Former UFC two-division champions Henry Cejudo and Conor McGregor continue to chirp at each other.
Cejudo couldn’t help but put his coaching hat on Tuesday when he commented on a video McGregor posted of himself hitting pads at his Crumlin Boxing Club in Dublin. Cejudo was not impressed by what he saw.
“Everything is done naked. No fakes, no faints, no level changes. But you think your [sic] going to get a different result,” Cejudo tweeted. “You work to [sic] much on combinations where you should be working entries, set ups, and setting traps. Just a tip from the goat 
mahhhh.”

McGregor fired back hours later, reminding Cejudo of his knockout wins across featherweight, lightweight and welterweight in the UFC.
“The opening punches are the traps/feints/fakes. You ever hear or see that before?” McGregor tweeted. “Your little feints won’t draw me out, kid. But pump a few real shots you might get a response. You are a little fat novice with about 2 ko’s [sic]. At bantam [sic]. I’ve 20. Across 3 divisions. Quiet, you bum!”

Cejudo, who will corner Chan Sung Jung on Saturday in his title fight against featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 273, has successfully assumed a coaching role since retiring in May 2020. But Cejudo has teased a potential return on multiple occasions, and it isn’t the first time he’s taken aim at McGregor.
“Triple C” has reiterated that he won’t return unless he’s paid what he believes he’s worth which is why it’s no surprise to see him poke at the sport’s biggest draw in recent weeks.
Shut up U Little fart

“The same reason why you let people chew that front leg @thenotoriousmma is the same reason why I would stop you. What do you say I make my comeback at 155? @danawhite #therealhistorymaker.”
@TheNotoriousMMA I know you are scared to fight me but slow down buddy. I need you to get injured during the fight..not before.
