Last Saturday, the UFC returned to Las Vegas, Nevada with the finale of the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter<\/a>. The card was headlined by a flyweight title fight between dominant champ Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and unsung challenger Tim Elliott<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

In the end, this action-packed co-main event would be awarded to Benavidez<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Cejudo weighed in on this controversial contest during a post-fight presser (via MMAJunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to re-watch that fight,\u201d Cejudo told the media. \u201cEverybody keeps telling me I won.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“Sometimes you don\u2019t know what the judges are thinking or what fight they\u2019re watching,” he continued.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"TUF<\/a><\/p>\n

Given the competitive and controversial nature of this fight, many fans were quick to call for a rematch between the two top flyweights<\/a>. Yet given that they just spent multiple weeks coaching The Ultimate Fighter together \u2013 driving each other crazy in the process \u2013 Cejudo was not especially keen on that idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you guys may not like this answer, but I definitely need a break from him,\u201d he laughed when asked about a rematch. \u201cIt was six months of just anticipation and waiting. Who knows what\u2019s in store? As of now, I want to take a vacation. But I will say this: I do need a little break from him.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if I won the fight, I\u2019d need a break from him. I really do.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite his desire for a break from Benavidez, Cejudo does believe they’ll share the cage again in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in the future, we\u2019ll definitely fight again sometime,” he said.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
