UFC Welterweight fighter Colby Covington recently got the company of former US President Donald Trump during a football game. After a presidential rally in Wisconsin, Trump appeared at the Bryant-Denny Stadium at the University of Alabama to watch the Alabama Crimson Tide facing off the Georgia Bulldogs.
On Trump’s arrival, he got a great cheer of support from the audience. However, he was not alone. Along with Covington, who is one of the notable supporters of Donald Trump, American Music Kid Rock was also present, and all three were enjoying the game from the secure box.

The game ended in the favor of the Alabama Crimson Tide, as they got the win by 41-34 points over the Georgia Bulldogs. “Chaos” is one of the most vocal supporters of the former US President, that he even adopted Trump as a major aspect of his gimmick, which he has used to become a trash talker. After winning the interim UFC Welterweight Championship by defeating Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 225, Covington took his belt to the White House.
He presented his newly won title to Donald Trump and also took a photo with the then president. Covington’s loyalty for Trump has remained constant since then, so much that he even used it as an excuse after his defeat to Leon Edwards at UFC 296, saying the judges don’t want to crown a Trump supporter as UFC champion.
The two also played Golf together
Colby Covington and Donald Trump share a good relationship, with the UFC fighter having great admiration for the former US president. The two have also been often seen playing golf together, once after Covington’s interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto. “Chaos” captured this moment by snapping a picture of himself standing next to Trump, with both men dressed in golfing clothes.

If we talk about Covington’s UFC career, his last appearance in the Octagon was on December 16, 2023, at UFC 296, where he faced Leon Edwards for the UFC Welterweight Championship and lost the match via unanimous decision. Since then he has been on a break and there is no update on his UFC return for now.
