When it comes to the legacy of an MMA fighter, the primary criterion remains the number of titles the fighter held during his active career. Regardless of talent and skill, many fighters are not lucky enough and end up in their career without winning any major titles. Then very few are like Conor McGregor and Henry Cejudo, who can boast the claim to win simultaneous two-different weight division titles.
