Cejudo vs Aldo: Losing all the way to the bank, an MMA tradition

An Olympic gold medalist and two-division champion squaring off with one of the greatest fighters – and the greatest featherweight – in MMA history? Sounds like a historic, can’t miss kind of fight that that would titillate any fight fan. Of course, the architecture of marquee fights is profoundly informed by context and timing, so it don’t think it surprises anyone that most of the MMA populace hasn’t embraced the idea of a Henry Cejudo-Jose Aldo showdown. After all, Aldo is 0-1 as a bantamweight, coming off a contentious split decision loss in his divisional debut to Marlon Moraes.
