“Never Been The Same Since” – Dana White Thinks Henry Cejudo Ruined Marlon Moraes

Henry Cejudo is one of the greatest combat sports athletes of all time. The man is a former Olympic gold medalist, and a former two-division UFC champion. He won the UFC flyweight belt by beating Demetrious Johnson at UFC 227. Later on, he moved up a division and won the vacant UFC bantamweight title against Marlon Moraes.

In the fight against ‘Magic,’ Cejudo was dominated in the first round, with Moraes landing some heavy strikes. However, ‘Triple C’ made adjustments in between rounds, and ultimately won the fight via TKO in the third round. With the win, he became the fourth fighter to hold championships simultaneously in two weight divisions in UFC.

UFC President Dana White, in a recent interview, talked about Henry Cejudo. White said, “There’s no doubt Cejudo is a very talented guy man. If you look at what he accomplished here, it’s incredible. Right up till he retired, he looked unbelievable.”

“In that Moraes fight, Moraes came out and put a beating on him in that first round. He went back to the corner, made the adjustments he needed to make, came back out, and broke him. Broke Marlon Moraes. Never been the same since. Not only did he break him, I think he ruined him,” he added.
