Henry Cejudo was a big part of Deiveson Figueiredo's win over Brandon Moreno at UFC 270 on Saturday. The former two-division champion was in the Brazilian's corner and was a huge part of his training camp.
The scores were all over the place after the co-main event and some people had Brandon Moreno beating Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 270. Henry Cejudo gave his scorecard after the fight and agreed with the judges.
“Four rounds to one,” Cejudo said on “The Triple C & Schmo Show” about his score for UFC 270. “Brandon Moreno only won that second round, but this is why I told him, ‘You’ve got to be careful, dude.’ That’s why when he had mentioned Mexico City, I’m like, ‘No.’ He throws one punch and ‘Ahhhh!’. I was like, ‘No, you’re the champ now. You pick.’ So that’s why it’s going to be Wallid’s (Ismail) job to make sure that he takes this thing to Brazil, and we’re going to make it happen.
“We saw how they had the scorecard. Deiveson knocked him down almost in every round. That’s a 10-9 automatically.”
Henry Cejudo may have had his teammate winning, that doesn't mean he thought it was his best performance. The former UFC champion was asked to grade the performance after the fight.
“Ironically, I’m going to have to give him a B+, and the only reason I give him a B+ is because there’s so much room for him to get better,” Cejudo said about the performance at UFC 270. “So we’re going to watch the fight tonight and be like, these are the areas that if you become more aggressive or you start seeing him more, it’s going to take it to a whole other level where I say you’re not going to be going to a decision, a split decision, you’re going to be stopping them – because that’s the goal. The goal is not to win. The goal is to start killing these dudes – like, put them away. There’s no doubt.”
