Henry Cejudo declares himself ‘The Real King of Rio’, tells Jose Aldo to bend the knee

Step aside Jose Aldo, because there’s a new king in town.

During Henry Cejudo’s recent trip to Brazil, ‘The Messenger’ declared himself ‘The Real King of Rio’ in an Instagram post directed at Brazilian fan favorite Jose Aldo, who will be making his bantamweight debut against Marlon Moraes later this month at UFC 245.

“The Real King of Rio is here! #bendtheknee @josealdojunioroficial,” Cejudo posted on Monday.

‘Triple C’ will be keeping a close eye on Aldo now that ‘Scarface’ has made it clear he’s gunning for a title shot at 135 lbs.
