"Just another hater that's under 5'4" - Henry Cejudo reacts to Kai Kara-France recommending he stay retired

Since Alexander Volkanovski defeated Brian Ortega to successfully defend his featherweight championship at UFC 266 in September this year, former two-division titleholder Henry Cejudo has been calling him out on social media.

Volkanovski's City Kickboxing Gym teammate contender Kai Kara-France took a shot at Cejudo. The No.6-ranked flyweight said in an interview that 'Triple C' should stay retired because it would be difficult for him to compete in the 145-pound weight class.

During the latest episode of the Triple C & Schmo Show, Henry Cejudo hit back at Kara-France. He told co-host Dave Schmulenson that his speed and wrestling would make him a bad matchup for 'The Great'.

"Oh my god! Just another hater that is under 5'4''. Can you believe that, Schmo? The bad matchup is honestly for Volkanovski because he has never fought somebody [like me]. He [Kara-France] is right. I am short, compact and strong. There are two things that will make it difficult for 'Alexander the Average' and that's my speed and my wrestling. It's my IQ, man! It does not matter who I fight. I'm going to go out there and take them out," said Cejudo."

Cejudo capped off one of his classic callouts with a guarantee if that given the opportunity, he would defeat Alexander Volkanovski.

"Anyway, Kai Kara-France you dirty Kiwi, I get it though. You are backing your friend Alexander the Average. But I tell you what man. If they give me that opportunity, I am gonna show you why I'm the history maker," quipped Cejudo.
