Conor McGregor offers support to UFC rival Henry Cejudo after Twitter feud

Conor McGregor has told Henry Cejudo to "dust it off and come back" after his UFC loss to Aljamain Sterling this past weekend.

Cejudo, 36, fought for the first time in three years when he challenged bantamweight champion Sterling at UFC 288 but came up short by losing a split decision. McGregor and Cejudo had ignited a feud before the event having traded words on social media for several months, with Cejudo even vowing to change weight class to secure a fight against the Irishman.

McGregor gloated after Cejudo's defeat by revealing he placed a winning bet on the former two-weight champion to lose his fight, posting a video of his new designer buys with the winnings. In a recent vlog on his YouTube channel, Cejudo could be seen laughing at McGregor's tweet and McGregor has now responded to his rival by writing: “Haha my pleasure! Good fight. Dust it off and come back. God bless”
