Henry Cejudo pushes the idea of Mike Tyson being the BMF title presenter at UFC 281. After Jorge Masvidal’s retirement, the UFC has decided to bring back the BMF title and what better fight than Justin Gaethje vs Dustin Poirier deserves to host the title.

However, this has created a lot of buzz on who will be the person to present the title at UFC 291. Last time it was ‘The Rock’ who took that responsibility but According to UFC veteran Henry Cejudo that’s a poor choice.

Cejudo recently shared a YouTube video in which he mentioned that a WWE wrestler like Dwayne Johnson shouldn’t be the ideal choice and instead Mike Tyson should get the honor.

He said: “The person who I feel should be introducing the BMF is not the Rock. It’s not a WWE superstar, it’s not an actor. You know who it should be? His name is uncle Mike Tyson. Dana White, if you guys are going to bring somebody to really deliver this belt and do it right and put some more prestige on that belt. His name is Mike Tyson.” According to Cejudo, Mike Tyson is a legend and his presence will add way more prestige to the title in comparison to an actor like The Rock.

Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier are some of the greatest superstars of UFC and have been part of some of the biggest PPV events. Both have the reputation of being extremely entertaining and brutal fighters and the fight is expected to be a classic. According to Henry Cejudo, both fighters have evolved a lot in past years and it will be a very interesting fight. 

He said: “It’s a different fight now. Justin Gaethje now, he’s gotten better. He’s reserved a little more of his violence and he’s been able to use it accordingly. His takedowns are coming in. This is a good match-up. This is a fight that I believe is going to sell a lot of PPVs.”

Cejudo also talked about how the BMF title should be in every weight class so that fights can get more interesting. He added: “Maybe they should have a BMF for every category. I think that would be cool too.” Triple C thinks that by doing this UFC will get the luxury to make more intriguing and competitive main events for the fans.
