Cejudo won that fight . Sterling is a bum. Aside from the TJ fight which was an injury, sterling never won the belt, and has has nothing but split decisions/ decisions .
I would like to see the downed knee be allowed in ufc competition. Sterling does a great job exploiting this rule by the way he“rests” on bottom during the fight.
I can understand both sides of the isle on this. Ultimately It comes down to the fighter that's on top. Like Henry said, in that position there is plenty of room to do damage to the body plus you can try to take his back. But I also think it's hella annoying. It looks bad and should not be a tactic in a fighting sport. You're extremely exposed and that goes directly into the refs very first warning.
You need the dog to come out again. Being too technical can cause you to hesitate. Go in there with the mindset to finish everyone. If they press, you bite down and throw. Shoot if it's open but then right away ground & pound. Also, add some BJJ to your ground game so there's more of a threat when on the ground. You can be Champ again.
You lost this one. Ring rust. All good. You will be back. Would love to see you take a little more risk on the next one. You got the skills if you rip a mistake so let’s go Henry!
At the start of this video I thought maybe Cejudo has finally gotten over this loss, but he still isn't honest with himself about this fight and still thinking he beat Aljo. Even the clips from the fight are edited not to show a lot of striking, which was where Cejudo lost to Aljo the most. For example in round 3 Aljo landed (26 of 29) sig. strikes vs Cejudo's (5 of 29). Control time was 1:30 for Aljo and 1:43 for Cejudo. So looking at the stats for round 3 Aljo landed 11 more sig. strikes and Cejudo had 13 seconds more control time. Both had 1 takedown. Same thing with round 1. Aljo lands 20 sig.strikes to Cejudo's 7. Aljo had 2 takedowns and Cejudo 1. Overall looking at UFC stats Aljo significantly beat Cejudo in all areas except control time. Cejudo was also showing more damage on his face. Judging was definitely weird, but it went weird both ways. Cleary gave round 5 to Aljo, but all judges gave R3 to Cejudo which could have easily been give to Aljo. I think Aljo took round 1,3 and 4 and was more active during the fight. Active striking really is a deal breaker in close fights like these. I hope Cejudo gets over this loss and improves enough to get the title back, it was awesome to follow his career to this point wondering how much can he still add to his legacy.
Bro your game plan was flawed. You should have stayed on top of Aljo when he was stalling on his knees. Even if you don’t do a lot of damage, you control him and win the round by points. You let him up a few times where I think you could have instead won those rounds by staying on top of him.
It was a great fight. I’ve said this before, I became a cejudo fan after I saw the way you handled the loss. I’m glad you’re back and didn’t retire. You can heal up and still make another run at the title. I did think you lost to aljo though. It was close, but I gave to him just by hair. I think when he stole the end of the first round is what made him win the fight
@@oldironsides4107 great is overused obviously but common sense would say he's saying it was a very good fight. Its always nice when a title fight isnt boring
When aljo is standing with his hands on the canvas. I don't understand why Henry didn't just start throwing throw uppercuts and being aggresive hitting him instead of just letting him up
He out worked you always scoring strikes light or heavy from all positions - whereas you would take him down and stop striking or you would clinch and throw no strikes, knee, elbow, or foot stomp. His cardio and activity was better than yours - you left dozens of striking opportunities on the table.
Regardless of who people think won ehich I think Henry won, the weirdest thing to me is hearing Aljo talking about he was able to outgrapple the gold medalist when he didn't lol. He kept going on his hands and knees everytime Henry outmaneuvered him.
I wish that Cejudo kneed him as hard as humanly possible in the head when he does that. Take the DQ, get the rematch like Yan and have him scared shitless to do that move again
The point of fighting is winning the positions and making other guy fight your fight. It was grappling and if Henry was the better grappler he would have scouted Aljo and had an answer for it.
@@SweetScienceLab laying on your hands and knees is the most vulnerable position you could ever be in a self defense situation. Aljo did not outgrapple Henry lol. If Colby won fights like that, people would lose their minds let alone praise that wack style.
@@designingtheenemy5869 Henry loses to Aljo 9/10 times. If Henry initiates grappling and Aljo figured out how to negate it... he beat Henry at MMA grappling. Did he try to pivot and take Aljo's back? Aljo does this every fight. Henry was expecting it... right?
