Less than ten days after a career-defining 32-second knockout of TJ Dillashaw, UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo took to social media…to give his teammate the spotlight.
Alongside coach Eric Albarracin, Cejudo stood proudly as a video played, announcing that bantamweight Bruno “Bulldog” Silva was now a UFC fighter. Hugs and slaps on the back followed, witnessed by thousands of the champion’s Twitter followers.
“Man, it was very, very special,” said Silva. “You know how it works, we’ve been training our whole lives for that moment. It was a big time. We had a party, but I was thinking about going straight to the gym.
