Henry Cejudo vs Jose Aldo

Cejudo is scheduled to put his UFC bantamweight title on the line against Jose Aldo on May 9. The bout will be the main event at UFC 250 set to be staged inside the Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The Olympian has not been in action since June 2019 when he stopped Marlon Moraes in the third round to capture the vacant title at UFC 238 in Chicago.

The victory put him in an exclusive list of fighters after Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes, to hold two UFC world titles at the same time.

“Jose Aldo, he’s another legend. I think, to me, when you’re able to add Demetrius Johnson, TJ Dillashaw and Jose Aldo – man, I’m covering everybody from flyweight to featherweight,” Cejudo reveals his plan to Raimondi.

“He’s gonna be the next to bend his knee to Triple C. The cabbage patch head is going down. You’re gonna kiss my feet, Jose Aldo.”

The matchup has been criticised at some quarters, pointing out that Aldo is coming off two defeats and has not held the title since 2017.

UFC president Dana White slammed those who criticised the matchup saying, “Then don’t watch it. People are full of s**t. It’s going to be an incredible fight.”
