Harry Kettle - January 6, 2020

Jose Aldo has issued an amusing response to UFC Bantamweight Champion Henry Cejudo as talks of a fight between the two men continue. The King of Cringe, better known as Henry Cejudo, looks set to focus all of his attention on the bantamweight division after being stripped of his flyweight crown due to inactivity. With that in mind, it certainly appears as if he has a list as long as his arm regarding challengers that could go after the belt.
