Colby Covington

UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington has sent a thank you message to Donald Trump who finished his four-year stint as the American president on Wednesday.

Trump left the White House and was replaced by Joe Biden yesterday. Covington took to social media to praise the divisive figure for “always putting America first.”

“Thank you for always being the champion the people of America need Mr. President! God bless you and the entire Trump Family for always putting America First!,” Covington wrote.

Covington has been a very visible and vocal Trump supporter for some time now. He is usually sporting a MAGA hat and played a role in the former president’s failed bid to retain office in 2020.

Following his capture of the interim welterweight crown opposite former lightweight gold holder, Rafael dos Anjos back at UFC 225 in June of 2018 – Covington visited The White House with his interim crown upon invitation by president, Trump.

Prior to his most recent win over Tyron Woodley ‘Chaos’ was sitting front row at a Trump rally in Nevada where he met with the President. Post-fight he received a call from Trump and later sat front row again alongside the President’s family and advisors as he debated Joe Biden for the first time.

Covington is currently being linked to a fight with fellow Trump supporter and former friend, Jorge Masvidal. The pair previously trained together for many years at ATT but the relationship soured and Covington has since branched out on his own.

‘Chaos’ has been publicly pursuing the fight for some time and is now waiting on Masvidal to sign the contract to make this match-up official. As of right now, ‘Gamebred’ has failed to commit to the fight, negotiations between the BMF champion and the UFC continue.

Do you think Colby Covington & Jorge Masvidal will fight in 2021?

By now you’ve probably heard that Joe Biden has been announced as the president elect for the United States of America. However current President, Donald Trump has refused to concede the election, claiming the Democrats have committed voter fraud and rigged the election, something Trump has not backed up with evidence. (H/T Bloody Elbow)

Trump has been supported by a whole list of MMA fighters who have taken to social media to back the President in his claims.

Trump has made a series of claims on Twitter, which have since been censored by the social media company as potentially misleading.

There has been no evidence of any voter fraud committed in the United States election, Trump has still not provided any evidence since initially making the claims.

It is no secret that Donald Trump has a lot of support within the UFC, he is friends with UFC President Dana White and has recently had public endorsements from fighters Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington, a pair who are supposed to fight in January.

Trump recently made claims that President-elect, Joe Biden would be a terrible UFC Fighter.

Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, Eddie Alvarez, Michael Chandler and Tito Ortiz are all amongst the list of MMA fighters who have supported Trump since it was announced he had lost the election.

Masvidal uploaded an image from the 2000 election in which Al Gore was projected to win Florida, which he eventually lost with the UFC fighter hinting something similar will happen with this election.

Colby Covington also tweeted to call the election fake news, insisting that Florida should be declared whilst Trump was in the lead.

Former UFC Lightweight Champion, Eddie Alvarez claimed there was a lot of ‘dirty deals’ being done.

Tito Ortiz, Michael Chandler and Gina Carano all backed up Donald Trump as well.

Chandler later deleted this now screenshotted tweet.

UFC President Dana White has always been known to have a close relationship with President Donald Trump and has always supported him. White even spoke at a Donald Trump rally in the past where he talked about his relationship with President Trump and how he’s supporting him in the election.

On Wednesday night Dana White was asked about the Presidential Election Race and if he feels like a change in presidency would impact the UFC, however it seems that White doesn’t have any concerns about that.

While speaking at the Dana White Contender Series 34 post fight press conference, White said “I don’t think Biden even knows who I am, I don’t think Biden knows who Biden is.” Dana White’s clashes with Tito Ortiz are well documented which is why White was asked to comment on Tito Ortiz winning a seat on Huntingdon Beach City Council. White stated “Good for him, Good for him.” It seems he has moved on from their previous disputes. (Transcribed by MMAJunkie)

President Trump is known to be a supporter of the UFC, he even attended UFC 244 in Madison Square Garden in November 2019 when Jorge Masvidal beat Nate Diaz. Several UFC fighters such as Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington are also supporting President Trump and campaigning for him. Masvidal welcomed Trump on his visit to Miami last month and President Trump even tweeted in support of Masvidal saying, “Jorge, you’re really tough and really smart. My Great Honor to have your support!”

Jorge Masvidal

BMF titleholder Jorge Masvidal delivered an impassioned final speech in favour of Donald Trump ahead of the American presidential election.

‘Gamebred’ has been a very visible and vocal part of Trump’s campaign to secure the vote in Florida. The U.S president once again relied on Masvidal to rally up support at his Grand Finale in the state.

The UFC superstar took to the mic and implored the crowd to vote for Trump who he says was doing a great job as President before the pandemic hit.

“I’m a professional athlete and I’ve been one for most of my life so I’ve always seen things through a sports lens,” Masvidal said. “That makes Donald Trump our head coach and before the global pandemic we were winning super bowls, numerous ones. When you win the super bowl you don’t get fired. You don’t lose your job. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the players he puts on the field, what he says on Twitter that may hurt your feelings or the plays he runs. You sure as hell don’t replace him for another coach that’s been in the business for 47 years at every level and never won a f*cking game.”

“We have a wolf rattling on our door. We need a lion to protect us. Thank God we have one – his name is Donald Trump.”

Now that the election campaign is almost over Masvidal can begin to focus on fighting again. The welterweight knockout artist hasn’t fought since coming up short in his late notice title bid against Kamaru Usman at UFC 251 earlier this year.

‘Gamebred’ has been linked to a rematch with Nate Diaz who he beat at UFC 244 to secure the inaugural BMF belt. However as of late, the UFC seems to want Masvidal to face off against his former teammate and fellow Trump supporter Colby Covington. The pair who used to be friends are now bitter enemies and it’s a beef everyone wants to see settled inside the Octagon.
