It’s no secret that, just like Dana White, Colby Covington is a big-time supporter of Donald Trump. From his speeches to his political views, everything the former U.S. president does has Covington backing him immediately. Meanwhile, ‘Chaos’ was seated beside the former President at a college football game, where he, Trump, and Kid Rock were watching from a private box.
Since taking a break from the fighting scene after UFC 296, Colby Covington is back in the spotlight, this time for being seen with the former U.S. President whom he admires the most. Talking about the event, following a rally in Wisconsin, Trump attended the game at Bryant-Denny Stadium to watch the Alabama Crimson Tide battle the Georgia Bulldogs. Subsequently, ‘Chaos’ shared a clip of the event on X.
“Best seat in the house,” Covington captioned the video.
His post garnered several reactions from fans. While few mocked Covington for sitting with Trump, others asked the fighter to return to the Octagon.
