No one is safe from Belal Muhammad's trolling attacks - even if your name is Colby Covington. The reigning UFC welterweight champion tuned into the ceremonial weigh-ins of UFC Tampa today and couldn't help but make fun 'Chaos', who's facing Joaquin Buckley in the main event.
Typically, Covington would cut a wild promo after weighing in but this time, he had MMA legend Chael Sonnen do the talking with him. One could say that Covington's brash, trash-talking persona was inspired by Sonnen's exploits on the mic back in his heyday.
Taking over the mic, Sonnen said:
"I came to tell you when you're the greatest fighter in the world today, they got a name for you. They don't call you a great fighter. They call you 'Chaos' Covington. Only in the octagon! 10 o'clock eastern, 7 pacific. Only. On ESPN."

Muhammad hilariously ignored Sonnen's classic promo and went straight to making fun of Covington, who seemingly fumbled the pronunciation of the word "model":
"What’s a role moder"
Meanwhile, one fan wrote:
"Always fun to see chael play hype man, he knows his role and plays the part."
Another commented:
"Chael the goat"

Colby Covington trolls LeBron James at UFC Tampa pre-fighter presser
If Belal Muhammad is remarkable at trolling people online, Colby Covington might be the master of instigating friction with anybody. During media day ahead of UFC Tampa, 'Chaos' delivered a scorched earth attack on NBA legend LeBron James, whom he's been having a one-sided beef for years.
Covington said:
"I'm going to start this off, you know, since I'm the man of the hour. The man of the show. I just wanna ask LeBron. What does he mean by, 'There's no party like a Diddy party?' I truly want to know. And not only that, LeBron, how many Diddy parties have you actually been to? I'm really curious to know."
He continued:
"Is that the reason why you don't have social media? Because of the backlash that you're going to get going to so many Diddy parties? Just pathetic, man. People think this guy is a role model. Wants to defund the police. The most patriot people in America. Serving and protecting our country. LeBron, you're a f*cking scumbag. And I hope you get locked up in the same cell with Diddy."
