While becoming a two-division champion is an impressive feat, it comes with a lot of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at Tuesday&#8217;s Dominance MMA Media Day, Cejudo admitted that he&#8217;s feeling the strain of his obligation to defend two titles, and added that he knows he could have to vacate one of those belts eventually.<\/p>\n<p>If he had to pick, it sounds like he&#8217;d prefer to hang on to the bantamweight title, though he reminds that he does have unfinished business with top flyweight contender Joseph Benavidez.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SQZhPR\">\u201cThat\u2019s okay,\u201d Cejudo said about potentially vacating the flyweight belt (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/10\/9\/20905772\/morning-report-henry-cejudo-undecided-future-but-admits-the-bantamweight-division-is-more-appetizing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cEventually I do have to leave a belt. It\u2019s stressful having to hold up two weight divisions. I don\u2019t want that stress on me. So I am gonna have to choose and both weight classes. . . 135 seems more appetizing to be quite honest with you. There\u2019s just more color, you don\u2019t have to cut as much weight, but there is a loss on my record against Joe and that stings a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"1BmwIt\">\u201cObviously we\u2019ve got Joe [Benavidez] at 125 pounds and there\u2019s two guys that I would like to fight at 135 pounds,\u201d Cejudo added. \u201cDominick Cruz\u00a0and potentially\u00a0Frankie Edgar. I want another legend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The priority for Cejudo is getting paid. He&#8217;s seen what other two-division champions like Daniel Cormier make in the UFC, and he wants adequate remuneration before he returns.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OIKrti\">\u201cI think I have about a month left,\u201d Cejudo said, first updating on his injury. \u201cI think I have three to four weeks before I can start training so I imagine around the first week of November that I\u2019ll be 100 percent ready&#8230;<\/p>\n<p id=\"UDuP3x\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to make a decision \u2014 it sucks that I say that \u2014 until I\u2019m 100 percent healthy and I have a meeting with the UFC. I don\u2019t want to jump the gun not knowing what\u2019s on the table, like, what\u2019s gonna happen with Uncle Dana [White]. They\u2019ve taken care of me and whatnot but that\u2019s something that\u2019s huge to me. That means a lot to me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p id=\"vPqyop\">\u201cI\u2019ve got two belts. I know what Daniel makes. I don\u2019t want to get into it because it\u2019s a conversation I\u2019m gonna have to have with my boss and the organization. I\u2019m a legend man, and I\u2019ve got to start hitting those numbers like a legend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think is next for Henry Cejudo?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 10\/9\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henry Cejudo is currently the proud owner of the UFC men&#8217;s flyweight and bantamweight titles.
