Henry Cejudo should get his opporunity at that FW belt.

[MartinGibson86]

No he didn't realistically. He "Defended" a Fly W belt he didn't win. He was gifted one of the biggest robberies in UFC title fight history.

Defending his BW belt is not the same thing as cherry picking an unranked rusty Cruz when Yan and Sterling were both available. Ducking #1 contenders as Champion is the only form of Ducking that Legit exists.

Cejudo didn't even defend his Olympic title so since they say you aren't a champion until you defend he isn't even an Olympic champion.

Salt levels dangerously high here.

Were you serious about the Olympics comment?

Cejudo can do whatever he wants

Cejudo wouldnt stand a chance against any big fw. Imagine cejudo fighting kz lol he would get knocked out cold

 

[Lethal_Striker]

Sure it's a wise idea to give someone a title shot in a division he's never fought at before while he also has a history of vacating titles....

No of course not (although this is Sherdog). I was being as hyperbolic as Cejudo. He has no reason to talk about FW when he never defended against a top contender. Everytime a new champ wins a belt immediate talk of fighting the champ above. Its flat out donkey talk.

Twas but a joke

He can't reach the peanut butter on the top shelf without a step ladder.

Here is a list of Henry’s featherweight wins:

 

[jeff7b9]

so you never wants superfights to happen?
imo someone who is champion in one division deserves a title shot when he moves up
i wouldnt want adesanya to beat bums at lhw if he moves up

yes but...


there should be a minimum of 3-4 title defenses before a guy gets a shot at a second belt.

These days (since Conor) every champ thinks they deserve to be champ champ and most of them are talking about a second belt before they even defend the first one.

Cejudo vs Volk would be a damn good fight.
