Former US President Donald Trump is known to be a keen follower of the UFC. He has attended numerous UFC events, and he has even been involved in the promotion of the sport. He recently gave a speech at the Turning Point Action platform where he praised UFC welterweight Colby Covington. Covington is known to be a long-time fan of Trump.

The UFC welterweight took to Twitter to post a video of Trump talking about him at the event. In the video, the former President can be seen saying, “He’s a champion fighter in the UFC. He’s got a huge fight ahead of him, I don’t know how they take 400-500 shots to the head. He’s here with us champion Colby Covington“.

Trump also joked by saying, “If I ever saw him on the street I would say I could take him, but it would be over fast. If I was trying to impress somebody it would not be impressive.” The former President also wished Covington good luck for his fight and said that he will try to be there. Fans were shocked seeing this as Trump recently praised Covington’s rival Kamaru Usman in an interview and didn’t even mention him.
