Khabib Nurmagomedov has cemented his legacy with his UFC career to be known as one of the greatest MMA fighters. He had a great championship run with notable fighters who failed to dethrone the Russian fighter. Many individuals widely recognize him. Recently, a video of former US President Donald Trump surfaced on the internet where Trump talked about Khabib’s legacy. However, this surprised many fans to watch Donald Trump complimenting Khabib Nurmagomedov over Colby Covington.
In that short clip, Donald Trump speaks about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s legacy in the UFC. He also pointed out why the former lightweight champion won’t return, naming him as a “fantastic” fighter. This is a big shock to fans to watch Trump ditching Colby Covington from his fantastic fighters and name the Dagestani fighter.
A UFC fan replied to the comments, “Somebody, please check on Colby”.
Meanwhile, some fans laughed at the clip where the former interim welterweight champion was excluded.

Following Covington’s win over Tyron Woodley for the interim belt, Donald Trump personally called to congratulate him. On multiple occasions, Covington mentions bringing back Trump to make the situation better in America.
