Covington makes offensive comments comparing himself to Trump
Colby Covington continued his prefight trash talking during Thursday's UFC 225 conference call by referencing one of President Donald Trump's most infamous quotes.
The No. 4-ranked welterweight contender, who called Brazilian fans "dirty animals" after his last win, was asked about being an underdog against Rafael dos Anjos in their interim title fight next weekend.
"You know who else was an underdog? The leader of the free nation Donald Trump. And just like him, I will rule by grabbing these p---ies and putting them in their place," Covington told media members.

Much of Covington's trash talk blends together, as he has yet to speak in public without insulting at least one other person, but this latest barb is sure to not be forgotten quickly.
