If Henry Cejudo has his way, he hopes Jose Aldo gets past Marlon Moraes at UFC 245.<\/p>\n

Cejudo hopes that it will set up a fight with Aldo in his home city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the bantamweight title.<\/p>\n

“If he wins, I’d like to fight him in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love Brazil, I want him to win, really. I really want this fight,’ Cejudo said in an interview to Combate<\/a>. “He will fight the “Triple C”.\u00a0And you’ll feel a pressure you’ve never felt in your life.\u00a0I am ready to show that I am the King of Rio.”<\/p>\n

The flyweight and bantamweight champion took a shot at Jose Aldo saying he is the real king of Rio<\/a>. So, the rivalry is there. It would also be a big fight for the bantamweight division. But, Cejudo doesn’t believe that will happen as he predicts Moraes will emerge victorious by way of knockout.<\/p>\n

“Aldo will lose a lot of weight, this is a problem he will have. I think Marlon will knock him out.\u00a0Marlon is a very strong guy at 61kg [135 pounds], very dangerous,” he explained. “Aldo will drop a lot of weight, and it will hurt him.\u00a0I think Marlon will knock out Jos\u00e9 Aldo in the first or second round.\u00a0Marlon is a different kind of animal.”<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo has not fought since beating Moraes in the main event of UFC 238 to win the vacant bantamweight title<\/a>. Although he is eyeing a scrap against Aldo, he recently came out and said he will retire if his pay does not increase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no question this is a very important weekend for Henry Cejudo as Aldo battles Moraes and Urijah Faber takes on Petr Yan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do you make of Henry Cejudo saying he wants to fight Jose Aldo in Rio but believe Marlon Moraes wins by knockout? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
