Fight Record and Present History
Cejudo (14-2) is coming off of two shocking wins. To begin with, in 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 moving down in weight to take on Cejudo. Ultimately, the flyweight champion knocked Dillashaw out in just 32 seconds to defend his name. 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 from the UFC was his debut from Assuncao, but he got the win back before this season.

There’s a clear path to victory for both Cejudo and Moraes inside this fight. If the flyweight winner can use his Olympic wrestling because he did against Johnson afterward he will grind a decision triumph. For Moraes, he wants to use his explosiveness to stuff that the takedowns and maintain Cejudo in a range where he could pick him besides his jab.
