UFC’s Colby Covington continues to wage war against NBA superstar LeBron James. Over the years, Covington has been critical of LeBron and even challenged him to an MMA fight.
“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…”F–k you, Lebron James, you’re a coward. You’re a spineless coward, and you’re a b—-.” said Covington before his UFC 296 fight last December.
On Wednesday, Covington met with the media ahead of his UFC Tampa fight against Joaquin Buckley, and he immediately started trashing LeBron by referencing the Lakers star’s old tweet about going to Diddy parties.
“I wanna ask LeBron, what does he mean by ‘There’s no party like a Diddy party?…LeBron how many Diddy parties have you actually been to”
“LeBron you’re a f—-ing scumbag and I hope you get locked up in the same cell with Diddy.”

LeBron you’re a f***ing scumbag and I hope you get locked up in the same cell with Diddy.”
