Dominance MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz has revealed that Henry Cejudo fought Merab Dvalishvili while injured. Cejudo (16-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) lost a unanimous decision to Dvalishvili at UFC 298 . After winning Round 1, Cejudo was visibly tired after being outgrappled by Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) for the rest of the fight. UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley said he heard Cejudo was hurt going into the fight, and Abdelaziz confirmed those rumors. Abdelaziz had high praise for Dvalishvili but thinks Cejudo should never have fought someone with such high output while compromised.
