Former two-division UFC champion, Henry Cejudo has been eyeing up a clash against the current featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski for a while. Cejudo is ready to come out of retirement for that fight and compared himself to fellow UFC legend Georges St-Pierre. GSP fought Michael Bisping in his return to the Octagon.

Of course, I will come out of retirement. If If Dana White wants to see the fight if he wants to see history. And this is the thing Marc, I ain’t no Georges St-Pierre where I’m gonna go in there, cherry pick Michael Bisping. And then take off. GSP, he cherry picked Michael Bisping and I’ll tell that to his face too,” said Cejudo in a recent interview with ESPN.

Hey, man, you cherry-picked then you left. With me, I’m going up against the number three pound for pound best fighter, probably the greatest featherweight in history. I either beat them or I get my a** beat,” he added further.

St-Pierre fought Bisping at UFC 217 and won. He became the undisputed UFC middleweight champion in the process. However, he hasn’t defended his belt since.
