of him currently looking for a gym that will support him. After his previous on said how they wouldn’t support him lol.
This is not what Colby is about, this is what the UFC is about. Great video.
Absolutely. Martial arts teaches respect and discipline. This shouldn’t be rewarded. I personally just don’t buy his fights out of principle.
I’ve watched 3 of your vids now and they’re so so good. Great production quality and tons of research. Awesome job man!
It’s so sad to see somebody so humble and star eyed be forced down a dark path in order to follow the dream he’s worked so hard for. Respect for Colby and Jorge both.
Respect for Usman. He beat them both. Without all the drama.

DC’s face when Colby went off on his rant is priceless. I’m positive he knew that he was about to get cut. He was looking at him like “atta boy, you know what you must do my son”
YES
epic moment, its amazing to see people change the outcome of their lifes on camera.
@@d0sxxgaming94 100%, he has himself to thank for where he’s at in his career. Not everybody can say that. Especially in this sport
He also knew it was all an act.
@@yvngtonyb Nope. Everyone at that level has themselves to thank. Lmao.
Everyone has lost a BestFriend to betrayal. The one who is bitter is the one betrayed..
17:24 is one of the most heartbreaking lines I've ever heard.
Its heartbreaking with Masvidal. You can tell how heart broken he was.
They both acting to promote their fight. Best fights are with an emotional story behind it. 🤷🏻♂️
@@uknow1094 whos george?
I’m not taking sides but there always 2 sides to one story
@@uknow1094 You guys are actually deluded 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@NaeOfficial he won’t. He’s one of those people who think everything’s fake
It's sad to see how much they loved each other beforehand. There's no way that doesn't hurt them deep down, even Colby.
But they know they have a plan. They a secretly having a laugh tricking the whole world. As long as its going to plan, they are fine psychology
Colby sold him plain & simple.
@@gi7685 The uncertainty is what sells we dont know the absolute truth
@@kojinmaster The fact that there are still idiots who think this is fake baffles my mind. And you guys think you’re “thinking deeper” than everyone else. It’s funny
@@Jcrof exactly. If this is fake then Jorge deserves to at least be nominated for an Oscar.
This was heartbreaking to watch. Thanks for another eye-catching documentary 🙏🏾
This video is so well made, it had my attention each second. Props man!
17:20 The man said it all and Colby actually felt it ,That moment I realized 101% that he doesn't even like what he is doing, but he has to do it to sell the fights and keep his contract ...
the man has got to eat
Yeah definition of selling out
Not worth losing a best friend
@@DosNeckace Jorge is not a quality human being by any means. Colby’s no saint but atleast he’s not a deadbeat father
@@Flowerz__ dude shut up. Regular people sell out everyday too
Man, whoever wins the match, I’m 100% sure the post-fight atmosphere will be a tear jerker. Watched the documentary showing these two in 2013. As a 21 year old, that type of friendship is all I want, while learning to take on the world. It’s a support system like no other. To see two such besties fall out and go to war against each other, victim to the game they came to conquer, will be unlike anything we’ve seen in the ufc so far. This shit is visceral, and emotional. I hope they bury the hatchet and become best buddies again.
Well put
Very well said my brother
It’s all a show bro they are boys behind the scenes
U can take it easy they are still bestie’s! It’s just business.
I could not have said it better myself, dude.
I've always been deep into watching this all play out and hoping their bromance would return. Really enjoyed the work and story telling you put into it
Breaks my heart how someone can just stab their brother in the back like Colby. Breaking up friendships over going viral and clout is really sad and the saddest part is it's not just Colby who has done it there are so many other stories just like him.
jorge was the snake you idiots lolol
Breaks my heart how you need to do this to get attention because less than 20% watching ANYTHING are NOT interested in sheer skill and technical perfection and the man in the arena has to do this to survive and fulfill his dream of gold.
it is what it is, thats what sells..
@@chaosphere3841he still stabbed him in the back tho😂
@@rpd-3321I think it’s better to keep your best friend but that’s just me
This is really well made man! I hope this video gone viral! This is the best short video that explain the grudge match that we gonna see between Colby vs Masvidal 🔥

Yeah UFC should share this video to hype the fight 🔥
seriously
Assalamualaikum pak RT
This dude playing you bro it’s wack don’t listen to him
Man the disappointment and betrayal on Masvidal's face after the betrayal was heartbreaking. It's sad to see
I was actually starting to like Colby too. Now I can't forgive him for trampling such a sacred bromance just for money.
