Cejudo wants to cement legacy by becoming ‘triple champ’

[Wild]

Henry Cejudo has only just won the flyweight title, but the newly-crowned champion is already interested in moving up a weight class to challenge reigning bantamweight titleholder T.J. Dillashaw in a ‘superfight’.

Cejudo, who became the first man to dethrone pound-for-pound great Demetrious Johnson, called out Dillashaw in the UFC 227 post-fight interview and told reporters at the post-fight press conference that his goal is to become a ‘triple champ’.

The 31-year-old already has an Olympic gold medal to his name, and now, after winning the UFC flyweight title, ‘The Messenger’ is determined to become a two-division champ in MMA’s premiere promotion.

“If you guys watch my fight look at how muscular,…

Settle down Henry. Defend the Flyweight title a time or two first.

 

[ShatsBassoon]

Yeah, mmkay sure.

There's a 0% chance that the 5'4 Henry Cejudo wins the belt at 145.

Yes, but what if 5’6” Frankie is champ? Thats right, he will get dismantled by The Answer.

Frankie Edgar might be the most under rated fighter in the history of the sport.

 

[Haulport]

It's also pretty funny that Henry is talking all this triple crown stuff after getting a SPLIT decision win over a guy who finished him 2 years ago. How about a rubber match? I bet MM wins.

 

[Dick Niaz]

You can’t triple champ a double champ! Lloyd, Lloyd!

Frankie Edgar might be the most under rated fighter in the history of the sport.

He is a BW who won the LW Championship

That goes under many peoples’ radars.

and his featherweight losses are Jose Aldo, Jose Aldo, and Brian Ortega.

First person to defeat Faver outside a championship fight. As well as Mendes, finished him in fact. Which by logic, fanboyisms and superstition, makes him some sort of champion.

This should just be a Frankie Edgar appreciation thread. Too many “I’m going to be multi class” champ threads. Not enough Frankie Edgar appreciation threads.

cejudo has the ultimate question for the answer,but can frankie answer the ¿question?

 

[Jesus X]

ortega would overpower cejudo easily.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

but can frankie answer the ¿question?

Yes.

For the first time in his life, Frankie would have a reach advantage. Lil Hank wouldn't be able to keep up with Frankie's tempo as it is, tack on 20 pounds and he's going to look like he's wearing cement shoes.

 

[Jesus X]

mighty mouse is at 125 because he felt the size difference vs dominic cruz, cejudo would be really small even at 135 lbs.

 

[Jesus X]

Yes.

that wasn't a question that needed an answer or the answer.

r/woosh

Well, you did quote me an repeat something I said earlier in the thread, so...

 

[ShakaSway]

cejudo has the ultimate question for the answer,but can frankie answer the ¿question?

Yes

The only way HC gets 3 belts is if he changes gender.

I heard they're going to make 124 and 126 lbs divisions.

 

[Filthy]

I heard they're going to make 124 and 126 lbs divisions.

126 will be too deep.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

126 will be too deep.

Cody can probably make 126.

Brendan Vera's soul inserted into Henry Cejudo

 

[Ted Williams' head]

Hard to see that happening. TJ would murder him. 145? Forget about it. Max Holloway is nearly 6 feet tall, he'd step on you Henry
