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.”
