The pair came face-to-face ahead of the UFC 242 card this weekend. They put their supposed beef to rest when they met backstage.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2019\/09\/ufc-henry-cejudo-valentina-shevchenko-beef-isnt-real?utm_source=smg&amp;utm_medium=wasabi&amp;utm_content=home-hero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Junkie<\/a>, the pair were quite chummy right from the get-go. In a clip that has since been deleted, Shevchenko puts Henry Cejudo in a choke hold. He yelled &#8220;No Mas!&#8221; and the pair proceeded to joke around.<\/p>\n<p>This proved to many dubious fans that, when Cejudo called Shevchenko out, it was in jest. The American, who holds the UFC men&#8217;s flyweight and bantamweight belts, has recently stepped up his trash talking antics and has been running with the intergender theme, calling out other females fighters such as <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/henry-cejudo-tells-germaine-de-randamie-to-bend-the-knee\/\">Germaine De Randamie<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/henry-cejudo-jokes-that-he-wants-amanda-nunes-titles-too\/\">Amanda Nunes<\/a>. He also took to Twitter to <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/henry-cejudo-calls-for-easy-fight-against-dominick-cruz\/\">call for a fight against Dominick Cruz<\/a> and trashed him in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Are you surprised to see Henry Cejudo and Valentina Shevchenko squashed their &#8220;beef?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 9\/4\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most bizarre MMA stories to come out of 2019 so far was Henry Cejudo\u2019s call-out of Valentina Shevchenko.
