Henry Cejudo had a pretty interesting callout after his victory at last night’s (Sat. June 8, 2019) UFC 238 pay-per-view (PPV).

Cejudo defeated Marlon Moraes to take home the vacant 135-pound strap. “Triple C” finished the Brazilian in the third round with some nasty ground-and-pound. Shortly after his victory, Cejudo said he’s a prizefighter and is looking for the fights that pay him the most money. He called out three men in particular.

Those being former champions Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbardnt, as well as bantamweight legend Urijah Faber. Cejudo actually had the chance to come face-to-face with Cruz after the event during the post-fight show on EPSN+. Cruz said it’d be an honor to fight Cejudo after his shoulder injury heals up:

“Well in order to get your credit, you have to defeat the longest reigning champion in the history of the sport,” Cruz said with a chuckle.

“I respect you too, and especially calling me out after winning your two belts, that’s probably the good time to have the confidence to try to do it, so that makes sense. I’m going to come back from this shoulder injury, and if you would pardon me with the opportunity, it would be my honor. When you want to make it happen, I’ll be here for you.”

Soon after the fight, Cruz took to his Instagram account and posted a brief video response to Cejudo’s callout:

Garbrandt took to Twitter and issued a response as well. He credited Cejudo for calling him out, knowing he’s the biggest draw in the division:

“Congrats @HenryCejudo good call out you know I’m the biggest drawl in the division. I’ll be back to the top soon”

Pedro Munhoz has been hit in the pocket for his UFC 235 celebration following his Cody Garbrandt knockout win.

Today (Wed. April 24, 2019) the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) announced that Munhoz has received a $2,500 fine for exiting the cage immediately following his UFC 235 knockout victory over “No Love” inside Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, via MMA Fighting. Before he can compete again, Munhoz will have to pay $327.06 in prosecution fees and is on a temporary suspension until doing so.

Currently, Munhoz is scheduled to face Aljamin Sterling at UFC 238 on June 8 from Chicago. According to a representative on behalf of Bob Bennett from the attorney general’s office, Munhoz was expressly told by some commission officials not to jump the cage after beating Garbrandt. The commission doubled down today that any fighter exiting the cage immediately after a win is putting cageside spectators in danger.

Following the madness that was Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, the commission wondered if $2,500 was enough. However, after concluding that Munhoz’s actions were not malicious, it was determined his fine was enough to “serve notice.”
