Henry Cejudo shocked the MMA world with a decision victory over Demetrious Johnson in the co-main event of UFC 227 in Los Angeles, but Bellator featherweight kingpin Patricio Freire wasn’t surprised.
Cejudo has visited and trained with “Pitbull” in his gym in Natal, Brazil, several times before his last few fights in the UFC, and the Bellator star was happy to see Cejudo evolve to the point that he toppled “Mighty Mouse” from the flyweight throne after five rounds.
“He beat the guy that had the most title defenses in UFC, so that’s historical, “ Freire told MMA Fighting.
