Brandon Moreno: Henry Cejudo’s coach not telling full truth about fallout

UFC flyweight champ Brandon Moreno says there’s more to the story about why his relationship with former friend Henry Cejudo dissolved — and he’ll soon reveal his side.

Moreno is scheduled to defend his UFC flyweight title against Alexandre Pantoja in the co-main event of UFC 290 on July 8. Cejudo and Moreno had a close relationship prior to The Ultimate Fighter 24, where Cejudo was a coach and Moreno was a competitor.

“The only thing I’m going [to say] about it, because I’m focused right now on Alexandre [Pantoja] — he’s dangerous — but the only thing I’m going to say is that, for sure, he’s saying some truth, but he’s lying in a different way at the same time,” Moreno said on The MMA Hour.

“So in the [present], not [going to really talk about it] right now. I want to talk a little bit more [about it], but right now, I’m focusing on Alexandre. I know you want to ask me about what happens in the future, but man, that’s the future.”
