Former two-division UFC champion and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo recently talked about top bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen who he holds in very high regard.

Speaking to The Schmo, Cejudo said he was very impressed with Sandhagen, “He’s probably in my opinion, probably the best 135 pounds other than me, but he just had to learn how to bring the fight to Sandhagen. He’s got to bring the fight that said you cannot give that kid space. He’s extremely dangerous.”

“He’s got talent, but if you don’t bring the fight, he’s gonna get you because the one thing that he does know very well and that’s distance and his composure, which is you know, which is the things that I look at when I watch a fighter.” (Transcribed by Essentially Sports)

This is of course all coming after Sandhagen provided the best performance of his career recently as he knocked out Frankie Edgar with a spectacular flying knee in 28 seconds.

While Cejudo remains retired, he has been continuously training and it seems one day he’ll return to the sport where he has claimed first ballot hall of fame status. The man who never lost his 2 belts can return when and if he wants, and will be welcomed back with a slew of potential high level matchups.

Who would you like to see Henry Cejudo fight in his return to the Octagon? How do you see a Cejudo-Sandhagen fight playing out?

Deiveson Figueiredo

The trash talk between current and former UFC flyweight champions has begun as Deiveson Figueiredo responded to Henry Cejudo’s recent trash talk on Thursday.

After receiving his honors as Fighter of the Year from MMA Fighting, Flyweight champ Figueiredo gave a short speech via video with the mentioning of the former champ. The current champ noted his hopes to pull the former double champ out of retirement in 2021 for a big super fight.

Seeing the video from the campion this week, Cejudo would respond saying he’s trying to enjoy his retirement and not hear his name spoken by the “bum fighter of the year”. In response to his comments, Figuerido had the following to say.

“Hey Cejudo, look at me fatso I’m going to knock you out!!!!” Figueiredo said via a video post on Instagram. “My middle name is ‘Danger’”

“Cejudo, Once I have knocked out [Brandon] Moreno I will take your ugly pumpkin head off”

Figuerido had a historic 2020, Headlining his first UFC pay-per-view at UFC 255, the BJJ blackbelt forced a quick tap of Alex Perez with a guillotine in just under two minutes. Turning around 3 weeks later, Figueiredo would go from that successful first title defense to headlining UFC 256 in a fight of the year contender against Brandon Moreno.

While we haven’t seen Cejudo since his surprise retirement fight came in May 2020 when he scored a second-round TKO over Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. He has certainly made rumblings across the sport hinting at a possible comeback.

Do you think we will see Deiveson Figueiredo vs Henry Cejudo in the future? How do you think it would play out?

Deiveson Figueiredo

Deiveson Figueiredo has called on the UFC to create a BMF belt for the lower weight classes and suggested he and former dual weight king Henry Cejudo should square off for the title.

Figueiredo enjoyed an impressive 2020 winning the 125lb belt, picking up stoppage wins in three fights as well as drawing with Brandon Moreno in one of the best fights of the year at UFC 256 in December. The Brazilian enjoyed such a bumper year he beat out Jan Blachowicz, Kevin Holland, Israel Adesanya and Khabib Nurmagomedov to be named LowKickMMA’s Fighter of the Year.

The flyweight champion suggested to MMA Fighting that the UFC should make another BMF belt that would be available to fighters in the lower weight classes, he said.

“[I want] a superfight for the ‘BMF’ belt. If the UFC wants this, I’m in. It would be another great fight to add to my game. They could do a belt between the 125 and 135 divisions, set up a weight and see who’s the baddest motherfucker in the lightweights. I want to fight Cejudo, man. He talks a lot, he’s always talking about everyone, so I want to stop this guy. I want to shut his mouth.”

Cejudo retired from fighting back in May after stopping bantamweight great Dominick Cruz inside two rounds at UFC 249. ‘Triple C’ has stayed relevant ever since by talking up match-ups with a bunch of top-level fighters across several different weight classes.

The Olympic gold medallist took to social media to suggest a fight with Figueiredo would be easy work, he wrote.

“I see you are an expert on blowing because your last fight sucked. And this is your fighter of the year @danawhite? I’d knock is ass out in 1 and that is 1 minute! #rentachamp @Daico_Deiveson”
