Henry Cejudo has taken aim at fellow Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison’s fighting style.
When asked by a fan on Twitter if she’s the next “Triple C,” Olympic gold medalist judoka and PFL lightweight champion Harrison, responded by poking fun at UFC bantamweight champ Cejudo’s accolades.
“Yes. Technically I have four titles bc I won worlds in 2010. Did Henry win worlds I can’t remember… @HenryCejudo”
And naturally, Cejudo told the undefeated Harrison to “bend the knee,” in which she proceeded to cleverly fire back at him.
“I’d tell you to bend the knee but you’re already so close to the ground… a polite judo bow will suffice. #QueenK #CeJUDOknows”
But Cejudo got the last laugh, at least for now, telling Harrison, who went five rounds with Larissa Pacheco in the final of the 2019 PFL women’s lightweight season, that her fights are boring.
“First of all one Wrestling Olympic gold medal is like 5 Olympic judo gold medals. One last thing, your fights are good natural remedies to cure insomnia. #bendtheknee”
While he may still have his Olympic gold medal in wrestling, Cejudo recently relinquished his UFC flyweight title, taking away his literal “Triple C.”
