Former UFC Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion Henry Cejudo is desperate to prove himself as the GOAT. He does not seem to have retired from the sport, instead calling out more fighters on social media than he ever was.

We saw him posting a video with Mike Perry, then he mocked the recently crowned champion flyweight, Deiveson Figueiredo. It has been just two months since he called it quits after defeating Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. But looks like he still has that magnetic attraction towards the Octagon.

Henry Cejudo challenges Alexander Volkanovski

Many fans who want to witness a trilogy fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway might have to wait. The way Henry is dropping bombs on his handles, it seems like he is hungrier to make this work. “Triple C” is using all the tricks from his pandora’s box to provoke Volkanovski into reacting. He made some big flashy claims saying:

“This is the only fight that matters to my legacy and would cement me as the goat of my sport! Who wants to see me make [Alexander Volkanovski] bend the knee!? Triple C.”

While Cejudo is keen to fight, “The Great” has already hinted that this is not the fight that would help him become the GOAT. So maybe the banter is turning serious, but it is far from turning into a reality.

Cejudo reaches out to Dana White

Another Twitter-head, former Bellator Welterweight Champion Ben Askren, added some fuel to the fire. He wrote on his account, “Cmon let’s do [Henry Cejudo] vs [Alexander Volkanovski] !!! why not [Dana White] [UFC].”

The former Olympic gold medalist wasted no time in retweeting it and asking Dana to give him a chance. As of now, Dana has not reacted to any of this. “Triple C” has a great resume and would love to see himself winning a belt in the Featherweight division.
