UFC star Colby Covington is continuing his conspiracy theory about his decision loss to UFC 296 last weekend, claiming the judges rigged the decision against him because he supports Donald Trump.
Covington first made the comments at the UFC 296 press conference after his convincing loss.
This week, Covington appeared on FOX News and once again brought up the theory while speaking to anchor Jesse Waters.
“I do believe that, I think they stack the deck against us because they don’t want we the people to have control of this country again and that’s what Trump stands for, he stands for democracy, he stands for freedom, they’re going to everything they can do keep us down, from shadowbanning us online, they’re going to make us censored and not let the people see that,” Covington said.

“If it’s judging another athletic sporting event, they’re going to stack the deck against us. It’s a sad time in our country, but we, the people, need to rise up; we can’t let this keep us down.”
Covington is known for his outrageous comments and trolling his opponents and fans, which is once again on display.
Edwards defeated Covington by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) in the main event at T-Mobile Arena to retain the UFC welterweight title.
