Well I did not think this night could get any Trumpier but boy was I wrong.
“Yeah a couple hours before this fight Donald trump called me and said knock that Russian mother fucker out because Putin and shit” -Derrick Lewis

Derrick Lewis just said "Trump called him and said he has to knock this russian motherfucker put because they are making him look bad in the media." How do you not love Derrick Lewis #UFC229 #UFC

There’s video but it’s a little tough to make out what he’s saying:

So apparently he’s known for joking and exaggerating, but I wouldn’t put it past Trump doing this.
Also, he makes a joke about why he took his pants off, but that’s a little PG-13:
