Trump declares UFC championship belt in final financial disclosure as president

In his final financial disclosure report released after departing office, former president Donald Trump declared the UFC championship belt that was given to him by Colby Covington.

The report, obtained by The New York Times, lists the championship belt under “gifts and travel reimbursements” and values it at $650. The belt, which was presumably given to him by Covington during their Oval Office meeting in August 2018, carries the same value as the replica belts sold in the UFC’s online store.

During the reportedly hour-long Oval Office visit in 2018, Covington posed alongside Trump and UFC President Dana White, who was also in attendance that day.
