UFC 296 star Colby Covington slammed Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James after he sat down during the National Anthem for his son Bronny’s collegiate basketball game.
On Wednesday, Covington, 35, addressed James, 38, in front of the media at the UFC’s Apex facility in Las Vegas before his title fight with welterweight champion Leon Edwards, according to the U.S. Sun.
“I’m gonna say one last thing, I’m gonna say one last thing to you guys. F**k LeBron James!” he said in a viral clip posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He continued, “If you hate America so much and you don’t like the country that gave you a billion dollars, leave it! Or come and deal with me.”
During his heated rant, Covington told James, “Go to China. Go to the sweatshops that you employ all these laborers and use these women and pays on the dollar to make your millions.”
“F**k you, . You’re a spineless coward and you’re a b***h,” he asserted.
