Kanye West stirred controversy at the Paris fashion show by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “White Lives Matter.” Covington, on the other hand, blasted Tyron Woodley for wearing the "Black Lives Matter" T-shirt, labeling the movement a "complete sham" at UFC Vegas 11.

What did Colby Covington say about the 'Black Lives Matter' protest?
Colby Covington has made some controversial comments about the 'Black Lives Matter' campaign in the past. One of the largest racial justice protests stemmed from the murder of George Floyd by a police officer. The initial protests later grew into a global movement.
Ahead of his scheduled fight against 'Chaos' at UFC Vegas 11, Tyron Woodley wore a T-shirt to stand up for the movement and answered all questions by taking a verbal knee.
Colby Covington dominated Tyron Woodley for the better part of five rounds and won the fight via TKO in the final frame. During the post-fight press conference, Covington doubled down against the protest:
“The Black Lives Matter is a complete sham. It’s a joke. They’re taking these people that are complete terrorists. They’re taking these people that that are criminals. These aren’t people that are hardworking Americans, blue-collar Americans. These are bad people. They’re criminals. They shouldn’t be attacking police. If you’re breaking the law and you’re threatening the cops with weapons, you deserve to get what you get. Law enforcement protects us all. If we don’t have law enforcement, it’d be the wild wild west.”
