The Masvidal-Covington trash talk didn’t end at UFC 272. With “Gamebred” now facing his former roommate in the courtroom, rather than the Octagon, following Masvidal’s alleged assault on Covington at a Miami steakhouse, Jorge Masvidal’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, is throwing some serious shade at Colby “Chaos Covington”.
Among other things, Cohen is casting doubt on Covington’s version of events, including the veracity of his damaged Rolex watch and “mental capacity”. To start with, Cohen showed a photo of Colby’s chipped tooth, allegedly sustained during Masvidal’s assault.
Masvidal Attorney Doubts Colby’s “mental capacity”
“Interestingly, the images do not demonstrate an injury aside from a small chip in C.C.’s [Colby Covington’s] fake tooth.
The evidence collected thus far clearly contradicts C.C.’s allegations. C.C. claims that Defendant hit him from behind. Exclusive footage shows that during the incident, C.C. was facing the individual he identified as Defendant. In fact, C.C. was looking at Defendant head-on prior to taking the hit then appears to run from Defendant in fear.”
Covington is seeking compensation for damages to his supposedly $95,000.00 Rolex, which Cohen says is a “Folex”, or “Frankenstein Rolex”.
“This nickname indicates that a watch is composed of aftermarket parts including fake or knock-off Rolex parts and possibly real Rolex components — certainly negating the testimony that the watch is worth $95,000.00.
To calculate repair costs and extent of damage to C.C.’s FOLEX, the watch needs to be examined more closely to determine the true value of the watch.”
Cohen also rebuked Covington’s claims of a “brain injury”, citing Colby’s professional MMA career as a likelier culprit.
“Given the State and C.C.’s allegations — paired with the fact that C.C. is a professional fighter who is prone to repeated physical injury — Defendant requires access to C.C.’s prior medical records to properly defend himself against the charges in this matter.
Specifically, to ascertain how a single punch to C.C.’s jaw induced the brain damage when C.C.’s profession as a fighter exposes him to such injury periodically.
Given that the alleged injury is not only vague, but the victim here is a professional fighter, the undersigned notes that a mental examination may be needed due to the ambiguity of the allegations.
A mental examination may also be required to address if C.C. is competent to proceed in this matter or if he is rendered incompetent due to the nature of his ‘brain injury.’”
