Morning Report: Henry Cejudo’s coach says the new champ-champ could move up to 145 pounds by end of year

On Saturday night, Henry Cejudo became only the fourth champ-champ in UFC history, stopping Marlon Moraes to claim the bantamweight title to go along side his flyweight belt and his Olympic gold medal. The win immediately vaulted Cejudo to the upper echelon of the pound-for-pound list and gave at least some credence to his claim of being the greatest combat sport athlete of all time.

But what is next for “The Triple C”? What do you get the man who has everything? More money apparently.

After the fight, Cejudo made it clear that he deserves a raise for his nearly unprecedented success, calling himself “the face of the UFC,” and demanding to get paid.
