Conor McGregor mocked Henry Cejudo after his loss to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288 in a video where he praised Sterling for the win and called Cejudo out for his limited experience.
Conor McGregor, the former two-division champion in the UFC, took a jab at Henry Cejudo following his loss to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288. Cejudo had returned from a three-year retirement to challenge the current bantamweight champion. Despite a competitive fight, Sterling was declared the winner by a split decision from the New Jersey judges.
After the fight, McGregor released a video mocking Cejudo and praising Sterling for earning some easy money and new clothes. He took to Twitter to further criticize Cejudo, stating that the fight was a source of “easy money,” and that the guy should give it a rest with his constant agendas.
McGregor has never been one to shy away from the spotlight or an opportunity to make a witty remark. In this case, he took the chance to add fuel to the fire, downplaying Cejudo’s career accomplishments by pointing out that he had less than 20 fights to his name.
It’s clear that McGregor keeps a close eye on his former colleagues in the UFC and is always ready to make his opinions known, especially when it comes to his fellow fighters and their performances. His comments on Cejudo’s loss show that he still knows how to get the fans talking and keep the attention on himself.
