Covington on ‘embarrassing’ crowd commotion at UFC 241: ‘These guys wanna act like street thugs’

Colby Covington’s self-marketing tactics have brought him a lot of heat. According to UFC president Dana White, “Chaos” also had a big target on him as he sat in the audience at UFC 241 last week.

“Everybody in that section kept fighting with Colby,” White said during the post-fight presser. “So security kept coming over to me 50 times to get him out of there. And I said, ‘No, everybody needs to start acting like f—king professionals because I don’t have another seat in this entire building. That whole section needs to stop starting fights with Colby.
