Former two-weight UFC champion Henry Cejudo thinks Israel Adesanya 's fights are underwhelming and the UFC should stop promoting him.
Adesanya made the fourth defence of his 185lb belt at UFC 276 earlier this month by outpointing Jared Cannonier in a fight that lacked any significant action. Many fans were spotted leaving the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas before the final round started, with actor Chris Pratt even criticising the UFC champion for his performance.
Cejudo, who retired from the UFC in 2020 but is plotting a comeback, thinks Adesanya should not be headlining pay-per-view events because of his recent performances. “It’s crazy when you come out to The Undertaker. You didn’t put a performance on Saturday night. It was lame,” he said on The Triple C & Schmo Show.
