Cejudo not sure of UFC’s flyweight future, but sounds to agree on Dillashaw rematch

In a recent media scrum ahead of UFC 234, Cejudo spoke to the press about flyweight MMA in the UFC, Dillashaw and much more.

“You know, I spoke to Dana White,” Cejudo revealed. “I had a meeting with him that Wednesday, after my victory. I’m getting no answers from him either. There’s a pink elephant in the room. It’s almost like, ‘Hey I’m the champ,’ I should be told something, at least, a little bit out of respect. But, it’s still unsure of. One thing that they do want, they do want that TJ fight. Dana wants it, TJ wants it, we want it. That’s kinda where everything’s headed as of now.”

“Welcome to the UFC, welcome to MMA,” Cejudo responded when asked about the lack of clarity coming from Dana White. “Again, I’m speechless, because I don’t know what to tell you guys. I really don’t. I think I did my job. I took the man out – the greatest bantamweight of all time – in 32 seconds. If people think or believe that the flyweight division is boring, man, you’re out of your mind.

“Part of it, I think we’re all at fault in some ways. And I’m even going to blame Demetrious a little bit, that he’s at fault. He could have been a little more vocal, a little more flamboyant, a little more… I’ve spoken to DJ and he’s a very charismatic dude, he has a personality. But you put him on the camera and it’s simple answers, you know? We’re in the entertainment business. Part of it is us, the flyweights. He beat everybody up. They saw us as little kids. ‘Okay, this is the dad, he’s beating up his kids.’ Finally, I beat him – I take him out – and… My god, guys, I speak 3 languages. I don’t think I’m that boring. I may do some cringey and crazy things, but for crying out loud, I have Nikki Bella calling me out. C’mon guys.”
