Dana White on Colby Covington’s recent comments: ‘I don’t know if I heard anything racist that he said’

Colby Covington has a tendency to kick the hornet’s nest with almost everything he says, and there was no exception to that rule after his latest win at UFC Vegas 11.

Following a lopsided victory over longtime rival Tyron Woodley in the main event, Covington got into a heated war of words with UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman during the post-fight show.

The exchange went back and forth after Covington had already accepted a call from President Donald Trump just before he started engaging with Usman. That’s when Covington took aim at Usman by referencing his native Nigeria.
