Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor snapped back at the former UFC fighter Henry Cejudo after he took a jibe at ‘The Notorious’ in his previous tweet.

‘The Messenger’ retired from professional fighting after his last title defense against Dominick Cruz in UFC 249. However, he has recently expressed his interest in coming out of retirement to fight the featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Cejudo has many times requested Dana White for the fight.

However, in response, the UFC president addressed his demands ‘Silly’ in one of his interviews. This didn’t sit well with the Olympic gold medalist and he quickly took a dig at White, while also taking a sneaky jibe at the UFC star Conor McGregor.

Cejudo wrote Twitter, “Dana, I needed a break. Honestly, it was getting boring beating up TJ Pillashaw in under a minute and Dominick Snooze in 2.”
