Former UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington says he has walked away from his political ambitions.

"I love Trump, he’s a great guy, but I’m not especially interested in politics. In the future, you won’t see me taking part in election campaigns or being actively involved in politics. I don’t want any part of that anymore. It’s a dirty game, and loyalty is never rewarded. I used to dream of becoming governor of Florida, a senator, a congressman... But now I’m thinking, ‘Nah...’ I just want to focus on Real American Beer, take part in RAF Wrestling, and quietly do my own thing," Covington said, according to Bloody Elbow.
