Demetrious Johnson knows Henry Cejudo as a guy who 'couldn't make weight'
LOS ANGELES -- Undefeated Olympic wrestling gold medalist Henry Cejudo has as much hype on him as any prospect in the UFC's lighter weight classes.
But the current kingpin of Cejudo's weight class, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, will be more impressed when Cejudo proves he can make the 125-pound limit on a regular basis.
Asked to appraise his potential future opponent based on what he's seen thus far, Johnson told reporters Monday "I saw his last fight against Chris Cariaso, and that was the only one. The only way I knew about him was because he couldn't make weight. That's all I know."
