      benadryl cabbagepatch Theyre literally the same name in different language... thats why you hear Askren and others calling him George in English instead of “horhay.” But spelling the name should be how its really spelled.. because there could be someone named George Masdival.... but you dont know this.. of course Jorge is the Spanish way of pronouncing the English name George...

      Colby needs to drop the shtick and maybe people would like him more. Trash talk is lame. Respect is a true fighters currency. And masvidal is rolling in it after this video.

    Reminds of the movie blow..When the imprisoned son recorded a voice message for his dying dad. It was really sad. Good for Jorge that his story is better.
