The former Olympian provided a deep dive into his resume that has earned him the status as one of the best. Cejudo rattled off some of the biggest names he’s scalped in his career to illustrate his point. Chiefly, it’s hard to argue with the facts when Henry Cejudo places his optics in such a direct manner.

I wish there was a Demetrious Johnson there so there could be something for me to look forward to. Think about it, An Olympic Gold medal, two UFC belts, I beat three Hall of Famers man to receive and defend my three belts, Demetrious Johnson, TJ Dillashaw, and Dominick Cruz.”

“Who is the greatest ‘champ champ’? Please don’t tell me it’s Conor, please. What I’m saying is I’m fully satisfied with my career. There’s no chip on my shoulder. These belts will always be my baby.”

While a comeback isn’t on the cards immediately, fans can expect to see Henry Cejudo make a return in short order.
