UFC 227’s Henry Cejudo wants to cement legacy by becoming ‘triple champ’

Henry Cejudo has only just won the flyweight title, but the newly-crowned champion is already interested in moving up a weight class to challenge reigning bantamweight titleholder T.J. Dillashaw in a ‘superfight’.

Cejudo, who became the first man to dethrone pound-for-pound great Demetrious Johnson, called out Dillashaw in the UFC 227 post-fight interview and told reporters at the post-fight press conference that his goal is to become a ‘triple champ’.

The 31-year-old already has an Olympic gold medal to his name, and now, after winning the UFC flyweight title, ‘The Messenger’ is determined to become a two-division champ in MMA’s premiere promotion.
