Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy took at shot at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for spending time at a UFC fight instead of trying to convince GOP voters who didn't turn out for Tuesday's election.

During a Sunday discussion on Fox & Friends, co-host Will Cain said he had attended a UFC fight with Trump and called the atmosphere "electric."

"And it was the loudest applause of the night for any fighter, for any event, it was, and then the crowd erupted into a chant of USA, USA," Cain recalled. "And look, you just don't get that with many politicians."

But Campos-Duffy suggested the UFC crowd would do Trump little good come election time.

"Yeah, well, that's the kind of crowd he attracts," she said. "People who like to watch UFC, for example. I don't think a lot of those people were at that Tuesday election, for example."

"The demographic that voted this past week is a little more, they say, is a little more upscale," she added. "And so it's interesting to see, will all those kind, will the middle of America, the working class Americans, a lot of them who turn into UFC matches, will they be the ones who turn out in the presidential election?"
