Donald Trump followed up his appearance at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in New York City on Saturday night by retweeting an obscene comment from one of the fighters.

Jorge Masvidal, who won the headline fight against Nate Diaz, was asked his opinion of the President in the run-up to the event.

“No matter what your views on Trump as a president, the guy’s a bad motherfucker,” said the Florida welterweight. The comment appeared to reference the fact that Masvidal fought Diaz for the “Baddest Motherfucker in the Game” belt.

On Sunday morning, Trump retweeted the video, along with the obscenity, and wrote “Great fight Champ!”
