White: Henry Cejudo will return at 135 or not at all
Dana White today stated that Henry Cejudo would have to return at t bantamweight or he would not be allowed to return to the UFC at all after today’s weight cutting issues.
Earlier today former Olympic gold medalist withdrew from UFC 177 after issues with his weight cut to make the flyweight limit of 125 lbs. Should he want to return to the UFC, Dana White today stated that it would have to be at bantamweight or he would not be allowed to return:
Considering Cejudo’s history of failed weights cuts — and abandoned fight cards — UFC President Dana White issued an ultimatum earlier today after the UFC 177 weigh in event (via Dave Doyle), and made it clear that if and when the Arizonian returns to the Octagon, it will be as a bantamweight.
Or else.
White was likely still miffed that he lost his headlining act when Renan Barao joined Cejudo in the no-scale club, thanks to a weight-cutting process that landed the Brazilian in the hospital.
