Henry Cejudo: No more excuses, Jon Jones ‘greatest mixed martial artist of all time’ after UFC 285

"

Henry Cejudo says the debate is over on who the greatest of all time is after UFC 285.

Jon Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) was able to quickly submit Ciryl Gane in Round 1 after an over three-year long layoff to capture the vacant heavyweight title in this past Saturday’s headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Already widely considered as one of the greatest fighters of all time, the longtime UFC light heavyweight champion added even more to his legacy by capturing a second belt, which Cejudo says separated him from the rest of the sport’s greats.

“Jon Jones did what he had to get done,” Cejudo said on his YouTube Channel. “He executed the game plan. He did very, very well. His leg kicks, the way that he delivered his takedowns, the way that he was able to have that tenacity to control a guy like Ciryl Gane, and how he did it.

“Jon Jones just cemented himself as the greatest of all time. No more excuses. No more (Georges) St-Pierre. No more anybody. His name is Jon Jones, and he is the greatest pound-for-pound fighter. The greatest mixed martial artist of all time.”

Cejudo played a part in Jones’ successful heavyweight debut. The former UFC dual-champ and Olympic gold medalist wrestler talked Jones through the exact wrestling exchange which led to the fight-ending sequence during their last training session before the fight. Cejudo has now assisted Zhang Weili, Deiveson Figueiredo and Jones in capturing UFC gold.
