Donald Trump could grace fan’s match on December 16
Former United States’ president Donald Trump is likely to visit UFC 296 to watch his outspoken fan Colby Covington’s final competition for the year.
Michael Bisping mentioned this while speaking not long ago.
‘Listen, here’s a little x-factor for Colby Covington, and you can make of this what you will, but I do believe it’s going to give Colby a little bit of an x-factor.
‘Donald Trump is going to be in the building. Colby Covington is Donald Trump’s favourite fighter. Now if you’re English, that doesn’t mean a god damn thing but in America, a lot of people worship Donald Trump and he’s going to be in the building.
‘He’s going to be supporting him and Colby is walking out with the suit. He’s got the suit, he’s got the mug shot of Donald Trump on the back of it, Trump has signed it and I’m telling you right now, Colby Covington is walking into that arena with Donald Trump superpowers.’
Covington’s opponent will be welterweight king Leon Edwards who recently floored Kamaru Usman.
Here is what Edwards said he expected to happen during his December 16 title defense:
‘I see him [Covington] starting fast, like he always does. I think I stop him in round two or three. Either by knocking him out or submission.
‘I feel like he’s just too careless in the way he competes. He’s too careless for someone like me. I’m just way better than him, and I truly believe that.
‘I know he’s banking on just charging forward, but there’s more to fighting than that. I will show him that.’
