‘Nothing to Do With Mexico’- Henry Cejudo Says Beef With Brandon Moreno Is Buried

Henry Cejudo, the former two-division champion of UFC, buried his beef with the former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno. ‘The Assassin Baby’ recently lost his flyweight gold against Deiveson Figueiredo in the co-main event of UFC 270. The latter trained under the Olympic gold medalist Cejudo for this blockbuster trilogy fight.

‘The Messenger’ and ‘The Assassin Baby’ have been friends in the past. However, an incident during their time in The Ultimate Fighter in 2016 led to a bitter relationship between the fighters.

However, in an interview with The Schmo after the event, ‘The Messenger’ expressed his joy at winning as a coach. While he also claimed he has nothing personal with the Mexican fighter.

Cejudo said, “It’s so cool man like now. I know what my coach, captain Erick, captain-coach, the G.O.A.T coach, now I know what he feels like man. You know what I am saying, like it’s just as precious as you would do it yourself.”

“And that’s a beautiful feeling because you think you will never feel that again because you are not competing, but that’s not true, man. And today, watching him win, I was able to feel such a joy man, such an excitement.”

“Dude, not maliciously after Brandon, nothing to do with Mexico. But for him and his goal and his dream. And I just hope people see that side of it because we are here to entertain and we are here to obviously win.”

What Did Deiveson Figueiredo Say to Brandon Moreno after the Win?

‘Deus da Guerra’ and ‘The Assassin Baby’ have previously crossed paths twice. In their first meeting inside the cage at UFC 256, the bout ended in a draw. And the Brazilian was still the champion of the UFC.

However, in their second clash at UFC 263, the Mexican fighter showed stunning improvements and dominated the fight. He submitted Figueiredo in the third round and became the first-ever Mexican champion in UFC.

However, in the trilogy bout at UFC 270, the Brazilian regained the title by securing a unanimous decision victory over Moreno. Interestingly, ‘Deus da Guerra’ announced the fourth clash against the Mexican right after his win.

In the octagon interview with Joe Rogan, Figueiredo said, “I am ready for a fourth fight against Brandon in Mexico.”

However, there has been no official announcement about the fourth fight. Hence, it is not sure whether a fight will come to fruition. However, as the score is tied between the two fighters, a fourth clash seems inevitable as it will settle the score once and for all.
