Henry Cejudo discloses what transpired between Kamaru Usman and Belal Muhammad in never-released podcast episode: "Punches were thrown"
Henry Cejudo recently disclosed what transpired in the never-released episode of his podcast featuring Belal Muhammad. Cejudo noted that things escalated between his co-host Kamaru Usman and Muhammad after the two traded jibes on social media.
Usman and Muhammad have had several back-and-forth exchanges after the latter defeated Leon Edwards to become the new UFC welterweight champion. 'Remember The Name' has brought up his appearance on Pound 4 Pound podcast when taking jibes at 'The Nigerian Nightmare', but it has yet to be uploaded.
There has been plenty of speculation about what transpired and whether there was a reason why the episode was not uploaded.
During his latest appearance on The Bohnfire, Cejudo shared a surprising revelation that Usman and Muhammad were involved in a physical altercation. 'Triple C' mentioned that the animosity between the two isn't fabricated and he was caught in the crossfire:
"Can I tell you something, Mike? I almost got kicked, bro. Punches were thrown. And I had a messed up ankle at that time, so Kamaru Usman and Belal... Belal was kicking at my head, dude. Luckily I did a little slip, but yeah, it was definitely rated-R."

During the aforementioned appearance, Cejudo named Sean Brady as an opponent who is on the top of Usman's list and mentioned other names being considered for his podcast co-host:
"[UFC] have thrown a lot of names out there. [Usman] said, 'I want Sean Brady'. He says, 'Sean Brady, Shavkat Rakhmonov and [Joaquin] Buckely'. So, Buckley's number three on that list... And I think that makes sense for a guy like Sean Brady... Obviously, Kamaru, yes, he does have three losses in a row but I mean, there's a lot [of options]." [13:10]
