The Notorious Conor McGregor is at it once more. The Irishman is known for his bold statements and unfiltered quotes that often land him in both controversies and spotlights. His recent target was Henry Cejudo, who fought at the main event of UFC 288. Cejudo came out of retirement to fight the current bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288.

However, Triple C lost the fight via a controversial split decision. Before retiring, Cejudo had an impressive run in the UFC, winning titles in both the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. McGregor, who has a public feud with Cejudo, took some shots at him in his recent video. In the video, Conor called out Cejudo for “barely scratching” Sterling throughout the fight. McGregor also sarcastically offered Cejudo some coaching advice.

Cejudo responded to the Notorious in the post-fight conference at UFC 288. When asked about McGregor’s video, Cejudo reminded McGregor of his achievements, stating that McGregor “don’t got s*** on my resume.” He also compared his hiatus to McGregor’s, by mentioning that The Notorious was “stopped” in his comeback fight.

“He’s been stopped at the three-year layoff which I was able to do and compete. Then hearing the boos from the crowd once they announced the winner, I mean that says a lot to me.” Cejudo lost the fight by a razor-thin margin, and many MMA fans believe that he deserved the win.

Triple C then talked about how the criticism people have against him will motivate him to do better. “Selling this fight like it’s okay man bring the hate. Maybe it’ll motivate me you know, I’m not one of these guys. Yeah, I’m a little p*ssed because I hate losing but I love it. So thank you Conor.”

Henry Cejudo’s future at UFC is uncertain at present

Despite his loss, Cejudo is not ruling out the possibility of making another run for the bantamweight title. Even before his UFC 288 fight, Cejudo had repeatedly mentioned moving to the featherweight division. Now, after the fight, Triple C briefly shed some light on his future at the promotion.

“If I decide to make this run, I will reclaim the belt again. But like I said before, my goal was to go up to 145lb and that’s kind of where I will draw the line.”
