After missing weight for his second straight Legacy FC fight, Henry Cejudo ‘s future in the organization appears uncertain. During Thursday’s weigh-ins, Cejudo (5-0) was two-and-a-half pounds heavy for his co-headliner with flyweight Elias Garcia (4-0) at Legacy FC 27, which airs tonight on AXS TV from Houston’s Arena Theatre. Legacy FC promoter Mick Maynard told MMAjunkie that the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has fined Cejudo, who has forfeited half his purse, for the infraction. Additionally, the commission is expected to suspend the 2008 Olympic gold-medal wrestler between 90 and 180 days for being a late arrival to Thursday’s weigh-ins. Unfortunately, it’s not his first weight issue since Cejudo moved to MMA a year ago. He also no-showed weigh-ins back in November, and officials were forced to scrap his Legacy FC 25 co-headliner with Saul Elizondo on the eve of the event.
