“The People’s Champ” Colby Covington dispatched Tyron Woodley in the main event of UFC Fight Night 178. Following the fight, he gave a very passionate speech on the upcoming election.
President Donald Trump will attempt to regain control of the United States on November 3rd. Trump is facing Democratic challenger Joe Biden, who has been in politics for 47 years.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the silent majority is ready to make some noise,” Covington said. “If you thought that was a beating wait until November 3rd, when Donald Trump gets his hands on Sleepy Joe. That’s gonna be a landslide.”

Covington was not done there. He also dedicated his fifth-round win over Woodley to the first responders in the country.
Plus, he called Democratic athletes, like LeBron James, a spineless coward.
“I want to dedicate this fight to all the first responders, all the military out there,” he said. “This world would not be safe without you guys. You keep us safe and not these woke athletes. I’m sick of these woke athletes and [these] spineless cowards like LeBron James.”
The face of the NBA has been a Democrat for years. Reporter Jason Whitlock called James a bigot for running his mouth about police incidents to his social media followers without even knowing the facts.
Covington was not pleased when James and the NBA boycotted several games due to the police shooting of Jacob Blake. He was shot in Wisconsin by one officer seven times in his back after resisting arrest, as video evidence revealed.

“Oh wow, you postponed your games?” Covington said about the players’ boycott. “Wanna prove you’re really about change? Quit your multi-million dollar jobs and soft privileged lives playing a kid’s game, take a massive pay cut, and perform the toughest job in America. Become cops! @NBA @MLB @KingJames”
On social media after the fight, Covington also said the silent majority would make some noise on November 3rd.
“Nothing makes me prouder than fighting for the people who fight for America!!!,” Covington said. “THANK YOU to all the brave men and women of law enforcement and the military!!! Thank You @realDonaldTrump for all the love and support!! The silent majority is ready to make some noise (on) November 3rd!!”
