MMA Junkie Radio<\/a>, Moraes gave his assessment of Cejudo’s 28-second defeat of Dillashaw. He says he believes Dillashaw has the style to beat Cejudo, but that things simply went Cejudo’s way on the night of the fight.<\/p>\n\u201cWe all got holes and matchups make champions and I think Henry Cejudo is a great matchup for me,” Marlon Moraes said. “I\u2019m very confident in all I see him doing in the cage. Of course, he beat a legend, Demetrious Johnson. He beat, in my opinion, another guy that can be a legend in the future \u2013 T.J. Dillashaw, he\u2019s a great martial artist.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we didn\u2019t get to see much his last fight. I think T.J. got what you need to beat Henry. I think it was a fluke, it was just a matter (of) day. That was Henry\u2019s day. But I worked hard. I\u2019m well prepared for this fight. And I don\u2019t want no flukes. I\u2019m going out there. Perform, perform well and win. And leave no doubt who\u2019s the best 135-pounder now.\u201d<\/p>\n
UFC 238 goes down this Saturday. When Henry Cejudo and Marlon Moraes collide in the card’s main event, the UFC bantamweight strap will be on the line. The bantamweight title was previously owned by TJ Dillashaw, but he was recently stripped after testing positive for EPO.<\/p>\n
Moraes will look to capture UFC gold for the first time, while Cejudo will look to join the pantheon of UFC stars to hold titles in two divisions concurrently.<\/p>\n
