The most accomplished combat athlete of this generation, Henry Cejudo has been running wild with the intergender championship title. He has been calling out all the champions from UFC women’s division such as Valentina Shevchenko and Amanda Nunes. Cejudo also called out Zhang Weili ahead of her match against Jessica Andrade.

After her monumental win in Shenzhen, Zhang Weili finally responded to Cejudo’s callouts to the women champions and said:

“Yes, he can fight with me.” Zhang said. “But first, he needs to go to Thailand and become, well get a sex change. Then, I will welcome him or her to the female division.”

Then, it was the turn of the King of Cringe to respond, and he sure did. A few moments earlier, Cejudo replied to the first Chinese UFC champion: “Well just let me know when you (Zhang Weili) ready for some real competition and you too can bend the knee to Triple C!”

This new inter gender championship that Cejudo started has become an inner joke among the UFC fighters. All the women fighters are jumping on the wagon to join Cejudo in the gimmick very sportingly. Even two-time Olympic gold medalist, Kyla Harrison called out Henry Cejudo a few days ago.

Earlier Zhang Weili knocked out Andrade in 42 seconds to become the first Chines UFC champion, creating history. It’s likely for the new straw weight champion to fight the former champion, Rose Namajunas next.

However, it seems Henry Cejudo has his eyes on Women’s straw weight title too.
