It has been a well-known fact for several years that Donald Trump has the majority of the MMA world on his side. On Sept. 13, the 2024 presidential candidate had another member of the community publicly endorse him as he brought former champion Henry Cejudo on stage with him in Las Vegas.
However, Cejudo's mere presence was not the primary talking point of the event. Instead, MMA fans focused on how Trump introduced the fighter at his rally as he struggled to pronounce the Mexican-American's last name.
Check out Donald Trump's comments on Henry Cejudo below:
Fans could not stop themselves from sharing a laugh when Trump struggled with his guest's surname. One fan called the introduction "insane" by commenting:
"CENUDO CENUNO is insane"
While Cejudo has lived his entire life in the United States, his parents are immigrants from Mexico. Regardless of the pronunciation issue, Cejudo gracefully endorsed Trump on stage, saying that he named his daughter America in honor of the former president.
Other fans commented:
"Hell yeah Henry Cenudo title run starts now"
"Podcast with Usman boutta be heated"
"Trump's illegitimate son, Henry Cejoodo"

Where is Henry Cejudo from?
Born in Los Angeles, California, and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Henry Cejudo is of Mexican descent but is an American citizen. 'Triple C' endured a difficult upbringing as a child of immigrants and saw his father get deported at a young age but always succeeded in athletics through his development.
In 2008, Cejudo made the United States wrestling team and won a gold medal in the 55-kilogram division.
After his wrestling career concluded, Cejudo returned to Arizona to pursue MMA with the Fight Ready MMA Team in Scottsdale. The 37-year-old has remained with Fight Ready and has become one of the gym's wrestling and MMA coaches as he nears the end of his competitive career.
