Covington calls out Pimblett for White House fight
Colby Covington criticized Paddy Pimblett as an "amateur" after Pimblett's recent main-event loss and said he wants to settle their backstage dispute in the cage.
Covington, a prominent supporter of President Trump, suggested the matchup could headline a projected UFC event on the White House lawn next June.
He also floated the idea that Pimblett might compete at welterweight going forward and presented the bout as a high-profile U.S.-vs.-U.K. attraction.
The remarks were made in a recent interview and have been reported by MMA outlets on Jan. 29, 2026.
