“They're gonna be front row at my fight this weekend when I retire Robbie Lawler,” Covington said. “This is official.”
Covington was the interim welterweight champion for a time and took his belt to the White House to meet with Trump. Covington also offered to speak at the Republican National Convention in 2020.
Covington is ranked No. 2 in the official UFC welterweight rankings. He was stripped of his interim title after he was forced to skip a unification title bout against Tyron Woodley due to nasal surgery.
