Let’s get one thing straight: Henry Cejudo is a bona fide combat sports champion. An Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling and two UFC champion belts are hugely impressive feats, especially when all three came in three different weight classes.

Never one to shy away from blowing his own trumpet, Cejudo has since invented and bestowed upon himself the new nickname ‘Triple C’, with each of the three Cs standing for ‘champion’ of the Olympic Games and the UFC’s bantamweight and featherweight divisions.

But after the LA-native called out pound for pound boxing supremo Vasyl Lomachenko following ex-UFC fighter Artem Lobov’s bare knuckle defeat of Paulie Malignaggi on Saturday, it should clearly stand for ‘clueless, confused and cringeworthy’.

After Lobov’s razor-thin decision win over former two-weight world Malignaggi in an ill-tempered grudge match under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner, Cejudo goaded the Ukrainian by asking fans what they think “an Olympic & UFC champ champ” would do to Lomachenko.

Thankfully, the fan reaction has mirrored the almost-incredulous chuckling response from Lomachenko, who swiftly posted the aftermath of his chilling KO of gutsy Brit Anthony Crolla in his last fight as his own personal prediction of how matters would unfold.
