Henry Cejudo heard the fire alarm go off in his hotel around 2 a.m. on Oct. 9. He figured it was just a mistake.

“I looked outside my room, nothing is going on,” Cejudo told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour. “I look outside my bedroom window and nothing is going on. There are cars there, nothing is moving. I thought, ‘OK this is a malfunction.’”

So, Cejudo, who was in Santa Rosa, Calif., for a celebrity charity golf event, just went back to bed. He woke up at 4:30 a.m. coughing.
