Henry Cejudo Wants Alexander Volkanovski Title Fight; Would Be 3rd UFC Division Title

Henry Cejudo is coming back to the UFC with one goal in mind: to become the first three-division champion in the sport's history.

He'll just have to make a pitstop back at his old bantamweight stomping grounds on his way to taking on featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

"That's the only reason why I'm even going down to 135 pounds," Cejudo said of his quest for featherweight gold, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN. "These dudes are not on my level—none of those dudes are at my level. And they all know it. So if I have to go down to 135 pounds [and win back] my belt to challenge Alexander Volkanovski, that's what I have to do.
