Henry Cejudo is feeling himself after stopping TJ Dillashaw in 32-seconds at UFC on ESPN+ 1.
Appearing on Ariel Helwani's MMA show, Cejudo discussed running into the Bella Twins on a plane prior to the fight and how he used his niece to talk to her.
"Nikki Bella has been my biggest crush so when she was sitting next to me, I was like, [Freaking out] 'How am I gonna approach this?' Then I thought, my little niece is nine years old and she loves the Bella Twins. She was Nikki Bella for Halloween and had a Bella birthday theme. I approach them and was like, 'Can you give my niece a shoutout?' She was super nice. I’m single, trilingual and ready to mingle"
