Henry Cejudo shocked the world last month by defeating one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in UFC history, Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson at UFC 227. The former Olympian defeated DJ by split decision in what was one of the biggest upsets in the company's history. The Current Flyweight Champion immediately challenged the Bantamweight Champion, TJ Dillashaw to a fight at a later date.

Cejudo is one of the best wrestlers in the UFC today. He is one of the only three Olympic Gold Medallist to compete in the UFC. His win against DJ at UFC 227 has made him an overnight sensation and the WWE will most certainly be looking to sign the Los Angeles native, should he decide to step away from the octagon.

Cejudo will be a perfect fit for the WWE with his stellar amateur wrestling background. He is the closest the company will ever come to replacing Kurt Angle, who is also an Olympic Gold Medallist. A programme against Angle in his debut could do wonders for the LA-native and will be a passing of the torch from one Olympic hero to another.
