Post-retirement, most fighters take some time away from the sport that they have dedicated their lives too. However, Henry Cejudo isn’t your everyday fighter. Even in his retirement, Cejudo isn’t letting go of the tactics that made him the ‘King of Cringe’.

Apart from having one of the most stacked combat sports resumes of all time, Cejudo was also skilled in marketing himself. In a time when the lightest division of the UFC wasn’t getting enough attention, Cejudo single-handedly brought the spotlight back. Through his over-the-top gimmicks, he would always find a way to be in the news.

Cejudo called out a variety of opponents while he was on the top. That list, however, didn’t stop at the men necessarily. He even called out female flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko. The two had a proper “beef” in which they even got physical, albeit in a playful manner.

Now that Henry Cejudo is retired, he has another female champ calling him out.
