MMA superstar Conor McGregor is no stranger to controversy, with his trash talking skills and aggressive personality often making headlines. Recently, McGregor posted a video on Twitter in which he mocked fellow fighter Henry Cejudo. This came as a response to comments made by Cejudo during a pre-fight interview, in which he stated that he would never coach McGregor due to his disrespectful comments about Khabib Nurmagomedov and Ali Abdelaziz, who happens to be Cejudo’s manager.
The bitter feud between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is well documented. In fact, Khabib has gone on record stating that he will never be friends with McGregor and will fight him every time they meet.
McGregor’s derogatory comments about Khabib’s family and manager Ali Abdelaziz have only added fuel to the fire, further intensifying the rivalry between the two fighters.
As it turns out, Henry Cejudo and Khabib Nurmagomedov have more in common than just being MMA fighters. They share the same manager, Ali Abdelaziz. Cejudo was not happy with McGregor’s disparaging remarks about his manager.
Which is why he refused to help McGregor in any way. McGregor’s trash-talking may have earned him some fans in the past, but it looks like he has made some enemies too.

The emotion reonated with the rest of the fans as the Tweet was well received.
Cejudo’s response
Henry Cejudo, the Olympic gold medalist and former UFC champion, laughed off Conor McGregor’s recent dig at him during his post-fight press conference. He brushed aside McGregor’s comments, saying
“I’ve got an Olympic gold medal, I’ve got two UFC belts, I’ve done it all. I’ve beaten the best of the best.”
Cejudo believes that his achievements and career resume far surpass McGregor’s, and that the Irish fighter should focus on improving his own skills rather than trying to bring others down.
He said, “Conor McGregor don’t got sh*t on my resume.”
Cejudo also expressed satisfaction with his recent fight against the UFC bantamweight champion, claiming that taking the fight to a decision after a 3-year break meant a lot.
Despite the fans booing when the judges gave their decision, Cejudo was happy with his performance. Cejudo’s confidence in his own abilities and accomplishments seem to have left him unfazed by McGregor’s trash talk.
