Former UFC double champ Henry Cejudo has been going off on his Bantamweight counterparts on Twitter for quite some time now. The 35-year-old has been going back and forth particularly with Sean O’Malley recently and Cejudo had a hilarious response to one of O’Malley’s tweets aimed at the former Olympic medalist. Fans were also quick to raise questions about Cejudo’s use of the term ‘Roid Rage’ comparing O’Malley to Conor McGregor.

The 28-year-old has on multiple occasions called out Cejudo, taking jibes at the former Olympian. In his recent tweet, referencing the Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo fight, he tweeted “How fast would @TheNotorious MMA beat Henry Cejudo? Faster than Aldo??”
You two should start at Tag Team called “Roid Rage” https://t.co/OGhTq75j6i

Cejudo clapped back at ‘Suga’, suggesting he and ‘The Notorious’ should start a tag team and name it “Roid Rage”. The last part could have left fans a bit confused, and even bewildered since O’Malley is not usually accused of PED usage or anything along those lines.
“You two should start a Tag Team called “Roid Rage” read Henry’s tweet taking a sly dig at McGregor as well.
Fans were quick to take notice of it. A few social media users were not impressed with the joke and called out the 35-year-old for cracking an unfunny one.
Your replies are usually nice. O'Malley on roids? Swing and a miss…

A potential match-up between Cejudo and current champ Aljamain Sterling has been touted multiple times, but not much progress seems to have been made. The fight will mark the former double champ’s return to the octagon after a hiatus of more than two years when he beat Dominic Cruz. Winning the title back from Sterling would be the start of another new era of ‘Triple C’ as Cejudo likes to call himself.
