Okay, so I saw this thing blowing up online about Colby Covington and some really messed up comments he made about Leon Edwards’ father. Honestly, it made me want to dig into what actually happened, because, you know, the internet can be a crazy place.
First, I started by just hitting up Google. I typed in “Colby Covington Leon Edwards father comments” and boom – tons of articles and videos popped up. It was pretty overwhelming, to be honest.
Then, I focused on finding the actual video of the press conference where this all went down. I scrolled through a bunch of news sites until I found one that had the full, unedited clip. It’s always best to go straight to the source, you know?
Watching the Video
Watching the video was… rough. I mean, the whole thing was super intense, lots of trash-talking, which is kinda normal for these UFC things. But then Covington said something, and it wasn’t clear at all so I paused and replayed many times. I finally got it. He said, “I’m going to bring you to the seventh level of hell. We’ll say what’s up to your dad while we’re there.”
- I paused the video.
- I rewound it a few times.
- I listened super carefully.
It’s obvious what he means, and I can see why Edwards got so angry. He was referencing something in a terrible way.
Digging Deeper
After watching the press conference, I wanted to see how people were reacting. So I went on Twitter (X? Whatever) and searched for both fighters’ names. Man, it was a firestorm. Some people were defending Covington, saying it’s all part of the hype, but a lot of people were calling him out, saying he crossed a major line.
I also checked out some MMA forums and fan pages. Same deal – a mix of opinions, but a lot of people were pretty disgusted by Covington’s comments. I even read some articles from sports journalists giving their take on the whole situation. Most of them seemed to agree that Covington went way too far.
My conclusion? This wasn’t just regular fight hype. This was personal and, frankly, pretty messed up. Trash-talking is one thing, but some lines shouldn’t be crossed. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out in the actual fight, that’s for sure.
