Before the UFC Welterweight Championship fight between Colby Covington and Leon Edwards in Las Vegas, a Twitch streamer going by N3on (real name Rangesh Mutama) stirred controversy by announcing his intention to approach President Trump and say negative things to him. The UFC quickly learned of the threat and banned the streamer from attending the event.
In a social media post, N3on bragged about his plan to confront Trump, regardless of the presence of the Secret Service. However, upon arriving at the venue, he was informed that he was not allowed in, and his name had been specifically dropped. N3on expressed shock and disbelief at the consequences of his actions.
A friend informed him of the ban, and N3on questioned whether he was not allowed in the stands. The friend confirmed that the ban was specific to N3on, leading to discussions about refunding the money.
N3on: I’m going to walk up, and I’m going to talk my sh*t to Trump. And it’s going to be a very good experience.
I don’t care if half the Secret Service is there. I don’t give a f**k. I’m going to talk my sh*t.
UFC commissioner Dana White was asked about the Twitch streamer’s ban, and he bluntly stated that when someone says “stupid sh*t” and makes threats, they are likely to face consequences such as being ejected. White emphasized that threatening behavior is not tolerated, especially when directed at public figures like Donald Trump.
White also dismissed the Twitch streamer’s bravado, emphasizing that making threats and talking recklessly can lead to repercussions. He expressed indifference to N3on’s claim of confronting Trump, stating that the young man’s stature was insignificant.
The incident highlights the potential consequences of making threats or engaging in aggressive behavior, especially in high-profile events with heightened security.
