Colby Covington, a UFC fighter who is an outspoken supporter of Donald engaged in a heated post fight exchange with welterweight champ Kamaru Usman, who was born in Nigeria.
Covington asked Usman if he got a call from his “little tribe” using “smoke signals.”
He also described Tyrone Woodley, who is Black and has been advocating for Black Lives Matter, as “a communist, a Marxist, and someone standing up for lifelong criminals.”
UFC president Dana White said his promotion will not “muzzle anybody” when he was asked yesterday about his early reaction.
AJ Springer, a Journalist and owner of Springer Communications and Andreas Hale, Senior Editor for Combat Sports spoke withe Roland Martin during Friday’s edition of #RMU about Covington’s remarks and about how the UFC’s Dana White has failed to address the incendiary rhetoric being spewed by the fighter.

Don’t fall or BLM agenda look deep into it follow the money
Someone count how many times they say the word “Racist” or “Racism.”
Dana white supports Donald chump
big baby
deleted my comment
Basically this man is saying you are UN-AMERICAN IF YOU PROTEST‼️ NOT American if you don’t support a president w/authoritarian & fascist tendencies‼️ We hate America because we don’t appreciate our people being murdered‼️ I don’t get the Communist comment. I think you should ask YOUR president about that‼️ He seems to cuddle up close to Vladimir Putin‼️
I think this guy has gotten struck far too many times in the head OR he has made so much money that he does give a damn & will say anything. He THINKS he will be ok.
Nobody was checking for his fights….he needed to jump on the Trump train to Garner followers PERIOD.
It’s all documented and UFC LOADED WITH RACISTS
BOYCOTT UFC
This is part of fighting. Its fight hype Roland
Too many punches in the head. He clearly has no idea what Communism and is simply parroting buzz words. YOU BIG DUMMY as Fred Sanford would say.
I call on a warrior from our diaspora to rise up and muzzle this racist punk Colby, by choking him out in the ring.
Tyrone got beat because he’s a Marxist.
Another brother is going to wire Colby mouth again.
White…covington..trump…standing in a circle….vienna sausages in hand…feeding each other….saying to each other “hey baby..would you like some mayo with that” colbys would of been great in the Gestapo…
Nothing new he let connor McGregor do the same thing. McGregor got his ass beat by the last 2 folks he spoke down on for their culture and or religion though so if Dana allows bullying he let’s those guys get beat as they deserve. TMT didnt give a f nor did they brother that got his bus attacked.
Another grifter using the Republican play form to pad his pocket…he did this same thing last year just before a fight and even brought up Trump’s “shithole country” comment, all it did was ensure him an ass whipping and a broken jaw by the NIGERIAN American he was fighting!
Calling BLM a terrorist organization is not Racist. Cmon y’all wake up. All I hear from y’all is crying.
This dude already been busted by 2 friends that took care of him when they were coming up in the UFC. They put out a video showing HE’S ACTING.. He says that Dana White likes entertainment so that’s what I’m doing, entertaining because he didn’t take notice when I was myself.. F*** him!
There is more of a diversity in the U.S., the racist should leave the country! Russia has all that land they will be able to colonize.
He’s just doing it to get attention no one knew who he was until he started that mags shit and when trump is gone he will disappear as well
Roland do catch a attitude with ya staff like that
In America stupidity is rewarded and ignorance is a way of life this man is afflicted with cognitive dissonance as are the masses
Well let one of those brothers break his jaw again. Plus Danna white is a major Trump supporter anyway
It’s funny how they can grow around until black people don’t say nothing but then they got the right to say whatever the hell they want to say but we supposed to shut up come on many people are hypocrites big-time
He didn’t say anything racist. FYI
Dana white has always been a racist
He needs to SHUT UP
Dana White is nothing more than a wannabe fake tough guy racist as well.
*Bring em out Bring em out* I would prefer them to be overt rather than be covert with their racism.
kkkolby brain got scrambled one too many times
Did you guys say anything when Hopkins said to calzaghe I will never be beat by a white person.the door only swings 1 way in your eyes
Dana White is full of shit. Shortly after the gay marriage laws were passed Yoel Romero complained about it and Dana White immediately silenced him and said his fighters did not need to involve themselves in politics.
The dude is a fuckin troll.
Dana White is up Trumps ass ever since Trump came to one of the UFC events.
Not just BLM, All lives matter as well!!!
dammm colby got ur ass, your doing exactly what he wants. dudes a genius
Didn’t that trump shit get his jaw broken? He needs to go sit his ass down
