Lil Pump Brutally Choked Out By MAGA UFC Fighter

by

Lil Pump had a huge rise to fame back in 2017, however, since that time, his music has certainly fallen off in terms of popularity. However, he has been able to maintain his relevancy thanks to his devotion to former President Donald Trump. Pump infamously went on stage during a Trump rally in 2020, only to be called “Lil Pimp.” Subsequently, Pump has continued to cape for Trump and now that the former President is running for office again, the rapper has been showing his face everywhere.

In fact, Lil Pump has been spending a lot of time with other figures who have made their entire personality the MAGA movement. One such person is UFC fighter Colby Covington. Covington is known for walking out to fights in a MAGA hat. Furthermore, he has even had Trump and figures like Candace Owens at his fights. As you can see down below, Pump got into the Octagon with Covington. However, with consent, Pump got absolutely demolished thanks to a chokehold.

Pump tapped out numerous times, however, Covington kept going and eventually knocked Pump out cold. This made for a viral clip of sorts that ultimately made the rounds on social media. For Covington, it was a bad look and for Pump, it was even worse. It just goes to show that at this stage, he is simply just looking to farm clout, by any means necessary. It’s not surprising in the least but, but it doesn’t stop being at least a little embarrassing.

Jorge Masvidal Teases Boxing & MMA Comeback

by

Jorge Masvidal has laid out his return to comeback to combat sports in a conversation with ESPN. “All I could tell you is I’m getting ready for some type of combat and it’s gonna be in the boxing realm. I don’t know this or that or who it’s going to be,” Masvidal told the outlet this week. Furthermore, Masvidal expressed a desire to return to MMA, naming Justin Gaethje and Colby Covington as potential opponents.

Masvidal has been out of the sport since his loss to Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 last year. In the subsequent year, Masvidal has teased a boxing match against former MMA opponent Nate Diaz. He has also worked as a promoter for his own MMA promotion, Gamebred Bareknuckle. Gamebred has an event this week, which Masvidal has invited streamer N3on to broadcast from.

Jorge Masvidal Claims Police Were Biased Against Him

Masvidal’s retirement was also marked by an ongoing beef with Covington. Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington outside a Miami Beach restaurant 17 days after he lost to Covington at UFC 272. Footage of the incident quickly emerged online and Masvidal was charged with two felonies. Furthermore, Covington has claimed Masvidal broke his tooth and gave him brain damage.

However, according to court documents from last April, Masvidal claimed that the Miami Beach Police Department showed “favoritism” towards Covington. According to Masvidal, Covington did not call 911 but a Miami Beach sergeant he trained with. Additionally, Masvidal claimed that when said sergeant arrived, he called in a “Code 3”. Code 3 is a police response code for an incident that “is defined as an emergency response determined by factors such as immediate danger to officer or public safety.” He also alleges that the unnamed sergeant made calls to individual officers to request their presence. Furthermore, Masvidal claims that in a podcast appearance prior to the incident, Covington said that he “rolls with the Miami Beach Police Department.”

Donald Trump Lusts Over Ring Girl At UFC 296

by

Donald Trump was one of the more high-profile guests at UFC 296 in Las Vegas on Saturday night (December 16). He was there to support Colby Covington, who is a big supporter of his campaign and politics, but who ultimately lost in the main event to Leon Edwards by decision. However, it seems like the disgraced former president had other things on his mind, too, as he was very distracted by the ring girl who took to the ring in a bikini. In pictures obtained by TMZ you can see him stare up at her as he waited for the next fight, one of which was a brutal knockout from Josh Emmett to Bryce Mitchell.

Furthermore, No. 45 is keeping up with these public appearances amid his ongoing presidential campaign and multiple indictments and criminal cases. Previously, he announced plans to attend the South Carolina and Clemson football game back in late November. Donald Trump never shies away from his sports fandom for better or worse, as they always cause a ruckus for people’s support or dismissal. Unfortunately, it seems like all his wrongdoing isn’t slowing down public interest in his antics… as you can tell.

Jorge Masvidal Puts Colby Covington Assault Case To Bed

by

Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington got into a pretty gnarly situation after the two fought in the Octagon for real. Overall, it did not end well for either party. On one end, you had Covington who lost a tooth and who was concussed. Meanwhile, Masvidal was charged with aggravated assault and criminal mischief charges. Needless to say, this was not a good look for Masvidal, who had just lost his fight. Now, however, there is a new development in the case that is good for Gamebred.

According to TMZ, Jorge Masvidal will not face any punishment for what took place. There will be no jail time, and additionally, there will be no probation. By pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery, the MMA star was able to get his two previous charges scrubbed from the record. While Masvidal has not claimed guilt in this, guilt will appear on his record. Effectively, that is the only punishment that the fighter has to face.

Jorge Masvidal Alleges Police Sided With Covington

by

The aftermath of the altercation between MMA stars Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington in March 2022 has slowly unfolded over recent months. According to reports, Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington outside a Miami Beach restaurant 17 days after he lost to Covington at UFC 272. Footage of the incident quickly emerged online and Masvidal was charged with two felonies.

More details have since surfaced. Covington has claimed Masvidal broke his tooth and gave him brain damage. Covington has not fought in the Octagon since his March 2022 bout with Masvidal. However, he is rumored to be the next opponent for welterweight champion Leon Edwards. All this comes during a legal battle for Masvidal, who pled not guilty to both charges. Masvidal has also since retired, following a brutal loss at UFC 287. However, Masvidal has now hit back with new claims about the incident.

New Court Documents Show New Masvidal Claim

According to court documents acquired by TMZ, Masvidal has made some bombshell claims regarding the March 2022 incident. Notably, he has claimed that the Miami Beach Police Department showed “favoritism” towards Covington. According to Masvidal, Covington did not call 911 but a Miami Beach sergeant he trained with. Additionally, Masvidal claimed that when said sergeant arrived, he called in a “Code 3”. Code 3 is a police response code for an incident that “is defined as an emergency response determined by factors such as immediate danger to officer or public safety.” He also alleges that the unnamed sergeant made calls to individual officers to request their presence. Furthermore, Masvidal claims that in a podcast appearance prior to the incident, Covington said that he “rolls with the Miami Beach Police Department.”

As a result of the new claims, Masvidal’s attorney Bradford Cohen is making several demands. He wants several new pieces of evidence, including Covington’s podcast comments, entered into the court record. In a statement Cohen said, “From our investigation and witness depositions it’s clear that protocol was not followed that evening and Mr. Covington received preferential treatment.” These shocking claims, to which the MBPD had not responded to at the time of writing, could completely redefine Masvidal’s legal proceedings. Masvidal is due to next appear in court in May.
