This weekend Colby Covington defeated Tyron Woodley in the main event of UFC Vegas 11. Both before and after the fight, Covington made statements associating the Black Lives Matter movement with terrorism. Covington also called Woodley a terrorist, for supporting that movement.
In his post-fight press conference Covington told the assembled media the following:
“The Black Lives Matter is a complete sham. It’s a joke. They’re taking these people that are complete terrorists. They’re taking these people that that are criminals. These aren’t people that are hardworking Americans, blue-collar Americans. These are bad people.
