When it comes to the legacy of an MMA fighter, the primary criterion remains the number of titles the fighter held during his active career. Regardless of talent and skill, many fighters are not lucky enough and end up in their career without winning any major titles. Then very few are like Conor McGregor and Henry Cejudo, who can boast the claim to win simultaneous two-different weight division titles.

However, this is where the similarity between the two former champions ends. In reality, the duo is always involved in some verbal exchange.

In the past few months, the fans have witnessed both fighters going back and forth and making some derogatory comments about each other. Similarly, in a recent video, Henry Cejudo called the Irishman “Mctapper”. As a result, ‘Triple C’ received a lot of backlash from McGregor’s fans.

What did Henry Cejudo say about Conor McGregor?

In his latest Q&A video on YT, Henry Cejudo answered a fan question that inquired about the possibility of them partnering up. The question read, “Could coach CC and Conor[Conor McGregor] partner up and win title?”

The question was actually a reference to the role the former UFC champion has adopted, post his retirement. His list of notable disciples includes Zhang Weili, Jiri Prochazka, and Jon Jones.

The Messenger replied with a straight face. He said, “I’m gonna give you a 199 answer.”

MMA fans can expect the Dublin-born fighter to hit back with a scathing remark. Whereas ‘Triple C’ retired in 2020 and then transitioned to a coaching role, ‘The Notorious’ is eyeing a comeback after a year-long layoff.
