Henry Cejudo recently weighed in on a potential superfight between WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou.

During a recent episode of The Triple C & Schmo Show, the former two-division UFC champion discussed certain stipulations that he believes would produce a level playing field for both athletes, should they meet for a blockbuster bout. Here's what 'Triple C' said:

"The gloves and the clinch, I think if you're able to clinch, I think exactly what Triad is doing - change the gloves, make the gloves little smaller, be able to clinch and do all that. And I think that's the way you make it fair. I don't think it should be a cage nor a ring, I don't think it should be boxing gloves nor MMA gloves, I think you make it as even as you possibly can and that's how you create a whole new sport."

The UFC heavyweight champion is also in the middle of an ongoing dispute with the promotion. Ngannou, whose UFC contract is set to expire in December this year, has been seeking freedom to box along with a bump in pay.

While Ngannou's future with the UFC remains uncertain, he will sit on the sidelines for the remainder of 2022 after undergoing an ACL knee reconstruction and an MCL repair last month.
