Conor McGregor savagely trolls Henry Cejudo after devastating UFC defeat

Conor McGregor has savagely trolled Henry Cejudo after the American was defeated by Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288 on Saturday night.

In his first UFC fight since 2020, Cejudo was defeated by Sterling for the UFC bantamweight title via a split decision after a five round battle.

Taking to social media after the fight's conclusion, McGregor congratulated Sterling and revealed that he had placed a bet on 'Funk Master' to retain the title.

Furthermore, McGregor took aim at Cejudo - who he has traded barbs with in the past - and trolled him for losing to Sterling.

"Alright here we go, Coach MacDaddy in the place. Congrats Funkmaster great fight. I knew you were gonna win that my man. Easiest money I’ve ever made.

"I already went shopping in advance and everything is Gucci.

"This is for you Henry. Some of the things you were doing I couldn't believe. It blew my mind."

The Notorious then went on to criticise Cejudo for doing a technique wrong, and showing how if he did it another way, it would have opened up the right-hand shot and perhaps given Cejudo an avenue for victory.

McGregor concludes the video by once again calling himself coach MacDaddy, proclaiming that he doesn't command a fee 'because I'm already set.'
