Paddy Pimblett on Colby Covington and Donald Trump
UFC welterweight Colby Covington has often taken photos with his idol Donald Trump when they are together at various golf courses. The US-born athlete has not been active in the octagon for some time as he asserts that he was campaigning with President-Elect Trump.
The next US President Donald Trump has long been a UFC and MMA fan. He even explained that his favorite fighters are Dustin Poirier and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Trump was vocally thankful for the support from UFC president Dana White.
The English-born UFC lightweight “The Baddy” Paddy Pimblett has noticed that Covington has been less active in the octagon and says that the American athlete should be embarrassed by his right-wing worship. In an exclusive interview with LowKickMMA, Pimblett explained:
“Colby Covington is a bad helmet. I’ll f***in punch Colby Carvington’s head. I will. I’m game to fight him. I’ll fight him at welterweight and I’ll f***in batter him.
“He’s probably talking all s**t in the video. He just sucks Donald Trump to the a***, doesn’t he? But I think he’s just doing that for publicity through Trump. Because he knows Trump’s going to be the president again. He’s just clinging on to Trump. Being a cling-on, when Trump doesn’t really care about him.“
Pimblett is a former two-division champion in Cage Warriors and has been on a six-fight win streak in the UFC.
