"That happened yesterday when I sent Dana a text. I said 'Thank you for the opportunity. I fought like a warrior last night. I hope you were entertained.'
"He literally called me two seconds right after I sent the text message to him.
"He was like 'Listen Henry, I apologise. I'm sincerely sorry. You won that fight. Everybody I talked to - Sean Shelby said you won the fight, everybody that was ringside, there was not one person in that arena that thought you didn't win that fight.'
"It was just a sincere apology and I don't really have a relationship with Dana White. I just happened to text him and he was apologetic."
The egregious nature of the decision left Cejudo scratching his head and then he cast his mind back to the time when he had hit out at the Nevada State Athletic Commission for their excessive fine and suspension of Nick Diaz after he had tested positive for marijuana metabolites last January.
Cejudo publicly announced that he would refuse to fight in Nevada due to the heinous nature of the punishment but made himself available to fight in Las Vegas again once Diaz's ban and fine were reduced significantly upon appeal.
And the recent 125lbs title challenger wonders if his explicit challenge of the NAC led to judges assigned by the commission to try to exact revenge with such a questionable decision at Saturday's event, which took place at the Palms Casino Resort.
"I watched the fight early in the morning because I wasn't able to go to sleep and I'm really surprised. I don't know what the judges saw," Cejudo continued.
"I counted every round, all the significant strikes and I just felt like it was a complete robbery. It's a shame what the judges are willing to do.
"I wonder if it was due to the backing up Nick Diaz - the whole Nevada Athletic Commission thing. I don't know if they still have it out for me.
"I definitely do want to fight Joe again eventually but I won't fight him in Vegas."
