When I smoke my references are less clever than I think and just confusing.
I agree with all of your points.
And still want to see the fight.
But seriously, preach on about Cejudo's wins. He's had an amazing run getting the W's he's gotten but some of those are judging and others were razor thin. Love or hate the cringe he understands that to get paid in this sport you should follow the Rousey/Conor/Colby model of training your rhetoric more than any other skill (Alexander the Great vs Aristotle)...
Plus he's in a position where there is no downside to this fight--other than the potential 25 minutes of a locked cage with a 145lb tazmanian devil.