Dude we don’t know anything people do shady things sometimes , some people just decide to mirror
Bro he screwed his striking coach over he is like his dad. So not paying him hurt him
@@squilliamfancyson1080 JUST for money! Lmaoo, everything is about money in that business. And it will always be.
OMG...I'm stunned at how effective this entire setup has been. You LITERALLY believe the two hate each other. LOL! Colby is a genius. (hint: pro wrestlers don't REALLY hate each other). Wow.
Dude I like your style. The way you speak is like we’re friends hanging out and your trying to tell me on some shit about something you love. Very real man. Keep it up. I’ll be watching
Bro I am glad I saw your channel. I was looking for channels like this for years
“Fake it till you make it.” Colby does this more than anyone.
You can't argue with the results
I feel like you are discrediting him by saying that statement. I mean yeah he puts on a fake persona but he also works hard and is highly skilled, beating people up and hence delivering.
Yes talk shits about others wife and earn for this he can beg money in parliments
This could absolutely be an official UFC production and honestly I’m still not convinced it isn’t. This is absolutely amazing and feels like a blockbuster trailer for a Hollywood film.
This could 100% be turned into a Hollywood film. Hope I'll get to direct 😂
Bro for real! The music, the scenes, everything! So good!
lol I actually scrolled down to check if it's the official UFC channel while watching
This is by far the best documentry you've done. Amazing work
Excellent short. Please do a follow up. Best show on this subject yet !!! Can't wait to check out the rest of your channel. Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏
He didn’t “turn evil” he did what he had to do to save his career. Win or lose he was going to get cut after the Maia fight, so he took destiny into his own hands, grabbed the mic and the rest is history…not saying it was good, but when you’ve dedicated your life to something and despite an almost flawless record are about to get the boot, you tend to get a little louder.
Sadly, that is also applicable to many profession. One of those is people who worked for the government, especially those in 3rd world countries. Yes, you can live regularly by working normally, but siphoning funds and hiding it are more profitable, will give you connections to higher ranking officials, and possible raise or promotion
Yes he did. If he really cared about his career he’d have a fight booked this year already.
@@chrisbreezy2676 Masvidal f*cked up his chances of fighting this year, he ain't allowed to because of the UFC medical rules..
@@chrisbreezy2676 apparently he's suffering some real damage after the masvidal street jump incident . So much so that he's been quiet
@@alternativeharvey7 Dana said Colby is literally waiting for a fight right now. He's not injured.
Never knew this much about Colby. Now I feel empathy for him. We're all just trying to survive.
I only have a problem with the Masvidal beef. It was really too much. Seeing a tough guy like Jorge becoming this emotional when he first heard what Colvington has to say about him. Now I understand the sucker punch
It’s an act. All of it except for what happens in the ring. Like we all know, the best way to get ‘clicks’ is to elicit any strong emotion. These fighters want to retire young and live a comfortable lifestyle. If they have kids, they want to be able to provide a lifetime of security for them as well. It’s not about filling seats for a particular fight. It’s about retaining current fans and gaining new ones for the UFC brand. That’s where the money is. Sponsors will fall into place. There are business and PR agents at work, talking behind the scenes and making it entertaining. UFC is a business above all else.
...how did you come out of this not thinking he's the bad guy. What.
@@cmillertime7477 the same people who side with villians in movies. its an act, i dont feel bad for him since he chose it. he chose to be the guy everyone hated.
@@cmillertime7477 would u rather him had let himself get fired? lmao
Eric Bischoff who was boss of WCW in the 90's gave a TED talk about this. Make an audience feel a strong emotion, good or bad doesn't matter, as long as they are moved enough to buy
Amazing content! How did I only find this now. Keep doing this
Man Colby had to do what the ufc wanted him to. “You either die a hero or live long enough to be the villain”. I didn't respect the guy at first but hearing this now. I understood his motive. The world is a ruthless place. People encourage drama. The good Colby wasn't good for business that's why he had to shift to the more evil version. The guy is a product of the consequences.
Yep, the public want the despicable because the public itself is despicable
You’re mistaken. Colby was a piece of shit all along, he just knew how to suppress it and ufc knew that and that’s why they were gonna cut him. Because they knew he was faking nice guy act. And how boring is that? Pretty fucking boring. But when he showed his true colors that’s when ufc was like... hmm 🤔 maybe we do have something here... wake tf up and stop being so naive.
