Veteran fighter Hunter Azure came up short against Team McGregor’s Rico DiScuillo as the fight ended in a wild fashion. DiScuillo knocked out Hunter Azure and rescued his team from the sweep, which definitely thrilled Conor McGregor.
‘Notorious’ couldn’t keep his calm as he ran across the arena to celebrate the win. However. Former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo still found a way to mock the Irishman.
Cejudo took to Twitter, responding to a video showing Conor McGregor’s celebration from TUF 31 Episode 8.
He wrote, “[Conor McGregor] wasn’t actually running to celebrate the win..his coke dealer arrived and he had to meet him out back.”
The cheeky take on McGregor made the Internet go into a frenzy. Henry Cejudo and Conor McGregor have never shared a friendly bond.
Henry Cejudo has been a training partner to Conor McGregor’s arch-rival Khabib Nurmagomedov for several years. Hence, ‘Triple C’ and ‘Notorious’ have spat verbal venom at each other on several occasions.
With the latest rant coming from Cejudo’s side. Conor McGregor still hasn’t given any reaction to it. While McGregor is expected to make his fighting return soon, he hasn’t enlisted himself into the USADA pool yet.

When Can Conor McGregor Fight Next?
Conor McGregor is unofficially aligned to meet Michael Chandler on his UFC return. The dynamic fight has been the talk of the town for months.
The ongoing UF 31 between both the fighters has also intensified their potential clash inside the octagon. However, it is unclear whether that bout will happen in 2023 or not.
Dana White has seemed optimistic about staging it this year, but McGregor’s absence from USADA testing can shatter the plans. That said, ‘Notorious’ has claimed to make his UFC comeback pretty soon, and that brings a lifeline to his chances of facing Chandler shortly.
