. The Coronavirus has suspended regular sporting events. However, social media still provides fans with regular updates of their favorite stars. In March 2020, an Instagram post by UFC Bantamweight Champion Henry Cejudo showed us a glimpse of his mysterious Brazilian girlfriend, Amanda Dallago Cheves. 

A regular feature on Cejudo’s Instagram

Chaves was repeatedly shown up on Cejudo’s official Instagram account at that time.  These instances were recurring on her official account since the latter half of the previous year. Notably, Amanda had her sister pose with Cejudo’s Championship belts. More recently, law graduate Chaves posed with UFC President Dana White. Here, she labeled him as the second most powerful man of the organization. No prizes for guessing who was first in her books.

Previously, in a chat with Below the Belt’s Brendan Schaub, ‘The Triple C’ said he doesn’t talk about his private life and is single. Two relationships took up the fighter’s 20s but he didn’t go ahead with them. He was not sure if he could be with them in the next 15 years. Cejudo is a traditionalist, who wants marriage to be for the long term.

He wants to have a family with his partner and be the best husband and father as he idolizes family guys. The posts with his new girl in the aftermath of these comments do indicate that Cejudo has found someone for the long term. The two are appearing in more and more pictures together, and the posts are speaking volumes. The pair broke up and the fighter is in a relationship with Ana Karolina now.

 What’s next for Henry Cejudo? 

Cejudo was set to face Jose Aldo in the main event of UFC 250 in Sao Paulo. The organization had scheduled for Brazil on the 9th of May. However, the event seems unlikely, as Brazil has shut its borders and prevented air travel after confirming over 500 positive Coronavirus cases.

Cejudo was certainly ready for the fight and even taunted Aldo in a post on the 11th of March. Later he went on to fight Dominick Cruz and defended his bantamweight title. Immediately after the Cruz fight, Cejudo announced his retirement from professional fighting.

However, around June 2020, he announced he is ready to make a comeback against Alexander Volkanovski in order to claim the UFC featherweight championship, and all his fans worldwide are waiting for that moment.
