Henry
\nCejudo<\/a> believes Alex
\nPereira<\/a> needs more heavyweight victories before challenging for
\nanother
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

Pereira is scheduled to face Sergei
\nPavlovich<\/a> at UFC
\n335<\/a> on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, he
\nbelieves he deserved a title rematch against Ciryl Gane, who will
\ninstead defend his heavyweight championship against Josh Hokit<\/a>

\n334<\/a> on Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo wants Alex Pereira to win two or three heavyweight
\nfights before another UFC title shot<\/h2>\n

Cejudo believes Pereira (13-4) received preferential treatment in
\nreaching title contention in two divisions. \u201cTriple C\u201d pointed to
\nPereira\u2019s opportunity to fight Gane for the interim heavyweight
\nchampionship in his divisional debut at
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a>. He argues that Pereira must now build a
\nwinning record at heavyweight before receiving another title
\nshot.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a part of him being spoiled too,\u201d Cejudo said on the \u201cPound 4
\nPound\u201d podcast. \u201cAlex, I\u2019m not picking on you\u2026 You’ve skipped
\nlines; you’ve skipped lines long enough. You’ve had enough
\nopportunities against Ciryl Gane and you lost. Yeah, there were
\nillegal blows; I do agree with you on that. But man, that jab from
\nCiryl Gane wobbled you. We kind of saw where the fight was going.
\nIt was your debut at heavyweight\u2026 I feel like you need to win at
\nleast two\u2013three more fights to fight for the title.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cejudo is not the only former two-division champion to challenge
\nPereira\u2019s comments about the heavyweight title picture. \u201cPoatan\u201d
\npreviously alleged that former fighter and commentator Daniel
\nCormier<\/a> promoted Gane vs. Hokit at the UFC\u2019s direction. Cormier
\ndenied the accusation.<\/p>\n
