I'm the cash cow now, man. It's the Cejudo way.
— Henry Cejudo
I'm an Olympic champ. I defeated Demetrious Johnson. I defeated T. J. Dillashaw. You think a World Series of Fighting former champ is gonna scare me?
We're in the entertainment business.
Let's be honest: material comes and goes.
Look at Colby Covington. The guy can fight, and the guy can talk. To a lot of people, he just grinds people out, and many people consider him boring, but because he opens his mouth, people want to watch him fight. A lot of people want to see him win; a lot of people want to see him lose.
I'm a big Conor McGregor fan. I really am, man. I enjoy him; I like watching him.
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.
I would definitely love to finish school.
To beat Henry Cejudo, you might have to bring an AK-47 and a couple dudes.
I'd like to see him fight at 135 for the championship. I want to see how good Demetrious Johnson is or how far he could take it.
I want to fight Tim Elliott. I want to fight him.
I'm an Arizona boy.
I respect Demetrious Johnson to the fullest. I wouldn't travel the world and find different training partners and coaches to help me defeat this man if I didn't want to win.
Will I become a UFC champion some day? I know I will.
I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted to in my career.
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.
Why call out the champion in my first title defense? Because that's who Henry Cejudo is.
I speak three languages. I'm pretty handsome myself.
I may do some cringey and crazy things, but for crying out loud, I have Nikki Bella calling me out.
If people think or believe that the flyweight division is boring, man, you're out of your mind.
I can easily fill out at 135 pounds and feel good.
In MMA, it's a sport, but it's entertainment, too.
I still feel there is a trilogy between Henry Cejudo and Demetrious, and I see that playing out in the future.
I started competing on boxing, so I have my hands. I'm an O.K. wrestler, so why not?
I think T. J. Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson - I'm a bad matchup for both of them.
I have a nutritionist living with me, cooking my food, weighing it, portioning out a lot of things, and it's very detailed now.
When you get hit to the body, you don't even worry about your face no more.
I would meet Tim Elliott at 135. At heavyweight if he wanted.
A lot of people didn't believe in me.
I've traveled to Brazil, Europe, Asia - all in preparation to defeat Demetrious Johnson, to defeat the pound-for-pound best fighter in history.
I've been the best in the world, and I believe my self worth, it's more important to me than my net worth.
When I'm inspired, I know I can get things done.
I've done things, from the Olympics to defeating two of the greatest fighters of all time.
Henry Cejudo is a motivator.
I'm doing my job; I'm fighting for the flyweight division.
I don't think I'm that boring.
At the age of 31, I feel like I'm in my prime, baby.
I'm a tank, man.
I come from the sport of wrestling, where there's nothing but respect on the mat.
I don't just want to fight Demetrious: I want to beat him, and he's been on my mind since he beat me.
I actually won the Copper Gloves in Arizona.
Suffering makes me hungry. Suffering allows me to put some hurt in my opponent. It's a good thing.
If you think you're higher than UFC, if you think you're better than all the other fighters, then maybe you should get pulled.
M.M.A. is growing, and it's a basic wrestling sport. A lot of fighters are ex-wrestlers. A lot of guys take the easy way out, make quick money.
The medal just was an object, just a medal, and that's it. What really meant something was the blood, the sweat, the tears that went into getting that medal. I'll always have the memories of that with me.
There's not too many times in life do you get a chance at redemption.
I'm a fighter now. I'm officially a mixed martial artist. I'm not a wrestler no more.
My number-one goal was just to be a good person, a good father, a good husband and then, after that, was to be an Olympic champ and eventually a UFC champ. And I've done everything I've ever kinda set my mind to.
I want to fight for a credible organization and face high caliber opponents.
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.