@@yenaponte4281 you'll eat your words after you see jorge and colby retire multi millionaires and party together after their trilogy and long term plan comes to fruition. Think you're being naive and buying into the narrative
@@yenaponte4281 where’s the proof Colby was Shitty before? Oh wait u have none lmaoo
Also musa this comment is bs lmao keep that same energy for guys who get locked up in the hood for stealing from the store for food or some shit or breaking in peoples houses, we know people like u wouldn’t keep that same energy, ud crucify them and cheer for them to be sentenced go jail forever, ud probably be all like “well they should’ve just followed the law”
17:25 bro when he said "thats not what sells" that shit had me in my feelings. He doesnt wanna become the villain but hes a man thats been pushed into a corner. Gotta put food on your table : /
Meh, this is kind of bullshit. Dudes making 7 figures easily. It's not about putting food on your table, it's promoting people like Candace Owens and Prager U so that you can make a few extra million.
Now days he doesn’t mind being the villain, he wants money, he enjoys being a jerk in front of the cameras
I just can’t get over how good all These videos are . It’s crazy .. like every single one is amazing
A true testiment that pro wrestling (whether you love or hate it) has woven itself into the fabric of UFC. Fans want to watch the Babyface scratch and claw to overcome. Fans also want to watch the heel they despise be defeated. PS: Your documentaries are incredible and so well polished. You're also extremely entertaining and well spoken. Keep it up man!
Definitely a special channel. Great work.
The purists don’t realize this. Pro Wrestling has a huge influence on UFC; MMA.
There's three moments that stand out to me about the real Colby, the moment with Volkanovski where he breaks character, also the wholesome interaction with Weili at the press conference and the conversation with his fan when he gave the guy his belt to take a picture where he said "that's not what sells". That's what you really need to know about the guy to see the truth.
These moments were all on camera, perhaps the “nice guy” is actually the persona, and the real Colby is the loudmouth with a criminal record
@@-Ahmed8592 hes got no criminal record lol
@@-Ahmed8592 bro everything we’ve seen of him is on camera that’s how that works. Most people say that he is a decent hard working guy behind the scenes who is quiet and spends all his time in the gym. Look up what din Thomas had to say about him
@@-Ahmed8592 Lol you're one of the simple minded people to play into their game. Stay mad.
@@-Ahmed8592 They were CAUGHT on camera, meaning it wasn't Colby in control, actively putting that side forward. He did that with Volk and Weili because he doesn't have to put on the persona to sell a fight with them because he's not fighting them. As for the fan interactions, he wasn't the guy recording it. He also actually cares for his fans, which is why he showed his true side to them.
This channel is going to EXPLODE if you consistently keep up this excellent editing and story telling. Keep it up man, embrace the grind
Thank you Casey! Won’t stop grinding until it does.
@@PatrickGavia Please keep at it. I'm on my 3rd video and love how you explore the angles no one else had the courage to explore before! You remind me a little bit of "That Chapter" whose channel has now exploded (well, for that niche, it is one of the good ones) and it's all because of sticking to your chosen niche and consistently sticking to that schedule - no matter what.
Your videos are amazing, I’m binging all of them right now!
Imagine being in Colby's shoes before all the controversy. Following your dreams, putting everything you are into becoming the best you can be, working your way up and winning fights while staying humble. A man of principle that gives credit to those that support him. A man of honor. How is he rewarded? By being told he was being tossed out like yesterday's trash. It's no wonder that he decided to flip the script and make a 180-degree turn-around. He has made brilliant use of the science of triggering people and it is one of the saddest examples of the human condition that I have seen in modern sports. But think about it and take the science to a broader perspective. If this strategy works in this example, where else is it being used to exploit social perception? EVERYWHERE! Social media, main-stream media...politics! Everywhere you look you can see examples of The Complex Science of Triggering People being used to manipulate, separate and compartmentalize humanity into pre-arranged groups that are ripe and ready for exploitation. This science has shined a spotlight on the human psyche and exposed us all to being little better than Pavlov's dogs. I hope that Colby's adopted persona is all an act and that he and Masvidal are still good friends. Imagine if they planned the whole rivalry. Now that would be brilliant. Just saying.
After the fight they will be bro's you can be sure of that.
