At this level, MMA fighter Colby Covington’s complete id seems to revolve round his raging man crush on former President Donald Trump. He’s like a professional wrestler with a scripted MAGA persona. He’s a personality—and never even a well-written one.

Years in the past, Covington had an entire meltdown over NFL gamers opting to not go to with Trump on the White Home—as a result of how dare they not settle for an invitation from a politician they don’t like? How dare that not like him? HOW DARE THEY NOT JOIN COVINGTON IN BEGGING TO SIT ON MAGA CLAUS’S LAP?

Final week, we reported that the skilled fighter was persevering with his one-sided beef with LeBron James as a result of James dedicated the Caucasian sin (that was presupposed to be “cardinal”—rattling autocorrect) of failing to look at the nationwide anthem. Are you aware who else used to obsessively have interaction in a feud with LeBron that LeBron wasn’t in the slightest degree invested in? You guessed it: Covington’s Tang-tinted hero.

Now, Covington is taking his Trump worship to an entire new degree by defaulting to the ex-president’s favourite response to dropping: It was rigged.

On Saturday in Las Vegas, Covington misplaced to Leon Edwards at UFC 296. Edwards—who was nonetheless reeling from the pre-fight comment Covington made about his father who was murdered when he Edwards was 13—gained by a unanimous resolution. Covington might have been slightly embarrassed since Trump was in attendance on the struggle. Maybe that has one thing to do with why he not solely claimed in his post-fight interview that the struggle was rigged in opposition to him, however that it was rigged due to his love for the ex-commander-in-criminal-indictments. (That was presupposed to be “chief.” Autocorrect is actually killing me, man.)

“I assumed I had the win. I assumed I did sufficient however y’know, the judges have by no means favored me,” Covington mentioned whereas faithfully sporting his pink “Make America Nice Once more” cap. “They hate me as a result of I assist Trump and y’know everybody hates Trump on this constructing so y’know it’s what it’s. Life goes on.”

I suppose we must always simply be comfortable Covington didn’t begin a riot on the closest on line casino to power the three judges to overturn the struggle outcomes. He may need tried to rent Rudy Giuliani to tie up dozens of courts with frivolous lawsuits simply to be advised by dozens of judges that he nonetheless misplaced. (I hear Giuliani may use the cash.)

Significantly although, Covington is actually out right here in his Trump attire whining about how his Trump love trumped his imaginary victory. Then, in line with Newsweek, Covington took the time throughout his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan to reward and endorse Trump even though he was not requested a single query about his MAGA messiah.

“I wish to shout out Donald Trump. You may delay, however you may’t deny us. He’s going to make America nice once more, scale back inflation and safe our borders. Donald Trump is the one one that may try this. Vote Donald Trump in 2024,” Covington mentioned.

In case you requested Covington if he needed pancakes for breakfast, he’d most actually reply, “Trump has the most effective breakfasts. YUGE breakfasts. Possibly probably the most appetizing in historical past. He has pancakes, waffles and French toast. And he STILL maintains that 219-pound determine of his. How does he do it?”

Covington additionally talked about how he needed Trump to present him a hoop and stroll him to the alter—sorry, I imply stroll him to the combating ring. (I can’t blame autocorrect on that one. I’m simply fairly positive Covington desires to marry Trump.)

“I requested Donald Trump if he may stroll me out. I noticed him at Mar-a-Lago earlier than I left and I received this swimsuit signed by him. He mentioned he would stroll me out,” Covington mentioned. “We known as the UFC and Dana [White] and he mentioned, ‘Logistically, Colby, it might simply be too robust. He has virtually 100 Secret Service that comes with him and it might be an excessive amount of mayhem to get you to the cage and get him there on the similar time.’”So, sadly, Donald Trump gained’t be capable to stroll out with me,” he continued. “However he’ll be cageside and I’ll give him a hug earlier than I enter that octagon and I’ll see him cageside and he’ll be placing that belt round my waist Saturday night time.”

Bro. Get a room.
