Henry Cejudo Backs ‘Greatest’ Dricus Du Plessis To Beat Khamzat Chimaev And Alex Pereira

Former UFC double champ Henry Cejudo has been so impressed with Dricus Du Plessis’s performance against Sean Strickland at UFC 312 that he went on to pick him against potential future opponents Khamzat Chimaev and Alex Pereira. The UFC middleweight kingpin was as dominant as he could be in his second outing against Strickland, skyrocketing […]

The UFC middleweight kingpin was as dominant as he could be in his second outing against Strickland, skyrocketing his brand even further. The challenger left with a broken nose at UFC 312, and before that, DDP showcased his grappling prowess by becoming the first fighter to submit Israel Adesanya.

Now, fans are excited to see “Stillknocks” get tested against Chimaev and Pereira. While “”Borz” is coming off an impressive first-round submission victory over Robert Whittaker, “Poatan” has looked invincible at light heavyweight.

In a recent episode of Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry, Cejudo heavily praised DDP for his cardio and explained why he could hand defeats to both Chimaev and Pereira:

“If you’re asking me now Kumaru, who is it if we do see a match between DDP and Alex Pereira. Even though I do believe that Pereira is going to beat Magomed Ankalaev, I’ll definitely put my money with DDP. I think DDP, stylistically, is a problem dude. And I know DDP is gonna go in there and f****g wrestle. And I think with the grappling, I think that could be very problematic, but there’s one thing that I will say is he will need to be careful because Alex Pereira does a really good job of cornering and there’s a lot of little sloppy things that DDP does but I think I put my strengths and his mixing of the fighting against a guy like Alex Pereira.”

While discussing a potential match-up with Chimaev, “Triple C” again picked the South African despite knowing that the Emirati fighter is on an iconic undefeated run. The latter’s ability to out grapple and finish elite fighters like Whittaker and Usman definitely makes him a threat to anyone at middleweight.

“I personally think he beats up Khamzat Chimaev. I don’t think it’s going to be easy to submit, I think DDP is scrambly and I think his conditioning, bro, I mean I want to put him up there. Even like this particularly, this last fight, you want to kind of, you know, maybe the top three, maybe greatest right now cardio in the UFC. Obviously, Merab is one and then you can go two three but whatever it is, he looked freaking good and he looked so good that fifth round where he was like hey, I was able to go another five more rounds. I mean this guy’s ready and this guy’s gonna be a problem for anybody at 185 lbs and I am excited to see this dude fight Khamzat and if he beats a guy like Khamzat Chimaev, I would love for him to go up and then fight the winner of Alex Pereira and Ankalaev.”

Ankalaev is the no.1 ranked UFC light heavyweight contender set to fight the champion at UFC 313 in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada on March 8, 2025. The outcome of this fight will naturally impact the futures of the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.

Henry Cejudo Promises ‘Live Assassination’ Of Song Yadong At UFC Seattle

Henry Cejudo is set to return for his third outing inside the Octagon since he came out of retirement to fight Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title in 2023. The former two-weight titleholder has been unable to reclaim the top spot since he left the sport on top back in 2020 after winning six fights […]

Having bean beaten by teammates in Sterling and the current champion Merab Dvalishvili, Cejudo is now set to look a few positions further down the 135-pound rankings after failing to immediately re-establish himself as a top contender. In the main event on February 22, he will face the #8-ranked Song Yadong at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington.

Yadong is also looking to bounce back from a defeat last time out but “Triple C” is incredibly confident that he will show levels in this fight. He spoke in a recent interview with Cageside Press about how he sees the matchup playing out in this pivotal moment for his career at the highest level.

“You guys can witness a damn assassination man. You guys are going to witness a live assassination. Song Yadong you ain’t that long,” Cejudo told Cageside Press.

Cejudo also continued to make references to his opponent’s name in what appears to be the return of his trash talking persona which we have had a significant break from in recent times. Despite this, “King Triple C” knows what is at stake for him in this fight.

