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 Lakersâsuperstar 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 âwoke athletesâ before closing out his statement with:âIâm sick of these spineless cowards like LeBron Jamesâ.
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 couldnât handle him in the ring for 10 seconds.
James didnât hesitate to hit back at the fighter by claiming that âanybody can talk from outside but if they got into the ring or got into the arena, probably 10 times out of 10, theyâd sât their pants.â
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 âF-ck LeBronâ on an Instagram post.
âCongrats LeBron James, congrats on setting the record for the least-watched NBA finals in the history, When everybodyâs sick, you hope bulls**t. While NBA ratings are down, UFC is up, just like our bank account,â Covington said.
James is coming off winning his 4th NBA Championship and 4th Finals MVP and was spotted celebrating in Las Vegas, so itâs unlikely that heâs going to respond to Covingtonâs remarks. Then again, we can definitely be sure that the fighter isnât going to let this feud go any time soon and will make the most of every chance he has to get some clout at Jamesâexpense.
