Former UFC bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo, gave crucial advice to Kamaru Usman before his fight with Jorge Masvidal.

Although several fights at UFC 251 delivered, there were some which were uneventful. These fights — which include the main event — disappointed a significant amount of fans. In a recent interview, Cejudo gave his opinion on the card. Surprisingly, “Triple C” knew that the main event would be “boring.”

Cejudo, who has the same manager as Usman, talked with the welterweight champion before the fight. He advised “The Nigerian Nightmare” to stop Masvidal from exploding by tying him up in the clinch.

“I thought the fights were okay. I was expecting a little more pizzazz a little bit. But I knew the main event with Kamaru Usman was gonna be a boring fight. And I had even talked to Usman prior to the fight. I said, ‘Listen man, the dude’s explosive. You’re gonna have to tie him up, make it boring.’ That’s exactly what he did.” 

Henry Cejudo weighs in on Alexander Volkanovski vs Max Holloway 2

UFC 251 was not a fan-pleasing PPV. Many moments enraged fans around the world, especially the result of Max Holloway vs Alexander Volkanovski 2. Critics believe that Max won the fight. But the judges felt otherwise. Even UFC President Dana White disagreed with the judges.

“And for Volkanovski and Holloway, I thought Holloway probably won that fight. Holloway won man. It’s unfortunate. I was going for Volkanovski, I think it’s just a better matchup for me. He’s only about two inches taller than me so I feel like he’d be a better matchup for me if we were ever to fight.”

Cejudo trashes Petr Yan (again)

After Cejudo defeated Dominick Cruz at UFC 249, he vacated the title. Consequently, the UFC booked Jose Aldo vs Petr Yan for the vacant strap.

The fight went down as expected. Aldo got brutalized, but not before taking unnecessary punishment. Like many others, Cejudo feels that Jose Aldo should retire.

“Aldo is just so old… I think he needs to hang it up,” Cejudo said.

As far as Petr Yan is concerned, Cejudo stated that the Russian would not last over two rounds with him.

“I call him rent-a-champ. He’s keeping my belt warm. He absolutely s**ks dude.”
