| 1:44.2 | Colby Covington, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It's an honor to be here. Thanks for having you, Charlie. The champion. I've been seeing you on TV. My favorite clip of yours is when you're celebrating, you just get a call from the president. You've been unafraid to wear the Make America Great Again hat, keep America great hat. I guess when you win, you could do whatever you want. That's true. And, you know, I don't have, I don't have these owners or people telling me what I got to do or the woke mob, you know, trying to cancel me. You know, we're independent contractors in the UFC. So, you know, my beliefs, my freedoms don't stop there. You know, I get to do whatever I want to say what I want, and I'm not going to be muzzled. Yeah, what I love is seeing on ESPN and they have to air your post-fight interview. You're wearing that beautiful Keep America. Great hat is terrific. What's been the response from other fighters from that? Does some not like it? Some ask you to stop? You know, some people, they get jealous, you know, they want to follow that trend they see that you know the numbers that it's doing you know and you know that that call with the president on fight night i had 10 million viewers on the espn page so they can't deny me i'm undeniable you know that's the highest rated and numbers the the show's ever done with that call so you know i think a lot of people they fall on those steps, but they also, they don't want to receive the backlash. There's a lot of negative |
| 2:21.4 | that comes with being a Trump supporter or a Republican, you know. It's not the cool thing. I don't think Antifa's going to mess with you anytime soon, though. I hope so, man. I was telling president. Send me out there, man. Put me in the middle of the Antifa, man. Let me go. |
| 2:33.9 | So, so you've been fighting for almost your whole life? Yeah, since I was six years old, I got into wrestling and karate, and, you know, it's just something I fell in love with at a young age, and I just love combat sports. So I just figured it's the best way to make a living and provide for my family is by going one down the route as a professional fighter. It's amazing. And so you're, how long do they give you a heads up before you? So I know very little about fighting, to be honest, but I'm fascinated in high performers and how people dedicate themselves to excellence. So I'm just super curious. So how long do you have before someone they tell you when your next fight is? |
