Henry Cejudo worked and built a relationship with Brandon Moreno on the UFC show, The Ultimate Fighter. The two had formed a relationship and trained together after the show.
Things went badly between the two after Brandon Moreno went to train with Joseph Benavidez. Things only got worse as Henry Cejudo helped train Deiveson Figueiredo for their big clash at UFC 270.
“I don’t have nothing to clear with him,” UFC flyweight Moreno said when asked about Cejudo on The MMA Hour. “I don’t hate the guy, I respect the guy. He said I’m a traitor, but I just want to say when I went with Joseph Benavidez, it was for necessity. When I did that I was alone, I didn’t have my team in Tijuana, my team in Arizona was training with other guys, and I was alone. It was a professional career [move], because anybody cares about my family, anybody can say something and put his opinion, but in the moment you need to make decisions. I’m putting my family in front. I don’t give a fuck, nothing more, just my family, just my daughters, just my wife.
“When I went to Joseph Benavidez, it was for necessity,” the UFC flyweight continued. “This guy is doing this not for necessity. It’s for revenge. So even with that, I respect the guy, and hopefully he will be a nice family guy, and hopefully he feels fine if he is a family guy like that.”
It doesn't seem likely that the two former UFC champions will ever repair their relationship. The talking between the two has been very toxic in the lead up to UFC 270.
