Cejudo the Cringe Lord and Aljo the Midmaster
Henry is worth 2 million – hes not a big time as he thinks
Good god, Cejudo’s manager got his glasses out of a kids lucky bag!
Talk about tasteless. 😆
Rooting for Triple C 🔥🔥🔥
8 division Champ Manny Pacquiao
2 elite fighters who always get slept on because of their cringy shenanigans 😢
Anyone know the name of the song in the beginning? Been trying to find it for days
Henry's workouts look amazing.
Looks like Merab will be interested to fight Cejudo next.
Gonna be a boring ass lay on each other fight sterling by dec but very boring
If cejudo was great he would have stayed and kept fighting defending belt for years like silva and st Pierre did not retire then jump the line get a title shot
This card is weak af
Not a fan of sterling, hope ccc stomps him.
sterling delusional saying cejudo quit because the level of the division was gettin better, he saying this to the guy who beat DJ dominick cruz and th dillshaw wow
THIS MATCH___UP HERE IS TOTALLY + COMPLETELY DEPENDs ON HOW MUCH RUSTED HENRY___CEJUDO REALLY IS……..IF HENRY IS RUSTED , ALJO WILL WIN.
Impressionant🥰
Triple C gotta keep his ego in check.
Triple C already got scars before the fight.
Cnt wait for this fight guna b an absolute cracker
Sterling is winning the fight Cejudo is too invested in making jokes then being ready to fight . Don't write a check yo ass can't cash
Those glasses on that clown who trains Cejudo though. His natural state is more cringe than anything Cejudo could play out while acting in his awfully lame character he tried to create
Henry beat DJ just take that in…DJ is one of if not the P4P best fighter in the world. For me I see Henry taking this victory.
Cejudo wins.
I have to be realistic, aljo is good everywhere and has a next level grappling game. His striking looks great against certain people and his wrestling always seems strong.
That being said.. it's so hard for me to look at the paper stats and see the CALIBER of fighters that cejudo has not just beaten but DOMINATED in their absolute prime and then compare it to the people and manner in which aljo has won his fights and think aljo has a solid chance. I really think the only way aljo can win this is if henry slips up and gives aljo the submission. Aljo has nowhere near the wrestling pedigree or speed and in my mind's eye, i see aljo looking pretty slow compared to cejudo's striking on the feet. Cejudo is used to fighting guys with lightning reflexes like might mouse johnson and other smaller guys. There's levels to everything and i think cejudo has the speed, wrestling, striking, fight iq, and 1 upmanship in every area except reach. It might be a battle but it's a little bit lopsided if you take each component separately and look at it. Cejudo is better compared to someone like khabib when it comes to physical abilities/accomplishments and no one would say aljo could beat khabib except a die hard fanboi.
My prediction is cejudo is going to out speed aljo and kick his legs for awhile before he puts on the pressure to get aljo against the cage for target practice. In my mind i see it going for 2 or maybe 3 rounds before henry just overwhelms aljo with strikes, probably from a grounded position. GNP for a ref stoppage. On the other hand, the only way i see aljo winning is a submission coming from a lapse in cejudo's concentration which i give a courtesy 2% chance of happening.
Sterling is a good champ but CCC is legendary and has been for a long time.
AJ think cejudo wants to wrestle? That has to be a trick. Cejudo is probably gonna keep it on the feet.
Henry gonna lose…trolling doesn't win fights.
Aljo beat washed up clean tj woth a blown out shoulder. Henry beat epo tj
Henry will f him up for good .mark my words ….
Cejudo is a master of the game
For the first time in my life I actually like henry cejudo and want him to win every fight that he has left.
The only record Henry will be remembered for is being the fakest POS in UFC History. This might be the lamest fight in ufc history but if I had to choose.
I hope Aljo smashes Cejudo.
And New UFC batamweight champion of the world Henry Cejudo !!!!
Should’ve been volk Henry . That’s a mega fight
I sttilk wanna know how you retire set out two years then comes back n first fight Is for shit 😂😂 TT and lmao like wtf I'd be pissed if I was number one or two in VA bantaweight
Imagine the number contender abd champ don't fight….I hope Henry wins
…I’m sorry Henry, but you didn’t beat Mighty Mouse🎯😉
Hard to call, one thing is for sure though gonna be a good fight
I really like aljamain , he is really a nice dude, humble and a great sense of humour, but you can tell henry wants it 1000% more…
Let’s go Sterling! The Mexican crowd is with you 🇲🇽
