In the tail-end of his UFC career Olympic gold medallist Henry Cejudo did what only three other fighters have mustered in the sport—held two consecutive UFC titles. Cejudo joined the ranks of Amanda Nunes, Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier when he beat Marlon Moraes to clinch the vacant UFC bantamweight title in 2019.
At that time Cejudo was already the UFC flyweight champion, having defeated Demetrious Johnson a year prior. Cejudo defended his bantamweight title, against Dominick Cruz, in 2020 and then announced his retirement from the sport.
Since then ‘Triple-C’ has been active online calling out a number of fighters, including UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and interim UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan, and claiming that he wants back into the Octagon.
