Tito Ortiz: Colby Covington just ‘spreading the truth,’ will attend UFC 245 as his guest

Colby Covington may not have many fans cheering for him at UFC 245 on Saturday night but there will be at least one prominent mixed martial arts legend firmly in his corner.

UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz told MMA Fighting on Friday that he will be traveling to Las Vegas to support Covington as he seeks to become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world when he clashes with Kamaru Usman in the main event.

The fighters became friends through mutual support of President Donald Trump and now Ortiz will sit cage side to root for Covington in the biggest fight of his career.
