      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!!! And yes that’s just in my opinion.

      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

      If you rewind the clock 4 years ago.. All Lambert did was say this guys the future. He asked Colby to join the gym to teach everyone how to wrestle including MASVIDAL. Who couldn't wrestle at all till Colby taught him. Colby would wrestle with Masvidal for 8 hours straight sometimes literally. They trained harder together probably more then anyone in the league. I watched all the videos together Masvidal n the whole gym owe Colby.

    Low key this interview makes Jorge Masvidal look like a liar. There’s various points where Dan unintentionally fact checked colby and Colby’s story checks out more than Jorge’s. 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
