Henry Cejudo admitted that he will never face it again TJ Dillashaw. The current flyweight champion (up to 56,7kg) made the statement to the 'MMA Junkie' website during the UFC 236, last Saturday (13). Dillashaw was suspended for two years by USADA after testing positive in an anti-doping test after UFC Brooklyn, in January this year.

“I’m never fighting him again, man. And it's not because I'm scared or anything. I shook his hand, and this is a sport, declared the fighter, stating that no amount of money offered will influence his decision. “It doesn’t matter what they’re going to offer me. In my eyes, there were bad intentions on TJ's part. I don't want the fight. I have always been drug free”, concluded the Olympic champion.
Even with his compatriot testing positive in the clash between the two, Henry emerged victorious in the fight, knocking out Dillashaw just 32 seconds into the fight for the flyweight belt at the beginning of the year.
Cejudo, however, has other concerns. The fighter moved up a category to compete for the title abandoned by TJ himself in the bantamweight category (up to 61,2kg). The American's opponent will be the Brazilian Marlon moraes, UFC 238, which takes place on June 9th, in Chicago (USA).
If he wins the duel, Henry will be another athlete to become champion of two different divisions. The North American's victory, however, could result in the end of the flyweight category, which has been considered for some time.
