Cejudo, the 2009 Olympic gold medalist, used a series of ankle picks to take Faber down repeatedly, securing a technical‑fall victory 11‑0. Faber showed solid mat defense but could not score.
After the win, Cejudo shouted a challenge to Merab Dvalishvili, who accepted. The former UFC bantamweight champion will face Cejudo at RAF 7 in April.
