Former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo has hinted at making a comeback to the Octagon. After the recent UFC 259 bantamweight title fiasco, Triple C took to Twitter to condemn Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan.
Henry Cejudo believes that he is still the true champion of the bantamweight division. In a recent tweet, the Olympic gold medalist ridiculed the two men who fought for the title on Saturday. Cejudo stated that the silver medal was on the line at UFC 259, as he himself deserves the gold in the 135 lbs bracket.
The former champion tagged UFC president Dana White and predicted a finish within two rounds if he fought either of the two contenders, Aljo or Yan.
Judging by a recent Sports Nation interview, it appears that Henry Cejudo might be eyeing a comeback. "Triple C is coming back," said the former champion.
Petr Yan was handed a disqualification loss after an intentional knee on a grounded Aljamain Sterling. Following this, 'Funk Master' was awarded the bantamweight title.
Henry Cejudo was prompt in criticizing the new champion for apparently pretending to be concussed. Cejudo also took shots at Petr Yan for throwing an illegal strike despite being the champion.
Aljamain Sterling hits back at Henry Cejudo
Although Aljamain Sterling is ready to take on Petr Yan in a rematch, he won't evade a confrontation with Henry Cejudo if required. Sterling retaliated against the jibes by Cejudo on Twitter following UFC 259. The champion retweeted an old video of his face-off against Cejudo and hinted at fighting Triple C next.
Henry Cejudo responded by saying, "Show me the money." The Olympic wrestler has accused Dana White of underpaying him despite being an entertaining champion. If the promotion approaches Triple C with a lucrative offer, Cejudo may consider stepping into the cage once again.
At UFC 249, Henry Cejudo announced his retirement from the sport after defeating Dominic Cruz. The two-division champion has had one of the most illustrious careers in the UFC. He is the only fighter to boast an Olympic gold medal on his resume. Fireworks are guaranteed if the fighter decides to come out of retirement.
