Henry Cejudo (16-2 MMA), a former two-division title holder, who retired back in May 2020 after UFC 249, is looking at the possibility of a comeback.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks he has been angling for another title fight but he wants a raise if he’s going to get back in the cage.<\/p>\n

After Max Holloway was forced to withdraw from his scheduled trilogy fight with Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 272, \u2018Triple C\u2019 quickly offered up his services to Dana White and company.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey @danawhite give me a shot at Alex. I would never cancel. I\u2019m Mexican and we don\u2019t believe in pulling out of anything.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<\/em>Cejudo tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with MMA Junkie Radio Cejudo also commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cI would be known as C4,\u201d<\/em> Cejudo said, when he mentioned his legacy if he won the featherweight title. \u201cBut you also have to compensate because I\u2019m the person who\u2019s going to sell the fight. I\u2019m the person who is going to make it entertaining, you know? So yeah, I do want my cake and eat it too. I really do. But I also really do deserve it. If I don\u2019t get it, guys, it\u2019s OK. You guys want me to show you my trophy case once again? It\u2019s OK. I got enough of it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite his campaign efforts, Dana White and company ultimately went with the Korean Zombie<\/a> to replace Max Holloway against Alex Volkanovski.<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo reacted to White’s decision on YouTube’s ‘The Triple C & Schmo Show<\/a>‘ and shared the following advice for fellow fighters:<\/p>\n

“Man, if I also give anybody advice. The thing that I would do with the UFC that’s the only way you’re getting paid. I would run out your contract dude. Do not be silly and extend your contract for anything. There are lots of options out there, Bellator, ONE FC. The trend is going to be to start your own promotions, keep all the money, keep all the cash, own your own pay-per-view, find some investors. Do it yourself. Use your platform for social media.”<\/em><\/p>\n
