Former U.S. President Donald Trump was caught catching an eyeful while sitting cageside for the UFC’s final pay-per-view event of the year.

Showing up just in time for the main card like a true casual, Trump made his way into the arena accompanied by UFC CEO Dana White, Bud Light lover-turned-hater-turned-secret-lover Kid Rock, and Zack Morris’ bitter rival/best friend, Mario Lopez.

Donald Trump was undoubtedly in attendance to offer support to his most loyal fan, Colby Covington, who was headlining the event in a third bid to become UFC welterweight world champion, but the scraps inside the cage weren’t the only thing that caught ol’ 45’s eye on Saturday night in Sin City.

With Melania nowhere in sight, Trump decided to get himself an eyeful of one of the Octagon girls while she was making her rounds between rounds.

Colby Covington Takes a Page out of Donald Trump’s Playbook

Despite a strong showing of support from the live crowd, Covington ultimately came up short in the evening’s main event, dropping a decisive unanimous decision to reigning titleholder Leon Edwards after five rounds. Taking a page out of Trump’s playbook, ‘Chaos’ immediately cried foul, claiming the victory was stolen from him by biased judging rather than his inability to accomplish anything of value throughout the 25-minute affair.

“You can delay us but you can’t deny us,” Covington said during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “He’s going to make America great again. We need these borders secure, we need inflation down and we need America first again. Donald Trump is the only one that’s going to do that again — Trump 2024!”

Covington has now lost three of his last five fights dating back to 2019. ‘Chaos’ made it clear that he’s far from done inside the Octagon, but it’s safe to assume that if he hopes to ever sniff out another title opportunity, he’ll actually have to win a few fights instead of writing checks with his mouth that his ass can’t cash.

Controversial Kick streamer N3on was banned from attending UFC 296 on Saturday night after he made threats aimed at former U.S. President Donald Trump

N3on, whose real name is Rangesh Mutama, purchased a ticket to attend the promotion’s final pay-per-view of the year, but before making his way to T-Mobile Arena, he posted a video on Instagram sharing his intention of confronting the embattled ex-president upon arrival.

“One problem – Donald Trump and the Secret Service are going to be there,” he said. “So, here’s my plan, chat, you know, you can clip this and, you know, foreshadow it in the future. What’s going to happen is – I’m going to walk up, you know, I’m going to talk my sh*t to Trump, and then, it’s going to be a very good experience.

“So, I’m going to talk my sh*t. I don’t care. I know the Secret Service is going to be there, I don’t give a f*ck. I’m going to talk sh*t. So, it’s all good. It’s going to be very good. Time is going to be very interesting. ‘Don’t say anything.’ I don’t think the Secret Service is about sh*t, so it’s going to be fine. We should be good.”

Obviously, it didn’t take long for the UFC to get wind of N3on’s intentions and promptly had the Indian American internet personality banned from the evening’s festivities.

Dana White Comments on N3ON’s Ban from UFC 296

Asked about the ban during the UFC 296 post-fight press event, CEO Dana White confirmed that N3on was not allowed to enter the building after making threats and “talking dumb sh*t.”

“He said he was banned from the arena? No,” White said. “What happened is, he said some stupid sh*t on Instagram and, you know… He bought tickets so he wasn’t anywhere close, but when you start saying stupid sh*t like that, yeah, you’re probably gonna get busted up and thrown out of here [by] making threats and talking dumb sh*t. Looking for clout.”

When a member of the media attempted to clarify what N3on originally said, White was quick to step in, making it clear that he didn’t care.

“I don’t care what he said,” White added. “Did he [confront Donald Trump]? F*ckin’ punk.”

Video – Colby Covington wears Donald Trump gifted suit ahead of UFC 296: ‘He’ll be putting that belt around my waist’

Ahead of his incoming UFC 296 headliner this weekend, former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington attended today’s media availability sporting a red, white, and blue colored suit and trousers – emblazoned with a mugshot photo of former United States President, Donald Trump – whom the Clovis native claimed would put the title on him with a win over Leon Edwards.

Covington, the current number three ranked welterweight contender and former interim champion, is slated to headline UFC 296 this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, taking on Birmingham native and incumbent welterweight kingpin, Edwards in a long-awaited grudge match between the two.

Sidelined since March of last year, Covington most recently turned in a one-sided unanimous decision win over former title chaser, Jorge Masvidal in the pair’s heated showdown in a pay-per-view headliner.

Colby Covington wears Donald Trump-themed suit

And revealing that despite his wishes, former President, Trump will not walk him out at the T-Mobile Arena ahead of his championship fight with Edwards, Covington claimed the former would strap the title belt on him.

“Unfortunately, Donald Trump won’t be able to walk out with me, but he’ll be there cageside,” Colby Covington told assembled media ahead of UFC 296. “I’ll get my hug before I enter that Octagon. I’ll see him cageside – he’ll be putting that belt around my waist Saturday night.”

