During the open workouts on Wednesday, there were rumors swirling around the Henry Cejudo camp. At the time, it was believed that “The Messenger” suffered a major injury after a loud scream was heard from inside the UFC workout room.
Cejudo immediately shut down the rumors during a media scrum, asserting he was healthy enough to compete for the then vacant 135-pound title.
“I did have a little bump on my knee, my right knee. I hit the edge of the damn corner. It hurt. That’s it,” he said.
Apparently, the Olympic gold medalist and now two-division UFC champion did enter the fight compromised with an injury.
