In a recent interview he said, “One time he says one thing, different time he says different thing. Then, the stare down with Cejudo. Everything tells me he doesn’t want to fight me again. He understands he lost this fight; he understands it’s going to happen again. I feel like he doesn’t want to fight me again.”

“The first day when I lost the belt, Cejudo started talking about coming back,” Petr Yan makes a valid point

Petr Yan believes Henry Cejudo is afraid of him as well, and to support his argument he said,

“As you remember, when I became [the] #1 contender for the belt is the time when Cejudo retired. And now, the first day when I lost the belt, Cejudo started talking about coming back. He doesn’t want to fight me. For me, now the goal is to get the rematch and Cejudo can be next after that.”
