Colby Covington, a UFC fighter who is an outspoken supporter of Donald engaged in a heated post fight exchange with welterweight champ Kamaru Usman, who was born in Nigeria.
Covington asked Usman if he got a call from his “little tribe” using “smoke signals.”
He also described Tyrone Woodley, who is Black and has been advocating for Black Lives Matter, as “a communist, a Marxist, and someone standing up for lifelong criminals.”
UFC president Dana White said his promotion will not “muzzle anybody” when he was asked yesterday about his early reaction.
AJ Springer, a Journalist and owner of Springer Communications and Andreas Hale, Senior Editor for Combat Sports spoke withe Roland Martin during Friday’s edition of #RMU about Covington’s remarks and about how the UFC’s Dana White has failed to address the incendiary rhetoric being spewed by the fighter.
