‘Triple C’ has made it clear that he will only return to the UFC to fight featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Hence, fans may concur with Vallie-Flagg’s tweet as Cejudo is not likely to return to flyweight or bantamweight.
Cody Garbrandt ended a three-fight losing streak stunningly at UFC 250. His astonishing KO saw his stock rise, and he rose to third in the bantamweight rankings. Yet, he elected to move to flyweight and got rewarded with a title shot.
‘No Love’ is a former bantamweight champion and holds a win over divisional legend Dominick Cruz. He has been in the crosshairs of Sean O’Malley ever since UFC 250.
However, following the UFC’s announcement, ‘No Love’ will feature heavily as a target for the ‘King of Cringe.’
