Colby Covington is officially back and he’s talking trash.
During the main event at UFC Vegas 12, Covington dominated his fight against Tyron Woodley which ended when Woodley tapped out after appearing to injure a rib.
Covington wins via TKO in the fifth. Looks like Woodley hurt a rib. He tapped. He’s lying on the mat and isn’t moving.

While speaking to Jon Anik after the fight, Covington wanted to thank first responders and blasted “woke athletes” like the “spineless coward” LeBron James.

I want to dedicate this fight to all the first responders and all the military out there, this world would not be safe without you, and not these woke athletes I’m sick of spineless cowards like Lebron James
Covington went on to call out Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman in a WWE-style promo before walking off.
