Henry Cejudo, a former two-division UFC champion, believes the Fighter of the Year award should go to Ilia Topuria, the promotion's welterweight champion
"It would be foolish not to give the Fighter of the Year award to Elijah Topuria. Topuria beat out two Hall of Fame candidates. Pereira, get out of the way, there is a Fighter of the Year and his name is Elijah Topuria," Sejudo said on his YouTube channel.
