Henry Cejudo, who has strong claims to being the greatest combat sports athlete of all time is not a fan of Joe Rogan‘s recent hot take on that title. The UFC commentator recently suggested new UFC champion, Alex Periera could be the greatest of all time in combat sports and Triple C is not entertaining that one bit.

Joe Rogan might have gone a little overboard with his praise for Alex Pereira and Henry Cejudo is genuinely shocked by it. Recently on his podcast, the UFC commentator, talking to Sean O’Malley said, the newly crowned UFC middleweight champion might have passed Olympic winner, two-division UFC champion, “Triple C” as the greatest combat athlete of all time.

Henry Cejudo joined by his former rival and now close friend, Demetrious Johnson, reacted to this clip and laughed out loud listening to Rogan’s hot take. “Joe Rogan, I love you, man. I hope you invite me on your show and I ain’t trying to sh** on you, but yeah, that was about the worst thing I’ve heard from you dude!” said Triple C reacting to Rogan’s clip from his podcast.

Demetrious Johnson, who was not as blunt as Cejudo agrees with his friend and believes Alex Pereira is not the greatest combat sports athlete of all time. “Poatan” is a former two-division GLORY kickboxing champion and is now the UFC middleweight champion. Despite this being a remarkable achievement for a combat athlete, Cejudo doesn’t think that puts the Brazilian above him.

If Joe Rogan claiming Alex Pereira was higher than Cejudo on the best combat athlete list was not enough, the UFC commentator’s reasoning behind that surely triggered the MMA fanbase to mock him for his take. “Pereira when he’s fighting in GLORY, he’s fighting elite professionals. You know whereas Henry is wrestling amateurs,” said Rogan about an Olympic gold medalist’s wrestling career.

Henry Cejudo is now looking to make a return to the UFC and is the favorite to be the next bantamweight title contender against Aljamain Sterling, according to his manager. If Triple C manages to come out of retirement and become the champ again, even Rogan would have to humbly bow down to Cejudo’s claim to be the greatest combat athlete of all time.