Bro honestly I forgot that fight even happened lmao. There’s like a whole new title fight about to happen in that division… Id just try to move on and better myself lol
I agree I feel it might have been better to dmg him in those north south kind of positions. You won that position, might as well cash in what you can. But just imo. It def makes sense what you did too and putting weight and stress on him.. I felt you won 3 so I have no doubt you can win rematch
The reason that you lost is that you dont have ground game, submissions, you always say that you need to be well rounded, dont say, do it...he rested on the ground because you allowed him to, you took him down and did no damage, work on your game because you have takedowns but you did with them nothing, olso your cardio, you were breathing hard after the first round, you reserve power to much, it looks like you do to much thinking while fighting, let the beast get out and have a clear mind, you dont need to think about the punch you throw, just throw it, it should come naturally, the only reason you lost is because of you. Better cardio, ground game and more ferociousness..you will win. Let's go
I think your being honest with yourself, and that is what is needed. You never know what the judges see, you can only control what the referee see's ....... your opponents tapping out!
You won 2,3 and 5 in my opinion. Humble advide: In the rematch you should take advantage of your wrestling abilities. When the coward throw a leg kick, you should grab it and go for a takedown instead of checking it. Work more on your cardio and try to relax before the fight, you looked tense and breathing heavy before the match.
@@cunctator3401 The guy beat some of the most dangerous fighters in the world and he’s somehow pathetic because he’s smart enough to take advantage of a stupid rule in the UFC
6:31 you saying “I should’ve punished him” just shows you weren’t in fighting mindset. you supposed to punish him when the fight start right away, no mercy. that’s how he did you 🤷🏾♂️
Love the honest breakdown Henry. Your cringe bugged me, but your humility and self reflection while watching that loss makes me realize you are full of shit when on the schtick, and a humble guy in real life. You won me over, I'm a fan now. Great video
I mean pound for pound Cejudo was clearly better, look at that big size difference and still Aljo couldn’t put him away or even hurt him that much. But in the end it was an honest win for aljo.
Hey Henry, amazing performance after years off. One thing I did notice that you also brought up was capitalizing on the moments. Smell the blood. Also, Aljo was comfortable with you grabbing his head as a wrestler, practice some subs. Learn a high guillotine, those moments he’s on his knees could be exploited if you threatened any form of sub in that dominant position. Solid work, thank you for your performance!
I was suprised that he did not use BJJ submissions. In one of his training videos with Demetrious Johnson, Demetrious told that he could help Henry with his submission game. I though that they would have worked on that. I also watched the fight online with Firas Zahabi (GSP coach) and he called before this fight that he was worried about Henry not attempting submission. This fear was due to Henry's MMA stats (no win by submission).
Since damage trumps all I wouldn’t necessarily focus on trying to steal the round at the end as much as focusing on inflicting real damage during your best opportunities. By gaining dominant position multiple times throughout that fight you’ve created multiple opportunities to inflict damage. Seize those moments and you win!
Omg Henry you lost that fight easily. I thought you were going to run through him but I was wrong. Biggest thing that’s stood out to me was your lack of JiuJitsu! You had him on the ground a few times and you never capitalized at all, you just let him up. Like atleast punish him with punches or something! What good is the wrestling if you’re not going to ground and pound them after?
It's plain and simple, you coulda, shoulda done more. You weren't going after him with aggression. It was more like a slow game of checkers. Get back in there do some damage.
If you had of fought like you did against Cruz you would have won. But you weren't active enough, even when you had ground control. You can't argue that point. You were too careful & cautious
Watching it live I thought you won 3 rds. It was super close scoring imo. I did feel like Aljo was in control for more of fight. And I strongly dislike rules that protect the fighter in a disadvantageous position. And I think the judges seeing Aljo do that could have hurt him w judges for that rd. I remember Serra saying not to do that again bc he didn't like how it looked to judges
Bro aljo keeps putting himself in bad position and you guys day he's taking advantage . Henry himself said he could done better at those moments . It's Henry fault for not capitalizing
I thought you won based on landing the heartier strikes and takedowns but aljo plays the point game really really well and the judges saw it in his favor. The think when he was on his knees in front of you multiple times in the fight he was too safe based off the grounded opponent rules but maybe work on different ways to damage someone when they are in the position against you. I hope you do well with recovery from your shoulder injury and I really look forward to watching you fight again. You’re definitely a goat of combat sports! I see you getting the finish in your next fight big Hen-Dawg!!
You let him get away in a lot of exchanges, you needed to make him pay EVERY TIME he was out of position on his knees if his abusing that rule and you know he does that utilize that against him with body shots and level change feints you set up head attacks
It was really close but Aljo did win. Throughout the fight I was saying that you should just punish him more, that could have been because of your layoff. If you ever fought again I would put my money on you
As someone who actually saw this fight live.. You blew my mind that night I just wish you didn't hold back on those little moments when you let aljo get back up🔥🔥
It's not a L if you take it like a man. It's a Learning experience. You're not always going to get it right but if you have that attitude. The way you conduct yourself will echo in time. Not your record.