He started to talk crap after Thompson Vs Woodley 1, he threatened to tell on Woodley to Dana about things Woodley said in confidence. The Maia story is bs he started to talk crap in 2016 1 year before the Maia fight, people have short memories. He is a coward, he ran to the police after basically provoking a reaction. Some people think it's justified doing things like this as long as it's for money.
He is yesterday's trash.
and then he stabbing his friend in the back. what a fake as dude covington is.
Couldn’t have been said better
"Its not what sells" *Colby says as he remembers what he was and what he has become while looking at this upcoming fighter whos also gonna get torn apart by the business*
I dont know man. There were a lot respecful fighters who were really successful like GSP, Fedor, Anderson Silva etc. You can be respectful and successful.
@@EatMyShortsAU gsp had the full support of Canada as there wasn’t any big Canadian names back then and fedor and silva both had striking bases which is easier for the casual viewer to be interested in

@@billcipher3946 Depends, I reckon. Some fighters are great at playing the heel like Chael, Conor and Colby.

Man this small min-docu was nothing short of amazing! Thank you
I feel bad for Jorge, he really seems hurt. Anyway, one has to admire Colby, so much effort, he definitely deserves to be a champion.
Yeah your best friend turns on youd be hurt too
@@MrSturdystratus well obviously, that's why he said he felt bad for Jorge. It's a shame that things happened like that but Colby did what he had to do to save his career and make a real living for himself. I just hope that him and Jorge are faking really well. Otherwise, I hope they become friends again once they eventually fight
@DK yeah I do agree in a sense. But at the same time, I would think that it was clear it was part of his act but at the same time, if Jorge was really hurt by it, it was uncalled for by Colby not to prewarn Jorge about it. But I hope deep down that they're in it together just playing an act together
My favorite MMA KZheadr right now, love these!
Man you could see the hurt in masvidals eyes when he first heard CC go Judas. But then at the same time you sort of understand he had to do what he had to do to survive the game. He had to go all in even if that meant losing a brother.
Great story I’m just getting into ufc and getting to know the fighters and I’ve been missing out for a while I’m a huge wrestling fan since 97 and feel like I know everything in and out of the ring and ufc is like a breath of fresh air
Colby applied what he learned in college to literally save his career. Shame on the UFC for almost cutting Colby off because they thought he was "boring." As for Masvidal, the dude was obviously hurt. In his eyes, his facial reaction and can even hear him saying "ouch.." softly at around 14:31. It's hard not to feel sympathy for these two. Colby vs Masvidal definitely needs to happen.
The dude explains it in the video people didnt care about it not ufc's fault rather what people actually find enjoying.
@@phoenixstevens3535 I'm aware what the dude in the video explained, it's up to the fans and not just the UFC. I mean the dude was winning most of his fights. My main point was it's fucked up is all. But hey that's the business. That's all the more reason why Masvidal VS Covington needs to happen. The fans want it since it's highly anticipated (makes a good story with the beef and all) and I'm confident the UFC will make some good money off of it.
@@Luminary45 Agree
Why Shane the ufc ? It's literally a business it's goal is to make money
@@maysae.2010 I know, I said it's up to both UFC and the fans in my reply above
Tbh huge respect to Colby he was smart enough to re invent himself in a single day and propelled himself to the top of his sport when alot of people would have been crushed by the news he managed to turn it all to his advantage
But he's still an asshole...so he doesn't have my respect.
Respect? He legit betrayed his best friend
@@wattson3683 he betrayed his friend but you can always make more friends, the ufc opportunity is once in a life time sure its unethical but "its what sells", he didn't have to do masvidal like that tho that was unnecessary
@@wattson3683 bro his “best friend punched him in the back of the head so
@@wattson3683 From what I gather there were real problems between the 2 and neither were in the right
I can definitely tell you put a lot of work into these docs, big ups dude! 🤟🏼
The editing on these videos is f****** flawless
Man this is amongst the best videos iv seen in my life! Keep it up.
Woah! I guess it’s all downhill from here 😂
@@PatrickGavia hahahaha
have you never watched porn?
@@tart8228 He did say “keep it up.” So theres an Easter egg for ya. Ah ha.
