Former UFC two-division champ Henry “Triple C” Cejudo has once more taken to Twitter to call out former UFC two-division champ Conor McGregor. Cejudo, who retired in 2020, has recently declared that he wants to return to competition, and he has his sights set on the UFC’s biggest star. Cejudo wants to “expose” McGregor despite the pair never fighting in the same weight division.
The initial Tweet read: “Let’s cut all the bs @TheNotoriousMMA DOUBLE CHAMP vs DOUBLE CHAMP Champs across 4 different divisions Who will become the 1st 3-division champ? You got a 10-in reach advantage. I’ll even fight at 155. Let me expose you McTapper.”
Cejudo Begs McGregor For “Double Champ vs Double Champ” Fight at 155
In the video accompanying the Tweet, Cejudo elaborated, acknowledging that he wants the “red panty night” and is willing to move up to lightweight at 155 pounds to make the fight happen.
“I’d like to see him dance with me, quite honestly. He went from 145 to 170. Why don’t you give me that same opportunity? I can go from 135 to 125, all the way up to 155, no problem. That’s what I would like to see next. I want that fight.
I talk a lot of stuff, we smack talk a lot of stuff to each other, it gets personal between us, give me the opportunity and give me the shot.
Let’s cut the bullsh*t out. You know who Conor McGregor needs to fight? You’re talking to him right now. That’s right, the Triple C, the Olympic champ, the flyweight champ, and the bantamweight champion of the world.
Enough of this Twitter crap. Enough of this cute Twitter stuff. Yeah, you are red panty night, and for that reason I do want to fight you. But think about it too, Conor McTapper, you got two belts and I have two belts. I have an Olympic gold medal and you don’t have anything.
Anyway, that being said, I say we go at it, dude. I say we make this fight and that’s it, man. Talk is cheap dude. You’ve commented on all the videos I do about you. I am a smart human being bro, you know that, and I want to expose you and I want to expose it live on pay-per-view if you wanna sign that contract. I’m waiting.”
Conor McGregor, who in recovery from a broken leg has ballooned up to 180 pounds – or more – has been more interested in a run at the welterweight division. It’s unlikely that Henry Cejudo will get his red panty night even if he bulks up to 155.
