Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington recently spoke up about the recently concluded US presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump.
'Chaos' is one of many professional athletes, particularly UFC fighters, who are vocal in their support for Trump. On the much-discussed and meme'd presidential debate, Covington accused the moderators of being biased towards Harris.
The former interim welterweight champ took to X to express his opinions, tweeting:
"It’s obvious after that debate the corrupt propaganda machine is behind Comrade Kamala… but she’ll need more than that to stop the MAGA movement! 🦅 #PresidentialDebate"

In the video, Covington said:
"There was a clear agenda by the so-called 'non-biased moderators'. They had no problem interrupting [Donald] Trump with fake fact checks. But then Kamala [Harris] is allowed to just lie through her teeth and dance around questions without giving an answer."
Covington then proceeded to lash out at the ABC debate moderators, saying:
"Let's fact-check this ABC moderators real quick. What source should we cite? I don't know, how 'bout ABC News? [shows contradicting ABC news article] This is why nobody believes you. You ignore eyewitness accounts of violent migrant crimes. These violent criminals eating our pets, they're murdering our fellow Americans...In closing, it's Donald Trump against the system. It's CNN's job to take Biden out, and ABC's job to build Kama up."
Colby Covington provides profanity-laced assessment of UFC welterweight champ Belal Muhammad
Outside expressing his strong political views, Colby Covington also has a penchant for criticizing his fellow fighters. In his recent appearance on Submission Radi, 'Chaos' slammed Belal Muhammad's recent world title win over Leon Edwards at UFC 304.
Not mincing words, Covington said:
“You know, he’s [Belal Muhammad] obviously on the right steroids right now. He’s doing the right cycles. So you know he had a one night, lightning-in-a-bottle type performance."
Covington added:
"He’s the supposed paper champ right now, but no one cares, he doesn’t draw flies to sh*t. So it’s not like he’s going to make any money with that belt. He’s going to do as he’s told." [H/t: MMA Mania]
