Henry Cejudo praises Conor McGregor for meeting with Donald Trump
Conor McGregor was a special guest for St. Patrick's Day, meeting Donald Trump at the White House last week. During his visit, McGregor expressed his worries about several issues, including the increasing rate of illegal immigration in Ireland.
In a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, Henry Cejudo expressed his admiration for McGregor after his link-up with Trump, saying:
''I actually applaud Conor for that, man. For him to, you know, and he put his President on blast, bro. He was like ‘he ain’t doing s**t.’ Like, you know, he did in a political way, but he was right, man. I think the fact that Conor McGregor wants to go out there, says a lot about the sport of mixed martial arts.''
