Clay Guida won at yesterdays UFC Fight Night 63 and during his post-fight octagon interview he rambled about President Barack Obama, Easter and wrestling.<\/p>\n

A lot of people wondered what exactly he was trying to get at. Was he calling the president out? Well during the post-fight press conference Guida went to work on clearing up his statement. After all you don’t want the secret service on you, a la Jacob Volkmann.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said, first I wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter on a very sacred holiday, because without the big man above, none of this would even be possible. And then I said, \u2018With all due respect, Mr. Obama, if you\u2019re not too busy golfing or playing with your bracketology and your NCAA Final Four things, or if you\u2019re handling our nation\u2019s important issues \u2013 hopefully you are. Come on over to Fairfax, Viginia, which I think is your backyard or side yard, and watch the fastest growing sport in the world. And, if you couldn\u2019t be live at this one \u2013 I know a lot of fans would have liked to see him and his wife here \u2013 maybe you\u2019ll make another one down the road.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I wasn\u2019t trying to be disrespectful, but it is the fastest growing sport in the world. And It\u2019d be nice to see some of those bigger names, important people in our country get behind it and support it a little bit more. No disrespect toward their direction. It\u2019s such an important sport and it\u2019s growing so quickly. We\u2019re on FOX for a reason. I hope we\u2019re not getting \u2013 you know, the NCAA\u2019s March Madness. What about MMA madness? Don\u2019t forget about these guys that are out doing world tours right now. McGregor and these guys that are out trying to build our sport, Aldo and all these guys that are all over.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to let them know that we\u2019re right here in Fairfax. We\u2019re just down the road.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Would the president ever attend a UFC event? Tell us why or why not in the comments.<\/p>\n
