Scott Hernandez - December 6, 2016
This past weekend, in the co-main event of The Ultimate Fighter season 24 Finale, coaches Joseph Benavidez & Henry Cejudo squared off in a highly anticipated flyweight showdown. With the possibility of a fight with flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson on the line, both men gave the fight everything they had. Ultimately, the judges scored the fight a split decision for Joseph Benavidez, with Cejudo being deducted a point in the first round likely playing a major part in the decision swinging Benavidez’ way. Despite that, Cejudo, as well as many members of the MMA community, scored the fight in the former Olympian’s favor. Following the fight, Cejudo texted UFC President Dana White, who replied with an apology over the scorecards.
Henry Cejudo on loss to Benavidez: Everybody keeps telling me I won
Tom Taylor - December 5, 2016
Last Saturday, the UFC returned to Las Vegas, Nevada with the finale of the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. The card was headlined by a flyweight title fight between dominant champ Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and unsung challenger Tim Elliott. The co-main event, meanwhile, pitted top-ranked flyweights and recent Mighty Mouse victims Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo against each other. It was a fantastic fight. In the end, this action-packed co-main event would be awarded to Benavidez, who walked away with a split decision win. This result was extremely controversial, however, as Cejudo dropped Benavidez in the first, and enjoyed plenty of success in the second and third rounds. In fact, many fans believe he should have been awarded the win.

Olympic gold medalist and former UFC flyweight title challenger Henry Cejudo knows just how tough it is to become a UFC champion. Even with winning a gold medal and being the second youngest American wrestler to ever win an Olympic gold medal, Cejudo still has yet to accomplish his ultimate goal of being a UFC champion. In a recent interview with Boxeo Mundial, Cejudo gave UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor some major props for his abilities and achievements and touched upon the historic UFC lightweight title fight coming up between “The Notorious” and Eddie Alvarez.
