Henry Cejudo’s Statement

In a recent interview with American media, Henry Cejudo said that having both the belts at the same time is stressful as he has to hold up in two weight divisions. Triple C said that he doesn't want that stress and is looking to vacate the title. 135 seems more appetising for him.
