Henry Cejudo talks ‘stressful’ two-division UFC title reign: 135 is ‘more appetizing to me’

Since he won the UFC bantamweight title in June, Henry Cejudo has been basking in the limelight of being a two-division champion. “The Messenger” had since called out female champions and former titleholders to “bend the knee to Triple C.”

But in a recent interview with ESPN, Cejudo admitted how “stressful” it is to hold and defend two titles.

“It’s stressful having to hold up two divisions,” Cejudo told Brett Okamoto during Tuesday’s Dominance MMA press event. “I don’t want that stress on me. So I am gonna have to choose.”

Being the champion of both the 125 and 135-pound divisions, Cejudo does have an inkling of which weight class he prefers.
