Presidential Candidate Donald Trump struggled to introduce Henry Cejudo at a recent rally. Cejudo, the son of illegal immigrants, has earned acclaim as a two-division UFC Champion and an Olympic Gold Medalist. During a rally, Trump tried and failed to say Cejudo’s name as he appeared to forget.

Donald Trump Struggles with Henry Cejudo’s Name at Rally

Son of immigrants, Henry Cejudo began his athletic career in wrestling, where he excelled in high school and went on to win numerous national and international titles, culminating in a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in freestyle wrestling. He set a record for the youngest American wrestler to earn a gold medal in history.

Cejudo would then switch to MMA and pick up two world titles in the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. He then retired, then later came back. During his comeback, he has struggled to find success.

Henry Cejudo is the son of immigrants. His mother, Nelly Rico, was an illegal immigrant from Mexico, while his father, Jorge Cejudo, also had Mexican roots but struggled with addiction and abusive behavior. After his father’s deportation when Cejudo was six, his mother moved the family to Phoenix, Arizona, where she worked multiple jobs to support her seven children.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump is a coastal billionaire, born of a rich family, known for his luxury hotels, and has led multiple businesses into bankruptcy. Trump has tried success with various ventures such as Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump’s Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Trump Castle, Trump Entertainment Resorts, GoTrump.com, Trump Steaks, Affliction, and Trump Mortgage. All of which defaulted on loans or filed for bankruptcy. In 2020, Donald Trump lost the presidential election for his campaign, as his opponent got over 81 million votes. He is now trying to rebid in 2024.

In Las Vegas, Nevada, the 78-year-old Donald Trump tried his best to introduce Henry Cejudo at a rally after insulting his height. But, instead, he seemed to forget his last name by saying “Henry…” and drifted off. Then he introduced him as “Henry Cenuho,” multiple times.

Henry Cejudo then went on stage and did not correct the pronunciation of his name and said he would bend the knee for Trump.

Watch: Sean O’Malley Shows up to Interview, Insults Host, Signs off

Days away from his highly anticipated return to the Octagon, Sean O’Malley took some time out of his busy schedule to troll Henry Cejudo.

Little more than a year removed from his shocking second-round knockout of Aljamain Sterling, ‘Sugar’ will put his bantamweight belt on the line for the second time when he meets the division’s top-ranked contender Merab Dvalishvili in the UFC 306 headliner.

With fight night rapidly approaching, O’Malley has been busy with media obligations and promotional appearances. Still, that didn’t stop ‘Sugar’ from taking a little time out of his way to speak with former UFC champions Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo on their Pound 4 Pound podcast.

However, O’Malley had no intention of sticking around for very long.

“Boys, you know I’m a very busy man so I’ll keep this short. I came here for two reasons. 1) to praise you, Kamaru. You’re an absolute legend and 2) Henry, how’d you let Aljo take you down so easy?” O’Malley asks with an accompanying maniacal laugh before abruptly exiting the interview.

Clearly, O’Malley was only interested in trolling Cejudo who lost to both Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili in his last two outings.

‘Triple C’ has some work to do before he can share the octagon with Sean O’Malley

After O’Malley bailed, Cejudo pleaded his case for a shot at the champion following UFC 306, but all signs point toward Umar Nurmagomedov being next in line following his decision victory over Cory Sandhagen last month.

Once upon a time, it appeared as though O’Malley and Cejudo were on a collision course, but back-to-back losses inside the Octagon have taken ‘Triple C’ out of the bantamweight title picture for the time being. Following his loss to Dvalishvili in February, Cejudo confirmed his intent to continue fighting, though he has not yet booked a return.

Despite not winning a fight since 2020, Cejudo is still the No. 6 ranked contender in the bantamweight division and likely remains one solid win away from a shot reclaiming the division’s top prize.

‘Am I A Snitch?’ – Henry Cejudo Drops Inside Information On Sean O’Malley’s Camp For Merab Dvalishvili Fight

At this point, it’s common knowledge in MMA circles that Henry Cejudo and Sean O’Malley aren’t good friends. Both fighters have discredited each other’s fighting styles and skills frequently; from the looks of it, things haven’t improved yet. In the latest Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry podcast episode, O’Malley trolled the hosts by […]

Henry Cejudo Predicts Merab Dvalishvili Will Stop Sean O’Malley, Plans Return to 125lbs

Former UFC double champion and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo has some strong beliefs about what will happen when bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley and his challenger Merab Dvalishvili throw down in the cage at UFC 306.

The former featherweight and bantamweight champion stepped away from his titles after a victory over bantamweight legend Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. At that point in time, Henry Cejudo had all the money that he desired but no time to play with it. When he retired, he mentioned his desire to relax, start a family, and give up the brutal fight game.

However, it was easier said than done, and Cejudo could never fully bring himself to walk away from it. He stayed vocal about MMA’s current events and even fighters’ performances. He wanted back into the mix, and three years later, he would have his chance against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288 for the bantamweight title.

