Henry Cejudo sincerely appreciated Merab Dvalishvili, according to the former double UFC champion it is the Georgian who is the best fighter of the bantamweight category in the history of the UFC.

As a former Olympic champion and former UFC champion in the flyweight and bantamweight categories, Henry Cejudo knows the sport like few others. The popular Triple C has fought some of the biggest names in the up to 62 kilogram division. In his last appearance, Cejudo lost to Merab Dvalishvili after a unanimous judges’ decision.

Often in such cases it happens that fighters do not want to praise former rivals and reproach the judges for scoring. However, it is different with Cejudo, who appreciated the Georgian’s achievements. Henry Cejudo openly admitted that in his opinion Merab is the best bantamweight ever.

– He has. Yan, O’Malley, Cejudo, Umar, Moraes, Aldo. I mean he’s fought everybody, man. He’s beaten everyone in the division, you could say everyone at their best. He just knows how to do it. Merab is the best bantamweigth ever, or at least in my eyes.

Henry Cejudo stressed that the number of title defenses is not relevant here. According to the veteran, what matters is the list of names of fighters that Merab Dvalishvili has defeated.

– He has only one defense of the belt, but the names he has fought are big. Probably one of the top five resumes in the UFC at this point.

Henry Cejudo will return to action at the UFC gala in Seattle, where he will face Song Yadong. The former two-time champion of the world’s best MMA league will appear in the evening bout of the event, which takes place on February 22.
