Fight Record and Present History
Cejudo (14-2) is coming off of two shocking wins. To begin with, at UFC 227, he ended the dominant reign of Demetrious Johnson and won the flyweight belt with unanimous decision. Then, at UFC Brooklyn in January, bantamweight champion, TJ Dillashaw was going down to carry on Cejudo. Ultimately, the flyweight champion knocked Dillashaw outside in just 32 minutes to defend his title. The Olympic gold medalist also has notable wins over the likes of Sergio Pettis, Jussier Formiga, and Wilson Reis, amongst others.
Moraes (22-5-1) is riding a four-fight winning streak with wins over Raphael Assuncao, Jimmie Rivera, Aljamain Sterling, and John Dodson. He has defeated Sheymon Moraes back in World Series of Fighting when he was champion. His only loss in the UFC was that his debut against Assuncao, but he got the win back earlier this season.

There’s a very clear path to victory for both Cejudo and Moraes inside this fight. If the flyweight champion can utilize his Olympic wrestling as he did against Johnson then he will grind out a decision win. To get Moraes, he wants to utilize his explosiveness to stuff the takedowns and keep Cejudo in a range where he can pick him besides his jab.
