UFC Fans Slam Henry Cejudo’s ‘Embarrassing’ Reply to Tyson Fury’s Praise of Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov retired from the sport of MMA with an unblemished record of 29-0. Though the Eagle battled the injuries in his early career, he became the most dominating force in the company’s history. Nurmagomedov barely lost any rounds during his reign at LW. With 3 title defenses and 12 wins, it tied him for the most title defenses and consecutive victories at LW. Thus, making him the GOAT of the LW division.

Tyson Fury applauded Khabib’s career and said, “This man did it right. Got in & won first place medal [gold] & got out on top. Big respect @TeamKhabib.”

The former UFC Flyweight and Bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo, chimed in and replied to Fury’s tweet and said, “Where have I seen this before??? Asking for a friend Thinking face#TripleC #CombatSports Goat#C4TrophyTrophyTrophy”

Cejudo includes himself in a conversation, and it didn’t go well with the fans. He has the tendency to cite himself with any chance he gets, but this was not the moment for that.

Fans claim Cejudo is nowhere near Khabib Nurmagomedov

Henry Cejudo is an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling. He won the UFC Flyweight and Bantamweight championship and defended both the titles. Despite that, he retired from the sport of MMA too early in his career. Though Khabib also retired early, his reasons are totally different. Henry Cejudo, himself, revealed on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson that Dana White allegedly offered Khabib 100 million dollars to fight Floyd Mayweather, but the Eagle denied it.

Fans have some sharp words to say to Henry Cejudo after the latter, hopped in with an honest moment between two athletes.

One fan suggested Cejudo is jealous and commented, “lol jealousy is a bad look bruh”.

Another fan reminded Cejudo of his losses and said, “Khabib never lost Henry… 🤷🏻‍♂️”.

One fan reminded him he is looking for a comeback, whereas Khabib has retired. It said, “You are literally trying to come back.”

Henry Cejudo is no doubt one of the most accomplished combat sports athletes of all time, but disturbing an authentic moment has led to fans not realizing his greatness. Albeit, if he captures the Featherweight championship, it wouldn’t be up for debate. But he needs to fight inside the octagon to challenge Alexander Volkanovski.
