Henry
Cejudo doesn't want families to be involved in his ongoing feud
with Brendan
Allen.

Cejudo and Allen are both married to Brazilians. However, the
former
Ultimate Fighting Championship two-division titleholder has
previously criticized Allen for representing Brazil in the Octagon.
Cejudo also slammed Allen for playing it safe when asked about
fighter pay, leading the latter to label the former's podcast
“trash.†Their wives are now seemingly involved in the
back-and-forth.

Henry Cejudo says Brendan Allen's wife sent ‘nasty' messages to
his wife

After Sean
Strickland's latest outburst about UFC fighter pay, Allen was
asked about the same after his win over Christian
Leroy Duncan at
UFC Vegas 122. Allen opted against criticizing the promotion,
drawing a strong response from Cejudo, who now claims the UFC
middleweight's wife has gotten involved in the feud.

Cejudo claims his wife received a “nasty†message from Allen's
wife. The Olympic gold medalist doesn't want their families to be
involved.

“Brendan Allen's wife sent a nasty message to my wife,†Cejudo said
on the “Pound 4 Pound†podcast. “Me and him are both American,
married to Brazilians, and have American kids… She just went off; I
don't want to repeat it. What I will say is, don't bring my family
into this. Let men be men.â€

Kayla
Harrison says she probably would not have returned to
competition without the opportunity to face Amanda
Nunes.

Harrison is scheduled to defend her
Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight title
against Nunes at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Harrison,
who goes to great lengths to reach the 135-pound championship
limit, says the matchup makes the weight cut worthwhile.

against Amanda Nunes after neck surgery

Nunes is widely regarded as the greatest female mixed martial
artist of all time. Harrison said she might not have fought again
if Nunes were not her opponent.

“I mean, just to be honest, yeah,†Harrison told Ariel Helwani when
asked if the Nunes fight is the only reason she's returning to
action.

Harrison (19-1) won two
Professional Fighters League lightweight championships before
joining the UFC in 2024. She submitted Julianna
Pena to win the UFC bantamweight title last year. Her first
defense against Nunes (23-5) was scheduled for January, but a neck
injury requiring surgery forced her to withdraw.

Kayla
Harrison admits she ‘probably’ wouldn’t have come back if it
wasn’t for the Amanda
Nunes fight: “Probably. I mean, just to be honest. Yeah.”

The UFC returns to Canada this Saturday for a UFC Fight Night card, and in the main event, Canada's own Mike Malott looks to extend his long win streak against Joaquin Buckley. With “New Mansa†entering the bout off of back-to-back losses, and Malott being 34 in a loaded up division, is it do-or-die for both guys?
