Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo fights for title in Legacy FC 31 headliner

The Legacy FC 31 event in June will have a championship doubleheader, which includes an Olympic gold medalist in the main event.

Despite some weight issues at 125 pounds, undefeated MMA fighter and former amateur-wrestling standout Henry Cejudo (6-0), who won an Olympic gold medal in 2008, will meet Damacio Page (17-9) for the organization’s vacant flyweight title, Legacy FC promoter/owner Mick Maynard told MMAjunkie.

Additionally, William “Bubba” Bush (7-2) will put his middleweight title on the line against challenger Roger Narvaez (6-0) in the co-headliner.

Legacy FC 31 takes place June 13 at Houston’s Arena Theatre. The main card airs on AXS TV.

Despite his in-cage success, Cejudo has had some issues making weight in his MMA career. He came in heavy for his most recent win, a victory over Elias Garcia in January. He was also suspended for initially no-showing the weigh-ins, which followed a canceled November fight after he also failed to show for those weigh-ins. However, he still carries a perfect 6-0 mark that includes a pair of recent Legacy FC wins.

The 27-year-old now meets Page, a UFC and WEC vet who’s 2-1 since a losing skid in MMA’s biggest promotion. Under the Legacy FC banner, though, the 31-year-old has picked up knockout wins over Patrick Ybarra and Matt Lozano.

Bush, meanwhile, has spent his entire career in the Legacy FC promotion, where he’s won three straight bouts and five of his past six. In seven career wins, the 28-year-old has six stoppages (four knockouts), including a February title win over Rakim Cleveland via second-round submission.

Bush now takes on the undefeated Narvaez, who recently made his promotional debut with a split-decision victory over Hayward Charles. The 30-year-old opened his pro career with five stoppage victories, four of which came in the first round.
