UFC: Henry Cejudo calls Conor McGregor a ‘wannabe good guy’ and trolls his takedown defence in tweet commemorating entry into MMA
- ‘Triple C’ Henry Cejudo celebrates seven years since starting MMA by saying he walks the walk, unlike Conor McGregor
- The Olympic gold medallist had previously said McGregor was ‘all talk, no bite’
UFC two-weight champion Henry Cejudo took a dig at Irish star Conor McGregor in a tweet commemorating his entry into MMA.
Above the screenshot, the 32-year-old Cejudo (professional MMA record 15-2) wrote: “How about this throwback! [Seven] years ago today you were warned to bend the knee to the Olympic champion now known as Triple C! I walk the walk not like that wannabe good guy Conor McGregor that can’t defend a [damn] takedown! #missionaccomplished”. Cejudo also tagged UFC president Dana White in the tweet.
Cejudo, who last fought Marlon Moraes in June last year, is on a five fight win streak in the UFC and was nominated for fighter of the year. The American stunned one of the greatest of all time, Demetrious Johnson, in 2018 and beat former champion TJ Dillashaw in just 32 seconds in January 2019.
Earlier in the week, Cejudo had retweeted lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov’s post with three photos of McGregor about to be submitted with the caption “145”, “155” and “170” pounds.
