Has Colby actually said anything racist? I’m a brown minority in America and it’s not at all racist call people “filthy animals” on the mic when thousands of them are chanting “we’re going to kill you and gently caress your mother.”

Brazil is the most racist country in the Western Hemisphere so its weird to me when people defend them on that issue. If anything the racism is insisting the white dude is racist because he said means things about non white people that had nothing do with race.

The dude’s only friend is a brown person lol.

It's racist.

I just told you it wasn’t. It’s no more racist than saying Americans are fat. Brazil isn’t a race, it’s a country with a bunch of races where white Brazilians look down on non whites. The vast majority of Brazilians who attend ufc shows are white so I guess Colby hates white people.

Personally I’m all for Brazil getting poo poo on since they poo poo on every non Brazilian that preforms for them except Hendo

Terrible analogy. Robocop without the suit is just a brain, some face skin, and possibly lungs.

seems to me like he doesnt like brazillians .. well neither do lots of ppl in this thread. personally its my favourite country for fighters, they show the most heart, show up to their fights in good shape, and they have the funny style of bushido which compels them to say cool excuses if they lose

some of their fighters are just awesome too, aldo, souza, silva, vitor, lyoto noguiera werdum etc. and if it wasnt for the gracie family and their school the sport would still be in the stone age probably

Colby Covington got hit in the face by a boomerang and then, despite being a professional fighter, called the cops to complain about boomerang assault. Keven's Verdict: Thumbs Down.

Yeah, he's trying real hard but his "controversial" stuff is just sad and kinda desperate.

To be fair, at least he is trying to do something to stand out/get fights.

Whatever stupid hot take you have on Covington being the victim of racism, he's a loving idiot, an rear end in a top hat, and spent a round getting outboxed by a 56 year old Damien Maia. There is literally no reason to be on his side in any debate.

Interim belts have a purpose if the real champ is injured or something and will be out a while, not like Conor loving off and doing coke and hookers

I honestly think it would be better if an injury was long-term enough just to strip the belt from the holder but guarantee them a title shot when they come back.
