Henry Cejudo (7-0) hade först tänkt att göra sin UFC-debut i flugviktsdivisionen, men han klarade inte vikten och matchen ställdes in. Han gjorde senare sin UFC-debut i bantamviktsdivisionen och vann, nu är han nere i flugviktsdivisionen inför sitt möte med Chris Cariaso (17-6) på UFC 185 i helgen.
Cejudo pratade med MMAjunkie om sin tilltänkta flugviktsdebut i UFC Som fick ställas in.
Everything that happened in August really discouraged me – it really did,” berättade Cejudo för MMAjunkie. ”I felt extremely bad. I felt like I let the whole Olympic movement down. I got myself a good nutritionist. I got a CT scan of my body and went back to the scientific way of doing it. I have a nutritionist living with me, cooking my food, weighing it, portioning out a lot of things, and it’s very detailed now. When I hit 135, I was struggling. Now it’s not even bad.”
”I wanted to get back to my roots and roll up my sleeves, so I got back to training like I’m in the ghetto again,” sa Cejudo. ”That’s just what I’ve been doing. I’ve been putting myself in prison – putting myself in pain, putting myself in suffering so I can succeed. It’s a good type of suffering. That suffering makes me meaner. Suffering makes me hungry. Suffering allows me to put some hurt in my opponent. It’s a good thing.”
Cejudo avslöjade också att han redan tänker på matcher med två mästare, Demetrious Johnson (21-2-1) och T.J Dillashaw (11-2).
”I think T.J. Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson – I’m a bad matchup for both of them,” sa Cejudo. ”I’ve got good standup, good wrestling, and they can talk about their super fight, but I would love to fight both of them at either weight class. I’m a competitor. Eventually after 125, I can go up and challenge (at 135).”