True champions don’t lie to themselves!! Respect triple c this is why you will become even stronger ! You changed your whole style last time you lost one of the most intelligent fighters out there !
Cejudo us a real one. A real man. He runs his mouth cuz hes great but also to be funny i love it. But at the end of the day hes a man when he loses and i can relate that hurt cuz i wrestled my whole life.
The ufc judges are the worst on the planet. I would never trust them, although they may've been right in this one. Still, they tend to take away the integrity of the sport. It often sucks to be a fan nowdays.
You gotta let the hands go more, there was certain positions where you were just looking at him in the grappling exchanges and you coulda done some damage to look good to the judges.
Fights need to be less about “scoring” and more about damage and control. A takedown alone shouldn’t count as you scoring….you need to do something with that take down. If you land 2 or 3 pitter patter shots, then proceed to get hit with a big overhand….that overhand should count more.
I agree with everything that was said. It really missed the ground and pound style like Khabib or Jon Jones, particularly the knees to the body. I'm not sure if it was possible to get a more side control position from north-south, to try to gain a better position and inflict more damage, especially when he was in half guard. We can't lose those opportunities. But yes, it truly was a competitive fight. We saw standing fighting, clinching, takedowns - it was a real MMA fight.
Are knees to ribs illegal now? I remember GSP doing it on Serra to win a rematch. I though that Henry would have done it on Sterling when he was doing the turtle.
It was a great and competitive fight 👏 but I feel like you need to revisit the scoring criteria too. You mention you're winning a round based of a takedown and control which is very low on the scoring list, and only used if the damage is exactly equal. Damage is all. In the 3rd round you mention your takedown (which was nice) and his control against the cage when that knee Aljo landed was the one that scored heaviest. So absolutely incorporate more ground and pound to really score with your takedowns 💪 Good luck in the next 🏅🏆🏆
" takedown and control which is very low on the scoring list, and only used if the damage is exactly equal. Damage is all." Judges for Moreno vs Pantoja showed us that that's not the case. Moreno was definitely the one who did most of the damage for most of the rounds, yet they gave the bout to Pantoja because he had way more control time.
@@forzacavaliere I didn't watch that fight unfortunately so can't really comment on it but perhaps he did effective grappling like try to get to better/dangerous positions e.g. taking the back and at least threat with subbs? I do remember the scorecards were all over the place so judges are also confused lol.
@forzacavaliere You're comparing one fight to one other fight and saying these judges got it wrong. You're showing bias. The rule book says damage > anything else. If anything the judges for Pantoja vs Moreno got it wrong.
Mr. Cejudo.... In my personal opinion.... if you win or lose .... you still are one of the greatest fighters of all time ... if not the greatest ..... No one comes close to having your resume.....you are a triple champ... I love watching your fights...... I'm one of your biggest fans..... River Rat 🐀
Great breakdown, I am impressed with your honesty. I did think you won, I also understood why the judges thought differently. You did a great job. Thankyou for the MMA knowledge!!!
You don't have a submission game. Yeah you have wrestling, but even in that, you don't have absolute dominant top control and GNP. Same with Usman, doesn't have a submission game. Yeah you have done well even without that dimension of the sport and skillset, but it's only going to add to you being a bigger threat
If this wasn’t a title fight or if cejudo already had the title he wins. Aljo for the championship favor that we see so often. You gotta stop a champ to take the belt basically.
Tbh henry couldve finished aljo a couple of times. He just didnt take advantage of certain positions/moments plus ring rust as well. Im sure CCC will beat merab and aljo if there was ever a rematch..
I promise I'll be back stronger than ever, Triple C ain't done yet! 🏆🏆🏆

Henry too much technical not enough dog in this fight
yes you did, enough already ...! get the rematch and come back in the ring.
Lmao they weren’t not chanting Henry 😂
As someone who actually saw this fight live.. You blew my mind that night I just wish you didn't hold back on those little moments when you let aljo get back up🔥🔥
I don't understand why wrestlers refuse to use wrestling offensively
It's not a L if you take it like a man. It's a Learning experience. You're not always going to get it right but if you have that attitude. The way you conduct yourself will echo in time. Not your record.
You really, really did. For the 1000th time.
Aljo outclassed you bro. Cut the fight off in the 4th cause i already knew he was gonna win
Short answer, yes
Long answer, yesssssss
Be a real champ and take your lose
True champions don’t lie to themselves!! Respect triple c this is why you will become even stronger ! You changed your whole style last time you lost one of the most intelligent fighters out there !
