Cejudo has called out various fighters since expressing his interest in coming back to the UFC spotlight. Unfortunately, things don’t look that good for ‘The Messenger’ as he wants a title fight, but UFC President Dana White wants ‘Triple C’ to win a few bouts and earn a championship match.

Dana White stated that trash-talking on Twitter would not get Cejudo the fight he wanted. This seems to be something that ‘Triple C’ isn’t too fond of.
