What happened to Cejudo vs Benavidez?

[FutureBwChamp]

Why did they get different opponents?

 

[Skydome]

The UFC probably came to the realization that Cejudo/Formiga made 100x more sense for the division and Bagutinov needed a fight so thats when JB came into the picture.

 

[Danespina]

Cejudo vs. Formiga makes much more sense.

 

[EndlessCritic]

because sherdog complains no matter what

if they did joeb vs cejudo, sherdog would complain that the ufc is potentially killing a 125 contender.

 

[FenoxSky]

Is Cejudo/Formiga official?

 

[MacPherson911]

Cejudo wanted to fight in Mexico again and Joe B couldn't do that date for some reason.

 

[Spycho]

It even was on the Mexico card like a week ago on the UFC website, looked official to me.

Personally i would of liked to see this match but it can still happen later down the line and i like the match ups that they ended making in the end much better then this match anyway .
so no reason to complain

LOL Joe B vs. Cejudo would have been the first Octagon death. They saved Cejudo's life.

Cejudo wanted to fight in Mexico again and Joe B couldn't do that date for some reason.

I think he's getting married around that time.

Cejudo's camp watched some tapes.
