Cejudo Was Dodging Head Kicks During Belal Podcast Brawl
Yesterday at 02:00 PM
A podcast appearance from Muhammad on Cejudo and Usman's podcast devolved into a crazy fight according to 'Triple C.'
Henry Cejudo is giving a little bit of a preview of how crazy things got when Belal Muhammad came on his 'Pound 4 Pound' podcast.
"Remember The Name" went on Cejudo's podcast back in September 2024, and things quickly went sideways after co-host Kamaru Usman got into it with the current welterweight champion. The episode was never released, and it's been teased that things devolved into a full on brawl between hosts and guest.
"I think I verbally broke down Usman," Muhammad said at the time. "I think he got emotionally broken so he tried to get physical. But when you try to get physical with the champion, there's levels to this."
Cejudo finally commented on the incident in an interview with MMA Fighting's Mike Bohn.
"I almost got kicked, bro," Cejudo said with a laugh. "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."
The Belal Muhammad Pound 4 Pound tape is going to end up going down in history as one of the great bits of lost media if it isn't released. Seeing the welterweight champ taking on two legends at once in a podcast studio would be wild. Muhammad has said he hopes it gets put online, but that just makes us think it doesn't make Kamaru and Henry look very good.
Usman can get back within striking range of a 170 pound title fight with a solid win, but Muhammad doesn't think that'll happen. So let's make some noise and demand: release the podcast brawl!
