Claudio Castagnoli: I’ve Proven I’m The Best CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Maybe Ever

Claudio Castagnoli has held the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship for just over 100 days, making five successful title defenses.

His next defense will be on March 13 against Ultimo Guerrero.

Speaking to SP3 of Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown, Claudio commented on his upcoming title defense.

“I’ve always felt that I always want to test myself against the best and see where I’m at, because of that, I’ve always believed that if you want to see how good you are, step in the ring with me. Right now, I feel I’ve proved to everybody that I’m the best CMLL World Heavyweight Champion that maybe there’s ever been.

“That may make some of the luchadors mad. Look at Ultimo Guerrero, who wants another shot because he feels his family and his home country is being misrepresented or not represented that well, but my response to that would be that your brother had the title for three years and I’ve defended it more in what’s been three, four months.”

Fightful will have results from CMLL following the conclusion of the event.
