Demetrious Johnson revealed the toughest test his new training partner Henry Cejudo could face. On August 26, Demetrious Johnson will face the flyweight king Adriano Moraes – his toughest test in MMA. ONE Championship has set the biggest rematch in the promotion’s history, for their US prime-time debut, at ONE 161.

To prepare for ‘Mikinho’, the 12-time MMA world champion has partnered with a familiar foe – Henry Cejudo. ‘The Messenger’ is also prepping for his return to MMA, after retiring from the sport back in 2020.

These two American fought twice and are 1-1 in their dual. Thus, they understand each other’s game. In an interview with an MMA reporter The Schmo, ‘Mighty’ talked about the toughest matchup The Messenger will have when he comes out of retirement.

“I think Volkanovski would be his toughest test because I think it would be his mirror image. Volkanovski understands the game. He’s tough; He’s gritty, and he’s gonna come to compete,” the 35-year-old said.

Alexander Volkanovski is the current featherweight champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), American MMA promotion. Cejudo has taken shots at the Australian champion in the past. However, all this time, the former dual UFC champion (flyweight and bantamweight) was retired from the sport.

However, not so long ago, the news came out that Triple C will end his retirement to return to active competition. However, there’s been no details about his weight category.

Anyhow, training alongside MMA GOAT will sharpen Cejudo’s skill for his next bout and one could say the same about Mighty.

And even though Cejudo, later on, defeated Johnson, it was splitting hairs from the judges. Since the Arizona-based fighter has been calling out everyone on his mind, the ONE flyweight Grand Prix winner jokingly offered who Cejudo is afraid of.

The AMC Pankration standout said, “You know who he hasn’t called out, your boy right here. He knows better to call me the f*** out.” However, he revealed, “No, I’m playing.”
