The “Triple C” is at it again! This time, Henry Cejudo has a really thoughtful piece of advice for Kamaru Usman. The rumors of a ‘super fight’ between Khamzat Chimaev and Kamaru Usman have every fan on the edge of their seats. Dana White’s reluctance in arranging the bout has aided in adding more fuel to the ongoing frenzy. Despite White’s disapproval, both fighters have exchanged multiple call-outs over social media. In a recent interview, Cejudo voiced his opinions on the ‘super fight,’ helping fans with some insightful statements.

With an Olympic gold medal in wrestling and a UFC championship in two weight divisions, Cejudo has cemented his legacy in the MMA world. But what advice does the Olympic medalist have in store for “The Nigerian Nightmare”? Let’s dive deeper into his conversation with YouTuber ‘The Schmo.’

‘Triple C’ gives the ultimate advice to Kamaru Usman ahead of potential bout against Khamzat Chimaev

In a recent interview with Triple C, ‘The Schmo’ invited the Olympian to share his thoughts on the potential bout between Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev. Cejudo offered a crucial piece of advice – rather a condition, for Usman to follow if he intends to reclaim the belt.

When probed about the situation, Cejudo expressed his reservations – particularly about the weight division. He believed that Usman should not take the fight at the 185-pound weight class. Cejudo clarified – “…not that I don’t have faith in Kamaru…I just – Khamzat’s a big[fighter]. To me, he’s even a big 85’ er!”

According to Cejudo, Chimaev was a big fighter, even for the 185-pound division. He offered a fair solution to this, suggesting the only condition in which Usman should take the fight. He proposed,

“Make them[Usman and Chimaev] go down to 170 – Like they could come down to 170 and let’s make it fair… the last thing you want to do is dabble and go up in weight divisions… I just don’t think that’s a smart move.”

In order to maximize Usman’s chances of winning the belt. He cautioned Usman against dabbling in weight divisions – calling it an ‘unwise move.’

However, Cejudo accepted that money is a huge motivation in a fighter’s decision-making process. Ultimately, it would depend on Usman’s motivation – money or the title. Adding further, he declared, “…if you[Usman] want to fight for the belt and win it again, you’ve got to give yourself the best probabilities… and make the exact weight in order for you to fight…

While Cejudo expressed his reservations, he recognized the individual choices that fighters make, considering both their financial goals and their competitive drive. It remains to be seen whether Kamaru Usman will take ‘Triple C’s advice to heart and consider the one condition before agreeing to a ‘super-fight’ against Khamzat Chimaev.
