UFC star Henry Cejudo hits back at Conor McGregor for mocking loss to Aljamian Sterling and THANKS rival for goading him
HENRY CEJUDO hit back at Conor McGregor for mocking his loss to Aljamian Sterling and THANKED him for the goading.
Sterling, 33, successfully defended his UFC bantamweight title with a split-decision victory over ex-champion Cejudo.
And in a now-deleted tweet, McGregor posted: “Easiest money I’ve ever made. Not a scratch on Aljo! Congrats Funkmaster!
“Good little fighter is Henry but give it a rest with these agendas all the time. The guy is sub 20 fights in his career.
“His little feints an’ all ahaha omg please teach me mastermind lol.
“Done the splits like a stripper and got dumped on his ass he did hahaha oh lord it’s tasty, @ProperWhiskey.”
Cejudo, 36, responded to McGregor post-fight and fired a dig of his own.
He said: “Conor McGregor don’t got s*** on my resume, that’s all I got to say.
“He’s been stopped – after a three year layoff what I was able to do and compete, hearing the boos when they announced the winner?
“That says a lot to me, but there’s still levels. I still know that I can get better, too. But guys, even selling this fight it’s okay, man.

“Bring the hate so maybe it’ll motivate me. I’m not one of these guys – yeah I’m a little p****d that I lost but I love it, so thank you, Conor.”
In a separate video, McGregor, 34, also claimed he was so confident in Sterling’s victory he spent his winnings BEFORE the bout.
He said: “Congrats, Funk Master. Great fight. I knew you were going to win that fight, my man. Easiest money I’ve ever made.
“I already went shopping in advance and everything is Gucci.”
