Flyweight champ, bantamweight champ, Olympic champ – and Henry Cejudo is digging for even more gold.
The former UFC dual-champ and current UFC bantamweight champion Cejudo has gone after a plethora of fighters, including women’s flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko, but after conquering two divisions, it appears he has his eyes set on a third.
He wants UFC 145-pound champ Alexander Volkanovski’s gold, too.
“Showing my girl the next belt I’m going to snatch! @alexvolkanovski I’m coming for your belt you over grown midget! Quadruple C in the making! #bendtheknee #beltcollector #golddigger +”
Newly crowned UFC featherweight champ Volkanovski is one of the smaller featherweights in the division, standing at only 5-foot-6, but he does boast a 71.5-inch reach.
And he was quick to come up with a witty response.
“Now now @HenryCejudo , don’t go making empty promises on #ValentinesDay
”
Now now @HenryCejudo, don’t go making empty promises on #ValentinesDay

While UFC president Dana White recently confirmed the plans of having Cejudo defend his 135-pound title in the UFC 250 headliner against Jose Aldo in Brazil, it won’t stop “Triple C” from tossing out a couple more challenges in the meantime.
