Donald Trump, the former president, has been spotted at several UFC events this year. He attended UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden and is currently in Las Vegas for UFC 296. This marks his fourth appearance at a UFC pay-per-view event in 2022. Trump made a grand entrance alongside UFC president Dana White, musician Kid Rock, and actor Mario Lopez. One of Trump's biggest supporters, Colby Covington, will be fighting in the main event to regain the welterweight title against Leon Edwards. Covington expressed his admiration for Trump, stating that if he wins the bout, he wants Trump to personally place the championship belt on him. Covington sees Trump as his biggest role model and believes there is no one better than the former president to give him the belt. Trump's appearance at UFC 287 was in support of Jorge Masvidal, whom he has developed a friendship with. However, Masvidal lost his fight that night and retired afterwards. Covington has a career record of 17-3 and has won his last fight against Masvidal. Edwards, the favorite in the upcoming bout, has a record of 21-3 and took the welterweight title from Kamaru Usman in his home country of England.
