Earlier this week it was reported that current United States President Donald Trump will be in attendance for UFC 244 this weekend in New York City, to witness the Baddest Mother F*cker Championship main event between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.

TMZ Sports recently caught up with Masvidal to get his thoughts on President Trump showing up to watch his fight. Masvidal noted, no matter your political views, it’s an honor to have a sitting President Of The United States attend your fight.

“No matter what your political views on him, it’s not every fighter that can say, ‘Hey, the President is showing up to my fight.’ You know? So that’s humbling in of itself,” Masvidal said. “Especially when other fighters are out there trying os hard, ‘Hey Mr. President! Look at me!’

“The President won’t even go to their fights, look at them or acknowledge them. So to them haters or them dudes that are all up in the sauce, trying to get that, let your talents speak for themselves.”

As we’ve noted, President Trump has quite a history with the mixed martial arts (MMA) scene. He was inducted into the New Jersey State Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2013, and is good friends with UFC president Dana White. Trump allowed a pair of UFC events to go down from his Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City back in 2001 when the UFC had difficulties booking venues.

Trump allowed a pair of UFC events to go down from his Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City back in 2001 when the UFC had difficulties booking venues. In 2008, President Trump also partnered with Affliction Entertainment to create an MMA promotion that put on two shows, one featuring legendary heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko. White also hosted former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington, and White, at the White House back in June of 2018.

Colby Covington Will Ask President Trump About Deporting Ali Abdelaziz

It’s no secret that former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington and MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz don’t like one another.

It’s no secret that former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington and MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz don’t like one another. In fact, the pair engaged in a Vegas buffet brawl the day after UFC 239 in Las Vegas.

Abdelaziz has recently gotten himself into more trouble, allegedly punching another MMA manager in Abe Kawa at a recent Professional Fighters League (PFL) show. Speaking to Submission Radio, Covington noted he’s surprised Abdelaziz hasn’t been deported from the country yet. He plans on speaking to United States President Donald Trump on the matter soon.

“Well, first off, you got to get his name right. His name is Ali Abdelasleaze. The sleazeball is a terrorist rat. The guy has no boundaries, I can’t believe he hasn’t been deported yet,” Covington said. “By the way, I’m about to get on the phone with Donald Trump after I get off this interview. That is the second time he has punched someone in the face in the last couple of months.

“He has two charges pending in Vegas against him. Also, I don’t know if you guys, you guys should do your research and do some digging into this, but he also has a sexual assault case against one of the UFC employees for trying to rape one of the UFC employees at an event. You should dig into that and start asking Ali those questions. The guy is a complete scumbag, a dirtbag, and I don’t know how he hasn’t been deported yet.

“He must have definitely ratted all his friends from Egypt and got them life sentences and must still be giving them informant type information to be getting off all the charges he has gotten off. That guy is literally done everything there is to in the book besides kill somebody that we know of. The guy is a sleazeball and that is that.”

As of this writing, there are no credible reports to support the allegations from Covington that Abdelaziz sexually harassed a UFC employee. However, we’ll keep you updated as we learn more. Currently, Covington is scheduled to take on Kamaru Usman in the main event of the December UFC 245 pay-per-view (PPV) for the welterweight championship.

Do you think Covington will actually ask Trump about deporting Abdelaziz?

Colby Covington is one of the most controversial stars in mixed martial arts (MMA) today.

A lot of that has to do with his very open support for current United States President Donald Trump. Covington was the first fighter to visit the White House after winning UFC gold last year. It was there that he developed a relationship with Trump, who called Covington to congratulate him this past weekend after his victory over Robbie Lawler.

However, despite his staunch support for the President, it turns out Covington didn’t actually vote for Trump in the 2016 election. MMA reporter Jeremy Botter checked voter registration records in the states where Covington has lived, and realized Covington was not registered to vote in 2016.

In short, Covington didn’t vote for anyone. Responding in a statement to Botter, Covington admitted he has never registered to vote in his life, as he has always been skeptical of all politicians before Trump.

Well I’ll be damned. Finally we have a story that isn’t fake news. You are correct. I have never registered to vote in my life.

I have hated politics and politicians for as long as I can remember. I have always found them to be liars and hypocrites, seeking nothing but to further their self interests in the name of public service. 

I openly admit that I felt the same way going into the 2016 election. While I was certain that Hillary was a fraud, I was likewise skeptical of now President Trump and the promises he was making. How could I not be, especially in light of the media‘s portrayal of him and his agenda?

No, I did not register to vote in 2016 or any election prior to that. I did not trust President Trump at the time and have never been a fan of members of either side of the aisle. 

And then it happened. Against all odds and with just about about every card in the deck stacked against him, including many uncooperative members of his own party, the guy started delivering on his promises. He began to make America great again. 

I am blown away at the success he has had in the short time he has been in office. I shudder to think of just how far along we would be if he was treated even close to fairly by the media and the occupants of the swamp in Washington D.C.

I began to support our President when I realized he was a true man of the people, looking to make our country great for all of us instead of using the office for his personal gain. The support is growing stronger by the day as he continues to deliver on his promises.

I will be registering to vote in the 2020 election and do my part to ensure this man finishes the job he has started.
