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.

Henry Cejudo trolls Sean O’Malley yet again 

While the fight between Henry Cejudo and Bantamweight champ Aljamian Sterling has been in the works, fight fans have also been wondering as to what could be the reason behind the fight getting stalled. Sean O’Malley too in a recent interview has discussed the fight and expressed his wish to fight the winner of the matchup.

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??”

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.

Another fan felt O’Malley didn’t look like he was on PEDs

One individual even tweeted Cejudo to chill, exclaiming everyone knew O’Malley was clean.

Further, a social media user asked ‘Triple C’ to fight soon and took a dig at Sterling too.

Many disagreed with what Cejudo tweeted.

This has been one among many other funny responses from Cejudo that has left MMA fans on Twitter amused. Some fans would even believe it could serve as a great promotion for a future match-up between these two.

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.

On the other hand, facing a loss in the comeback fight could be the worst possible scenario for the former champ. Although it could open up numerous other entertaining matchups for the division. Chito Vera, Petr Yan, and Cory Sandhagen are possible names that could also pose a tough challenge for Cejudo.
