The former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo announced his retirement from the Octagon in May 2020 but he never misses a mark to stay in limelight since then. Many times ‘Triple C’ has teased his return and this time he is eying Max Holloway for the same.

In his latest interview with ESPN, Cejudo said he feels energized by the idea of facing Max Holloway for his potential return. Cejudo says, “I have never called out Holloway until now, Find any video where I’ve actually called out Holloway.”

“Even when he had the belt, I’ve never called out Max Holloway. He’s another fight that I feel like in the future I would love to fight. I love the fact that people do not believe that I can beat him, I think that Max Holloway’s fight because nobody would believe me, is the same reason why I would want that fight.”

“He’s taller than me. He’s inflicted a lot more damage on different people. But I feel like I’m just too smart and just too skilled. I’d love the challenge if I were to ever fight Max Holloway.”

Max Holloway lost his featherweight title to Alexander Volkanovski but Henry Cejudo wants him to win it back. Along with that he also added the points that make him think he’ll beat Holloway.

Cejudo added, “I think my IQ, I think my smartness is the difference, Of course, he has range. I would be the distance. This is the thing, man: Watch my Dominick Cruz fight.”

“Look at how much taller he is than me and look at how I was able to manage the distance, taking his legs out, the timing portion of it. I think it’s just my IQ. … I personally feel that there’s no doubt in my mind that I can beat him.”

“Now, it’s just kind of getting the opportunity (or) shot. … I would love for Max Holloway to win that belt again. I would love to go in there and fight him and to demonstrate to the world how great ‘Triple C’ is. I don’t dare to be great. I am damn great.”
