"I think people underestimate like how good he is at controlling range and really like how he makes you fight his fight. I mean, I think Cejudo definitely underestimated him and then he started getting smacked on the outside, he couldn't find his way in. I thought they, I mean, I know a lot of people didn't like the decision but I honestly thought Aljo was up 4-1."
