Some have accomplished the lofty goal, while others have failed in their respective attempts.<\/p>\n<p>The likes of Amanda Nunes and Henry Cejudo currently hold two titles, while Daniel Cormier held the light heavyweight and heavyweight belts last summer.<\/p>\n<p>T.J. Dillashaw also tried to become a champ-champ in January of 2019, but failed in his attempt to dethrone flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.<\/p>\n<p>Why Dan Hardy believes \u2018Triple C\u2019 is the best champ-champ in UFC history is simple. He says who he had to beat to win the titles is better than anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to upset people with this. I\u2019m going to have to go with Henry Cejudo,\u201d Dan Hardy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b_qN835DAwY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said on his YouTube channel<\/a>. \u201cI know, I know, a lot of people are going to be annoyed about that. My argument is winning the first [flyweight] title against Demetrious Johnson was very impressive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then obviously his second one [against Moraes] was a big challenge as well. So I feel like he\u2019s had the two toughest tests. I think his competition level for the championship belts has been higher than anybody else so Henry Cejudo is my pick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henry Cejudo&#8217;s recent run is very impressive as Dan Hardy pointed out. He beat one of the best of all-time in Demetrious Johnson and then knocked out T.J. Dillashaw in just 32 seconds, which was followed by a knockout win over Marlon Moraes at UFC 238.<\/p>\n<p>The other champ-champ\u2019s could have a case themselves, but Dan Hardy believes it is Henry Cejudo due to his strength of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Dan Hardy that Henry Cejudo is the best ever champ-champ in the UFC&#8217;s history?
