Cejudo repeatedly utilized ankle picks and low-single leg takedowns to control Faber throughout the match, showcasing the quickness that made him a 2009 Olympic gold medalist. Despite Faber's defensive efforts on the mat, he couldn't produce any offense as Cejudo continued to score.
Following his victory, Cejudo immediately turned his attention to Merab Dvalishvili, shouting 'You're next!' and challenging him to a match at RAF 7 in April. Dvalishvili accepted the challenge with enthusiasm, declaring 'Absolutely yes, let's do it!' as the two former UFC champions faced off on stage.
