TMZ SPORTS — UFC star Yair Rodriguez — who was born in Mexico — says it’s “cool” that Donald Trump wants to take care of the “bad hombres” south of border … and thinks POTUS could be the guy to help fix his country.
The topic arose after Trump reportedly placed a call to Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto and warned that he might send U.S. troops if the Mexican military couldn’t control the “bad hombres down there.”
“I mean I think that’s cool, you know?” Rodriguez told TMZ Sports … “We have some troubles in Mexico right now.”
Yair said he’s not sure sending U.S. troops is the answer — but it seemed like he was happy Trump wants to get involved in fixing the issues in his homeland.
Rodriguez — who was at the Celebrate the Game Kickoff Party Presented by Recoup Fitness — also reflected on his fight with B.J. Penn and explained why he’ll always respected the UFC legend.
