Henry Cejudo reunited with lost UFC championship belt

After eight days apart from his beloved UFC flyweight championship belt, Henry Cejudo has finally reunited with his favorite 12 pounds of gold.

Cejudo took to his Instagram to share the heartfelt moment.

“From Moscow to New York, I finally got my big daddy,” said Cejudo in the video before cradling his title. “Don’t you ever leave my sight again. You hear me?”

The newly crowned 125-pound king previously lost his belt, along with the rest of luggage, during his flight to Russia last week for UFC Moscow. This, oddly enough, marked the second time time Cejudo had lost gold, as his 2008 Olympic medal was claimed by the California wildfires last year.
