Alexander Volkanovski: Henry Cejudo ‘a piece of sh*t’ for firing his coach on camera – if it’s legit

Alexander Volkanovski , like many in the MMA community, was puzzled to see Henry Cejudo fire his long-time coach, Eric Albarracin , on camera. Last week, the UFC released its “Countdown” show in the lead up to UFC 298 , which featured many of the usual activities fighters engage in just before a fight. However, UFC 298 “Countdown” came with an unusual wrinkle as Cejudo decided to break the news to Albarracin that he was not going to be part of the team heading into Feb. 17 against Merab Dvalishvili. This had many upset with the way Cejudo decided to handle letting go of Albarracin, including Volkanovski

Henry Cejudo has made some big changes ahead of his return. The former two-division champion has parted ways with longtime coach Eric Albarracin ahead of his bout against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 298 on Saturday in Anaheim, Calif. Albarracin was one of several people Cejudo (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) dropped in efforts to reduce his team size. The news of the change was revealed during the UFC’s “Countdown” preview show . “You were with me for my last Olympic trials, and you’ve been there for me, but as of right now, I just want to let you know that for this camp, dude, I’m getting rid of specific coaches – and that’s you included,” Cejudo said to Albarracin. Albarracin has been working with Cejudo since his wrestling days, well before he started fighting professionally in MMA

Patricio Freire dropped his featherweight title to A.J. McKee at Bellator 263 , but his coach Eric Albarracin wants to run it back in a different atmosphere. Saturday’s event took place at The Forum in Los Angeles in McKee’s backyard. The arena was filled with fans cheering his name as the challenger to Freire’s crown, something that didn’t quite sit well with Albarracin in the aftermath of the fight. “Brazilians don’t care, but Americans do, 16 games in the NFL are played to get a home-field advantage, 180 in baseball,” Albarracin said after grabbing the microphone at the post-fight news conference.
