Colby Covington “would tear LeBron James” if they fight in UFC, claims Darren Till

At UFC Vegas 11, Colby Covington defeated Tyron Woodley in an impressive manner and wasted to time in taking a shot at a number of people, including LA Lakers star LeBron James. A couple of days ago, LeBron James and a host of NBA players protested the shooting of Jacob Blake, who was shot by a police officer in Wisconsin just weeks after George Floyd's death. Colby Covington dedicated his win to the first responders while taking a dig at LeBron James and other athletes, calling LeBron a “coward”. “You keep us safe, not these woke athletes. I’m sick of these woke athletes and these spineless cowards like LeBron James,” Colby Covington.
