Former UFC champion in two weight classes, Henry Cejudo, who promised to retire in the event of his defeat to Merab Dvalishvili, made his first statement after the fight, announcing that he has no intention of ending his professional fighting career.
“If I could change things, I would probably never come back, but I can’t leave like this,” the American stated in a video posted on his Youtube channel. “So I take it back like a man, and I’m telling you all – I’m not going anywhere. The Triple Crown Champion is not done yet!”
“Was this fight really an ‘all or nothing’ kind of fight for me? Was I really being a hypocrite to myself? The last time I had two straight losses to Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez, I came back and put on one of the most incredible runs in UFC history. I got revenge on Demetrious Johnson and beat T.J. Dillashaw on steroids. Destroyed number one contender Marlon Moraes and knocked the teeth out of Dominick Cruz.”
“I’m a competitor and what I’ve accomplished in martial arts is unmatched. You may not like me, you may not like my character, but you can’t deny that Henry Cejudo has accomplished incredible de**mo and his accomplishments are enough for three lifetimes. I accept defeat, but I can’t let it end this way.”
We’d like to remind you that the lightweight contender fight between Henry Sekhudo and Merab Dvalishvili, which took place a week ago at UFC 298 in Anaheim, went all three rounds and ended with the Georgian fighter winning by unanimous decision.
