Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski responded and seemingly took multiple jibes at the former 2 division champion.

If I ever comeback to MMA it’s going to be after your head your overgrown midget. I’d bet my Olympic Gold medal, my two belts and “my first girlfriend ever”, that you wouldn’t make it pass two rounds with Triple C! #bendtheknee @alexvolkanovski pic.twitter.com/k3uJzRYNIb

Along with tagging the UFC Featherweight champion, Cejudo also plugged in his iconic “bend the knee” hashtag.
Following, ‘The Messenger’s shocker at the UFC 249 co-main event, the UFC stripped him of the Bantamweight Championship. In addition to this, the company expunged him from the rankings. At the time of his retirement, Cejudo was 3rd in the pound for pound rankings only behind Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

A fight for an unprecedented UFC Championship in a 3rd weight division will surely be something to get Cejudo back to fighting. However, he will have to hope that ‘The Great’ is successful in retaining the belt against Max Holloway on Fight Island at UFC 251.
The duo is set to meet in a UFC 245 rematch where ‘Blessed’ fell victim to ‘The Great’ and lost the divisional championship.
