Tonight Henry Cejudo won a fight over Demetrious Johnson that many people would say Johnson actually won and the belt was stolen from him by poor judging.
Many people could be rightfully making the claim that Mighty Mouse deserves an immediate rematch for 2 reasons, one is because it was a bad call from the judges and number 2 is because he was the undisputed champ for so long.
Well, Henry ended that talk quickly by calling out the BW champ for a fight at BW.
First, Henry punked MM by actually asking for a fight above his weight class when MM had been clamoring for a “money fight” against Dillashaw or Garbrandt at his FW weight. Even when it was accepted he chose not to fight them, choosing to duck them instead. Henry won the belt and immediately called for a super fight against whoever was BW champion, a weight class above his own. I think Cejudo lost tonight and would lose in the Rubber Match, so calling out the BW champ so his next fight wouldn’t be with Mighty Mouse was a brilliant plan. He looks like he has guts made it look like Mighty Mouse didn’t and protected his new belt at the same time.
Secondly, by calling for a super fight at a higher weightclass against an opponent he’s never faced will most likely happen denying MM the immediate rematch he would have most likely gotten and won, reclaiming his belt. Most fans would rather see Cejudo fight Dillashaw for the first time at BW than Cejudo fight Mighty Mouse for the 3rd time.
