Cejudo Shoots His Shot With WWE’s Nikki Bella

Riding high after stopping T.J. Dillashaw in less than a minute, UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo decided to use that momentum in getting a date with WWE and reality star, Nikki Bella.

While a guest on the Ariel Helwani MMA Show, Cejudo told Helwani that he was on a flight with Bella and has a massive crush on the former WWE Divas Champion.

Dear Nikki Bella of the @BellaTwins. My friend @HenryCejudo, Olympic Gold Medalist and UFC flyweight savior, would like to get to know you, like, more than a friend. ❤️❤️❤️

Whaddya say??

Bella, who up until last year was engaged to fellow WWE star John Cena, was not only flattered by the statement made by Cejudo, she decided to respond to the flyweight king via Helwani.

Oh my word.@HenryCejudo: I hope you’re sitting down.

Nikki Bella of The @BellaTwins saw your interview on my show yesterday and sent you this! First you save the flyweights and now this?! What a time to be Henry Cejudo.

Cejudo would respond Tuesday afternoon, as both continue to play Twitter tag with Helwani being the intermediary.

Ok, business is really picking up here. Ol’ flyweight savior, the Olympic Gold medalist @HenryCejudo has responded to Nikki Bella (@BellaTwins) and is out here just shooting shots. (He’s playing it cool. He was freaking earlier). Incredible magic going on here. #HelwaniShow ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ZRa9a0sxmo
