Henry Cejudo has sent a message to UFC President Dana White in hopes of securing a fight with Alex Volkanovski.<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo (16-2 MMA) last competed in at UFC 249 in May of 2020, where he successfully defended his bantamweight strap with a TKO<\/a> victory over Dominick Cruz. Immediately following the conclusion of that contest, \u2018Triple C\u2019 would announce his retirement from the sport of mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

With that said, it did not take long for Cejudo to start flirting with the idea of making a comeback. The former Olympic gold medalist has called out multiple fighters over the past year, including reigning UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski.<\/p>\n

After the Aussie successfully defended his 145lbs title with a win over Brian Ortega at UFC 266, \u2018Triple C\u2019 took to social media to blast his performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real Alexander the Great took over the World at 20\u2026you almost got choked out by a Modelo model. I\u2019m coming for you Fun Sized Matt Serra!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Volkanovski (23-1 MMA) was quick to dismiss Cejudo\u2019s remarks, claiming he would \u201csquash the little germ\u201d, and soon after booked a trilogy fight with Max Holloway for UFC 272.<\/p>\n

However, \u2018Blessed\u2019 was forced to withdraw from the fight due to injury and now Volkanovski is in need of a new opponent.<\/p>\n

While \u2018Alex the Great\u2019 has made it clear that he wants The Korean Zombie<\/a> to replace Max Holloway at UFC 272, Henry Cejudo has other ideas.<\/p>\n

The former two-division UFC champion recently took to social media where he asked Dana White to book him against Volkanovski, this while promising he will not pull out of the fight.<\/p>\n

Hey @danawhite<\/a> give me a shot at Alex. I would never cancel. I\u2019m Mexican and we don\u2019t believe in pulling out of anything.<\/p>\n
