Henry Cejudo says he is the reason Jose Aldo shot has a title shot
In a chat with Joe Rogan on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, ‘Triple C’ said, “It’s really my fault. It’s my fault that Jose Aldo is fighting for the belt because that’s who I was originally supposed to fight with Dominick. But, this whole COVID thing happened, so Aldo was gonna fight for the title.

I’d be happy if Marlon fought Petr Yan or I’d be happy if Aldo fought him.” He even adds that a Moraes- Aldo rematch would excite him. “There’s great fights in that division,” concludes Rogan.
