UFC men’s flyweight and bantamweight champ Henry Cejudo has recently made joking callouts of several female UFC stars: flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko, bantamweight and featherweight champ Amanda Nunes, and top bantamweight contender Germaine de Randamie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Weili Zhang captured the UFC strawweight belt at UFC Shenzhen, she was asked how she’d respond if she became the latest woman to be called out by Cejudo.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know there is a fighter that challenged a lot of female fighters, Henry Cejudo. He calls himself \u2018Triple C\u2019, and he challenged Valentina Shevchenko. So do you have interest to fight him?\u201d a reporter asked Zhang at the UFC Shenzhen post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, he can fight with me.\u201d Zhang replied. \u201cBut first, he need to go to Thailand and become, well… get a sex change. Then, I will welcome him or her to the female division.\u201d<\/p>\n

It did not take long for Henry Cejudo to respond this comment from Zhang.<\/p>\n

Here’s what he had to say:<\/p>\n

Oh so you\u2019re a comedian now too, Weili? Well just let me know when you are ready for some real competition and you too can bend the knee to Triple C! #intergenderchamp<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/1ckqw54Yug<\/a><\/p>\n
