“That terrorist rat should be deported to the country he ratted out. He shouldn't even be allowed in this country for all the shit he does. He keeps trying to punch professional fighters. Do you know what else he told me? He said he was going to chase me, shoot me and kill me. He said that to me. I swear to God, on my life. I have witnesses who heard him say that,” said Covington, in an interview with the program. 'Ariel Helwani's MMA Show'.
Colby even reported how the confusion started. According to him, Usman's team tried to intimidate him inside the casino.
“Suddenly, a tired Marty (Usman's nickname at the university) appears, that terrorist rat Ali (Abdelaziz, Usman's manager) and another Bigfoot (apparently, a security guard). They start pushing. launching scams, putting the lives of innocent children in danger. There's a pregnant girl and she's shouting: 'I'm pregnant, stop it!'. Ali was still pushing, trying to make a scene. Usman was still shouting at me: 'I'm going to get you!'. And his Bigfoot was still trying to punch my friend. It's a complete joke. I can’t believe they allow these filthy animals in Las Vegas,” Colby added.