Henry Cejudo, the first ever to flex how big their head is lolol.
Cejudo us a real one. A real man. He runs his mouth cuz hes great but also to be funny i love it. But at the end of the day hes a man when he loses and i can relate that hurt cuz i wrestled my whole life.
He won the fight. It was close but you didn't do enough work off the takedown which made them not enough
Thanks for the video, HENRY CEJUDO
Ufc is giving a shot to its own foot, a lot of ridiculous decisions of the judges, they are ruining everything
Or why when aljo is standing with his hands on the canvas why not punch him in the ribs ??
The ufc judges are the worst on the planet. I would never trust them, although they may've been right in this one. Still, they tend to take away the integrity of the sport. It often sucks to be a fan nowdays.
You gotta let the hands go more, there was certain positions where you were just looking at him in the grappling exchanges and you coulda done some damage to look good to the judges.
Henry learned the “knee right hand” from omalley
Aljo is the most complete
Fights need to be less about “scoring” and more about damage and control. A takedown alone shouldn’t count as you scoring….you need to do something with that take down. If you land 2 or 3 pitter patter shots, then proceed to get hit with a big overhand….that overhand should count more.
yes you REALLY DID. if you lose your next fight you're finished
Great video, educational and honest.
Round 3 isnt a question…if you give Aljo round 1 you have to give Henry round 3 under the same premise.
2:11 "I mean look at the girth." 😳🤣
Holding someone against the cage should not give you advantage, you should not win a fight because of it
Yes. Yes you did. But it was still a great competition between you two and I look forward to your next match my guy.
Did not.
I agree with everything that was said. It really missed the ground and pound style like Khabib or Jon Jones, particularly the knees to the body. I'm not sure if it was possible to get a more side control position from north-south, to try to gain a better position and inflict more damage, especially when he was in half guard. We can't lose those opportunities. But yes, it truly was a competitive fight. We saw standing fighting, clinching, takedowns - it was a real MMA fight.
Are knees to ribs illegal now? I remember GSP doing it on Serra to win a rematch. I though that Henry would have done it on Sterling when he was doing the turtle.
It was a great and competitive fight 👏 but I feel like you need to revisit the scoring criteria too. You mention you're winning a round based of a takedown and control which is very low on the scoring list, and only used if the damage is exactly equal. Damage is all. In the 3rd round you mention your takedown (which was nice) and his control against the cage when that knee Aljo landed was the one that scored heaviest. So absolutely incorporate more ground and pound to really score with your takedowns 💪 Good luck in the next 🏅🏆🏆
" takedown and control which is very low on the scoring list, and only used if the damage is exactly equal. Damage is all." Judges for Moreno vs Pantoja showed us that that's not the case. Moreno was definitely the one who did most of the damage for most of the rounds, yet they gave the bout to Pantoja because he had way more control time.
@@forzacavaliere I didn't watch that fight unfortunately so can't really comment on it but perhaps he did effective grappling like try to get to better/dangerous positions e.g. taking the back and at least threat with subbs? I do remember the scorecards were all over the place so judges are also confused lol.
@forzacavaliere You're comparing one fight to one other fight and saying these judges got it wrong. You're showing bias. The rule book says damage > anything else. If anything the judges for Pantoja vs Moreno got it wrong.
Mr. Cejudo....
In my personal opinion....
if you win or lose ....
you still are one of the greatest fighters of all time ...
if not the greatest .....
No one comes close to having your resume.....you are a triple champ...
I love watching your fights......
I'm one of your biggest fans.....
River Rat 🐀
Get that shoulder healed and prove ur still here in the next one bro we're still rooting for you
Yep 💯
champs always get decisions unless contender shows more work than champ cant be close.
Great breakdown, I am impressed with your honesty. I did think you won, I also understood why the judges thought differently. You did a great job. Thankyou for the MMA knowledge!!!
Yes. Hope that’s clarified things for you.
You don't have a submission game. Yeah you have wrestling, but even in that, you don't have absolute dominant top control and GNP.
Same with Usman, doesn't have a submission game.
Yeah you have done well even without that dimension of the sport and skillset, but it's only going to add to you being a bigger threat
If this wasn’t a title fight or if cejudo already had the title he wins. Aljo for the championship favor that we see so often. You gotta stop a champ to take the belt basically.
When you pick fights. “ Your shitt”
Tbh henry couldve finished aljo a couple of times. He just didnt take advantage of certain positions/moments plus ring rust as well. Im sure CCC will beat merab and aljo if there was ever a rematch..
Double C isn't bullshitting tho, great breakdown
