Henry Cejudo shares prediction on Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes

Speaking with The Schmo, Henry Cejudo was asked to share his prediction for the featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes at UFC 314. Cejudo backed Lopes to get the job done, highlighting the Brazilian's relentless pressure and emphasizing how underrated the 30-year-old’s submission game is.

Cejudo said:

''I personally think Diego Lopes is going to beat him. I really do...I think his pressure, I think he brings it early. Volkanovski will eventually give you distance. You can only run for so long. Where Diego Lopes is dangerous is in the first round, and also he’s really good on bottom. If Volkanovski does take him to the ground, this dude’s submission game is underrated, bro.”
