Henry Cejudo Warns Sean O’Malley

Former UFC double champion and outspoken Henry Cejudo is back at his usual antics. After teasing a return to the octagon for almost two years now, the American fighter has taken aim at one of his usual targets. Sean O’Malley, one of the contenders in the bantamweight division, tweeted, “I’m the Champ and it feels great.”

To this, Cejudo replied by pointing out all the advantages he has over O’Malley and took digs at O’Malley by calling him a meth head and saying he has nothing but blind judges and tattoos on his side.

Hey @SugaSeanMMA I have the advantage in Wrestling, Striking and Cardio…you have the advantage in Meth, Blind Judges and 69 Tattoos. See you soon hoe! https://t.co/y1FAuwcZLa
