We could see Henry Cejudo return to his roots in the UFC flyweight division...vs. Brandon Moreno?
The former two-division UFC Champion is getting up there in age after turning 37 this year, finding himself in a weird spot in the bantamweight division after back-to-back losses to then-champThe UFC's bantamweight division is stacked to the brim with the #6-ranked Cejudo surrounded by top contenders every which way, as Umar Nurmagomedov and Deiveson Figueiredo make their climb to the top of the division and"Where does that leave you, man? Am I just gonna fight just to fight or am I...
Before retiring with the bantamweight belt in hand in 2020, Cejudo had carried the flyweight championship as well, a title he never lost to anyone but one he'd have to vacate due to moving up a weight class.Cejudo won the title from the legendary Demetrious Johnson in 2018, and the belt changed hands a few times between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno before ultimately landing in the arms of current champ Alexandre Pantoja.
"I think there's a fun fight with Brandon Moreno," Cejudo said. "He wanted to fight me at 135, and then he backed out like a little b****. I think now if I go down and I beat him in Mexico, in his own country, I think that could be a big a** payday, too."Two-time champ Moreno is currently ranked #2 in the UFC Flyweight division, not having fought since a decision-loss to Brandon Royval in Mexico City earlier this year.
