Henry Cejudo says UFC should stop pushing ‘decision maker’ Israel Adesanya after ‘lame’ performance

Herny Cejudo thinks it’s time for the UFC to stop pushing Israel Adesanya and hyping ‘The Last Stylebender’ to be something he’s not.

‘Triple C’ was not impressed with Adesanya’s performance at UFC 276 where he defeated Jared Cannonier to retain his middleweight title.

It was a dominant showing from the champ, but many expected a more conclusive result — perhaps a finish — after weeks of promising to make Cannonier ‘look easy’ in the buildup. He also walked out to The Undertaker theme tune, which Cejudo was not a fan of.

“It’s crazy when you come out to freaking, to The Undertaker [theme song], and you didn’t put on a performance, man, on Saturday night,” Cejudo said on The Triple C & Schmo Show (h/t MMA News).
