UFC fighter Colby Covington has never shied away from voicing his political views or call out, well, pretty much every single person on earth, including Los Angeles Lakers’superstar LeBron James, one of the most notorious political activists in sports.
Covington took a massive shot at LeBron James after his last fight, saying that he was sick of the ‘woke athletes’ before closing out his statement with:“I’m sick of these spineless cowards like LeBron James”.
His words caused a huge turmoil on social media and instead of shying away or taking his words back, he doubled-down on his take by saying that James couldn’t handle him in the ring for 10 seconds.
James didn’t hesitate to hit back at the fighter by claiming that “anybody can talk from outside but if they got into the ring or got into the arena, probably 10 times out of 10, they’d s—t their pants.”
Colby Covington Reignites Feud With LeBron James With ANSFW Shirt
And now that the NBA season is over and both athletes are entirely focused on the upcoming election on November 3rd, Colby Covington decided to light the fire again by wearing a shirt that read “F-ck LeBron” on an Instagram post.
“Congrats LeBron James, congrats on setting the record for the least-watched NBA finals in the history, When everybody’s sick, you hope bulls**t. While NBA ratings are down, UFC is up, just like our bank account,” Covington said.
James is coming off winning his 4th NBA Championship and 4th Finals MVP and was spotted celebrating in Las Vegas, so it’s unlikely that he’s going to respond to Covington’s remarks. Then again, we can definitely be sure that the fighter isn’t going to let this feud go any time soon and will make the most of every chance he has to get some clout at James’expense.
