It is not only Song Yadong on Henry Cejudo's hit list this weekend, but a clique of controversial influencers who rub 'Triple-C' in the wrong way at UFC 276.
Cejudo is fighting to keep his place in the Bantamweight Elite while on 22 February he will take on Bogeyman number Yadong in the UFC Seattle main event. Now that it seems as if UFC Double champions are among the past, Cejudo is a dying breed, pioneer in the name with double camp by simultaneously defending titles in two divisions.
Despite his praises in the Olympic Games and the UFC, Cejudo was prevented by full shipping after his viral interaction with Sean O'Malley Backstage on UFC 276.
“Is that Henry?” Nelk member Stephen Deleonardis noted Backstage at UFC 276. “Is his name Henry? Yo Henry, you are AB —. “
Cejudo has not forgotten the interaction.

'I take them all out' … Henry Cejudo warns 'Silver Spoon' Nelk Boys
Speaking with full broadcast of his fight in UFC Seattle, Cejudo warned the Nelk boys not to replicate what happened on UFC 276.
“First of all, what makes the Nelk boys famous?” Noticed. “I still try to sort that out; They are a bunch of small rich children silver spoon Little C —. . . . They are lucky that they have Uncle Dana [White] And a part of that team to protect them … I will take them all out … “
Despite the waste interview, 'Triple-C' has a long task for him in Song Yadong. With a defeat, Cejudo will have lost three in a row and will demonstrably have no other chance to find another UFC title.
Henry Cejudo makes one last title run in UFC Seattle
Former lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov champion gave Cejudo a pep talk about how you could win another UFC title in December 2024. 'De Eagle' went on top with a record of 29-0, but sees a route for Cejudo to reclaim UFC Gold.
In an interview with Nurmagomedov on his YouTube channel, Cejudo received healthy advice from the former champion.
“Do you know what you need?” Nurmagomedov told Cejudo. “A first fight on 135 pounds and then you go [down to flyweight]First of all, it should be to bring your body back and if you win that fight, don't try to last long [away]Don't take a vacation.
“If you fight in February, okay, then you just leave, and then you jump into the training camp and you fight in the International Vechtweek for the title – can you imagine that you will return and win at 125?”
With UFC Seattle on February 22, Cejudo seems to include Nurmagomedov's advice. Cejudo, however, has to deal with fierce competition in bantam weight and the fact that he is a aging hunter at the age of 38.
