Aware of the great moment experienced by both athletes, the former double champion believes that the challenger has made greater progress since the first fight held in 2021.

“I'm going to have to go back and rewatch their fight for the first time and see how that really went. I will say this: they both improved, but if there is one person who I would say has evolved more than the other, his name is Belal Muhammad |”, declared Cejudo in a video published on his channel YouTube.

To justify his opinion, Henry highlighted Belal's best qualities during confrontations.

“He became like this, bizarrely much better. He is a freestyle fighter. It's not like he has this crazy fast technique like Leon or nice knees to the middle or front that are extremely dangerous. What he knows how to do is mix up his damn fight. He knows how to level change at the right time. He knows when to bait you. He knows when to push and when someone is tired and exhausted, like he did with Sean brady”He concluded.
