The last 18 hours have been quite a buzz for Colby Covington. Through his bold takes and antics, the former interim UFC welterweight champion has grabbed the attention of fans, and streamer N3on was there to capture it all. While they seemed to be having a good time, there was one particular moment where the streamer seemed disappointed with Covington.

For those unaware, N3on is a 21-year-old internet personality whose real name is Rangesh Mutama. Similar to the likes of IShowSpeed or Adin Ross, he has also risen up to the trend of delivering IRL (In-Real Life) livestreams. And with him, he takes several prominent figures from different fields as his guests.

In his most recent livestream, Colby Covington was the guest, and they met in a gym based in Florida. Covington was present there to welcome N3on. But as soon as they wanted to enter the facility, the in-charge seemingly intervened and asked them to stop streaming inside the gym.

The reason behind this was, of course, the privacy of the members, as any manager or person in charge of such a facility would be concerned with. But here, what’s interesting is how N3on appeared disappointed. Maybe he expected Covington to get permission beforehand from the gym owner to livestream.

And for that, fans seemingly mocked the former interim UFC welterweight champion. Now, when it comes to Covington’s reputation among the MMA fans, it isn’t quite positive. And the reason behind that is ‘Chaos’ himself. Time and again, Covington had donned the role of an antagonist ahead of his UFC fights.

To that end, during the pre-fight buildups and press conferences, he often thrashed his opponent. But when it comes to actual performances, Covington has failed to deliver. Take the example of his UFC 296 fight against Leon Edwards. Before the bout, Covington promised to put Edwards on “the seventh level of hell.”

But during the fight, Edwards outstruck ‘Chaos’ to win via unanimous decision. Speaking of his fight performances, Covington has yet to win a UFC fight since 2022. His last victory was against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272, where he won via unanimous decision. Since then, he has only made two appearances.

One of those appearances was the fight against Edwards; the other was against Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa in 2024, where a doctor stoppage was the outcome of the fight. Hence, the way the former UFC interim champion fails to back his statements up has repeatedly had a detrimental impact on his reputation. That said, what did the fans say about his latest antic?

Fight fans react to Colby Covington’s viral moment from N3on’s livestream

The fans online and netizens had a field day watching Colby Covington getting denied permission to shoot in his gym. And for that, many poked fun at how ‘Chaos’ seemingly does not have any respect at his place. “Colby got no pull or respect lol,” the fan wrote. Meanwhile, other users questioned whether Covington didn’t take permission beforehand.

“Colby didn’t ask before?” the netizen commented. Apart from that, many noted the gym owner’s response to such an activity. “Gym owner stands up for His Paying gym members,” a fan wrote. But the majority still mocked Covington for not getting immediate permission.

“Damn, Colby got no pull at his own gym,” a user commented. However, amid that, there were people who spoke entirely against the concept of livestreaming at such public places. Surely, a subjective opinion, but it is what they felt. “I wouldn’t want those twirps doing that either,” a netizen wrote.

And lastly, many fans online took notice of how N3on reacted after the gym owner denied them permission to stream despite being a close associate of Covington. “He really was very disappointed,” a fan wrote. So, that’s how the netizens reacted to the moment. But later, both Covington and N3on were permitted to do the livestream.

But, of course, at a particular corner of the facility. That said, what would your reaction be if a livestreamer came and asked permission to shoot at your public facility? Let us know in the comments below!
