In a public Dominance MMA media Interview, Cejudo was asked about the future of his run as Flyweight Champion by ESPN and potentially vacating one belt. Cejudo gave a very interesting and detailed response.
“Eventually I do have to leave a belt”
When asked by ESPN about his future as a champion of two divisions, Cejudo admitted that eventually, he has to leave one belt. He continued, saying (H/T Credits MMAMania):
He said that the lesser weight cut and having more “color” makes the Bantamweight division more appealing, but he hasn’t denied that his loss to #1 Flyweight Contender Joseph Benavidez “stings” a little.
However, he also revealed that he’s willing to take a break from the sport if he isn’t paid like a legend:
While this is likely an empty threat from Cejudo, we will, in all likeliness, either see him face Benavidez and vacate the title if he wins, or he’ll jump straight back in the Bantamweight shark tank. Which is a better move for Cejudo? Voice your thoughts in the comments below!
