It's all about Trump. Covington named the reason why he was "judged" in the fight with Edwards

UFC welterweight Colby Covington believes he beat Leon Edwards but was "sued" because he supports Donald Trump.

“I think I did enough to win. The third, fourth and fifth rounds were left to me. In the third round, for example, he did not harm me. I threw several low kicks, but I fought them off. I think I've won. But the judges never liked me because I support Trump. Everyone in this building hates Trump, so there's nothing you can do about it. I haven't talked to Trump yet. I’ll probably do it later and thank him for attending this event,” the fighter said.

Let us remind you that Covington lost to Edwards by unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 296.
