“My Door Will Always Be Open”- Coach Henry Cejudo Details Exactly What He Would Fine-Tune in Jorge Masvidal’s Game

Holding up your legacy as a UFC double champion is no easy feat. Henry Cejudo, who also plans to make a comeback for the right number, is currently training various champions and contenders of the UFC. His expertise comes into the picture with wrestling.

Given his Olympic medal in wrestling and double champion status in the UFC, he has a keen eye to help certain fighters bank on the art of wrestling to move forward and become champions. 

Henry Cejudo feels Jorge Masvidal is a smart fighter

Following Jorge Masvidal’s loss to Colby Covington, ‘The Messenger’ expressed his interest in training ‘Gamebred‘. ‘Triple C’ admitted this in an interview with ‘The Schmo’ in which he proclaimed that his doors will always be open for the BMF. 

He tweeted, “I think I could help Jorge become a more technical fighter. He’s too smart. I’ve always had so much love for that dude. I’m bummed out that I haven’t been able to have that relationship with him. My door will always be open for @GamebredFighter.”   

During the interview, Cejudo stated, “What I would do with gamebred is I would, I think you would want to make him more of a technical fighter…If I was to help him out, it’d be with his distance game…Never allow anybody to get into the uppercut or the hook range…different little tricks.”

Given how Kamaru Usman has cleared out the welterweight division, Masvidal, post his loss against Covington, is left with minimal options for a catchy fight. 

As Masvidal’s wrestling let him down against Covington, it would help him on a great front to hone his wrestling and BJJ skills. Henry Cejudo is an excellent mentor to impart that knowledge to him.
