Colby Covington makes vile joke about Leon Edwards’ late father who was murdered in a London nightclub.
The pair met at the UFC 296 press conference and things got heated after the American’s joke. Edwards launched a bottle of water at the challenger in response and they had to be separated.
Covington had said: ‘I’m bringing you to the seventh layer of hell, we’ll say “what’s up” to your dad while we’re there”, which understandably triggered the champion.
