Colby Covington has outrageously claimed the UFC 296 jury went against him because they hated that he supported Donald Trump

Trump, who is closely associated with “Chaos,” watched as he lost unanimously to Leon Edwards.

The ex-president was given a rousing reception, but the crowd turned against Covington after he showed very little threat or action during his five-round match against the Brit.

In the post-fight press conference, Covington said: “I rate my performance a five out of ten and I could sit here all day and make excuses, I should have zigged when I zagged and so on, but that's not the material , from which I am carved.” .'

But after saying he wouldn't make any excuses for falling short, moments later he made a gigantic and far-fetched excuse.

He continued: “I thought I had done enough, I thought third, fourth and fifth would be easy for me.”

He continued: “I thought I had done enough, I thought third, fourth and fifth place would easily be mine.”

“In the third round he didn’t do any damage to me, he did a few low kicks, but at the end I started checking them.”

“I thought I won, I thought I did enough, but the judges never favor me, they hate me because I support Trump and everyone in this building hates Trump, so it is what it is, life continues.”

Covington continued, “I haven't had a chance to talk to him (Trump). “I'll probably get to talk to him afterward and thank him very much for coming out and making the whole thing a spectacle.”

The controversial American angered Edwards on Thursday because he said he would see his late father in hell.

“Rocky's” father was murdered when he was 13, and Covington then doubled down on his statement Friday, accusing Edwards Sr. of being a “sex trafficker, drug lord and murderer.”

When asked if this was all just part of his character, created to sell fights, and if he regretted his words, Covington replied: “I'm not a character, I say what I want, when I want, That’s what bosses do.”

“He says up front that everything is a character. “I'm not playing a character, I'm just myself, I don't give a shit what people think about me. Why should I care what you think about me?

“All my haters in the world are no better than me.” I'm up here selling PPVs to get the most famous person in the world to support me. So why should I care what any of you say or think about me?'
