Former UFC Double champion Henry Cejudo has been in the news lately for expressing his interest in fighting UFC Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski in a short-notice title fight.
This interest from Cejudo, however, was met with a negative response from UFC President Dana White which then resulted in a to-and-fro social media battle between Dana and Cejudo. One of the tweets from Cejudo even referenced Conor McGregor which forced the Irishman to enter the conversation.