He did not return just to take part in the division but a third consecutive loss would be a big uphill battle for him at this stage in his career.

“Song doesn’t have that long dong that you guys think he does and that he’s gonna bend the knee and everybody watching should also bend a knee to KING TRIPLE C.”

Speaking about their highly anticipated clash on his Pound-4-Pound podcast with co-host Kamaru Usman, ‘Triple C’ believes that stylistically, he and Song are destined to deliver an absolute banger

“I think it’s going to turn out to be a banger, dude. I think we have, stylistically, we’re both kind of like little, little muscular humans. The only thing is Song is a little taller, but that probably doesn’t come with a lot of weight. But personally, I like the fight. I like the fight stylistically as well. I think Song’s going to bring a lot of power and use a lot of hands.”

Henry Cejudo Backs Jon Jones: ‘Too Smart’ for Tom Aspinall in Heavyweight Showdown

Tom Aspinall is really good, but Jon Jones is just too smart.

Over the last several days, every major MMA news outlet has been running stories about a potential clash between undisputed heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall. Most of them surrounding Joe Rogan’s claim that ‘Bones’ was seeking a massive $30 million payday for the fight.

Since then, Rogan has backtracked on his statement after UFC CEO Dana White reportedly called him up directly and called bullsh*t on the rumor.

Still, Rogan’s one comment about the fight immediately made waves, proving once again that fighters, fans, and analysts alike are desperate to see two of the best MMA athletes on the planet compete against one another.

Right now, Aspinall is a slight favorite to come out on top in the yet-to-be-announced unification clash, but former champ-champ Henry Cejudo doesn’t necessarily see it that way.

Cejudo thinks Aspinall is good, but not good enough to beat Jon Jones

Speaking on his Pound-4-Pound podcast alongside Kamaru Usman, ‘Triple C’ revealed that after seeing Aspinall train, he had to admit that while the Brit is pretty damn good, he’s not good enough to beat the GOAT.

“Heavyweight, I’m going Jon Jones, bro,” Cejudo said. “I watched a little bit of Tom Aspinall yesterday. Really, really good. But Jones is just too smart, bro.”

We may not know exactly when Jones vs. Aspinall will go down, but we can confirm that Cejudo will step back inside the Octagon on February 22 when the UFC heads back to Seattle, Washington.

In the main event of the evening, Cejudo will square off with No. 8 ranked contender Song Yadong. The co-main event will also see the return of another former champion as Dominick Cruz faces Rob Font. It will be Cruz’s first time competing since an August 2022 loss to Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera.

Former Champ-Champ Henry Cejudo Opens As Betting Underdog For UFC Seattle Main Event vs. Song Yadong

February 22 is a huge date for the former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo. “Triple C” made his return to the Octagon in May of 2023 after announcing that he had retired three years prior at UFC 249. Having gone out on top as a champ-champ, the 37-year old has come up short […]

Having gone out on top as a champ-champ, the 37-year old has come up short in back-to-back fights since stepping back inside the Octagon at UFC 288. A split decision loss over five rounds to Aljamain Sterling and a further defeat to his teammate and the current bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili have doubled his career losses from two to four.

With his next fight recently being made official for Seattle at the Climate Pledge Arena next month, the oddsmakers don’t have Cejudo turning things around at this stage in his career. BetOnline.ag have him as a +160 underdog in his matchup with the #8-ranked Song Yadong.

The 27-year old Team Alpha Male fighter is coming off of a loss to Petr Yan at UFC 299 last March having beaten Ricky Simón and Chris Gutierrez in consecutive main events before that. Despite also holding victories over the likes of Marlon Vera and Marlon Moraes, beating Cejudo will certainly be the biggest win of his career in terms of name value and he’s currently at -185.

Of course, these betting lines will shift back and forth before the two men step back inside the Octagon but when you look at what Cejudo has been able to achieve in MMA and the level of opponents that he is used to facing, a loss here may be his biggest setback to date considering that his other defeats came in a close fight with Joseph Benavidez and his first encounter with flyweight great Demetrious Johnson.
