And Pimblett in the post-fight press conference blasted Colby Covington for his comments on Edwards’ late father.
“You don’t speak about people’s dead relatives. You know what I mean.”
He continued, “I’d never ever mentioned someone’s dead relative. If someone mentioned anything about my Nan or Grandma, I’d kick them in the face.”
“So I understand Leon throwing a bottle at him. Like I wish Leon would’ve snapped his jaw then. So that we had to get it wired shut for saying something like that.”
The Anthony Edwards is deeply sorry for encouraging an Instagram model to get an abortion . Well, he’s sorry she told everyone about it. Paige Jordae exposed the Minnesota Timberwolves guard in a series of text message screenshots on Sunday. In the texts, she tells Edwards she is pregnant and has an appointment to see a doctor.
