Covington and Trump have a history of supporting each other leading up to the November election, and Trump even reached out to Covington following a fight in September when he beat rival Tyron Woodley by way of TKO.
"You are a great fighter, man. I’ll tell you," Trump said at the time. "You make it so easy, I don’t know how the hell you do it."
Covington responded: "Thank you so much Mr. President. You gave me the dragon energy when you shook my hand on Sunday at your rally. It doesn’t matter if King Kong was in front of me, I was not going to lose after getting to shake your hand and be at your rally."
"I’m proud of you man," Trump replied. "I’m a big fan and I’m proud of you. You’re tough, you have the right spirit."
After that fight, Covington posted a picture with Trump with a special message of his own.
