Henry Cejudo questions UFC’s stance on Movsar Evloev Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Speaking on his Pound 4 Pound podcast alongside Kamaru Usman, Cejudo suggested the signals from Dana White are not convincing. “I don’t feel like Dana White is convinced that he’s going to give this guy [Evloev] the title shot, because if not, he would have been like, ‘Evloev is next.
He’s got it,’” he began by saying. “You know when Dana White didn’t like Merab for a minute and then Merab f—— put it on me. And what he said right after the fight?
He said, ‘Merab’s got the next title shot. I cannot deny this kid no more. ’ When you don’t get that answer from Dana White, it makes it a lot more difficult though.
