Seriously.

Only Conor can fake retire for more money.

GSP really retired and came back once.

If he wanted money he should have defended!

Defending champions make the most money!!

This guy drives me nuts. I actually like him.

I’m a Cejudo fan. I want to see him fight Max Holloway. That’s a BANGER!!

It’s like fake breaking up with a girl who doesn’t even like you that much.
 
No he DID retire early, the bit he faked was an interest in competing and making more money - amiright!
 
I don't get this Cejudo hype. Lost twice to DJ in 125, beat skeletor TJ and then avoided all the top fighters at 135. He was just calling out the big names only, wanted Aldo, fought Cruz and then "retired" before Yan, Sterling and Sandhagen could fight him.

And now you guys want "Cejudo Vs Holloway" at 145? Do you guys are aware that one is 5'11'' and the other is 5'4'', right? What a freakshow...

That’s why I want to see it. It’s epicz

How much more money is he asking for? Fucking Dana should just pay him. Yan vs Cejudo would be sick.
 
You ever had a job that you really didn't like and felt underpaid while doing it?

He played himself. And you could see exactly what happened in the octagon after his last win when he announced it.

Dana’s standing there with a look of frustration like “this fuckin guy”.

Idk. I don’t have any inside info but just from reading the room it looked to me like Cejudo negotiated, didn’t get what he wanted, got his when then thought he’d put pressure on them.

the thing is there wasn’t really a next “big” fight for him unless figgy had gone on a run. So fans were kind of like “ok”. I mean, Petr Yan, one of the most exciting 135ers in the history of the sport was just waiting in the wings. It was almost like instead of it being a painful exit, he cleared the way for guys who draw just as much.

He played himself because he over committed to his own bluff and now he’s stuck with it. And it was obvious from how he acted on social media literally the very next week, he never wanted to retire. He was picking fights literally the next week.
 
Right. He had ppv points going strong, now he has none & no pay raise. He fumbled the bag so badly.

Fans & media would have been clamoring for Cejudo vs Yan after Yan beat Aldo, would have been a big fight. Still could be. Personally Cejudo vs Yan is the fight I would most like to see in the UFC at the moment.

Yes. So I worked really hard and I went to my boss and asked for a raise (in addition to annual raises) when I was on a hot streak. I got half of what I wanted, and then I left the company a year later for a better job that was offered to me.

It worked out really well for me. Can you imagine if I went into my bosses office and had retired when they only gave me half of what I wanted? I would have lost so much money.

My theory is that he meant it when he first retired but then changed his mind after sitting around being bored as fuck.

Didn't he split with his girlfriend after they were all ready to settle down or something? I am pretty harsh on him to be honest , but it's only because of the crap he talks. He has called out everyone and crapped on people putting on much better performances than he did. Remember Yan vs Aldo? The crap he talked after that absolute war is when he lost me.

Max and Volk would destroy him.

If he wants to come back it should be at 135, he should also have to fight a contender there IMO.
No immediate title shots, 135 has too many fighters waiting in line after he vacated and the whole Aljo/Yan debacle slowed it down even more.

Fight TJ, Aldo, Sandhagen, Merab, Font/Chito, etc.

I did this and started my own business after I quit. Haven't worked for anyone else since and the money I did "lose", I've made it back tenfold over the past 5 years.

I bet on myself which I assume is what he essentially was doing.
