I've noticed not many are talking about Cejudo. Do any of you guys think Cejudo could potentially be a threat to Mighty Mouse? I personally wasn't impressed with Henry's debut at 125 but he looked awesome at 135, so I'm very curious to see how his next bout goes against Chico Camus at UFC 188. If he wins that matchup in nice fashion, how far away do you think he is from a shot? It seems everyone is talking about John Dodson, but I'd honestly rather see a fresh matchup and Dodson get one more fight if he gets past Mackovsky. Who are some other guys at FLW you maybe see giving Mighty Mouse competive fights?

Cejudo
Dodson
Benevidez
Mackovsky

Could all be decent matchups i guess. Wilson Reis has also looked pretty good at 125, and you also have Ray Borg and Louis Smolka coming up. But I say Mighty Mouse defeats all these guys. So who all do you think he fights next? And how do you see Henry Cejudo doing? Cause to me that would be the most interesting fight for Mighty Mouse right now
 
Dodson and Cejudo are the only legit threats to his title right now. It all depends on the progession of Henry's striking. Mighty Mouse won't be able to bully Henry in the clinch and will find it really hard to take him down period.
 
Definitely. Gooch was able to get DJ down, Henry would keep him there. Only probably is getting a hold of him.

Cejudo could be a threat if he trains seriously. I don't think that Makovsky will be one though. He was dominated by Formiga not too long ago. I feel like DJ could do similarly by aggressively pursuing back control.
 
Yes. Cejudo will finally outlay MM for the most boring bout of poetic justice in MMA history.

I'd be shocked if MM were able to get Cejudo down. With Cejudo, we're talking about a completely different level of wrestling. MM could maaaaybe pull off a TD in a setup but there's no way in hell that he's keeping Cejudo on the ground.
 
Prolly be the next match up should Cejudo steam roll his next weigh in.

He wasn't dominated. Formiga won a 29-28 decision which was decided by a stupid throw Makovsky did in the second round which Jussier capitalized on by taking his back.
 
Don't think so, Henry is a threat to everyone else in the division, just not MM.
 
Maybe in like two years; Dodson is still the biggest threat, amazing how many people seem to have forgotten that he damn near had Johnson KO'd twice, and lost because he fatigued
 
IMO Cejudo is a bad matchup for MM, I see a UD there if Cejudo improves his striking, that would be one year from now
 
Olympic wrestling and MMA wrestling are very different so it'd be interesting to see. People saying Cejudo would soundly out wrestle DJ are just hoping. Remember Jones vs DC? It's a good match up though

For a wrestler of his caliber, Cejudo's striking looked pretty good already. Not to say it's MM level, but I don't think they need to string him along too far.

Assuming Dodson loses the rematch, Cejudo ought to be next up.
