If you’ve never seen Henry Cejudo fight, don’t worry, you are not alone. After the blitzkrieg of blows Cejudo delivered in UFC 238, even other fighters like Marlon Moraes can hardly claim that they have.
Depending on what sport you follow, Henry Cejudo has either been a household name for close to 15 years, or a relatively new addition to the elite tier of UFC fighters. In 2006, while still in high-school, Cejudo won the American Wrestling Federations National Freestyle Tournament at the most elite level. Within two years, Cejudo represented America in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games and brought home the gold, making him the youngest ever Mexican-American Freestyle Wrestling Olympic Champion.
Those great victories were not achieved without even more significant hardships. The son of two undocumented immigrants, Henry Cejudo, was one of seven children raised solely by his mother. His first time sleeping alone was when he was provided one by USA Wrestling during his Olympic training. To overcome such obstacles and claw one’s way into the elite tier of globally recognized fighters is awe-inspiring.
Frankly, Henry Cejudo’s origin story embodies the American Dream.
To try and imagine the day-to-day training of an elite fighter conjures images of Rocky montages, grueling workout regimes, and a one hundred percent commitment to the physical discipline they practice. For most people, cannabis is not (and could not) be a part of that routine.
High Times spoke to Henry Cejudo to shatter that idea.
