Media Henry Cejudo Teases Fight vs Pantoja For Flyweight Title

[Black9]

You guys into it?

(Happens round 6 min and sprinkles it throughout)

 

[rjmbrd]

What year is this?

Henry isn't relevant.

 

[Conor Strickland]

Is he gonna make 125 again tho?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

At this point, we can safely dismiss anything said on this podcast as engagement bait.

 

[wisdom blows]

Too old, too slow now. Henry wasted 3 years of his prime for no reason at all. Went from someone who had top 10 GOAT potential to now just another great fighter like many other great fighters.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Sure, because his comeback so far has been very successful

 

[Dr Fong]

Well, he's only fought twice in nearly five years, both of which were losses.

So of course he should get a title shot according to UFC matchmaking.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

"Triple C might slide in" isn't even a rumor for this fight.

Honestly considering the extremely slim pickings at Flyweight.

Anyone who has a relevant name could probably slide in for a title shot at this point.

Henry thinks we care about this just like we cared about his "retirement"

 

[Substance Abuse]

Kindly fuck off, Henry.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Prediction: Henry loses then bounces back up to bantamweight and calls out another top contender, no one cares enough to fight him and he quietly retires without getting another fight.

 

[MigitAs]

If true Triple C won’t last a round

 

[Karate Kid]

a bit tone deaf of Cejudo to tease as if his comeback has not been a massive failure so why would it arouse any interest? the image of being being carried like an infant by Merab will never escape my mind it was that absurd.

 

[Safton]

On-paper he matches up incredibly well against Pantoja... in his prime. He's not in his prime anymore. That was somewhat apparent even up at 135. He doesn't look awful or anything -- the dude's still a serviceable fighter and all -- but he has clearly lost a step. Now the idea is to ask him to cut massive amounts of weight late in life to go back to 125 when the mere idea of doing so from Joe caused him to basically laugh out loud with incredulity during a post-fight interview not so long ago? Yeah, I don't see it.

I'm not saying the UFC wouldn't be desperate enough to entertain the idea just to give Pantoja someone to fight, but even if Henry did somehow make 125 I would expect him to be so compromised that Alexandre finishes him early or dominates him across the stretch.

 

[Sycho Sid]

Cejudo has not lookrf too bad in his losses against the top of the division. If he would actually fight instead of this nonsense, his return may have been more well received

 

[Swamp Rat Jones]

This is as relevant as Ben Askren teasing a comeback.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Henry is always relevant!
We tend to forget that no one learns and trains better then him just because of his brutal unlikability.
Very hard man to like. But he could probably make it an interesting fight for the huge amount of money the UFC will never pay him.
Ego really fucked things up for him. But I want to see the fight!

 

[Elvis.]

I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing it , admittedly he doesn’t deserve it , hasn’t won a fight in almost 5 years , never lost the fw title but hasn’t fought in that division in almost 6 years .
But he’s 37 so the UFC’s window to exploit him is closing, if the could use him to steal 1 last ppv they will be all for it

Wallish Willy took his soul, and Pantoja might send him back to retirement.
