Henry Cejudo’s unquenchable thirst for gold has already led him to two UFC world titles to add the Olympic gold he won several years ago — but women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has warned him off pursuing her world championship.
Cejudo generated headlines this week when he highlighted Shevchenko’s recent win against Liz Carmouche and suggested that even she wasn’t safe, describing himself as the future “intergender world champion” in something of a unique video he posted to Twitter on Sunday.

Well, it didn’t take ‘Bullet’ too long to respond. In her own Twitter riposte, the 18-3 world champion posted a message of her hold a firearm and saying that she is looking for the UFC double champ. This, of course, set of a flurry of responses from ‘Triple C’.
