Colby Covington made a name for himself as one of the most despised heels in the UFC. He is also a huge pro wrestling fan, as Kurt Angle can attest to. In fact, he is confident that he will face Conor McGregor before Donald Trump becomes the President again.
Covington was last seen in his UFC 272 fight against Masvidal, where Covington outclassed Masvidal for the win. Since then, he has been biding his time and keeping himself relevant.
Covington expressed his enthusiasm for the “mega campaign”. He also expressed his excitement at the opportunity to work with his friend, Donald Trump, for his 2024 US Presidential Elections.
While speaking to Mike Heck of MMA Fighting, Colby Covington, who is set to challenge Leon Edwards for the UFC Welterweight Title, made it clear that he wants to square off against Conor McGregor before Donald Trump becomes President again.
Everybody knows who the best fighter in the world is, the undisputed champ. That’s me. It’s Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington. It’s a beautiful thing. I’m truly blessed to be in this position and to collide with Conor, it would be the biggest title fight in the history of the company.
We’re talking two million pay-per-view buys plus. It would be catastrophic. It would be incredible. It would be the biggest business the UFC could ever do and especially it’s beautiful timing. Right before Donald Trump is going to take back the office in 2024. Right before the campaign trail so the timing of life is working out perfect and this is God’s plan.”
Conor McGregor himself will be squaring off against Michael Chandler in his return fight. We’ll have to wait and see whether The Notorious and Colby Covington will duke it out in the future.
