“It really doesn’t matter what Dana White thinks of me,” Covington said at the RAF 5 post-fight press conference. “I’m a world champion. I’m Donald Trump’s favorite fighter. I’m America’s champion. I’m the king of Miami. You can never take those titles away from me.”
It’s hard to take away something that doesn’t exist.
“Take me out of the rankings, whatever,” Covington (17-5) added. “I’m still the biggest draw at welterweight. It makes no difference what number is next to my name. I know what I’m capable of, and I know I’m still the best fighter and wrestler on planet Earth.”
