UFC fighter Colby Covington appeared to threaten broadcaster Jon Anik over his support for Belal Muhammad to get a welterweight championship shot.
Anik appeared to support Muhammad’s shot in a tweet before the fight.
Muhammad quote-tweeted Anik and appeared to suggest Covington got the next shot because he was White, according to MMA Mania. That appeared to be the crux of Covington’s racism argument. Muhammad indeed hasn’t lost a fight since 2019. His initial bout with Edwards resulted in a no-contest due to an eye poke. He’s currently fourth in the welterweight rankings.
"I definitely have a say [in who’s next]," Edwards said on the"MMA Hour.""Listen, he ain’t getting a title shot next fight. Look at the road I had to take to get there. There’s no way you’re getting beat twice by the guy that I just beat twice, went out and beat Masvidal, and then sit out for a year and a half, not even tweeting or nothing, just go missing for a year, and then randomly pops up at the weigh-ins and it’s like, ‘OK, he’s fighting for the title next.
