When you talk about gimmicks two athletes in UFC are certainly leading the way successfully. Colby Covington and Henry Cejudo. While Covington is way too harsh while promoting a fight or playing the character, Cejudo has masterfully adapted to the Cringe “CCC” persona. Well, it seems Cejudo has been taking a few notes from Covington as we can see in his latest call-out video.

Henry Cejudo has been away from the sport due to injury ever since his title defense against Marlon Moraes. He holds two UFC titles that need to be defended. Although he has made up his mind to defend the bantamweight title he still has no official opponent to defend the bantamweight title. Well, it seems Cejudo has found the challenger as he calls him out in a quite fascinating manner.

“It feels good to have good hair. So upon my return, I really did want to fight Dominick Cruz. But, I thought about and he is too brittle. If I was to tell Dominick Cruz to bend the knee he’d pop his damn neck out. But, actually, I’m not here to talk about Dominick. I’m here to talk about Jose Waldo and I want to give him a clap for his last performance because a lot of people thought he won. I want to congratulate him because he is apart of the Henry Cejudo sweepstakes but it is under my terms. I want to fight him in my city. Rio de Janeiro. Daddy’s coming home. Dana White let’s sign that contract. Ahh and one last thing, your movie sucks,”

Jose Aldo made his bantamweight debut against Marlon Moraes at UFC 245. There were a lot of speculations going into the fight around how would Aldo perform at the new weight class. Aldo looked phenomenal against Moraes. Many fans even believe Aldo was a victim of bad decisions in his loss at UFC 245.

Apart from Aldo, there are potential super fights with Dominick Cruz and Frankie Edgar at bantamweight for Henry Cejudo. Hence it would be intriguing to see who does the CCC fight next.
