Ortiz donned some Trump 2020 logos on his fight gear and after the win, even received a congratulations from President Donald Trump.
Trump issued that congratulations via Twitter:
Congratulations to @TitoOrtiz on tonight’s huge WIN, a Great American Patriot! https://t.co/m4tJpfzVte

This isn’t the first time Trump has been involved in MMA in some fashion, as the President Of The United States recently attended UFC 244, was part of a documentary about his role in the sport and hosted several UFC events in the Trump Taj Mahal a long time ago.
The victorious Ortiz has yet to respond to Trump, at least through social media, and is now in the midst of a three fight winning streak. Del Rio, on the other hand, is in the midst of a two fight losing streak and he hasn’t won a bout in nearly a decade.
