UFC’s Colby Covington is still not a fan of LeBron James. On Friday, LeBron went viral when he confronted ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith during a Lakers game.
According to Smith, LeBron was angry about Bronny being criticized on First Take.
“That was LeBron James coming up to me, unexpectedly, I might add, to confront me about making sure I mind what I say about his son.” That wasn’t a basketball player confronting me, that was a parent, that was a father. I can’t sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in that regard.
“By all accounts, he’s obviously a wonderful family man and father who cares very, very deeply about his son, and based on some of the comments he had heard or shall I say I think he thought he heard, clearly took exception to some of the things he heard me say, and he confronted me about it.”

Covington was asked about LeBron’s confrontation with Smith, and the UFC fighter dared the NBA star to try that with him.
“It’s America, freedom of speech, f’n LeBron. Do you not realize we have constitutional amendments for a reason.”
“F–k LeBron James you b—h ass motherf—-r. Come see a real ass motherf—-g OG and get your ass knocked the f–k out without your private security”
