Urijah Faber and Henry Cejudo seem to have a mutual interest in hyping up a potential fight between themselves.

The possibility is certainly there. Faber comes off a stunning first-round knockout victory last night (Sat. July 13, 2019) in the co-main event of UFC Sacramento. It was Faber’s first fight back in several years after initially retiring from the sport. However, after his fight, Faber responded to Cejudo’s callout from earlier this year at UFC 238, saying he wants to face “Triple C” for the title next.

UFC President Dana White has expressed some doubt about making such a fight given Faber’s age, but the interest between the two fighters is certainly there. Speaking to Karyn Bryant and Tyron Woodley on the ESPN post-fight show, Faber said he believes his chances of fighting Cejudo next are “very good” (via BJPenn.com):

“The chances (of fighting Cejudo) are very good, I think,” Faber said. “In 2016 I left as a top contender. I was ranked No. 2 after I lost to Jimmie Rivera. I came out on a win (over Brad Pickett) and left as a championship fighter.

“It’s about matchups. Dominick Cruz is a tough matchup. He’s awkward and he’s gotten better with time. Henry broke and out-conditioned Marlon Moraes (at UFC 238). I’m not the kind of guy who will ever break. My BJJ is definitely better than Henry’s and I love to wrestle. I think it’s a good matchup.”

Faber isn’t the only name Cejudo called out after UFC 238, however. “The King Of Cringe” also called for fights against Cody Garbrandt and Dominick Cruz. It will be interesting to see who Cejudo faces next upon his return from injury next year.

What do you think about Faber claiming he thinks the chances are “very good” that he fights Cejudo next?

Henry Cejudo Calls Out ‘Corn-Rolled Princess’ Urijah Faber

Henry Cejudo might just get his wish after all. Following his 135-pound title victory at UFC 238 earlier this year, “The King Of Cringe” called out UFC Hall Of Famer Urijah Faber, who was retired from mixed martial arts (MMA) at the time. However, Faber recently came out of retirement last night (Sat. July 13, […]

Henry Cejudo might just get his wish after all. Following his 135-pound title victory at UFC 238 earlier this year, “The King Of Cringe” called out UFC Hall Of Famer Urijah Faber, who was retired from mixed martial arts (MMA) at the time.

However, Faber recently came out of retirement last night (Sat. July 13, 2019), picking up a first-round knockout victory over young up-and-comer Ricky Simon. After the fight, Faber accepted Cejudo’s challenge, and made it clear he’s going after the bantamweight title one last time.

Following Faber’s win, Cejudo took to Twitter to respond to “The California Kid’s” post-fight comments. Here’s what “Triple C” had to say:

“Careful what you wish for my corn-rolled princess. You could be the next legend to bend the knee to Triple C.”

Currently, Cejudo is recovering from shoulder surgery and will likely be out-of-action for the remainder of the year. He could potentially be back inside the Octagon to defend one of his two titles in the first quarter of 2019. Faber certainly makes an argument for a title shot, but UFC President Dana White has expressed his doubts about such a matchup in the past.

Other worthy contenders await at bantamweight as well, such as Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan. Cejudo’s next fight is certainly an interesting topic of discussion amongst the MMA community. Only time will tell what’s next for the double champ.

What do you think about a potential matchup between Cejudo and Faber for the bantamweight title?
