Henry Cejudo hits back at Sean O'Malley's "$37" claim with dig at rival's partner

Henry Cejudo has made a savage dig at Sean O'Malley's partner after his potential rival claimed he only has $37 in his bank account.

'Triple C' has not fought in the UFC since defeating Dominick Cruz in 2020, after which he announced his retirement having reigned as a two-weight world champion. Now, the American star is eyeing a comeback in the bantamweight division and has resumed training ahead of a potential return to the Octagon.

One option could be the bantamweight division's new leading contender, O'Malley, who recently defeated Petr Yan to make a huge leap up the rankings. Cejudo made a call-out to O'Malley on Twitter, which the latter quickly mocked during an interview on the MMA Hour.
