Beijing Olympic wrestling champion Henry Cejudo moved to 8-0 as an MMA fighter with a flyweight win at UFC 185 on Saturday.
Cejudo, who became the youngest U.S. Olympic wrestling champion at 21 at Beijing 2008, gained instant fame as the son of illegal immigrants from Mexico. His story was told in a book, “American Victory.”
On Saturday, Cejudo beat Chris Cariaso in a unanimous decision in his second UFC fight and first as a flyweight.
Cariaso previously fought (and lost to) UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson in September.
