Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo has dismissed the idea of labeling Petr Yan as the bantamweight division's greatest of all time, according to recent comments.

Cejudo, who held titles at flyweight and bantamweight, has been vocal about the division's hierarchy. While Yan is a former champion and top contender, Cejudo's stance reflects ongoing debate about the weight class's historical best.

The bantamweight GOAT discussion often includes names like Dominick Cruz, T.J. Dillashaw, and Cejudo himself. Yan's resume features wins over top opponents, but Cejudo's reluctance to anoint him underscores the subjective nature of such rankings.
