Henry Cejudo has jokingly leapt to Conor McGregor's defence after Jose Aldo accused him of taking a "fake retirement" to raise his purses in the UFC.
Cejudo recently revealed he is planning to make a return to the promotion having retired with victory over Dominick Cruz in 2020. 'Triple C' announced his re-enrolment in the USADA testing pool, and has called for fights which will allow him to become the promotion's first triple champion.
Aldo recently fired a dig at Cejudo on social media over his planned return, tweeting after his call-out to champion Aljamain Sterling: "We are currently the two best bantamweights in the UFC. The other one is a clown who faked his retirement just to try to raise his purse - as that did not work now he wants to fight for the title after spending two years out of the game (and out of the USADA’s pool).
