Needless to say, Cejudo is looking at a title shot at the featherweight division. Cejudo has called out Alexander Volkanovski on multiple occasions.
Should Cejudo get an opportunity to fight for the title and triumph over the Australian fighter, he will become the first fighter to hold championship belts across 3 divisions.
