Former UFC champion Henry Cejudo took to social media and went after boxing star Ryan Garcia via ESPN Ringside. The two elite combat athletes have been jawing back and forth through social media posts that have excited fight fans worldwide. Not to mention, the crossover appeal that a potential bout between the two would generate.

Henry Cejudo walked away from the bright lights of the octagon after a successful title defense against Dominick Cruz. His retirement came as a surprise to the MMA community as a whole, considering its timing. Moreover, speculations were rife surrounding the fact that retirement was a ploy during contract negotiations.

Henry Cejudo: ‘Answer the call”

Triple C fired on all cylinders in his recent callout of Ryan Garcia. The 21-year-old boxing ace has responded in kind by trolling Cejudo in a return fire. It seems that the former two-division UFC champion is unwilling to relent in his pursuit of the money fight.

“The Fight really tugs at me, the one that I really want. The easiest money and the biggest money is with the golden girl Ryan Garcia. So Ryan Garcia, if you are watching, since you can’t speak Spanish, answer the call and sign the damn contract.”

The Olympian wrestler has remained in the focus of the combat sports community despite walking away. He has vehemently expressed a desire to box Ryan Garcia even during his days as champion on the active roster. The call-out further catches steam as ‘KingRy’ is quick to respond in kind.

Whilst entertaining crossover fights, Ryan Garcia has his hands full in the boxing world. With high profile bookings with Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis in the pipeline, it is unclear when the match-up with Cejudo will line up.

Given the timeline of current events, MMA pundits predict a return to action against Alexander Volkanovski is a more likely scenario. Until then, combat sports fans will continue to pine over mega fights with box-office potential.
