An ex-UFC champion says gymnast Simone Biles could really use some tough love and that includes a kick in the backside too.
Henry Cejudo who is famous for winning 16 out of 18 medals throughout his steller MMA fighting career added how he is strongly rooting for a Simone Biles comeback. And he believes it is very much possible. However, the way he recently threw shade on the striking gymnast who hails from the USA was clearly noticed by plenty.
Henry who is a champion in the fields of bantamweight as well as flyweight is not the first to criticize Simone who opted to back out from her team’s final event, citing mental health issues and concerns.
Winning plenty of gold medals in the past, Cejudo holds the strong opinion that Simone Biles needs a strong kick in the arse with plenty of tough love because she opted to withdraw from the competition.point 285 |

The former UFC star also went as far as mentioning that if Simone Biles was his sister, he would certainly give her just that. The statement was reiterated by claiming, “I would never say something about someone if I didn’t do the same thing for one of my own personal family members,” he explained.
In the same way, Henry says that he knows exactly what it feels like to perform under pressure on one of the world’s most grand stages.
“Many critics believed that the media is the one who put her in this position and added the immense pressure.point 327 |
But I feel that’s far from the truth.point 36 | Yes, they gave her limelight and fame, more like a platform.point 86 | If you begin to think you are the GOAT and the greatest athlete of all time, then that’s solely your fault,” he concluded.point 198 | 1
