Henry Cejudo is taking his new role as a coach very seriously as he is recruiting many UFC fighters. Jorge Masvidal is now on his left after the tough loss to Colby Covington at UFC 272 on Saturday.

Jorge Masvidal was thoroughly outwrestled by Colby Covington at UFC 272 and Henry Cejudo believes he is the man to help him improve. It's not just about improving his wrestling game though.

“What I would do with Gamebred is I would… you would want to make him more of a technical fighter. Sometimes, he gets into these flurries, he’s too smart. He’s letting people into his fight zone,” former UFC champion Cejudo told The Schmo.

“If I was to help him out, it would be with his distance game. Keeping him at borders, never allowing anybody to get into the uppercut or hook range and things to that nature. Slipping through, going over those areas of concentration in wrestling. Different little tricks.

Henry Cejudo made it clear that there is a big difference between MMA and wrestling. The former two-division UFC champion found great success in both sports at the highest level.

“Wrestling and MMA wrestling is different, and people need to realise that. There are things you can slip out of, and there are things that you really got to defend. But you cannot get into these scramble positions like he did with Colby, which eventually exhausted him.

“I think I would help out Gamebred a lot. My door will always be open for Gamebred. If he decides to rejuvenate his career, I know that I could help him tremendously.”
