USA Wrestling caught up with UFC and Olympic champion Henry Cejudo at the 2018 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Despite a busy schedule as a UFC champion, Cejudo made the trip to Budapest to cheer on Team USA at the premier event of the year. The champ shares his experience so far at the tournament, including some exciting people he's rubbed elbows with.
Cejudo competed at the 2007 World Championships, and in 2008, he became the youngest American wrestler to win an Olympic title at 21 years old. Since then, Kyle Snyder has bested that feat, winning an Olympic gold medal in 2016 at 20 years old.
