UFC fans are all geared up to witness the welterweight clash between Colby Covington and Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa. Covington, a three-time challenger for the undisputed title, has not seen action since a unanimous decision loss to Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC 296. Buckley, on the other hand, extended his undefeated welterweight record to 5-0 with a second-round KO over Stephen Thompson during the UFC 307 prelims.
So, fans are aware that Covington would need all the luck to win the fight, and it seems like ‘Chaos’ knows it too, as he introduced the world to his lucky Donald Trump necklace. At UFC Tampa, Covington was caught on camera showing off his Donald Trump necklace while walking in the Amalie Arena. This is a testament to the love that ‘Chaos’ has for Trump, as he has often been very vocal about his support for the President of the United States.

Fans give a reality check to Colby Covington as UFC Tampa clip goes viral
Taking to the comments after seeing the clip of UFC Tampa, fans were quick to remind the fighter that Donald Trump had walked out in the middle of Covington’s post-fight interview after his loss to Leon Edwards. So if he continues losing, there’s no denying that he would find no support from the president. They wrote, “He ain’t gonna fw bro if he keeps losing. Already walked out of his fight with a look of contempt.” and “He must have forgot Trump walked out early in the middle of his fight.”
Not just that, despite being asked about his favorite fighter numerous times, the billionaire never stated ‘Chaos’ as his favorite fighter even once. On the contrary, Covington would proudly claim that Donald Trump remains his favorite United States president of all time. This definitely is a sad truth for Covington, as it was pointed out by fans in the comments. They wrote comments such as “Meanwhile, Trump favourite fighter is Khabib and never mentions Colby,” “Trump would say Colby who?” and “Trump doesn’t care about this guy, though. 😂”

But the comments didn’t just stop there, as a highlight moment was provided by ‘Chaos’ himself during his UFC Tampa appearance with the necklace. In a moment that definitely caught others off guard, the UFC fighter kissed the Trump necklace like one kisses a cross to bring some good luck. This was a moment that made the fans laugh out loud as they soon took to social media comments to let their thoughts be known. Mocking the UFC fighter for this rather odd gesture, some users wrote, “Dudes kissing it like it’s the cross, 🤣” “Why’d he kiss it? 😭” and “Didn’t this dude just call Jon Jones gay? 😭😭😭😭”
Well, it surely looks like fans love to mock the 36-year-old fighter. But it would be interesting to see if he manages to have a last laugh by winning his fight against Joaquin Buckley tonight. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
