Colby Covington has outrageously claimed that the judges at UFC 296 were against him because they hate him while he supported Donald Trump

Trump, who is closely associated with 'Chaos', was on the sidelines to watch him lose to Leon Edwards by unanimous decision.

The ex-president received a thunderous welcome, but the crowd turned on Covington after he made very little threat or action during his five-rounder against the Brit.

At the post-fight press conference, Covington said: I give my performance a five out of ten and I could be here making excuses all day long, I should have zigged when I zagged and so on, but that's not the stuff I'm cut from. .'

But after saying he wouldn't offer any excuses for falling short, moments later he came up with a huge and far-fetched excuse.

He continued: “I thought I had done enough, I thought the third, fourth and fifth were easily mine.

He continued: 'I thought I had done enough, I thought the third, fourth and fifth were easily mine.'

“In the third he didn't do any damage to me, he got a few low kicks, but I started to control them at the end.

'I thought I had won, I thought I had done enough, but the jury never favored me. They hate me because I support Trump and everyone in this building hates Trump, so it is what it is, life goes on.”

Covington continued, “I haven't had a chance to talk to him (Trump) yet. I can probably talk to him afterwards and thank him so much for coming and making it a spectacle.'

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

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

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

'In the run-up he says that everything is a character. I'm not playing a character, I'm just me, I don't care what people think of me, I don't care what you think of me.

“All my haters in the world aren't doing any better than me. I'm here selling PPVs and getting the most famous person in the world to support me, so why should I care what you guys say or think about me.”
