Henry Cejudo retired from MMA almost two years back but still dreams of winning one title
Henry Cejudo is willing to fight rising boxing star Jake Paul for free but only if Dana White sets up another match.
Triple C, as Cejudo is known, is a former UFC two-division champion. He also is an Olympic gold medalist but has not fought in the Octagon for a couple of years.
Cejudo retired from MMA after defeating Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. Triple C has claimed he is keen to return to action but only for the right money, and well, if there is another title on the shot.
Cejudo tweeted to Dana White that he would fight Paul for free if the UFC boss set up a title clash with Alexander Volkanovski.
Cejudo further tweeted out that he would never cancel the fight or pull out of the card.
Henry Cejudo wants to create history
Triple C tweeted all of this after a huge UFC 272 fight was cancelled. Volkanovski, the Featherweight Champion, was to fight Max Holloway in their trilogy at UFC 272.
However, Holloway pulled out of the clash citing injury and no replacement has been confirmed yet.
Cejudo has called Volkanovski out several times in the past and Triple C wants to become the first UFC triple champion.
Volkanovski, for his part, isn’t all that interested in fighting Triple C. He called out The Korean Zombie, Chan Sung Jung, and it will be interesting to see who the Australian faces next.
Volkanovski is undefeated in his UFC career and has two wins over Holloway as well. Cejudo, for his part, held both the Flyweight and Bantamweight titles, and has also voiced his opinion on how the Bantamweight division has been going these days.
Cejudo did great things to save two divisions in the UFC, and hopefully, we get to see him fight once more, at least.
