How did I forget that Henry Cejudo had one of the worst nicknames before Triple C?

[Peli]

The guy's name was The Messenger.

 

[Summoning]

"the dancer"

 

[Iroh]

The guy's name was The Messenger.

Dude was already cringing it up with that nickname to achieve the level of cringe that he eventually reached.

 

[JustOnce]

The guy's name was The Messenger.

That's better.

 

[RockyLockridge]

The guy's name was The Messenger.

the messenger is a way better nick name, it's actually a sick nick name

 

[IloveTHIS]

still one of the best of all time

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

The guy's name was The Messenger.

Better than “the eagle” imho...
Cejudo is also a better fighter. *grabs popcorn*

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

"the dancer"

Lol that 5'11 dude has good face, shame about everything else

agreed. even khabib agrees!

 

[SteveColdStone]

I like that nickname

Beasting 25/8 was one of the worse nicknames ever

 

[TheMessiah]

agreed. even khabib agrees!

He definitely has a case, for combat athlete. I mean 2 belts, defended both and olympic gold is ridiculous

No nickname is cool if you're a Manlet

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

agreed. even khabib agrees!

I don't think he thought about it too much.. He just said "Olympic champion". didn't even consider the double weight classes in UFC. Khabib is nice.
I watched that whole group interview before, he even says that blonde winning gold in judo is alot more impressive than winning in wrestling, he said to cejudo if he doesnt believe he should sit down with his dad abdulmanap(he was alive back then). That chick actually has 2 olympic gold medals too, but idk about all that PFL is weak sauce, but not her fault UFC doesn't have weight classes above FW for girls.

he overplayed his hand retiring, I would really love to see him fight volk, but dana is not going to give him that fight. He'll be afraid he does a GSP and retires after he gets the title. should he beat alex.

It would have been more amazing if he had those accomplishments in higher weight classes.

Winning the Olympic Gold in wrestling at 55kg is like winning the home run title in little league (pun not intended)

When someone wins a gold medal at 55kg the next few questions are:

How many adult males weigh 55kg (121lbs)?

Out of the small number of male adults that weigh 55kg how many are athletes?

Out of that even smaller number how many compete in wrestling?

Congrats Henry you were the best wrestler out of 50 people that compete at that weight worldwide!!!

I’m not hating on the guy. I like watching him fight in the cage at bantamweight

 

[TheMessiah]

It would have been more amazing if he had those accomplishments in higher weight classes.

I mean you can only face what's in front of you. Tj, Cruz, Moraes, DJ are extremely good opponents

What do you mean. Khabib fits his nick perfectly

Beasting 25/8 was one of the worse nicknames ever

Beastin 25/8 crosses the line to so bad it's good imo. For me it's hard to beat Showeather when it comes to lousy nicknames. And though I'm a fan of Mousasi the Dreamcatcher is pretty gay tbh
