UFC legend Frankie Edgar stumped for former President Trump at an event in Michigan with just days to go before most voters hit the polls for Election Day.

Edgar joined his fighting colleagues Rashad Evans and Henry Cejudo at a Yemeni restaurant to talk to Arab Americans in Dearborn, according to the New York Post. Trump had garnered support from Arab American groups in the state over the last few weeks.

The UFC Hall of Famer told the crowd he could empathize with their experience.

“I hate those celebrity videos telling us what to do. But we’re not Hollywood celebrities. We’re blue-collar fighters,” the New Jersey native said. “And before I was a fighter, I was a union plumber. Now that I retired, I own a business. I’m a family man. I have kids that go to school. 

“These are all issues that we have in common, and these are issues that I care about. And that’s why I’m voting for Donald Trump.”

Gaethje said the election cycle moved to the “championship rounds.”
