Henry Cejudo wants to settle 'bad blood' with Brandon Moreno: "A good old Mexican showdown and trust me, I want a piece of him"
  • 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."

    Francis Ngannou addresses Deontay Wilder, Dana White’s Tyson Fury offer
    • Francis Ngannou was surprised but glad when Deontay Wilder made an appearance at a PFL event.
    • Ngannou confirmed that he had discussions with Wilder earlier this year about a potential two-fight deal.
    • They decided to postpone their fight plans so that Wilder could focus on his upcoming fight with Anthony Joshua in December.
    • Ngannou expressed interest in fighting Wilder in 2024 when he starts his PFL run.
    • Wilder showed openness to trying MMA, unlike Tyson Fury, who dismissed the idea of a hybrid - boxing/MMA fight with Ngannou.
    • Fury clarified that he is only interested in boxing and is scheduled to fight Joshua at the end of the year.
    • Ngannou doubts that Dana White can convince Fury to consider an MMA fight.
    • Ngannou is focused on MMA and expects to debut in the PFL early next year, while the possibility of a boxing match is uncertain.

    Israel Adesanya says he will rematch Pereira if he wins the 205 belt

    https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/israel-adesanya/israel-adesanya-names-the-one-circumstance-that-could-lead-to-a-fifth-fight-with-alex-pereira/

    `Should Pereira be victorious against Blachowicz, UFC president Dana White has said it would ‘make sense’ for him to challenge for the 205-pound title. If he can do that and capture the belt, Adesanya is making it known he would give some serious thought to moving up himself and having that fifth fight with Pereira.

    Adesanya, speaking on ‘The MMA Hour’ with Ariel Helwani, had the following to say about getting back in the cage with Pereira:

    “If he wins the belt at 205 I’ll do it again. But if not – I think he’s done with it. I’m done with it. I think everyone else wants to see it, but we’ve moved on.”`