@@PatrickGavia Kudos ma man keep doin... fighting 💗
I am disgusted by the actions, and admire him for succeeding through it all. I can’t imagine how hard it has been becoming the villain in peoples eyes. It’s sad we aren’t interested in the good guy if it isn’t sensational
Dan Hooker and Robert Whitaker
@@neilfairall7505 GSP is another good example! I’m not saying you can’t be good and succeed, just that Colby deserved more than Jake Paul or the like. But we love controversy too damn much. On a side note I’d argue all of these examples have a lot of fan support from their countries, their people are very patriotic about their athletes. In the USA we don’t give a damn about you until you have 5 Olympic gold medals or some other clout, so he didn’t stand out enough
i wanna be entertained tho idc if the dudes a good person i wanna enjoy the smack talk and reckless lifestyle its fun and what. i pay for if he dont like it leave and be a monk in china lol this is america
@@cuneyt3830 Agreed. These commenters act all shocked that people aren't interested in watching some goody-two-shoes fight
Nah. I believe they are still friend secretly
Where's the Tip jar?!! This is an EPIC video! You're a super talent Patrick Gavia! Great, great job my friend 👏
You got yourself a Patron!
Please DON'T STOP RECORDING THOSE VIDEOS, they are freaking amazing! Congrats!
Even as a Colby fan, the last 5 minutes broke my heart. I hope it's part of the act.
Anyone that would turn on their friend like that ; act or not, needs to seriously examine their priorities in life. Very lonely place.
@@sethheath9568 colby says Jorge was using him, Jorge said colby was using him. I think there's more to this story
@@sethheath9568 where was Jorge when Colby was about to get released
@@uk2215 how could jorge help him there ? Thats the ufc stoopit arse its got hee haw to dae way masvidal are you really that daft mate ?
@@scarletpimpernel388 Ok don’t call someone daft when your dodging the question where was he in Brazil when he was about to get released he was no where to be seen even tho he was there in every single on of his last fights
Colby has a degree in sociology, hes literally the best qualified to get in your head, he knows exactly how and what pisses someone off
He’s actually really bad at it 😂 if anyone Conor or Chael would seem like they study sociology
@@ComeAndSee101 you guys are thinking of psychology lmao sociology is what he’s doing pretty good at his character and his behavior.
@@ComeAndSee101 mcgregor and chael get in other fighters heads colby isn’t trying to do that, colby is trying to get in the fans head
@@jacobcasey5202 that's the sociology part!
@@jacobcasey5202 you just explained the difference between psychology and sociology as it pertains to this situation. Conor and chael get in the opponent's head and gained fans as a result, a single person's head. Colby influences the masses, the fans , and love him or hate him hes a damn good polarizing figure
Patrick, please share the scores u use on your videos man, they are amazing. Love ur work
Great video. I think it started as an act, but when you act a certain way long enough, people start to treat you like that character that you're playing. After being treated like the character he was playing for so long, and reacting as that character, I think he's actually started to believe it. When you argue a certain point long enough, whether or not you believed it to start with, you will eventually start to blur that line and become that other character in certain aspects. It's sad to see what happened though, knowing this isn't the route he initially wanted, but wound up being pushed towards. At the end of the day, it was his decision to take it to the extent that he did. Congrats to him on his career, seems like he worked hard for it, but I can't respect his decisions.
Phenomenal job, keep crushing it!
Incredible video. Just beautifully done
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM I support BLM and antifa. I do not support right wing terrorism
I was actually offended af when he insulted my country Brazil but he is actually amazing as a fighter and I forgive him because of what I’ve heard him say here. He did it to save his career. I can’t be mad at him.
To play devil's advocate, wasn't the crowd basically yelling at him "to die?"
@@DPham1 look at Jared Connier response to the Brazilian crowd. Everyone gets boos from the Brazilian crowd but don’t piss them off even more 🤦♂️
@@duduu8130 Naw. If you can dish it out, then you can take it.
Glad you're open minded. A lot of people can't say the same. Other Brazilians heard that and are still hating him for that. But if Brazilians can hate on Americans and hate specifically white Americans, then they shouldn't get too offended when someone else hates on you.
@@DPham1 2 wrongs don’t make a right. Also Brazilians don’t have hatred for white people, they’re just extremely passionate by express this by booing the fuck out of the non Brazilian fighter. Like I said look at the Connier vs Silva fight. Countries do this: when GSP fought in Montreal/Toronto, Sheilds, Condit, Serra and Nick Diaz booed AS FUCK! That’s just one example. In Brazil they literally do city marches and parties for new champs (Glover, Olivera). And like I said they r hostile to non Brazilians but that isn’t a reason to piss them off further.
