Colby Covington has a gift for Trump

Covington looked rather excited going up to Donald Trump to give him a great surprise. What was the gift? A white blazer with Trump’s rather famous mugshot on its back. The former president looked rather pleased and had a lot of praise for ‘Chaos’.

“I just want to say,” said “Whatever you’re watching Colby, it’s been an incredible career. So it’ll be a great night and I look forward to it, traveling out there. We’re gonna root you on, you’re gonna be fantastic.”  Said Trump as he greeted the fighter and signed the blazer. What do you think of the fantastic gift?

Trump found it fascinating as he signed it with his marker. The former president was nothing but thrilled to receive the gift. Will his blessings help Covington win against Edwards? Who knows? It might be very possible that Trump will likely show up at cage side to cheer the fighter on.

“Good luck Colby, go out there and win,” said Trump as the two parted ways. Perhaps Covington will get a new boost in his morale after this meeting. He has been doing his usual rounds talking trash against the reigning champion. It better be all worth it.

Covington is coveted for his trash talk. Sometimes, it’s all the fighter does to break the morale on the other end of the stick. So he obviously went in guns blazing against Leon Edwards who has held the championship belt for about a year now. Here’s what he said.

“He just cried ‘I deserve this, I deserve that’ instead of just going out there and working for it or earning it like I did. I had to earn it the hard way. No one gave me this spot to fight for the undisputed title. I had to earn it.” He said accusing ‘Rocky’ of not having earned his position. Now he has a chance to take his position away from him. Will he succeed?