And offering his latest prediction for his title fight with Edwards, Covington claimed he would be the one to bring the apparent “quitter” out of the incumbent welterweight champion this weekend.

“It was the first fight with (Kamaru) Usman where I saw he had that quitter in him,” Colby Covington explained. “I’m going to bring out the dog in me and the quitter in him. I know he’s got it deep down inside. Even in the second fight, he had it, too. His coach had to wake him up: ‘Leon, Leon, you’re quitting. Don’t give up, mah-mah-mah-mah.’ He’s a mumbling idiot, and Saturday night, I’m going to bring that quitter back out of him.”

Leon Edwards believes that the UFC is pulling for Colby Covington to beat him: ‘He’s Got Dana White Privilege’

Leon Edwards is going into his second welterweight world title defense with the belief that his employer wants to see him lose.

Nine months following his decisive decision victory over Kamaru Usman to retain the 170-pound crown, ‘Rocky’ will once again put the strap on the line, this time against a fighter who has already tried and failed on two separate occasions to claim it, Colby Covington.

Nearly two years removed from his victory over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272, ‘Chaos’ will stumble into yet another title opportunity, a decision that has fighters, fans, and Edwards still scratching their heads. In the last four years, ‘Chaos’ has gone 2-2 inside the Octagon, his two losses coming against then-champion Kamaru Usman, the man Edwards just got done defeating not once, but twice. Covington’s only wins have come against Tyron Woodley and the aforementioned Masvidal, two fighters who are now retired from MMA following multi-fight losing streaks.

Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Edwards was asked why he believes Covington is getting another shot at UFC gold despite doing very little to earn it.

“I spoke to the UFC, I spoke to everyone and, I don’t know. They brought him in March to weigh in, which was random, I don’t know why. He’s got Dana White privilege right, and that’s it. He fought Masvidal, everyone he’s beat in the last five years is retired right? They’ve all been feeding him these guys on the backend of their careers” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Leon Edwards is Happy to play the underdog once again

To his credit, Colby Covington has a solid 12-3 record under the UFC banner. Since 2016, his only losses have come against Kamaru Usman. However, ‘Chaos’ does not hold a win over a single fighter in the current welterweight top 15 and of his last nine wins, only three of those fighters, Max Griffin, Bryan Barberena, and Rafael dos Anjos are still employed by the UFC.

“For some reason, he’s got this mad mentality that he deserves more than he’s earned,” Edwards said. “For some reason, the UFC is going with it, and here we are. I’m prepared, I’m ready, and I’m going to show him the levels… Probably [they want him to win], Trump wants him to win. I don’t know, none of it matters right?”

“My entire career has been like the underdog going against the favorite. I think this is no different. My mentality, my background, it’s all perfect to where my career is going. It all works out perfect for me. So, it is what it is.”

Leon Edwards goes into Saturday’s bout riding an 11-fight win streak dating back to May 2016.

Colby Covington has allegedly received coaching from none other than Donald Trump ahead of his epic title fight against Leon Edwards at UFC 296.

The American superstar has not been the most active participant in the welterweight division lately but is still waltzing into a title shot this Saturday. The abrasive nature of ‘Chaos’ merely disguises his brilliance in the cage, and now that he’s received training from none other than Donald Trump himself, Covington is feeling unstoppable.

The former U.S. president and Colby Covington share a close bond, and ‘Chaos’ recently took the time to open up about their relationship. Detailing steamy trips to the former president’s vacation home, and late-night war meetings over the phone.

Colby Covington details the coaching he received from Donald Trump

“He is my good friend, it’s not like I was just meeting up with him every couple of months. I was at his house in Mar a Lago a couple of weeks ago, I call him regularly to ask him about a gameplan,” Colby Covington told Mirror Fighting, speaking about the former president. “He’s given me great coaching advice for this fight. Trump is the better fighter [than me], that guy has knuckles like lunchboxes.”

“That guy is so big that he would destroy me if we fought,” Covington continued. “I have the most important and famous person on planet earth coming to my fights to watch me front row. Who does Leon have? Does he have the royal family, Paddington the Bear, or Mary f****ng Poppins coming? Leon is a nobody, he is the B-side and I’m the A-side.”

The bond between the former president and ‘Chaos’ is strong, and Covington even went into vivid detail about the mastery that Trump has with his rod.

“The guy is a PGA tour level professional golfer, he shoots under par,” Colby Covington said, speaking of what he regularly witnesses when he and the former president play golf together. “It’s incredible to watch him and his golf swing, he is dedicated to his craft and the sport of golf. I like to go out there and watch him, sit in the golf cart sometimes to just be amazed at how good Trump is at golf. He is the smartest and best president we’ve had in the history of America.”

Do you think the special relationship between Colby Covington and Donald Trump will inspire ‘Chaos’ to defeat his British adversary?
