Dana White evaluates Henry Cejudo's performance, cites lengthy layoff from sport

UFC president Dana White discussed Henry Cejudo's loss at UFC 298 and also talked about his earlier retirement.

White explained in the UFC 298 press conference that Cejudo did not get an octagon interview because it was Merab Dvalishvili's victory and his moment.

"Henry Cejudo already retired, okay? He did the whole drop the gloves thing. Tonight was Merab’s night. Merab went in there, fought the No. 3 guy in the world, former world champion, and easily won the fight. Tonight was Merab’s night. If he wants to retire again, he can do that here or somewhere else. You don’t give the mic to Cejudo tonight."

White then discussed the reason behind Cejudo getting dominated by Dvalishvili.

"In my opinion, you can’t take three years off in combat sports. It’s never done well for anybody, and Cejudo looked great in the first round. I thought he started to gas out in the second round. Merab just got stronger as the fight went on."
