Former two division UFC champion Henry Cejudo hilariously trolled bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley on social media scoring a quick finish.
O’Malley is coming off a controversial split decision win over former titleholder Petr Yan at UFC 280 on October 22. Last weekend, at UFC 282, lightweight star Paddy Pimblett won an even more controversial decision over Jared Gordon. Cejudo suggested O’Malley face Pimblett next.
“Hey @SugaSeanMMA You should fight Paddy… the judges won’t know who to rob,” Cejudo tweeted on Thursday.

O’Malley quickly responded with a comment seemingly taking aim at Cejudo’s Mexican heritage. “Shut up and make me a burrito,” O’Malley said.

Cejudo may be the king of cringe, but like in the Olympics, “Triple C” sometimes produces gold. His response to O’Malley’s comment was swift and brutal. “I’ll make one for Petr Yan and have the Judges give it to you,” replied Cejudo.

Cejudo last fought at UFC 249 in May 2020, defeating former two-time titleholder Dominick Cruz to defend the bantamweight championship. He’s expected to face current champion Aljamain Sterling in his return in 2023. O’Malley is the top ranked contender in the 135-pound division and will likely take on the winner of the anticipated Cejudo vs. Sterling match.
