Covington threatened the UFC commentator after he showed support for Muhammad. He said, “So you wanted to lick my fricking b***s in London, Oh Colby, this, this, this, then you want to go back behind the stage and cheerlead for a racist. So, he associates with racism in Belal Muhammad. And you know, Jon Anik, dude, I don’t want your kids to grow up without a dad. Just realize you live in Boca, I live in Miami, motherf***er. You’re not too far from me so you better shut your f**king mouth. You poked the bear, now you get the bear, it comes after you.”
