Demetrious Johnson will next defend his title against Henry Cejudo, a man who is undefeated in the Octagon and although Johnson believes he is deserving of the title fight, hasn’t exactly been impressed by his opponent yet:
Henry Cejudo (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who challenges for Johnson’s (23-2-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) flyweight title at UFC 197, hasn’t met the lofty standards of Mighty Mouse in any of his four octagon appearances. However, that doesn’t mean he thinks Cejudo is an unworthy contender.
It’s very hard to impress me, Johnson told MMAjunkie. The last time I was impressed in the octagon was when Conor (McGregor) knocked out Jose Aldo. It was slick, smooth. Conor vs. Nate (Diaz) was impressive. Miesha (Tate) vs. Holly (Holm) was impressive because they were finishes. Henry Cejudo’s been on a great run. I can’t complain too much – the guy’s been doing his thing and beating everybody, so what more can you ask for?
