Summary:
- Moreno called Cejudo out right after Cejudo's fight with Aljo
- Cejudo prefers that Moreno moves up to bantamweight rather than him dropping down to flyweight. But he is willing to go down if the UFC pays him.
- There is bad blood between Cejudo and Moreno stemming from a sense of betrayal, as Cejudo did not select Moreno for his team on "The Ultimate Fighter" and Moreno ended up training with Cejudo's rival -Joseph Benavidez.
- Cejudo has trained and mentored Moreno's rival Deiveson Figueiredo in the past.
- Cejudo sees their potential matchup as a great storyline, with Moreno being the "baby face" and himself as the "heel."
- Cejudo is ready for the fight if the UFC offers a lucrative deal, saying, "Show me the money, let's make it happen, baby."
