Covington is an outspoken supporter of the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. After winning the Interim UFC Welterweight Championship, he stated he wanted to visit Trump at the White House to present him with the title,[52] which he did on August 2, 2018.[53]
He has described himself as the "super villain" of the UFC and will often try to upset people with brazen trash talking. Following his bout with Demian Maia in 2017, he called Brazil a "dump" and referred to the Brazilian crowd as "filthy animals" in the post-fight interview.[54] In an interview with Candace Owens, Covington said that his "act" was a response to the UFC threatening to cut him before the Maia fight and stated the "Filthy Animals" speech "saved his career."[55] Covington further embraced his villain status before his 2019 main event encounter with Robbie Lawler at UFC on ESPN 5. He used the WWE entrance theme of professional wrestler Kurt Angle—which is regularly punctuated with crowd chants of "You suck!"—as his entrance music; Angle had given Covington permission to use the theme. With two of Trump's sons, Donald Jr. and Eric cageside for the fight,[56] the crowd performed the "You suck!" chants during Covington's entrance.[57]
Covington continued his trash-talking in the lead up to the Kamaru Usman fight at UFC 245. During a press conference, he said that Usman gave Glenn Robinson, Usman's long-time coach who died in 2018, "a heart attack from all those years you were ducking me," and that Robinson would be "watching from hell on Dec. 14."[58] After losing to Usman at UFC 245, Covington criticized the referee of the bout, Marc Goddard. He called Goddard and his stoppage "fake", and said Goddard had unfairly given Usman breaks during the fight due to incorrect refereeing calls.[59] Covington said that Goddard is anti-Brexit and anti-Trump, and speculated that Goddard's political views influenced his refereeing decisions.[60]
