UFC welterweight Colby Covington reacted after Tyron Woodley sported a “Make Racists Fade Again” hat at the UFC Vegas 11 presser.<\/p>\n

Covington and Woodley were set to be the stars of the press conference and had been advertised as such all week long<\/a>, but the UFC chose to bring in several undercard fighters instead such as Khamzat Chimaev, Donald Cerrone, and Niko Price to be the faces of the presser instead. Covington and Woodley did eventually show up, but it wasn’t for the back-and-forth type of press conference that most expected it to be.<\/p>\n

Instead, Woodley wore a “Make Racists Fade Again” hat and answered the phrase “Back Lives Matter” when the media asked questions. Covington was asked about the UFC changing the format of the press conference and he had a theory why it happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would think that Tyron asked not to engage with me in person. He\u2019s doing his little thing; he\u2019s trying to copy what I do. He\u2019s wearing some hat that says whatever it said, \u2018Make Racists Fade Again,\u2019 but the only person catching a fade is Tyron Woodley on Saturday night. He\u2019s the only one that\u2019s racist,” Covington said (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only race there is in this fight is the race to get him out of the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no love lost between Covington and Woodley, former teammates at American Top Team. And while Covington was hoping to get the opportunity to take a few shots at Woodley at the presser, he says he’s not worried as he’s focused on other things.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just would say that I\u2019ve got better things to do,\u201d Covington said. \u201cI was planning speeches to hang out with the president and attend his rally. I\u2019m doing bigger things these days,” Covington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really worried about anything Tyron does. The only thing that I\u2019m going to be worried about is if he tries to rap in that octagon.\u201d<\/p>\n
