The legacy of Henry Cejudo is set in stone as one of the handful of fighters to become double champ in UFC. His splendid resume boasting of a coveted Olympic gold medal and UFC world championship speaks volumes about his fighting acumen. However, the American fighter had humble beginnings and worked hard to make ends meet. The epitome of the American Dream, ‘Triple C’ was born to Mexican immigrants. He endured hardships and lived in poverty as his mother juggled jobs to keep the family afloat. However, determined to shape his destiny, the Los Angeles native took to wrestling and amassed fame and wealth due to his exploits on the mat.

Notably, the youngest American gold medalist in wrestling then transitioned to MMA and proved his mettle as he racked up accolades and titles. With the desire to hang up gloves while being at the top of his game, he retired from MMA in 2020. Since then, ‘The Messenger’ is trying his best to be a perfect husband and a caring father.

Who is ‘Triple C’s wife, Ana Karolina?

Henry Cejudo is married to the love of his life, Ana Karolina. Karolina was born on October 10 and hails from Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil. However, she currently lives with Cejudo and their lovely daughter in Arizona, USA.

Further, Karolina shares an ardent passion for environmentalism and environmental issues, as evidenced by her social media handles. Likewise, she earned her degree in Environmental Management from the State Univesity of Campinas, Sao Paulo.
