Former UFC champion in two weight classes, Henry Cejudo, has publicly apologized to former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
Henry Cejudo on his podcast
I wanna say thanks, man. I hated on you like you wouldn’t believe. But haters are your biggest fans, dude, and you’ve been able to do without being a wrestler— it’s impressive. What I’m saying is, coming from a wrestling background, and 85% of all champions come from wrestling. What you’ve been able to do—congratulations, dude. Do you think it's too late for me to say I'm sorry?
Adesanya last stepped into the octagon against Nassourdine Imavov in February 2025 at UFC Fight Night 250. This fight, which was stopped in the second round, ended in a loss for Israel by technical knockout. He has a record of 24 wins and five losses.
Cejudo's most recent fight was in February 2025 during UFC Fight Night 252, where he lost to Song Yadong by technical decision (unanimous). His career record stands at 16 wins and five losses.
