Henry Cejudo is retired, but if he were to return to fighting he wouldn’t want to do it like Georges St-Pierre.

Henry Cejudo has been teasing the desire to return recently. He has been on the sidelines since he decided to retire from MMA back in May of 2020. Even though he was out of the sport, he has kept a close eye on the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. He maintained that he could return and face any champion at any time. Now, he is targeting featherweight champ, Alexander Volkanovski.

Cejudo wants to set up a fight with Volkanovski and gain a title in his third UFC division. Cejudo is embracing the difficulty in this prospect and spoke to ESPN about this desire and why he would look to possibly return against such a tough champion.

“I ain’t no Georges St-Pierre where I’m gonna go in there, cherry-pick Michael Bisping, and then take off,” Cejudo told ESPN. “GSP, he cherry-picked Michael Bisping, and I’ll tell that to his face too, I’mma tell him, ‘Hey man! You cherry-picked and you left!’ With me, I’m going up against the No. 3 pound-for-pound best fighter, probably the greatest featherweight in history. I either beat him or I get my ass beat, I’m taking that chance.”

Cejudo is of course referring to the fact that St-Pierre returned from a three-year retirement to face Bisping at a higher weight class than he previously fought at. At the time Tyron Woodley was the champion of the welterweight division. Many believed that St-Pierre was trying to duck Woodley by choosing to move to middleweight and face Bisping.

All of this is just talk as of now, but Cejudo seems serious about wanting this bout against Volkanovski. He is mentioning it more and more. He is willing to go through with training for a title fight and making history if the UFC wants to play ball. In the meantime, Cejudo is busy helping other champions stay ready.

“I promise you, Alexander the average wouldn’t last more than three rounds with Triple C,” Cejudo said. “I will come out of retirement if Dana White wants to see the fight if he wants to see history.”

Do you want to see Henry Cejudo return to the UFC and face Alexander Volkanovski?

Derek Brunson Says Darren Till’s Team Was Lying About A Torn ACL

Derek Brunson

Derek Brunson highly doubts the legitimacy of Darren Till tore his ACL prior to their meeting at UFC Fight Night 191.

Brunson was a guest on Ariel Helwani’s ‘The MMA Hour’ and spoke his mind about many things. He talked about his prior fight with Israel Adesanya but, he touched on his latest fight against Darren Till. Brunson won that main event matchup against Till via third-round submission. There weren’t many points in the fight that trended toward Till either.

After the fight, Till’s coach Colin Heron claimed that Till had fought with a torn ACL and he urged ‘The Gorilla’ not to fight. Heron claimed that Till tore his ACL 9 weeks before the fight and was in no place to be fighting that quick.

Brunson had his own thoughts about the possibility of Till having a torn ACL going into the fight, “Listen, I don’t care about none of that. Till is the pull-out king. If he was that injured, he would have pulled out. Till was doing hang cleans and squats and deadlifts like two weeks ago. He didn’t tear his ACL. And he never said that; that’s what his coach said. I saw him at the UFC Institute, man. He was doing box jumps, hang cleans, squats, all of that.” (Sportskeeda)

Derek Brunson has caught the middleweight challengers’ attention, as he may be next in line for a possible title fight after the Whittaker vs Adesanya fight. The only obstacle standing in the way of Brunson’s claim at a title shot is Jared Cannonier. Both of these men have been beating anyone that has been put in front of them. Cannonier’s most recent win was over Kelvin Gastelum( The closest a middleweight fighter has come to beating Izzy).

Do you agree with Derek Brunson? Is Darren Till’s coach lying about the scouser suffering a torn ACL?

VIDEO | Robbie Lawler Asks Nick Diaz If He’s ‘Good In Life’, Offers To Help Him

Footage has emerged post-UFC 266 — which shows former undisputed welterweight champion, Robbie Lawler consoling former title challenger, Nick Diaz off the back of his rematch knockout victory earlier this month — offering his help to the Stockton native if he is struggling with life outside of the sport.

Earlier this month, Lawler, a former undisputed welterweight champion, with two successful title defenses, managed to avenge an April 2004 knockout loss to Californian favorite, Diaz, with the latter retiring from the fight in the third round, having suffered what appears to be broken nose.

Making his first Octagon walk since January 2015 in the rematch, Diaz expressed his displeasure at the fact he was matched with Lawler for the second time in his career, explaining how he had no idea how the re-run had come together, and how he had had a split with his management during his fight camp. Early in the week, Diaz also requested the bout be moved from the initially agreed welterweight limit to the middleweight limit — a request which was accepted.

Suffering just the third TKO loss of his professional career, Diaz embraced with Lawler immediately post-fight after he was beckoned to return to his feet by referee, Jason Herzog — with the two exchanging words as officials entered the Octagon.

