Rubio said the demand from world leaders has become so intense that the administration may soon face a diplomatic headache over who gets invited and who gets left out.

RUBIO: “I can tell you this is true and I can tell you about your global reach because the president and I have another job and spend a lot of time at the White House…”

“The number of foreign leaders that want to come to this is unbelievable!”

“It’s to the point where we may have a diplomatic crisis…”

[Crowd cracks up]

“Because it’s like we can’t bring everybody…and some of them don’t even have a fighter in the fight from their country.”

“They just want to come because they’re fans of the sport and they follow it.”
