A fight for the vacant UFC bantamweight title has yet to be booked, but potential opponents Marlon Moraes and Henry Cejudo are already going at it on social media.
Moraes told ESPN’s Ariel Helwani Wednesday he believes he deserves to be one of the two fighters to compete for the vacant belt. The Brazilian suggested Cejudo, the current UFC flyweight champ, not move up and instead stay at 125 pounds.
“That’s my fight,” Moraes said. “I’m very confident the UFC will pick the right opponent for me. Cejudoweight? Tell Cejudo to stay in his lane.
