Henry Cejudo hasn’t given up on fighting Jose Aldo . Cejudo (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), the UFC bantamweight champion, originally was scheduled to face Aldo on May 9 before travel ban restrictions in Brazil forced Aldo out, and he was replaced by Dominick Cruz. According to his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, Cejudo let the UFC know that, after Cruz, he wants Aldo. Abdelaziz also revealed that Frankie Edgar was actually Cejudo’s No. 1 choice, but he likely wouldn’t have had enough time to cut down to 135 pounds. Despite the heavy criticism on Cejudo’s choice of opponents, Abdelaziz says, considering the accolades of these former champions, they all make for worthy opponents.
