In the main event of UFC 238, Henry Cejudo has a chance to become a champ-champ. He is the reigning flyweight champion, and after knocking out T.J. Dillashaw<\/a>, the Olympic gold medalist is moving up in weight to take on Marlon Moraes for the vacant bantamweight title<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If Cejudo can become a champ-champ, he believes he will be the best pound-for-pound fighter.<\/p>\n

“First and foremost guys. You guys are acting a little shy. I would like to start off by, I’ve been called some nasty things in my life and I’m sick of it. I’ve been called a gold digger, I’ve been called a son of a gold, I’ve been called an Olympic champion, UFC champion, Hall of Famer, author, dreamcatcher, dream snatcher, G.O.A.T. killer, the king of cringe, greatest combat athlete of all-time. But, never have I been called the ‘P’ word and I’m sick of it,” Cejudo said at his media luncheon<\/a>. “On June 8 that’s all going to change. I will be the next pound-for-pound king. You can tell Daniel Cormier, you can tell Jon Jones, you can tell Khabib Nurmagomedov there is a new sheriff in town. His name is Henry Cejudo and guess what Dana White if you are watching, he happens to be a flyweight<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Not only does Henry Cejudo think he would be the best pound-for-pound fighter, but he says he would be the greatest comeback fighter of all-time, as well. He went from being knocked out by Demetrious Johnson, to coming back and beating the considered unbeatable \u2019Mighty Mouse\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, he knocked out the reigning bantamweight champion, at the time, T.J. Dillashaw\u00a0in just 26 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cFind the greatest comeback athlete of all time \u2013 I believe that\u2019s me,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I believe fighting for this second belt, I\u2019m going to cement it even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you agree with Henry Cejudo that he would be the best pound-for-pound fighter with a win over Marlon Moraes at UFC 238? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
