Cejudo names the fighter who surprised him the most in 2023

Former UFC champion in two weight classes Henry Cejudo admitted that the performances of the undefeated welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov in the past year made a great impression on him.

“The guy who is music to my ears is Shavkat Rakhmonov. 18 fights and 18 early victories! This is a zombie that kills opponents. He will not complete his work until he finishes off his victim. I think Shavkat is two wins away from a title fight. I would love to see him fight Colby Covington. It would be a cool fight,” Cejudo said in the latest episode of the author’s YouTube channel.

Let us remind you that on December 16 at the UFC 296 tournament, Rakhmonov defeated Stephen Thompson by choke in the second round.
