The Origin Of Henry Cejudo Nickname Triple C

Alright, let's chat about Henry Cejudo, or as he likes to call himself, "Triple C." Man, where do I even start with this guy?

You know those friends who are always doing the most? That's Cejudo in a nutshell. This dude's got more nicknames than a high school yearbook, but "Triple C" is the one that really stuck.

So here's the deal: Back in 2008, Cejudo's just a scrappy 21-year-old from Phoenix. Next thing you know, he's standing on the Olympic podium with a gold medal around his neck. For wrestling! At 21! I was still trying to figure out how to do laundry at that age.

Fast forward a decade, and Cejudo's traded in the wrestling mat for the octagon. In 2018, he does the unthinkable - he beats Demetrious Johnson for the UFC Flyweight title. Now, if you don't follow MMA, just know this: beating "Mighty Mouse" Johnson was like beating the final boss in a video game with your eyes closed.

But Cejudo? He's just getting started. A year later, he moves up a weight class and snags the Bantamweight belt too. That's when he drops the "Triple C" bomb on us.

"It stands for Champ-Champ-Champ," he says, grinning like he just won the lottery. And honestly? Fair play to him. Olympic champ, two-division UFC champ - the math checks out.

Now, here's where it gets wild. Cejudo doesn't just use this nickname - he becomes it. He starts calling himself the "King of Cringe," leaning into all these corny jokes and over-the-top antics. It's like watching your dorky little brother try to be cool at a party, but somehow, it works.

But here's the thing - Cejudo lost some of those titles. After his comeback fight against Aljamain Sterling in 2023 didn't go his way, people started asking: Can he still call himself "Triple C"?

You know what, though? I don't think Cejudo gives a damn. As of now, in 2025, he's still out there, still grinding, still talking smack like it's going out of style. Because for him, "Triple C" isn't just about the belts - it's about the audacity to dream big and back it up.

So why is Henry Cejudo called "Triple C"? On paper, it's about those three big wins. But if you ask me, it's really about this 5'4" ball of energy who decided he was gonna be great at everything he tried. It's about a kid who went from sleeping in cars to sleeping with gold medals. It's about never shutting up, never backing down, and never, ever being boring.

Love him or hate him (and believe me, plenty of people do both), you gotta admit - Henry "Triple C" Cejudo has made his mark. And who knows? Maybe he's got another "C" up his sleeve. With this guy, anything's possible. Just don't expect him to be quiet about it.
