UFC fans are eagerly anticipating the welterweight showdown between Colby Covington and Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa. Covington, a three-time title contender, has been sidelined since his unanimous decision defeat to Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC 296. Meanwhile, Buckley has continued to impress, extending his undefeated welterweight streak to 5-0 with a second-round knockout of Stephen Thompson during the UFC 307 prelims.
Fans recognize that Covington will need some good fortune to secure a win in the fight, and it appears ‘Chaos’ is well aware of this. At UFC Tampa, Covington made sure to showcase his lucky Donald Trump necklace as he made his way into the Amalie Arena. This gesture reflects the deep admiration Covington has for Trump, a sentiment he has consistently expressed through his vocal support for the former U.S. President.
Fans wasted no time giving Colby Covington a reality check after a viral clip from UFC Tampa. In the comments, they reminded Covington that Donald Trump had walked out during his post-fight interview following his loss to Leon Edwards. Fans pointed out that if Covington keeps losing, the former president might not be so supportive. One comment read, “He won’t have Trump’s backing if he keeps losing. Trump already walked out with a look of disdain after his fight.” Another added, “Seems like he forgot Trump left early during his last fight.”
