Daniel Cormier has given his thoughts on Henry Cejudo’s potential shot at becoming the UFC’s first ever three-weight champion.<\/p>\n

There are a handful of fighters who have been able to call themselves two-weight world champions in the UFC and even fewer who have held the two belts at the same time. Cormier and Cejudo both fall into the latter of those categories, but neither has been able to turn the two straps into three.<\/p>\n
