Henry Cejudo’s achievements in mixed martial arts are many, but his latest milestone is one that many could not have predicted.
Cejudo has become the first fighter to return 75 clean tests to the United States Anti-Doping Agency. The former bantamweight champion was congratulated by the United States Anti-Doping Agency and presented with a commemorative hexagonal medallion emblazoned with the number 75 in red.
He took to Twitter to celebrate his achievement and show off his award as he wrote:
“First to get USED test 75 clean. I’ll be first to 100. Play hard, play fair. Thank you [folded hands emoji] [trophy emoji x3].”
In the video, Cejudo labeled himself the greatest in history using the iconic line:
“Last name, always. First name, major.

Henry Cejudo believes that Valentina Shevchenko against Alexa Grasso will go all the way
The co-main event of UFC 285 will feature women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko attempting her eighth consecutive title defense against Mexican challenger Alexa Grasso.
‘Triple C’ weighed in on the fight and predicted it would go its full five-round course thanks to both fighters being incredibly competent. He also praised Grasso’s strength as he said:
“I will say this: This fight will go all the way. The toughest confrontation that Valentina is going to have is against a girl like Alexa Grasso. Alexa Grasso has the power in her hands. If Valentina decides to sit there and go blow for blow with Alexa Grasso, Alexa Grasso could potentially take her out.”
Henry Cejudo also referred to the width of Grasso’s stance and speculated if the champion would seek to exploit it tactically.
“There is one thing that Alexa Grasso has that not many people have capitalized on, is her posture. She has a very, very wide stance, and I think if Valentina plays well tactically, there will be a lot of leg kicking.”
