Christmas cringe: UFC champ Henry Cejudo has holiday message for the ‘filthy animals’

Christmas or not, Henry Cejudo takes no days off from being the “King of Cringe.”

With the year coming to a close, the UFC bantamweight champion Cejudo (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) is making a push for “Fighter of the Year” after a 2019 run that saw him win title fights in both the flyweight and bantamweight divisions.

It was only a two-fight schedule for Cejudo, but he made big waves in defending the flyweight belt against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC on ESPN+ 1 in January and capturing the vacant 135-pound belt against Marlon Moraes at UFC 238 in June.

Although he ended up relinquishing 125-pound gold before the year is out, Cejudo wanted to remind the “filthy animals” in the MMA world that he deserves that spot – in a festive manner, though, of course.

Check out the Christmas message “Triple C” sent to MMA Junkie in the video above.