In footage released by the UFC as part of their The Trill and The Agony series, Lawler offers his help to Diaz, as well as asking him if everything was good in his personal life.

Are you good?” Robbie Lawler asked Diaz. “Are you good in life? That’s f*cking different. Let’s f*cking get there, you know what I’m saying.

Diaz’s response to Lawler’s questions and encouragement are not audible and he is now facing the filming camera, however, Lawler replies with, “Let me f*cking know if I can help.

During his post-fight interview with former two-weight UFC champion and color commentator, Daniel Cormier, Diaz claimed that he “had it coming” against Lawler, and that he did not want to make “a mess” in the Octagon as blood spilled from his nose. 

I’m glad I at least put on a show,” Diaz said. “I knew I had it coming, Old Rob (Robbie Lawler). I had a lot of stress coming into this one, especially being off for a long time. I don’t have no excuses, I had a long time off and I knew I had it coming.

‘I know I am right’ – Khabib doubles down on controversial ring girl comments

Retired former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov addresses some comments he made about the presence of ring girls in prizefighting.

A few months back, retired former UFC champion and pound-for-pound king Khabib Nurmagomedov dropped some controversial remarks about the presence of ring girls in prizefighting. Specifically, “The Eagle’s” words were “ring girls are the most useless people in martial arts.”

These comments, as expected, weren’t taken lightly. The typically celebrated former champion in Khabib was suddenly under fire. He was even called out for “sexism he was accustomed to in the Dagestani mountains.”

But if you ask the man himself, he was just speaking his mind.

“Couple month ago, someone ask me about… I have promotion. I have my own promotion Eagle Fighting Championship and someone ask about why there’s no ring girls there. I say because I think (there’s) no reason. It’s my opinion,” Khabib recently said in front of a live audience in Harrogate in the UK.

“Some people don’t agree with this, but who cares? I don’t care, because I have my opinion. Because this is my promotion and I make decision. Not Dana or not other people, you know?

“Dana can do whatever he want. I’m gonna do whatever I want. Sometime, he do something, like, I don’t understand him, too. But I never judge him. This is his decision because his name is Dana White. My name is Khabib.

“I never watch what people think about (me). If I have opinion, I just say it. That’s it.”

Khabib has always been known to speak with candor, and this is where his appeal mainly lies. He admits he tends to say a lot of “strange things” and expects the disagreements that would come his way.

“Always, I try to be myself. I know I can say lotta things, lotta good things. And people gonna like this. But I never think, ‘Oh, maybe people gonna like this or no?’ I know all the time I say lotta strange things, too. But I don’t care. This is my opinion,” he said.

“I’m born with this, I grew up with this, and I have straight my opinion. Sometimes, like, people, when I say something, they don’t agree with this. But, who cares? I don’t care because I know I am right. In my mind. Because everybody have their own views on something.”

Michael Bisping On The Bouncer That Choked Out Dillon Danis: ‘He’s A Chocolatier’

BispingMany thought the Dillon Danis news had reached its’ peak in comedic attributes, but Michael Bisping is here to tell everyone, it only gets funnier.

Bisping

Many thought the Dillon Danis news had reached its’ peak in comedic attributes, but Michael Bisping is here to tell everyone, it only gets funnier.

Last week Danis was arrested after not showing I.D at a bar in New Jersey and causing a huge scene by trying to throw a punch at the bouncer at the bar. The bouncer ended up throwing the Bellator prospect into a choke and proceeded to tap the jiu-jitsu world champion out.

Bisping is here to pour more gasoline on the fire. According to Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping, “The guy isn’t even a full time security man, he’s not a full time bouncer. He’s actually a chocolatier, that’s what he does for a living. The guy is a f***ing chocolatier, he’s a master of chocolates, that’s what he does and he was short on cash so he was doing a few hours as a doorman. He’s never done jiu-jitsu, he’s done a little bit of Krav Maga.” (Sportskeeda)

Just as you thought it couldn’t get any funnier, it does. Not only did Dillon Danis pull out a google image of himself as his I.D as a way to get into the club, he also got choked out by a pedestrian. To add to even that, he got choked out by a guy that makes chocolate! That’s like LeBron James getting dunked on by an electrician that hasn’t played basketball since his freshman year of high school.

Bisping was already taking shots at Danis earlier this past week by calling him a “broke version of Conor McGregor” among other things. He also called for Danis to flat out leave and retire from MMA as well.

The security guard has also given his full story on what happened as well recently and by all accounts, seems to be a pretty cool guy.

Could this story of Dillon Danis’s arrest get any funnier?
