‘Rent-A-Chumps’- Henry Cejudo Calls Out Three Divisional Champions For a Possible Comeback
Follow Us
Henry Cejudo is going to go down in history as one of the greatest Flyweights of all-time. While it is almost impossible to reach the status that Demetrious Johnson reached before Cejudo, Triple C has an impressive set of accomplishments to his name.
Unlike DJ, he beat Dominick Cruz at Bantamweight and was a 2-division weight champion. However, it seems like the retired Cejudo is drumming up interest in a return again.
He called out Dana White on Twitter and asked him to line up 3 champions for him for his next fight. Deiveson Figueiredo at 125, Petr Yan at 135, and Alexander Volkanovski at 145.

Yo @danawhite why don’t you line up all your Rent A Chumps at 125, 135 and 145. I bet the house that neither one of them would make it past two rounds with Triple C! #justsaying 🏆🏆🏆 pic.twitter.com/lksilc8NFa

This seems like just another social media thing for Cejudo, who has called out others like Max Holloway since retiring as well. As for the names he mentioned, all 3 champions have their next opponents.
Yan is defending against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 259, and Volkanovski will defend his strap a month later at UFC 260 against Brian Ortega.
Deiveson Figueiredo is going to defend his title against Brandon Moreno in a rematch of their draw from UFC 256. While no date has been announced, it is expected to be a part of the summer cards for the UFC.

The accumulated damage on Cejudo must be a lot which is why the 2-weight champion decided to retire in the middle of his prime. While a big-money fight may bring him back, it doesn’t seem like Cejudo would return for anything less than that.
