When Henry Cejudo became the UFC flyweight champion back in 2018, the division was in a very difficult position. Demetrious Johnson had been such a dominant champion that the weight class didn’t feel competitive or exciting, at least as far as the UFC was concerned.

Former two-division UFC world champion Henry Cejudo has some choice words for the former dual weight champ-champ Conor McGregor after his recent bike accident.
On Friday, Irish-born superstar Conor McGregor shared on Social Media that he was struck by a car while riding his bike. Luckily, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
Olympic wrestling gold medalist Henry Cejudo has had a long history of trash talk against ‘Notorious,’ and added a little more in a recent Tweet. Henry Cejudo shared:
“Glad you are ok. Heard you were on a bike because you ran out of gas. [Conor McGregor]”
Conor McGregor and Henry Cejudo
The two former double champs have shared back-and-forth trash talk on Social Media in the past. Cejduo previously said:
“Conor McGregor needs to take his training seriously if he ever wants to contend again. Wasn’t he the one that said precision beats power? Get back to that Conor. Full episode of “Fight Feedback” featuring McGregor up on my YouTube!”
“On a real note, how was that slurp from [Dillon Danis] ? Gave me the chills.”
In since-deleted Tweets, McGregor has responded by saying:
“Haha show me your head kick on the power pad, my bro … The opening punches are the traps/feints/fakes. You ever hear or see that before? Your little feints won’t draw me out, kid. But pump a few real shots you might get a response. You are a little fat novice with about 2 ko’s. At bantam. I’ve 20. Across 3 divisions. Quiet, you bum! … I’m the fuckin goat an ya know it”
Neither Conor McGregor nor Henry Cejudo have any upcoming bouts scheduled but both have been rumored to return to the UFC in 2023.

An undisputed UFC bantamweight championship fight between defending champion, Aljamain Sterling, and the returning, former undisputed flyweight and bantamweight titleholder, Henry Cejudo, is currently in the works for UFC 287 on April 8. At the time of publication, an official location, or venue for the event has yet to be determined by the organization.
Aljamain Sterling expected to fight Henry Cejudo at UFC 287
As per an initial report from MMA Fighting reporters, Damon Martin, and Mike Heck, whilst official contracts for the proposed bantamweight title fight between Aljmain Sterling and Henry Cejudo have yet to be signed on either side, however, the bout is targeted to take place on April 8.
Attempting to secure his third defense of the undisputed bantamweight crown, Aljamain Sterling most recently co-headlined UFC 280 back in October of last year against T.J. Dillashaw, stopping the Californian with a second round TKO.
For Cejudo, the former two-weight champion and Olympic gold medalist will snap his three-year Octagon hiatus and retirement at the event, having bowed out of the sport following a bantamweight title success win over Dominick Cruz in May of that year.
Previously expected to return to active competition as soon as March 5. at UFC 285, Sterling recently revealed the timeline would likely be less than ideal, after he suffered a bicep injury which requires further rehabilitation.
Successfully unifying the bantamweight crowns earlier last year, Uniondale native, Aljamain Sterling managed to land a split decision win over two-time foe, Petr Yan in his rematch with the Dudinka native.
Undefeated in his last six Octagon appearances prior to his 2020 retirement, Cejudo successfully landed the undisputed flyweight title in a rematch decision win over Demetrious Johnson back in August 2018, before defending in a 32-second TKO win over common-foe, Dillashaw.
Prior to his finish of Cruz to defend the bantamweight crown, Cejudo rallied to win the crown in a third round finish over Marlon Moraes at UFC 238 in 2019.
