JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Bantamweight champion [autotag]Henry Cejudo[/autotag] was up to his old tricks during his faceoff with [autotag]Dominick Cruz[/autotag] ahead of UFC 249.
After both men successfully made weight Friday for their title co-headliner, Cejudo (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and Cruz (22-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) had their first and only faceoff ahead of fight night.
Cejudo brought some of his antics, carrying a trash bag with pillows of the faces of Demetrious Johnson, T.J. Dillashaw and Cruz printed on them. The “King of Cringe” then proceeded to kick the pillows in the direction of the media.
Cruz didn’t seem particularly amused, as he exchanged some words with Cejudo before the faceoff concluded.
