He’s generally not one to talk trash or play games, but [autotag]Jose Aldo[/autotag] may have outdone the “King of Cringe.”
After UFC bantamweight and flyweight champion [autotag]Henry Cejudo[/autotag] issued a challenge to Aldo, calling him out for a 135-pound title fight in his own city of Rio de Janeiro, Aldo has fired back.
Literally.
Aldo ripped off a few rounds from a machine gun before accepting the challenge – along with throwing a little bit of shade.
“I am the King of Rio and you are Snow White’s Security Guard! Sign the Contract and let’s get it right. @HenryCejudo @danawhite”

“Hasta la vista, baby!”
The former UFC featherweight king made the move down to 135-pounds at this past weekend’s UFC 245, taking on former UFC bantamweight title challenger Marlon Moraes. Ultimately, Aldo fell short on the judges’ scorecards, though it was a controversial split-decision loss that many thought he won – including UFC president Dana White.
Cejudo also though Aldo did enough to take home the win and diverted his attention away from his initial callout of former UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz. Now “Triple C” wants Aldo, despite the fact that he’s officially coming off a loss.
No surprise – it didn’t take long for Cejudo to respond back to Aldo, as the two continue to try and build a potential championship fight.
“Your going to need a bigger gun to take me out Cinderella! This man is made of steel and sex appeal! Bend the knee you Mexican looking Dana White!”
