Despite “Chaos” first focusing on “Rocky,” Covington targeted Lebron James, whom he had previously publicly criticized.
However, seemingly unrelated to anything in this specific case, Covington stated,
“If you hate America so much and you don’t like this country that gave you a billion dollars, leave it or come deal with me. Go to China, go to the sweatshops where you employ all these labourers.”

“Use these women and pay them pennies on the dollar to make your millions. F*ck you, Lebron James, you’re a coward. You’re a spineless coward and you’re a b****.”
To put things in perspective, LBJ was present during his son Bronny’s first appearance following a cardiac arrest. Regretfully, he happened to arrive during the playing of the national anthem.
Instead of stopping, he kept walking in and found a seat. James had severe blowback as a result of this incident, which was caught on tape, and became viral online.

Zero respect for the country that gave him the opportunity to be a basketball star.
Zero respect for the country that allowed him to become a billionaire.

“Chaos” last made an appearance in the UFC more than a year and a half ago. His last encounter took place at UFC 272 when he lost to Jorge Masvidal. In the midst of thanking police enforcement and the armed forces, Colby Covington publicly attacked LeBron James, calling him a coward. He says,
“I want to say a big thank you to the real heroes and celebrities in this country. Not that woke, spineless coward like LeBron James. I’m talking about our heroes, law enforcement, the military, our first responders. God bless you, God bless you all. God bless America.
Enes Kanter Freedom is fed up with LeBron:
"LeBron James will stand up for anyone who pays him the most money. If that was a Chinese national anthem, trust me, he would have stood up and put his hand on his heart." pic.twitter.com/cw8ZXbyn3H

What is Colby Covington’s fighting style?
Although Colby Covington’s trash talk is his most well-known trait, he possesses some exceptional octagon talents. Covington can work at a fast tempo and has good cardio, which enables him to attack opponents continuously by combining clinch and distance blows with his wrestling.
