Former UFC multi-division champion Henry Cejudo was in attendance for Donald Trump's rally in Las Vegas. The ex-POTUS introduced Cejudo by mentioning his accolades and wondered whether he would get the better of 'Triple C' in a fight.
"He won the Olympic gold medal... and was the UFC champion numerous times, I'd say. I wonder if I could take him, I'm a little larger than him. I wonder if I could take him in a fight."
Before Cejudo got on the stage, Trump called out his name but ended up mispronouncing it multiple times.

Cejudo then proceeded to shower praise on Trump for his contributions to the country. The 37-year-old also mentioned how out of his love for the United States, he had named his daughter 'America'.
"Well Mr. President, I'm just honored. I think I would've just bent the knee. I would never fight you. For what you do for our country and the fact that you are willing to risk your life, which you have no reason to do, you do this for the people. It means a lot. And as I told you before... I love this country so much that... I named my daughter 'America'. I appreciate what you've done. I appreciate what you're doing and let's continue to keep making America great again."

Cejudo was last seen in action in February. He went up against Merab Dvalishvili in a bantamweight clash at UFC 298. The event was held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
The night did not go well for 'Triple C' as he was outclassed by Dvalishvili for the majority of the fight. 'The Machine' ended up taking home the victory via unanimous decision. All three judges scored the bout 29-28 in favor of Dvalishvili.
