Replying to Henry’s comments, Moreno stated: “Oh man, I really appreciate the comments brother…I prefer to talk with you behind the scenes and be clear, you know. I feel a little bit uncomfortable with all the people in front, you know, but I mean..I really appreciate it. I’ve been always a guy of peace, and that’s it, you know. So maybe we can talk a little bit later brother but I really appreciate what he’s right now.”
How Brandon and Cejudo’s Friendship Turned Into Rivalry
From 2014 to 2016, Cejudo and Moreno trained together in Arizona. However, their bond began to sour when Cejudo picked Alexandre Pantoja over Moreno as the first pick in his team. This led to Moreno being sent to Joseph Benavidez’s camp. The duo developed bad blood and rivalry from that point. While both of them went on to win UFC titles, the grudge remained intact in their hearts.
Over the years, both fighters exchanged heated words. Fortunately, as the duo prepares for the upcoming UFC 323 event, after a long rivalry, the duo appears to have finally settled their differences.
