”My immediate reaction was that it was something that was unjust. Throughout the period of 2004 through 2012, I’ve probably been tested about 100 times by USADA [United States Anti-Doping Agency], but never have I run into a case where somebody has been tested three times in the span of probably 12 hours. To me it’s something that’s unjust, and I feel like as an Olympic athlete who’s now a UFC fighter it gives the…I feel like I have his side because I’ve been there before. And not to discount the fact that he passed two tests and the only test that came back negative was a test that wasn’t even credited by WADA.”
”To me it was just like, man, I felt like Nick Diaz was targeted from the get-go. And I just can’t sit there and let this man be suspended for five years. I can’t even live with myself, because I’ve been through this process from the age of 17 to the age of 26.”
Cejudo säger att han även skulle tacka nej till en titelmatch om galan skulle vara i Nevada och förklarar att han vet att han kommer att bli mästare en dag, men att det inte behöver vara nu, utan nu kan Cejudo stå upp för en människa som han tycker har blivit felbehandlad.
”To me it’s not so much based on success,” sa han. ”As a competitor, I want to compete and I want to accomplish everything, but to me the message here is to do what’s right. Will I become a UFC champion some day? I know I will. Will I do it now? Maybe I don’t have to. Maybe I’m more into protests now for the sake of this man who’s been wrongly processed with this five-year ban. That’s ridiculous.”
”I know we have a big UFC coming up in December with Conor McGregor headlining, and [Chris] Weidman,” sa han. ”I definitely don’t want to sidetrack that event.
”I’m just here to take a step for my personal view, and I just couldn’t do it. Even if that means leaving the belt on the line and leaving somebody else to fight whoever has that belt at that time, I’m willing to do that. I’m willing to show the type of person with the type of character that I am.”
Cejudo kommer att möta Jussier ”Formiga” Da Silva (18-3) på UFC Fight Night 78.
