Demetrious Johnson recently offered his take on the toughest test that Henry Cejudo could face upon his return. 'Mighty Mouse' admitted that the reigning UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski could prove to be Cejudo's most challenging opponent yet.

'Triple C' has been gunning for a fight ever since he returned to the USADA testing pool following a two-year-long hiatus from the sport. The Olympian has called out a number of fighters, including Alexander Volkanovski, Sean O'Malley, Aljamain Sterling and more.

While in conversation with The Schmo, Demetrious Johnson offered his take on Cejudo's toughest challenge inside the octagon. He admitted that Volkanovski and Cejudo shared a number of qualities, making it a tough matchup for both of them:

"Do I think [Henry Cejudo could] beat those guys? Absolutely. I think Volkanovski could be the toughest test because I think it will be a mirror image because Volkanovski understands the game. He's tough, he's gritty, and he's going to come to compete."

However, when asked whether he would like to see Cejudo compete in a fight against Volkanovski right off the bat, 'Mighty Mouse' admitted that he would like for Cejudo to earn the opportunity to fight 'The Great' by winning a handful of fights.
