UFC Champion Rips Into 'Filthadelphia Eagles' -- Wants to Celebrate His Win Like a 'Real American'

[Initech]

UFC fighter Colby Covington told reporters he wanted to celebrate his championship win like a “real American” at the White House with President Donald Trump — unlike the “Filthadelphia Eagles.” During a press conference following his win, he explained to reporters that he told everyone he'd make the “welterweight division great again” and that he did “everything I said I was going to do.”

“Now I'm going to celebrate the way a real American should celebrate winning a world title, and that's going to the White House to see Mr. Donald Trump and put (the belt) on his desk,” he shared. Covington then took aim at the Super Bowl champions and said that his celebratory plans are “unlike the Filthadelphia Eagles,” who are “disrespecting our country's flag by kneeling for the national anthem.”

While some of the Eagles players have strong feelings about Trump and his comments about the national anthem protest, not one player on the roster kneeled during the 2017 regular season.This isn't the first time Covington has taken a jab at the Eagles. Ahead of his big fight, he called the many Eagles players who declined an invitation to Washington, D.C., a “joke.”

“They live in the city of liberty, man — the Liberty Bell is right down the street. Their mascot is the eagle,” he told MMA Junkie. “That's the American flag's mascot.” He added that he couldn't “wait” to take the belt to the Oval Office and “put it on Trump's desk,” opining that the Eagles “suck.”

I knew there was a reason why I didn't like UFC, now it's becoming pretty clear!

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Dump attracts only 'the best and the brightest.'

[Initech]

2. I only want "the best people", OK! Yuge! Bigly!

[brush]

3. What an uninformed jerk. The Eagles didn't kneel.

And since when does an unknown UFC fighter in one of many weight classes get an invite?

[Initech]

4. Yeah I was wondering the same thing.

[MagickMuffin]

8. Oh he'll get one now. . . . All Hail trump'd

This guy has obviously taken too many head kicks, body slams, and what other BS these guys do to one another.

[DinahMoeHum]

5. I wonder how many concussions this guy has.

[Nevernose]

6. "The eagle is the American flag's mascot"

I couldn’t make that shit up if I tried.

[Initech]

10. Yeah I lost a few IQ points reading that.

[LudwigPastorius]

12. That man is eat up with the dumbs.

Typical Trumpster.

[Aristus]

7. Spoken like a pugilistic thug who has taken one too many shots to the head.

[GusBob]

9. Don't do drugs, kids. Nt

11. Meryl Streep was right, MMA is not art.

With that said, repeal the Mohamed Ali Act.

These combat sport ding dongs are mostly right wing conspiracy/born again nuts. They rail against government, call people who want government help lazy, yet want the government to protect themselves. Typical conservatives, only looking out for themselves.

Repeal the act and let them fight "dog eat dog" for their "fair" wages. Make them live by their words.

[mythology]

14. Do you have any sort of legitimate citation for the claim that they are mostly Republican?

[Dawson Leery]

15. Social media.

Alot of them backed Conman, none Hillary.

Social media is where most people let out their true feelings.

Also, wrestling is another right wing scumbag sport, and I'm not talking about the McMahon freak show.

[Johonny]

13. Covington has self-described himself as the "super villain" of the UFC and will often intentionally

try to upset people with brazen trash talking.

From Wikipedia. Meaning it's all an act to sell more product. Hate him or love him, so long as you pay to watch...

[Initech]

16. I would never pay to watch.

Especially with their obscene pay per view fees. If I'm paying that much for something, it's not going to be a fight.

[malaise]

17. Do they test them - that neck sure looks fat

[GoCubsGo]

19. He should increase the fiber in his diet.

He looks constipated.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Colby who?

I never heard of this assclown. I am sure the Eagles players are just heartbroken that some fake fighter thinks they suck.

[MariaCSR]

20. PREDICTION: Colby Covington found guilty of juicing, stripped of title

You heard it here first.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

21. Let me be the first to ask......

..."WHO?"

...."WHO CARES?"

....."WTF?"

[jmowreader]

22. Oh lord, he isn't even the real champion

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UFC_champions#Welterweight_Championship Covington is the "interim champion." The real champion is Tyron Woodley, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.

Hopefully the next fight this guy has sees him beaten to a bloody pulp.

[Initech]

24. Ha!!!!!

And yes I would pay to see this asshole get the crap beat out of him!

[VMA131Marine]

23. This guy is going to need a food taster to go with him if he is ever in Philly
