Covington ignores White's words: "I'm Trump's favorite fighter"

Colby Covington responded to UFC CEO Dana White's words, who questioned his ranking among fighters.

“It really doesn't matter what Dana White thinks of me. I'm the world champion, I'm Donald Trump's favorite fighter, I'm the champion of America, I'm the king of Miami. You will never take these titles away from me. So scratch me out of the rankings, do whatever you want. I'm still the biggest draw among welterweights, so it doesn't matter what number is next to my name. I know what I'm capable of, and I know I'm still the best fighter and wrestler on the planet,” Covington stated.

Let me remind you, Covington is still in the top 15 welterweight, although he hasn't won in UFC since 2022.
