VIDEO: Colby Covington Interrupts UFC 245 Press Conference With Hot Jeffrey Epstein Take
By Michael Luciano
You can always count on Colby Covington to make headlines with his mouth. Be it brash, insightful, antagonistic, or downright stupid, there is never a dull day at the office when Covington is about to fight. Covington's latest attention-grabbing quote came at a UFC 245 press conference just days before he is scheduled to take on Kamaru Usman for the UFC Welterweight championship, where he unleashed a bold take on the whole Jeffrey Epstein saga that left onlookers more confused than anything else.

You could hear a pin drop after that. Safe to say that was not Covington's best effort.
While Covington is clearly relishing his role as the brash villain ahead of the Usman fight, that doesn't mean that his shtick is always going to land the right way with everyone, as evidenced by that cringeworthy clip. His diehards are probably rolling on the floor laughing, while his detractors and Usman fans alike found more fuel for their unbridled hatred.
Said the name wrong and the joke didnt land#CringeFactor