Henry Cejudo Plans return to featherweight, doubts Sean O’Malley’s chances against Merab Dvalishvili

Cejudo would not return to MMA after his retirement and score a victory over an active and in-his-prime champion. In fact, Sterling defeated him. Cejudo would go on and lose another battle at UFC 298, this time to Sterling’s close friend and training partner, Merab Dvalishvili.

Now, Dvalishvili is finally getting a long-awaited title shot against Sean O’Malley, and Cejudo is confident that he can walk away as the victor.

“This is my prediction,” Henry Cejudo said during an interview with MMA Junkie reps (H/T BJ Penn.com). “Merab Dvalishvili is going to stop Sean O’Malley at the Sphere. He’s going to beat him. He’s going to either 50-45 him, maybe not 50-45 because he may lose the first two rounds or the first one at least. He’s going to beat him, but once Umar (Nurmagomedov) comes in, he’s just going to have his way with Merab. He really is. Umar is really good, really technical.”

Now hanging in a sort of MMA limbo, Henry Cejudo is an undesirable money fight for many guys. Defeating him doesn’t do much for your resume. Sure, he used to be the double champ, and he’s ‘Triple C’ and all, but that was a long time ago now. Currently, he’s just an aging fighter who fights across two divisions that are notoriously favorable to the younger opponent. A loss to him would be much more traumatic to a fighter’s career than the benefits of defeating him would be, as far as risk and reward is concerned.

“There could be a potential return at flyweight,” Henry Cejudo continued. “These are a lot of things I’m contemplating, potentially going back down. With the bantamweight division getting hot and with the newcomers coming in, there’s been a lot of thought of me going back down and getting a fight with Moreno and winning the belt once again. There’s a lot of cool stuff. These are kind of things I really want to think about and really decide once I get home and once, I’m injury-free. It’s just one little thing, but it’s a major thing. Because I’m going to be making a commitment to go out there and just do another run, do another run at these titles and dedicate myself like I was before.”

“I’m after gold now,” Henry Cejudo affirmed. “I think if I do go down to 125 pounds and stay disciplined, I don’t think there’s anyone that can beat me. Plus, I think there’s a fun fight with Brandon Moreno. He wanted to fight me at 135 and then he backed out like a little b*tch. Now, I think if I go down and I beat him in Mexico, in his own country, I think that could be a big-ass payday too.”

Do you also think that Henry Cejudo goes down to 125lbs just to get smashed by Brandon Moreno or Alexandre Pantoja?

Sean O’Malley’s Coach On Henry Cejudo: ‘Thinks He’s God’s Gift…’

Suffice to say, UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O’Malley and his team haven’t sought the aid of Henry Cejudo ahead of their upcoming showdown with Merab Dvalishvili… O’Malley is set to make his second defense of the title later this month inside the unique surroundings of the Sphere in Las Vegas, where he’ll headline the second […]

Suffice to say, UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O’Malley and his team haven’t sought the aid of Henry Cejudo ahead of their upcoming showdown with Merab Dvalishvili…

O’Malley is set to make his second defense of the title later this month inside the unique surroundings of the Sphere in Las Vegas, where he’ll headline the second edition of Noche UFC six months on from his five-round beatdown of Marlon “Chito” Vera.

Next looking to unseat “Sugar” is Dvalishvili, an in-form Georgian who has won 10 straight to earn his long-awaited first opportunity at UFC gold.

“The Machine’s” path to the top has included memorable performances against the likes of Marlon Moraes and Petr Yan, but he perhaps saved his best for last when he squared off against a former simultaneous two-division champ at UFC 298 this past February. Dvalishvili collided with Cejudo on the main card in Anaheim, further stalling “Triple C’s” pursuit of regaining the belt with a comfortable victory on the scorecards.

While that left Cejudo with 15 minutes experience of what the Georgian contender brings to the Octagon, O’Malley’s team doesn’t believe he could offer them any advice of value in the lead-up to September 14.

O’Malley’s Coach Not Interested In Tips From Ex-Dvalishvili Opponent Cejudo

During a recent interview for Bodog Canada, coach Tim Welch looked ahead to his man’s second assignment of 2024, which is currently set to see O’Malley’s challenger make the walk as the favorite.

But while Welch and co. no doubt have plenty of ways in mind to combat Dvalishvili’s perceived edge in certain realms, picking the brain of an ex-bantamweight and flyweight titleholder, Fight Ready coach, and former opponent of the Georgian’s is not one of them.

“I don’t know if that (talking to Cejudo) would help,” Welch said. “Everyone I’ve talked to that tried to talk to Henry, even coaches, they have a tough time working with Henry because he thinks he’s god’s gift to this green Earth, and you can’t teach him nothing, and his way is the way. But clearly it’s not, because Merab ragdolled him. So that’s definitely not the guy we want tips from.”

O’Malley will look to do a better job at stifling Dvalishvili’s offense than Cejudo did come fight night at Las Vegas’ Sphere in less than two weeks’ time.

The pair’s bantamweight championship clash will top a lineup that also includes another title bout, with flyweight queen Alexa Grasso and all-time great Valentina Shevchenko set to complete their trilogy in the co-main event.
