welterweight title challenger and lightweight had fans confused at the UFC 296 press conference when a heated exchange quickly turned into an unlikely bond over their American roots. Covington and Ferguson were present to promote Saturday's pay-per-view in which both are slated to fight British opposition. Ferguson will face surging Merseyside native while Covington challenges champion for the welterweight strap. The profanity-filled exchange began when Ferguson interrupted the visibly patriotic Covington about being 'more American'. The minute-long back and forth included Covington jabbing at Ferguson's six-fight losing streak and belittling their respective weight classes. Ferguson also told Covington: 'Get Trump's s**k out of your mouth,' before expressing their mutual support for each other.
