Has anyone followed Henry or seen his fights? I think there is some real potential there.. Any thoughts on if he will sign and if so how far will he go?
 
He outwrestles everyone at 125. Now can he make 125 consistently? That's the question
 
His last name is hilarious, it litterally translates to "thick eyebrows" hahah. Sorry no I have not followed him.
 
Good fighter but has weight issues and pulls out of fights for weird reasons. If he gets his shit together he could go far.
 
Almost everyone he's fought has a losing record. I am not imprezzed.
 
The pre-Olmypic medal Henry Cejudo had the heart and potential to make a serious UFC run. I'm not as sure about the current version of Henry Cejudo. Sure he can beat the lower organization talent with wrestling to ground & pound, but has never really shown that competitive drive that made him a champion several years back. Without some serious changes in mentality/training camp/coaches I'd say he starts out OK but then gets beat by the top 3 flyweight guy, and likely the top 5 of bantamweight if he can't make the weight cut. If he pulls off a win against any of them it will be almost entirely a lay and pray fight that neither the fans or Dana will be happy about.
 
Before he started his MMA career, I remember him coming to ATT around 08 and while he was still raw and the lower weight divisions didnt have the exposure they have now, man he was a beast abd he was training with heavier guys.

Dude has all the potential in the world and I could see him holding the belt at Flyweight and causing chaos at BW.

Unfortunately 2010-2014 version of Cejudo hasn't been the same guy motivation and training wise as the Olmypic medal hungry 2007-2008 Cejudo. You saw him around the top of his competitive game, but even after starting MMA competitively he's not quite got that same focus that made him a top world competitor. Since his medal run he's basically started to turn into the BJ Penn of the last 4-5 years. I'd love to see Cejudo get that medal hungry mentality back though.

He was coming back and forth inconsistently throughout the span of maybe a year, and I must admit that other than a fight and maybe a few HL's i havent really followed his career closely since. Do you know who hes training with? Or is he kind of bouncing around from gym to gym ala King Mo?

Maybe if he joins a serious training camp like ATT or Jacksons MMA it could benefit his game and he could feed off of the competitiveness of his teammates around him rather than have the spotlight solely focused on him surrounded by yes men.

I haven't keep major tabs on him MMA training but from what I heard a few years ago he was still training out of area Arizona camps but would bounce around occasionally to get some additional training in. If he is serious about a UFC run I do hope he makes the commitment to finding a serious gym and coaching staff, as well as, follows everything in their training regiment.
 
Let's hope UFC money provides proper motivation. I think MM could use some new blood in the division anyway. Legit contenders are few and far between.
 
He's a good fighter and seems to be developing all around, but also appears to have focus/commitment issues (and has since his he won Gold), has missed weight twice I believe in 6 fights, also pulled out of his last two fights. Plus he has a rep for being a prima donna...so we'll have to see how much he really invests in the sport.
 
I thought he was supposed to fight Damacio Page next. What happened?
 
Nice. I can't wait to see him against some top guys. Get it done!
