Let me call a nut shot.’ The dude got hit in the liver and was ready to fold up like a lawn chair. Then, all of a sudden he wants to call a nut shot? That’s the fakest foul I’ve ever heard in all of fighting," stated Colby. "In the third round, ‘Marty Fakenewsman’ gets poked in the left eye. He’s holding his right eye. He’s selling to the doctor that, ‘Oh, my right eye. Oh, my right eye.’ Dude, you got poked in the left eye. What are you doing? You’re faker than fake.
