Cejudo's retirement was a travesty. Absolute bollocks

What the fuck was that, and why? His retirement is almost as big as GSPs after Hendricks and Khabibs. Obviously Cejudo is the lesser draw of the 3 but it was one of MMAs biggest losses.

I don't care what you say it was absolute bullocks mate.

He was on one of, if not the best runs of all time. Beat MM in the rematch and basically ended his UFC career, beat juiced to the gills weight bully TJ dillashaw in 1 rd, moved up and fought Moraes for the belt at BW and out on one of the BEST performances of the past 10 years from any UFC fighter. It was unreal. Became double champ and Moraes never won a fight again, he technically beat Aldo but everyone agreed he didn't and we gave Aldo the titleshot after. Then he SMASHED Cruz for fun and Cruz tried to blame Keith Peterson for the loss.

To top that all off he retires. It was such bad timing and fell so flat that I thought it was an elaborate joke. He hasn't fought in almost 2 years. I agree that he wasn't a massive draw but he was on his way to becoming a GOAT. Incredible run and became a double champ.

I am so sad that he retired after that and under such circumstances.

It's the khabib philosophy, retirement while on top to avoid losing once you have to start facing top competition 3x a year

GSP retirement is not comparable at all

He was trying to play the game and get paid more. Dana didn't take the bait.

 

[accolyte1022]

Wow, ABSOLUTE bollocks.

 

[ryun253]

He has pretty decent resume. Should've kept fighting I think his brand would have been pretty big by now especially with his cringe gimmick

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

I heard the real reason he retired is cuz UFC was going to impose a height restriction.

Khabib and GSP made sense there was a lot of speculation back then, also they were biggest star at their time so they retirement was shocking.

Cejudo in the other hand was just getting started, he got the chance to fight for another belt and it looked like he was going to build a huge legacy but outta nowhere he called it quits, I'm sure Dana and WME didn't like it so they decided to give him the middle finge back.

HE THOUGHT DANA WOULD BE LIKE
COME BACK BABY ILL GIVE YOU 1 MIL AND A 145LB TITLE SHOT
BUT DANA DONT GIVE A FUCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Would love to see Cejudo fighting again. He brought a lot of attention to the lower weight classes.

Cejudo vs Snake

Eh.. shit happens.

Got gifted a win vs MM
TJ was drained & popped for peds
Marlon, fell off the cliff
Dom came off a early a 4 year lay off

No man lol

People try and downplay that run but it just isn't happening. TJ was considered one of the best BW of all time, doesnt matter how you spin in. Also juiced to the gills which is hilarious.

Morales had 1 loss in his last 20 fights and avenged that 1 loss before fighting cejudo.

Cruz just put on an amazing performance against Munoz, notoriously inactive fighter and Cejudo was the smaller man that night fighting at 135.

Close fight with MM, defenitly, no where near a robbery.

The problem with Henry is that he sometimes opens his mouth to speak.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Miscalculated I’d say. Overestimated how much he’s actually worth. I just remember crickets within the mma community when he retired.

i remember more people talking about the stoppage and Dominic Cruz beef with Keith Peterson

Moraes beat Aldo after the Cejudo loss

worst joke ever

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

If you say that Aldo was the "real" winner, then I could say the same thing about DJ. Can't have it both ways.
