Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington chaotically fires up at Jon Anik, a reporter. Covington was the backup fight for the main event: Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards 3, and once this was publicly seen, fans and critics had a lot to say, but Jon Anik wrote nothing intimidating.
Colby threatened him because he wasn’t happy with him, saying that Belal Muhammed deserved to be the backup option for the welterweight title fight. Here’s what Jon Anik said on twitter: “Understand acutely why Colby Covington was the back-up but hard not to feel for @bullyb170!
9-fight unbeaten streak. Hasn't lost in 4-plus years. Just KO'd a previously undefeated fighter. The man deserves his respect and I don't say that b/c he hosts a podcast w/ my twin bro”. .
Here’s how Colby Covington responded
Colby Covington lashed out in a very unprofessional manner and said things that he really shouldn’t have.
“But then you want to go back behind the stage and cheerlead for a racist. So he associates with racism and Belal Muhammad," said covington as quoted by foxnews.com "And, you know, Jon Anik, dude, I don’t want your kids to grow up without a dad.
Just realize you live in Boca, I live in Miami, mother------. You’re not too far from me. So you better shut your f--ing mouth. You poke the bear? Now you get the bear comes after you." It has been a year since Colby Covington last fought in the ring, and now he’s looking forward to getting a title shot against Leon Edwards, but the current UFC welterweight champion does not agree with fighting him next as he spoke about this in The MMA hour.
“Listen, he [Colby Covington] ain’t getting a title shot next fight. Look at the road I had to take to get there. There’s no way you’re getting beat twice by the guy that I just beat twice, went out and beat Masvidal, and then sit out for a year and a half, not even tweeting or nothing, just go missing for a year, and then randomly pops up at the weigh-ins and it’s like, ‘OK, he’s fighting for the title next.’ It makes no sense at all, so let’s see how it plays out.
He has to go out there and earn his way like I had to do”. (Image source: The Guardian/Heavy.com)
