Petr Yan Calls Henry Cejudo ‘Triple Clown’ for Getting Hopes Up

The UFC bantamweight champion, Petr Yan, would have taken on the number 1 bantamweight contender, Aljamain Sterling at UFC 256. But, for some visa and travel-related issues, champion Yan had to pull out of the fight. This would have been Yan’s first title defense after bagging the UFC gold in July.

Recently, Henry Cejudo, engaged in a war of words with Yan, for pulling out of his fight.

Prior to Cejudo, Yan responded to Cody Garbrandt for his remarks on him, which later caught Triple C’s attention, and he joined the fray. ‘The Messenger’ wrote, “Can’t wait till you lose to flavor flave  stunt double @funkmasterMMA you  #rentachamp keep polishing my belt baby”.

Petr Yan was quick enough to revert to Cejudo’s claims. He tweeted, “Don’t get your hopes too high triple clown! Can’t wait when you will have ba**s to come back to give you reality check twitter warrior! Until then stay irrelevant.”

‘No Mercy’ issued a warning to Henry Cejudo and labeled him a ‘twitter warrior’. Yan looked desperate to touch gloves with him. This seems the inception of another rivalry between top-notch athletes of the sport. Fans would always be on board with this fight, but the big question will be whether Cejudo will end his retirement to fight for a belt he has already won.

Petr Yan and Henry Cejudo to settle scores inside the octagon?

Henry Cejudo retired from the sport after his T/KO win over Dominick Cruz in a bantamweight title fight at UFC 249. Ever since his retirement, he has been calling gout fighters, most notably the ones who currently hold the belts he vacated.

As Cejudo vacated the bantamweight title, Petr Yan took full use of this opportunity by wiping Jose Aldo out of his way to bag the ultimate gold. He is undefeated in the UFC and has jumped to the top in no time. To establish his supremacy, Yan will look forward to defending his title against sturdy opponents like Cejudo.

However, ‘The Messenger’ has shown no interest in coming back and reclaiming his title. For now, it’s hard to predict where this Twitter war will end. Moreover, fans will eagerly await Cejudo’s response to Yan’s tweet.

Will Henry Cejudo return to the UFC octagon to confront Petr Yan? How many wins will ‘No Mercy’ need to be seen as the greatest UFC bantamweight champion?
