Former UFC bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo acknowledges that Jose Aldo probably shouldn’t be next in line for the title. Cejudo (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) initially was scheduled to fight former featherweight champ Aldo on May 9, but travel restrictions forced the Brazilian out, and he was replaced by Dominick Cruz. Cejudo went on to finish Cruz in Round 2 at UFC 249 and proceeded to announce his retirement, as well as relinquish the 135-pound belt. As a result, Aldo now is expected to meet Petr Yan for the vacant bantamweight title at UFC 251, despite Aldo being on a two-fight skid that includes a narrow loss to Marlon Moraes in his last outing. Cejudo admits that it’s his fault that the UFC awarded Aldo (28-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) the title shot, considering that he originally chose him as his next title challenger