This is a well made Documentary dude.... Well done guys!
now that this fight is confirmed ive never been more sure of the fact that this fight will be like no other fight we have seen before. This fight cuts deeper than skill vs skill and i think no matter what this fight will be emotional for both men inside and outside of the cage. This fight will settle a real feud that cuts deeper then a ufc ranking and a paycheck. Its gonna be crazy.
Epic that it is happening but Colby is embarassing that guy.
Or it’s all a front for both of them to get paid bigger than ever
@@kenzopeypers738 all you dudes saying this said the same for Amanda Peña I guarantee it lmao. It’s mma dude. Anything can happen. You don’t know as much as you think you do.
@@robtothejuice We probably did yeah LOL. But i can pickl a fight right? You'll see my man.
It’s a grudge match with real personal things involved can’t wait to see this match
Honestly this video was really well put together. 10/10. From the music playing in the background in some scenes to the fact that you used so many content of Colby & Jorge's relationship of them coming up together. I just subscribed to this channel and will be looking forward to more videos like this in the future 👏🏼
Man this channel is insane, second time watching this video 🔥🔥
Inspired 💪🏽💪🏽…… you make the KZhead video alwyassssss 👏🏽👏🏽
He's a very intelligent guy and as far as I'm feeling, he's actually a really nice guy and probably hates his character, but he has a lifetime to apologise and show his true colours, kudos to him.
Did you not see Masvidal's reaction to Colby randomly talking bad about him, bro ruined a friendship for money
@@ZakiBTW thing is how do you survive in the US without money, Covington had to make a creative decision in order to entertain fans, he was clever he knew being controversial puts bums on seats and sells PVPs,
@@petershortland478 u realize he didn't need to say anything about masvidal his beef with kamaru and rda made a lot more until now
@@petershortland478 People are not saying he should have never done the character but he should have played it differently with Masvidal. He could have been respectful and still kept up all the other antics he does. That would have made the character more believable too. Especially if he went right back to being an asshole to the next guy he fought. Instead of fans clearly seeing through the bullshit of him verbally attacking a friend that's been helping him for years, just for the bad guy character he plays, he could have said that he respects Masvidal but he's the better fighter and he'll beat him in the ring. Him acting the exact same way over and over no matter if there's real beef with his opponent or if it's an actual friend, makes the character extremely 2 dimensional and anyone other than kids got bored with it very quickly.
@BadBoyWillieBill they literally lived together and masvidal says he's his best friend lol wym wasn't that tight
Colby strikes me as someone who’s post-career life be very similar to the ending of The Social Network. He made it in life, but burned bridges with everyone who cared about him along the way.
that’s a very good analysis
No he didn't he loves and takes care of his family very much. He had a goal and while I really hate that him and masvidal went out like that which was Colby's fault I can tell Colby is a good dude that did what it took to gain success. What I can see happening with him is he gains the world and realizes it's not worth losing his soul and he repents for things he did because for some reason I feel like Jesus has much bigger plans for him. I also wouldn't be shocked if the relationship with he and masvidal was rekindled through Christ all things are possible and I know Masvidal understand that truth.
@@jbh8192 the fuck
@@Oceanspray600 Do you react the same way when a Jew or a Muslim refers to something through their own lens? 🤣 The comment isn't that weird, this person is religious.
nah man his not getting into peoples business and sharing it with a machine that is designed to fuck you
The Coby Masvidal story makes me sad af. I still hope that both of them will become brothers again.
Nah Colby is a fucking bum who will sell his close friends out for a stupid gimmick to racists.
This is a quality work bro.
This perfectly documented the Friendship/Rivalry between the 2. For the people in MMA who already knew the situation, has already pieced together all these clips on their own, watching multiple videos. This is a quick one stop shop that makes it easy to watch and digest. Hope this blows up and goes viral. 👍🏽
Damn, this really broke my heart watching, they were so close. Deep inside I hope this is just an act and Masvidal is in on it. Very well made video - so much clips and content I had never seen before that made me even more invested in this fight.
I believe that's the situation. Good on both men.. making huge money.
Most likely is fake beef it’s been said in the video he just does it to sell and promote and he’s a character, so their beef has to be an act
Off course its made up :)
@@ElGuapo408_ Still think it’s fake?
@@kieranm2855 After seeing Masvidal cry I think most people think their beef is real.
One of the best videos I've invested my time watching! Thank you.
The quick success you found on KZhead isn't a fluke. I'm generally not a big fan of new media, most of it is even worse than old media. Your content is excellent.
