Henry Cejudo wasn’t too impressed by the sparring session that was underway between the two champions, to say the least. ‘Triple C’ equated the knocks they were being exchanged to a date between a couple.
Fans have become accustomed to Henry’s verbal barbs that are often aimed at both Yan and Volkanovski.
These guys should just go out on a date if you ask me. 😂 https://t.co/hxczsf4cCG

Henry Cejudo: Professional Twitter troll
The former Olympian, Henry Cejudo retired from MMA at UFC 249 after defending his 135-pound title against Dominick Cruz. He stopped Cruz via strikes and the finish was initiated off a perfectly timed knee that landed flush. Fans were surprised to learn that ‘Triple C’ was ready to hang it up and turn to new avenues in his life.
What’s more, fans were quick to speculate that Cejudo’s retirement was an attempt at contract negotiation with the UFC. However, around six months removed, ‘The Messenger’ is still very much on the shelf with no plans to return. However, he now fires heavy artillery at several top fighters currently on the roster.
The aforementioned champions in Petr Yan and Alexander Volkanovski have been frequent targets of Cejudo when it comes to trolling. ‘No Mercy’ Yan captured Cejudo’s vacant 135-pound title and Henry had always expressed a sentiment to become a three-division champion. Thus, Volkanovski also joined the ranks as cannon fodder for Henry Cejudo’s online bashing.

Furthermore, he put forth his attention to several boxers fighting in the lower weight classes. Ryan Garcia has been a name that fans who follow Henry will be aware of. The two elite athletes have gone back and forth on several occasions and have talked about fighting each other.
Fight fans are looking forward to the day that ‘The King of Cringe’ finally decides to lace up the gloves and compete. Cejudo is a part of the current landscape of MMA and has the skills to beat top fighters.
