Henry Cejudo Walks Around at 150 lbs

[ReadWrite]

“Dana can say what he wants, and he’s the president and what not, but when you own two weight classes, when you have some kingdoms, I think I have the leverage,” Cejudo said on Brendan Schaub on the “Food Truck Diaries,” (via MMA Junkie). “No one’s going to force me to fight someone that I don’t want.

“Cutting weight is hard for me, man. Making 125 is hard. My debut in the UFC, I didn’t make weight. I didn’t make weight a few times in my fighting career trying to make 125.”

If he does stay at bantamweight, he has two fighters in mind, and they are Frankie Edgar and Dominick Cruz. Even though Benavidez has a win over him, Cejudo says the weight cut is not worth it for him, so he believes his career will end at bantamweight.

“I like Frankie Edgar. I like the Dominick Cruz right now,” Cejudo said. “That’s what’s jumping at me. As much as Joe does have a victory over me … but at the end of the day, it’s cutting the weight, man – especially being up at 135 and then feeling good, and having a good camp, and just being more happy. . . . I cut 25 lbs to get down to 125.

He will never fight at 125 again

 

[Clenelo]

Even though Benavidez has a win over him, Cejudo says the weight cut is not worth it for him, so he believes his career will end at bantamweight.

So he's refusing to defend his 125 title

The UFC should strip this dude immediately and make Benavidez - Figueiredo for the title.

 

[GSP Rush]

Should drop the title then if he's not gonna defend it at Flyweight, it's just holding everyone up in the division with nothing to compete for.

I wanted to see the Benavidez fight too.

 

[DanAndroid]

Cut all divisions under 185

 

[El Fernas]

Logic, cut gets harder, its what boxers have done since forever, title will be vacated when needed, just like Conor's FW belt.

 

[Reydereyes]

Cejudo is so much better than people give him credit for. In a few years he will be one of the goats.

 

[froggyluv]

Thats truge!!

 

[maxi diablo]

He's still a small bantamweight. If only they had a 130lb division lol.

 

[PicoPulse]

Cut all divisions under 185

Make every division 185

25 pounds from the start of camp isnt that bad...

For 6 week camp thats only 4 pounds each week and thats not including weight cut...which could be as much as 10 to 15 pounds.. So really needs to lose like 10 pounds before cutting

Your telling me this olympic wrestler and mma champion cant lose 10 pounds over 6 weeks+...then cut the rest?

I smell some diet issues...burritos anyone?

Also...weight cutting is stupid, ill never cut more then 10 pounds for a fight..anything above that u start taking too much out of the body before the fight..

If he doesnt want to be disciplined ..then vacate the 125 lbs belt...tired of champions holding up the division

 

[MrCoffee]

Those fat midget fingers.

Cejudo is so much better than people give him credit for. In a few years he will be one of the goats.

I mean, like 8.5 out of every 10 humans on Earth picked Marlon to beat him, so yeah, he's definitely better than we give him credit for.

 

[Huligani]

Henry Cejudo was dubbed the savior of the 125 lb division except he's going to kill it anyway, which is fine by me.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

So he's refusing to defend his 125 title

The UFC should strip this dude immediately and make Benavidez - Figueiredo for the title.

If they keep the division. I feel like they cut 90% of the talent, now cejudo is going to abandon it?

That’s a title fight that I’m not even sure deserves to be on a main card at this point.

 

[blaseblah]

So much for saving the flyweight division

 

[Chubi]

They should have strip him the FLW belt as soon as he got the BW one. At least GSP didn't put the MW division on hold for a year.

 

[Joohnmatrix]

I literally have shits that size.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I think I have the leverage

LOL

Lol, talks about owning 2 divisions as leverage...Dana owns all divisions.

 

[cauti0n]

Well then why don't you slim down in off season. Change the diet and make the cut easier by not being so heavy.
