Quotes from Henry Cejudo

I don't want people to think I'm a wrestler.

I'm the one. I know I'm the one. I have the style, I have the wrestling. I know I'm the one to beat Demetrious Johnson.

Henry Cejudo is a motivator.

It was very important to me to join an organization that has an established track record of helping young fighters grow into world class athletes and champions. Gladiator Challenge has been a home to such fighters as Quinton Jackson, Rashad Evans, Urijah Faber, Tyson Griffin, Chael Sonnen, Michael McDonald, and many others.

I'm bilingual. I speak English and Spanish.

Spanish is actually my first language, growing up, and I understand the culture. I understand the culture; I understand what the people want.

I have really heavy muscle.

The general public, they get bored. There's no interest because they think, or they know, Demetrious Johnson will always win. And I've always said, even after that loss to Demetrious Johnson, even after he beat me, I said I felt him a little bit. I still believe I can beat him, even after being knocked down the first round.

Growing up without a dad and not having a father figure - I noticed a hole in my life. For the longest time, I would run away from my problems instead of confronting them. I felt empty at one point. Not depressed, but empty.

Henry Cejudo is going to become the greatest combat athlete of all time, being an Olympic champ and a two-division champ in the UFC.

I've done things, from the Olympics to defeating two of the greatest fighters of all time.
