JAKARTA - Henry Cejudo's comments at an event for Republican candidate, Kari Lake, may give his persona "King ofringe" a new meaning.

To show his support for the future governor of Arizona, Cejudo was asked to be a speaker at an event entitled "Friday Night Fight Night with Kari Lake" as a resource person.

The former UFC champion declared himself "the first and most important person in America" to never be seen flying the Mexican flag.

"My message today, friends - as Latin Americans - is because first and especially I am an American... I was born in this country. I grew up in this country. Just like I love my culture, you will never see me with the Mexican flag," he said while on the podium.

Cejudo's claim is obviously a lie, MMA fans criticized him on Twitter. Internet users are confused as to why Cejudo chose to shrink from Mexico to emphasize how happy he is to be an American.

A fan who uses the Twitter account @FullContactMTWF made an observation that Cejudo's claim was actually a lie.

The Twitter user shared a "Triple C" image showing the Mexican flag proudly.

In the upcoming 2022 Arizona governor election, candidates from the Kari Lake Republican Party have received Henry Cejudo's official support.
