Ali Abdelaziz is Cejudo’s manager and he spoke to MMA Fighting, claiming that Dillashaw won’t make weight for the fight.
“I personally don’t think he’ll make it,” Abdelaziz said. “If he makes it, he’s going to be weak, fragile, and he’s going to have a long, long night with the champ.”
Dillashaw would post the following on Instagram:
A fan by the screen name of zachfischer95 would say the following in the comments section of Dillashaw’s post:
“Cejudo’s manager was talking shit saying you won’t make weight and that they will fight Joseph Benavidez come fight fight night. Jokes on him. His boys about to get smoked. #teamkillashaw”
That would lead to the following response from Dillashaw, who promised to kill Cejudo:
“cause he’s praying that I don’t make weight! He know I’ll kill his fighter”
