A pair of Olympic wrestling teammates, Henry Cejudo and Daniel Cormier, are finalists for the 2019 ESPY Award as Best MMA Fighter.
Both of these stars are current UFC champions, and are among the very few to hold UFC titles in two weight classes at the same time.

Cejudo currently is the UFC Flyweight and Bantamweight champion. Cormier is currently the UFC Heavyweight champion, and previously held both the Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight title simultaneously. Both are among only four who have been UFC "Champ-Champ."
Cejudo was a 2008 Olympic freestyle wrestling champion. Cormier, a teammate with Cejudo at the 2008 Olympics, was also a 2004 Olympian. Cormier also won a World bronze medal on the Senior level.
Cejudo won state high school titles in Arizona and Colorado. Cormier was a high school star in Louisiana, a junior college star at Colby CC in Kansas and an NCAA All-American for Oklahoma State.
Only one of these two stars can be the ESPY winner for Best MMA Fighter, but let's make sure a wrestler wins it this time around
