In case you didn’t know…
Current UFC Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion, Henry Cejudo has been on a roll since August of 2018. At UFC 227, two years after initially challenging for the Flyweight Championship, Cejudo faced Demetrious Johnson in a title rematch in the co-main event of the show.
In a back-and-forth fight, Cejudo went on to beat Johnson via split decision to become the UFC’s second Flyweight champion and first Olympic gold medalist to capture UFC gold.
At UFC Fight Night 143, Cejudo successfully defended his Flyweight Title against then-Bantamweight Champion, T.J. Dillashaw, whom he knocked out within 32 seconds of the very first round.
At UFC 238, Cejudo challenged for the vacant UFC Bantamweight Championship against Marlon Moraes. Cejudo won the fight via third-round TKO and became the fourth fighter in the UFC to hold championships in two weight divisions in UFC.
With Frankie Edgar once again set to challenge for the Featherweight Championship this weekend, Cejudo has stated that he will be keeping a close eye on this weekend’s UFC 240 headliner and will be challenging Edgar if he wins the Featherweight Title.
The heart of the matter
While speaking with MMA Fighting recently, Frankie Edgar finally responded to two-division UFC Champion Henry Cejudo by stating that the former Lightweight Champion isn’t interested in fighting the smaller guy but would rather fight the best guy, which right now is Max Holloway.
What’s next?
Frankie Edgar will be challenging Max Holloway for the UFC Featherweight Championship this weekend in the main event of UFC 240 in Canada.