It's definitely always been an act. He's admitted it in interviews (some were featured here) and he admits it to fans one on one. Guy gets a lot of heat but that's because he intentionally started a few fires.
Put it this way! If Colby Covington didn't turn heel in the UFC, he wouldn't be in the UFC.
@@roythousand13 got to do what you got to do to feed your family
@@boondoc2852 ,facts!
If he work in pro wrestling then i think there's a safety net between his public persona and real character. But i doubt there's a safety net for him in real combat sport. If he's not careful then i fear that fake persona might bled into his real character
@@antokarman2064 , I understand what you are saying, but it appears that behind the scenes, Colby is actually a good guy.
After watching this, I'm wondering if these guys are still best friends and this is a just an elaborated plan to create one of the biggest anticipated matchup in UFC's history.
Nah this shit is real. Colby in his bid to become a controversial fighter took things too far and questioned their friendship. Masvidal must be feeling betrayed. This is the real grudge match everyone wants to see. Khabib and Conor’s beef was borne out of competition. Can’t wait for this fight!
Majestyc Channel. Incredible production ❤️
Another killer video brother keep it up 👌
This is honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen! The production quality, music, great choice of clips and editing. Really great job and you’ve gained a new sub🙌🏼
Top Content! Honestly would love something like this for big main event All the time! 10/10 content!
That's what I'm aiming for! Ideally release one doc per big main event during fight week. Most of those guys have incredibly stories.
@@PatrickGavia you're what the mma community needs. I'll donate to your pateron if you have one.
@@PatrickGavia you should release a docu type video on Dustin Poirier by next week. It’s gonna blow up man
I have watched this video over so many times great video
It's really sad to see a friendship forged in the fire suddenly turn into a bitter rivalry. Colby has some past hurts he hasn't dealt with that make him burn bridges with everyone and I believe he feels like the fans also turned him into what he is now because he didn't get much credit before but now... Right next to entertainment, people do love controversy, don't we. What a sad world.
The person I feel for the most is Masvidal, he lost so much, lost trust in his judgment, friend, brother, confidence in his ability to see who his true friends are, trust in people, trust in the people he is close with all because Colby wanted to be a star a villain. Colby lost too but Jorge lost the most. I feel sad for Jorge, especially when he first heard his friend talking about him. That was the saddest I seen Jorge when he first heard that audio he pretends to be shocked and cringed but he was so hurt. Fuck man.
i agree
its a show bro,drama sells,ufc is rigged ,mite aswell be wwe at this point
@@whatevayalike yeah you’re right, I’m aware but the difference is this is real life he really lost a friend and was deceived. this really happened.
It crushed him……😢I felt bad that he had to go through this.
@@-tee--bee-3230 you can tell it did. Colby blindsided him. Colby messed up a good friendship.
nobody brings it home like….. patrick gavia ❤️❤️
Great vid dude
This was really well done; love how it shows both sides of these guys and how it delves into the psychological aspect of mma and the way it gets reactions out of people. Props for putting out some great stuff.
Thanks for putting all this into one video. So that people know who Covington really is. Brilliant work. I got introduced to Colby as a bad guy. But his fights blew my mind away. Doing some research I came to know who he actually is. And that made me a fan of him. He's a good guy acting like a bad guy. A rebel who was born ..when the company failed to acknowledge his honest work. Even DC is so biased during commentary against him. I will always be a fan of his work.
Same 💯
yeah DC is biased period
Have you heard the actual shit he says? talking about people's children, parents, what kind of act is that? Conor did not even go that far. smfh. Stop with this.
@@optikalillusion777 how else would you go viral. The fact that you even are disgusted of him proves it that he did the right thing
@@optikalillusion777 I don’t know why you’d be so butthurt over a persona. But like the other dude said, the fact that you’re triggered means he did a good job.
Great job with the video
I honestly feel bad for Colby. He's a great fighter and athlete that was forced to become the vilan. You can tell he's not like that
Definitely the best video I’ve watched all year! Already knowing the context of the entire situation going on between Jorge & Colby is one thing, but the way you put this video together was a thing of beauty. I knew from the beginning what Colby was doing, it’s just like WWE. Him saying the UFC was getting ready to cut him only confirmed my thoughts on him just simply playing the heel role to keep his UFC career alive and become a bigger draw and I can’t knock him for it. Respect
Colby Covington is an absolute inspiration for hard work and true dedication.
And selling out. "Hate the game..."
Maybe for you...
