Retired UFC star Henry Cejudo has taken a shot at Marlon Vera and Sean O’Malley in a hilarious post on Twitter. The former Olympic gold medalist is looking to make a comeback to the octagon. And as far as the rumor goes, he will be taking on Aljamain Sterling for the UFC Bantamweight Championship.

Henry Cejudo had first wanted to fight Sean O’Malley for the Interim bantamweight title. It came in the wake of Aljamain Sterling‘s decision to take a break till June 2023. But ‘Suga’ made a social media post claiming that he would rather fight someone who deserves a match, mentioning Marlon Vera, who had been the only fighter to have beaten O’Malley.

O’Malley recently tweeted to Marlon Vera, and asked, How much do you weigh?” ‘Chito’ hilariously replied, “Less than s**tjudo.” 

Henry Cejudo replied to Vera‘s tweet and made a hilarious comparison of him and O’Malley to video game characters and took a shot at Vera‘s head tattoo. He wrote, “Cheeto the only thing worse than your sh*t-talking is the Giant P***y tattoo on the back of your skull. You and Ronald MethDonald [O’Malley] look like extras out of Grand Theft Auto: Fremont Street.” The fighters have taken a lot of shots at each on social media for a long time.

The former double champion also believes that Cory Sandhagen will come out on top against Marlon Vera in their upcoming fight next year. Cejudo claims that ‘Chito’ is not capable of out-striking a fighter like Sandhagen.

‘Triple C’ predicts that he will be easily able to defeat the current UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling. Cejudo also said that Sterling would not be able to get past three rounds against him. Here’s what he said in a recent youtube video he posted on his channel: “The ‘Chump’ is what I call Aljamain Sterling. Going out to Jamaica for a month, out there chasing girls, getting fat, sipping on Hennessy.” Cejudo added, “Him talking about going up to 145 pounds. It lets you know where his attitude is. When I smell something like that, I know I’m finishing him. I know he ain’t going past three rounds.”

Being an Olympic winner, Cejudo is the most suitable fighter to counter Sterling, who focuses on grappling more than striking. But the match has not been yet confirmed, considering that Sterling doesn’t plan to fight until June. But Marlon Vera has warned ‘Triple C’ that his return to UFC may not be a fairytale comeback.
