Colby Covington has been an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump since day one. The 32-year-old fighter also holds the Trump family in high regard.
We rarely see him without his “Make America great again” cap. The self-proclaimed “America’s champ” and Donald Trump’s “favorite fighter” has been vocal about his support for the US President since 2016.
After his interim title fight in 2018 against RDA, Colby proved that he was a man of his word. In the build-up to the fight, Colby had mentioned that he would be visiting the White House to place the belt on the President’s desk – a promise he fulfilled.
