Henry Cejudo has hit back at Conor McGregor's series of tweets after he lost his UFC comeback fight against Alajamain Sterling on Saturday night in New Jersey.
Cejudo was inches away from securing the victory in a razor-close split decision after three years out of the cage, but ultimately slumped to just his third career defeat. The former two-weight world champion was hoping to reclaim the bantamweight belt before moving up to challenge for gold at featherweight, but was stuffed at every attempt by Sterling.
And McGregor, with whom Cejudo has a very public feud, took to Twitter to share his delight after watching the bout, congratulating Sterling and declaring that he had "not a scratch". However, Cejudo refused to be particularly drawn on the issue when asked about the posts at the UFC 288 press conference, aside from one jab about his rival's CV.
