Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-12-02, fight not particularly good between Henry Cejudo and Sergio Pettis: it gets two stars.The 2008 Olympic freestyle wrestling gold medalist Henry Cejudo entered this fight with a mma record of 11-2-0 (45% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.3 flyweight in the world. He lost two consecutive bouts in 2016, against current #1 Ufc Flw champion Demetrious Johnson (=Johnson vs Cejudo) and with Joseph Benavidez (via split decision, Benavidez vs Cejudo) but he came back to win in 2017 with Wilson Reis (=Cejudo vs Reis).

He lost to Ryan Benoit in 2015 but then he has won four fights defeating John Moraga (=Pettis vs Moraga) and Brandon Moreno in 2017 (=Pettis vs Moreno).
