Henry Cejudo has named 5 athletes who’ve made into his Mount Rushmore of greatest fighters of all time
Henry Cejudo has had an illustrious career in combat sports. The Olympic gold medalist and former two-division UFC champion is well received as one of the greatest of all time.
Having made a name for himself thanks to his spectacular accolades, ‘Triple C’ has named 5 UFC fighters that are in his opinion worthy of being in the ‘GOAT’ conversation. After defeating the dominant Demetrious Johnson for the 125 lbs. title, Cejudo went on to win the 135 lbs. title just 10 months later.
In a recent podcast with the Schmo, Henry named himself alongside four great fighters and omitted Khabib from the list.
Although there seems to be no real threat to Adesanya’s reign, former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo has identified Khamzat Chimaev as a menace that can dethrone the middleweight champion.
Khamzat earlier responded to Adesanya’s performance at UFC 271 arguing that he is an easy money fight for him.
Reacting to his tweet on the ‘The Triple C and the Schmo Show’, Cejudo said “I love Chimaev man. I don’t want him to fight my boy ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ [Kamaru Usman, UFC Welterweight Champion] but I would love for him to go out and really demonstrate people how it’s supposed to be done with the wrestling, you know what I mean. I think Chimaev is special I think he’s proven a dude and you know he’s the biggest threat right now, he’s the hottest prospect, he’s the hottest contender to become the next UFC champ,” Cejudo concluded.
Khamzat Chimaev has emerged with some crazy statistics in his first four fights inside the UFC octagon. Having competed in both welterweight and middleweight divisions, MMA fans and analysts have tipped him to be the only fighter who can derail the championship run of the UFC welterweight and middleweight champions.
