It appears as though a UFC Champion has the hots for a familiar face to WWE fans.
UFC Flyweight Champion and former Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo has taken to social media to try and convince WWE mega-star and Total Bellas star Nikki Bella to go out on a date with him.
During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani for ESPN, Cejudo admitted having a crush on Bella after meeting her on a flight.
“Nikki Bella’s been like my biggest crush,” Cejudo told Helwani on Monday. “I was sitting next to her and I’m thinking ‘how am I going to approach this?’
After catching wind of Cejudo’s comments, Nikki acknowledged him in a tweet shared on her official Twitter page.
“”What up Henry? So, I just saw your interview on Ariel’s podcast, and I’m well. Thank you very much,” said Nikki.
“First of all, congrats on your really big win. I would like to think that maybe possibly I was a good luck charm – meeting you on the flight. I’m hoping maybe one day in Arizona you can train me before I get back into the ring because I think you have a few moves you can show me that I can really take it to the women, and, hey, I know you’re cutting weight and all but maybe one day we could grab a drink or I should send you a bottle of Belle Radici wine for your victory. So, I’ll do that and again, congrats on your big victory. That was amazing.”
