Colby Covington reveals the two things he would never joke about

Colby Covington has never shied away from controversy and once left fans shocked with a joke he made to Leon Edwards' father ahead of UFC 296.

At the press conference, 'Chaos' made fun of the Briton's father, who died when the mixed martial artist was just 13 years old.

However, while many fans were upset by the comments, Covington stood by them and refused to apologize for his comments.

He now claims there are only two things he would never use to verbally attack someone and explained the things the UFC would not tolerate.

In an interview with Patrick Bet David, he said: “You will definitely get called out if you are racist or if you support someone's religion. But I would never go after those two things. I will expose things that need to be exposed because it is the truth and honesty.

Discussing his comments about his old rival, he said: “You can look up the public records about his father. And it's not my fault, he's the one who thrust him into the spotlight in the first place and turned him into a sympathetic figure.”
