UFC star KOs opponent, pays tribute to Trump

'Fox & Friends Weekend' hosts discuss President Donald Trump attending UFC 314 in Miami this weekend. 

UFC star Dominick Reyes made quick work of Nikita Krylov on Saturday night in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 314 and paid tribute to President Donald Trump.

With about 2:39 left in the first round, Krylov leaned forward to jab Reyes. He leaned too far forward and got caught. Reyes hit him with a left and Krylov folded. He got Krylov on the ground with hammer fists twice before the referee came over and stopped the fight.

Reyes then ran over to Trump, who was sitting with Dana White, Elon Musk and others near the cage, pointed at the president and bowed.

It was Reyes’ third consecutive win. He knocked out Dustin Jacoby last June and then Anthony Smith in December. Before that, he was on a four-fight losing streak with losses to Jon Jones, Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka and Ryan Spann. Emotions were running high after the fight.

"It sucked," a teary-eyed Reyes said of his losing streak, "but my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my faith in myself and my family, it kept me grounded, it kept me here. I’m still here fighting. Anything that’s going on in your life, guys, just keep fighting. Never give up. You go down, get up again. Just keep going. There are brighter days ahead. Jesus has your back."
