Retired UFC fighter Henry Cejudo made history in June 2019 when he defeated Marlon Moraes at UFC 238 to capture the vacant UFC Bantamweight Championship. Already the reigning Flyweight Champion, Cejudo made history by becoming the fourth fighter to hold championships simultaneously in separate weight divisions.

Cejudo defeated Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 to retain the UFC Bantamweight Championship in May 2020. After the fight, Cejudo announced his retirement from professional fighting.

Just weeks later, Henry Cejudo accompanied boxing legend 'Iron' Mike Tyson in his brawl with Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle on AEW Dynamite.

Nunes currently holds both the UFC Women's Bantamweight and UFC Women's Featherweight titles simultaneously. She made history when she became the first woman in UFC history to win two championships in separate divisions and hold them at the same time.

Amanda Nunes is also the first fighter in UFC history to actively defend championships in two separate divisions whilst holding them simultaneously.

Nunes, along with the aforementioned Jorge Masvidal, accompanied American Top Team founder and owner Dan Lambert on the AEW Dynamite: Road Rager episode on TNT in July.
