Henry Cejudo held two UFC division belts at the same time but cannot see Conor McGregor being greater than him
UFC 259 saw one big fallout from the event as Israel Adesanya failed to create history. The Middleweight Champion faced Jan Blachowicz for the Light Heavyweight title, and was trying to become a double champion.
This has only been achieved by a handful of people and even fewer have held both titles at the same time.
Adesanya was trying to become the first Middleweight to achieve this feat. However, he came up short. That wasn’t a problem for the Last Stylebender as there is no glory without taking a risk.
He still remains one of the greatest MMA fighters of all-time but the question about the greatest champ-champ still remains.
Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names to have achieved that but he doesn’t have any belts now. Amanda Nunes is possibly the greatest female combat athlete of all-time and she is defending two belts and dominating her rivals.
However, Henry Cejudo wasn’t happy with some fans claiming that McGregor is the best. Triple C, who is also an Olympic Gold medallist slammed McGregor and he brought up his list of achievements too:
“Me that’s who! I beat 3 future hall of famers. DJ, TJ and Dominique Cruz. But let me guess @TheNotoriousMMA is better! You casuals make me sick!.”
Dominick Cruz, Demetrious Johnson and TJ Dillashaw are some of the greats Cejudo has beaten.
This isn’t the first time Cejudo has called out Nunes either. He slammed the GOAT earlier in a tweet too.
Henry Cejudo making his case for being the best ever
There is no doubt that Cejudo remains one of the best to have graced combat sports. His Olympic achievements are great but then winning two division titles in the UFC is incredible too.
Cejudo held the Bantamweight and the Flyweight titles but gave it all up and retired. It seems he was upset over the finances offered to him, however, he has slammed all those who are in his Bantamweight division.
Cejudo also shared his thoughts on the controversial title fight between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling at UFC 249.
Yan used an illegal knee on Sterling and saw his title being handed to Sterling. Cejudo claimed he could defeat the pair on the same night, and it is to be seen if Triple C does make a return to the UFC.
