Colby Covington Explains Why He Mentioned Leon Edwards Father

i wish people would do some research and bring up Colby's past, he was arrested for DUI in college and charged with 4th degree assault also... for someone who loves law enforcement he sure likes to keep them busy...

[@JaemanEdwards]

Those are crimes any self respecting dude should have on their resume you nerd.

[@delmarreyna]

Exactly

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

He was like 19, and he got kicked off the wrestling team for that. He also learned his lesson and never drank again aside from the occasional glass of wine with dinner. People get dui's and assault each other every day, but it's not everyone who trafficks humans and basically kills people for a living.... that's a little different you dopes. Colby also never hit and run a pregnant lady or assaulted a female, let alone his own wife 🤦 keep crying though 😂 💁

Why did Leon react like that in the first place? How can he respect his own dad if he did what was said? Thats the messed up part. Just because someone is my biological father or mother or brother it doesnt mean my automatic respect and love for them.

[@paypalmymoneydfs]

If your dad is a POS then he's rightfully in "hell", he abandoned Leon...

[@bheeshma8664]

[@raycutler2524]

​@@mrfatuchiLeon obviously doesn't respect who his dad was, but he still respects him in a way where he still raised leon. Leon said in Jamaica lots of killings happen and it's hard to not get caught up in it, that's how his father got involved. They later went to the uk and his dad left that life, but soon caught up to him. So it actually makes sense why Leon still respects him despite him being a gang member

@geetalk163 “You do not speak bad about dead people that is unwritten law” So by that logic no one should speak badly of Ted Bundy for example just because he is dead?

We are made by him, owned by him, dependent on him and therefore accountable to him. You may reject his offer of reconciliation and that is your right.
