Rumored Cejudo contemplating retirement (again)

You can't say he pretends because he did a sport much harder than mma his whole life. He also fought mma and won 2 UFC titles and defended them. That too is also more than most mma fighters will ever achieve.

That's a pretty good career. 2 division champ, defended both and Olympic gold champion... More than anyone you can list right now lol.

His YouTube channel is also blowing up and he has fighters going to him for extra coaching and insights.

Yeah you can, it’s not really deniable, he talked about fighting them, confronted O’Malley as if he wanted to fight him, and is now admitting he never had any intention of fighting at BW, he just wants Volk or Max.

And I don’t agree wrestling is so much tougher than MMA, in a way it is, I get what you’re saying, but in MMA you have 1000x the eyes on you with the potential to get KO’d, there’s a lot more on the line. Henry came back and lost in the Olympic trials in 2012 (which might be why he is so cautious about fighting at 135 again) most people don’t know or care about that, the equivalent of that in MMA is coming back to 135 and losing to a top 15 BW, it affects your legacy a lot more.

IMO he’s scared to put his legacy on the line at BW because he knows those are very tough fights and he was pretty damn lucky to only have to beat Dom and Moraes.

Of course he has done amazing things, I’m not arguing that, but he will never get the respect he wants from the MMA community until he wins a title and defends against top contenders. I get double champ with a defense in each looks good on paper, but throughout the thread people have explained why it isn’t as impressive as it sounds.
 
and people wonder why UFC has no interest in giving him a FW title shot cause they know he only wants to come back to win third div title and leave.

Winning an Olympic gold in wrestling is FAR harder than winning a UFC title. That's not even up for debate.

Most fighters who do MMA will tell you that wrestling is the hardest thing they do for their training camp. To win a gold medal against the best around the world is incredibly hard and only one chance every 4 year... That more pressure than thousands of people watching lol.

Not disagreeing with that, you didn’t really address my points about it but ok.

So you’re saying since he won a gold medal in wrestling it’s impossible for him to pretend to want to fight people he doesn’t actually want to fight, even though he basically admitted that and you basically admitted that by calling it trolling?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say.

His goal was to always fight only for the third title . He wants to make history by being the first 3 division champ. He wanted to fight volk wayy before trolling all the other fighters. He said multiple times he only wanted to fight for the title or fight the number one contender (Holloway) to get his chance against volk.

So people are still mad at him for even saying he would earn his shot against Holloway? People get mad that he would get straight title shot against volk... So then he said I'll fight Holloway then, people still mad lolz.(people are nervous Henry can win)

He's trolling Yan , sterling ,tj and definitely suga . YOU really think he would really be scared of any of those guys? Let's be serious lol. He wants the 3rd title .
 
Should just retire from retiring all the time.
 
seriously, just retire and stop talking about it. what a drama queen he is.

It's a shame they didn't try to make the Holloway vs Cejudo fight happen. It's also a shame Cejudo never stuck around at 135lbs to fight some of the real top guys like Yan. Honestly Cejudo's whole career in many ways was a big waste, most people felt he lost to Mighty Mouse the 2nd time too.

Considering Aljo beat him with grappling ... i feel Cejudo could have done the same but better with better cardio.
 
They're scared to fight him.

And UFC is concerned he wins belt and retires again.
 
I’d like to see him fight Yair or Allen for an Interim title. Max has had his opportunities and should get one if the title changes hands again.
