“If Amanda Nunes wants to get it too? Valentina [Shevchenko]? I’m calling you guys out too. I take no prisoners.”
Amanda Nunes may have cleared out the women’s bantamweight and featherweight divisions, but what about the men’s weight class?
From one UFC two-division champ to another, Henry ‘The Messenger’ Cejudo has called out ‘The Lioness’ for a superfight, and it’s difficult to tell whether or not he’s joking.
Cejudo, the reigning flyweight and bantamweight titleholder, also called out women’s flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko, claiming he’s taking ‘no prisoners’ now that he’s king of not one, but two, UFC divisions.
“If Amanda Nunes wants to get it too? Valentina [Shevchenko]? I’m calling you guys out too. I take no prisoners,” Cejudo said in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
The Olympic gold medallist then went on to tease of a champ vs. champ superfight against Max Holloway, who is scheduled to defend his 145-pound title against MMA veteran Frankie Edgar at UFC 240 on July 27.
“The fight would have to be so strategic,” Cejudo says … “But, he can get it too, man!” Cejudo said of Holloway.
Cejudo, 32, last fought at UFC 238 where he earned a technical knockout victory over Marlon Moraes to capture the vacant bantamweight title. Cejudo injured his shoulder during the bout and is expected to be out of action until 2020 due to surgery.
