Henry
Cejudo believes Alex
Pereira needs more heavyweight victories before challenging for
another
Ultimate Fighting Championship title.
Pereira is scheduled to face Sergei
Pavlovich at UFC
335 on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, he
believes he deserved a title rematch against Ciryl Gane, who will
instead defend his heavyweight championship against Josh Hokit
at UFC
334 on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Henry Cejudo wants Alex Pereira to win two or three heavyweight
fights before another UFC title shot
Cejudo believes Pereira (13-4) received preferential treatment in
reaching title contention in two divisions. “Triple C†pointed to
Pereira's opportunity to fight Gane for the interim heavyweight
championship in his divisional debut at
UFC Freedom 250. He argues that Pereira must now build a
winning record at heavyweight before receiving another title
shot.
“It's a part of him being spoiled too,†Cejudo said on the “Pound 4
Pound†podcast. “Alex, I'm not picking on you… You’ve skipped
lines; you’ve skipped lines long enough. You’ve had enough
opportunities against Ciryl Gane and you lost. Yeah, there were
illegal blows; I do agree with you on that. But man, that jab from
Ciryl Gane wobbled you. We kind of saw where the fight was going.
It was your debut at heavyweight… I feel like you need to win at
least two–three more fights to fight for the title.â€
Cejudo is not the only former two-division champion to challenge
Pereira's comments about the heavyweight title picture. “Poatanâ€
previously alleged that former fighter and commentator Daniel
Cormier promoted Gane vs. Hokit at the UFC's direction. Cormier
denied the accusation.
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€
Jaqueline Amorim has been suspended for six months for violating the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
On Friday, Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced that Amorim had accepted a six-month suspension after testing positive for low levels of ostarine, a prohibited non-Specified Substance in the class of Anabolic Agents. Ostarine was detected in out-of-competition samples collected from Amorim on July 29, 2026, and August 17, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with both failed tests being combined into a single violation.
Per CSAD, Amorim fully cooperated with their investigation, and it was determined that Amorim's adverse test results were consistent with exposure to low-level ostarine contamination rather than intentional use. CSAD also noted that the exposure did not provide Amorim “with any significant performance advantage.â€
Amorim's suspension was backdated to Aug. 17, the date she was notified of her test failure and provisional suspension, and expires on Feb. 17, 2027.
Amorim most recently competed at UFC Macau on May 30, where she submitted Loma Lookboonme via first-round armbar.
