Henry Cejudo has reacted to the controversial result of Valentina Shevchenko vs Taila Santos at UFC 275. Valentina fought Taila to defend her UFC flyweight title for a 7th time after winning the title against Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC 231. Valentina is the pound-for-pound best female fighter in the UFC and among the best female MMA fighters of all time. The fight was expected to be a one-sided contest for Valentina, and santos entered the match as an underdog. However, the fight became one of the hardest fights for Valentina in her career.

Though nobody expected Taila to win the fight, she controlled Valentina throughout the five rounds and even tried submitting to the dominant champion through a rear naked choke. The fight was very close, and many predicted that Taila did enough to dethrone the PFP champion. However, the official results have sparked a controversy in the MMA community, as many question the way fights are scored.

Valentina won the fight through a split decision as judges scored the fight 48-47, 47-48 and 49-46. Many MMA fighters reacted to the score of the third judge, who scored the fight 49-46 in favor of Valentina. Among those fighters is Henry Cejudo, who found the scorecard absurd and suggested that the scoring criteria mush be improved. Henry tweeted on his twitter account and showed his shocked reaction to the scorecard.

Henry is not happy about Glover’s recent comments on him about coming back to the octagon after announcing retirement. Henry believes Glover has a long way to go before commenting on him and his legacy. Glover recently mentioned that he will never fight or talk about stepping inside the cage again after announcing his retirement, unlike Henry Cejudo.

Henry retired from the sport in 2020 but has now decided to make a comeback soon. Henry didn’t like glovers words and in his recent interview with The Schmo, he talked about glover and said he has no right to talk about henry because he has not even defended his belt once.

Henry said: “There’ are a lot of champions that he has to beat in order for him to cement his legacy because as of right now, he hasn’t even defended his belt. So when you defend your belt is when you can truly say, ‘I am a world champion.
