Henry Cejudo is in the conversation for being one of the best combat sports athletes in history. In 2019, Cejudo became only the third male fighter to hold two UFC titles at the same time. In 2018, he beat flyweight GOAT Demetrious Johnson to win the 125 lbs belt at UFC 227. The following year, he beat Marlon Moraes to capture the bantamweight title at UFC 238.
On top of that, Cejudo is also an Olympic Gold Medalist. He won the top prize for men’s freestyle wrestling at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Hence, his seat in the GOAT debate is permanently sealed. But, his career came to an abrupt end in 2020. Cejudo, popularly known as “Triple C,” took a shocking decision after his excellent performance at UFC 249 in Florida.
The event took place at the beginning of the worldwide pandemic and Cejudo took on Dominick Cruz on the main card. Not only did Cejudo successfully defend his bantamweight title, but he also handed Cruz the first KO/TKO loss of his career. Cejudo never looked better and at the age of 32, he seemed to be nailed on for a long reign as the champ.
However, In his post-fight interview, Henry revealed that he was going to start a family and retired from the sport. At the time, Cejudo was dating a Brazilian model by the name of Amanda Dallago Chaves. So who is Amanda and is she still in a relationship with the former UFC double champ? Let’s find out.
Amanda Dallago Chave – Who is the woman Henry Cejudo retired for?
As previously mentioned, Henry Cejudo was with Amanda Dallago Chaves at the time UFC 249 took place. However, the two were seen together much before that as well. As Cejudo is a very private person and does not like to reveal the intimate details of his personal life, it is still unknown when the two started dating. But it will be safe to assume that the two ran into each other thanks to Chaves’ connection with the MMA world.
While not much information is available about Chaves, her Instagram account does offer some insight into her life. It appears that she is the daughter of black-belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Jairo Chaves. While her Instagram profile reveals that she is a bachelor’s degree in Law, Chaves also takes a keen interest in MMA. On top of that, she is also a professional contortionist.
From hanging out with Justin Gaethje to attending many events, Chaves’ social media stories are filled with MMA content. She also seems to be very interested in gymnastics and even showed off her skills to boxing legend Mike Tyson. While originally from Brazil, she currently resides in New York. She has quite a big audience with nearly 18 thousand fans following her on Instagram.
Is Cejudo still dating Amanda Dallgo Chaves?
Henry Cejudo, who recently became a father, is currently in a committed relationship and married another Brazilian woman Ana Karolina. So it is pretty safe to claim that Amanda Dallago Chaves is not dating Cejudo. While there are no reports on why Henry and Amanda Dallago Chaves broke up, there are rumors that Cejudo wanted to settle down and start a family and perhaps that is why the couple broke up.
But Triple C found the love of his life shortly after in Ana Karolina and welcomed a daughter on November 18, 2021, and named her America Maria. The couple is still going pretty strong and Henry seems to be blessed with a happy family. He previously claimed that Ana was his second-ever girlfriend. With his family life settled, Cejudo decided to break his retirement and take on Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288.
