Cejudo tagged the UFC president Dana White in his tweet and said, “allow me to make history”. In his recent interviews ‘Triple C’ claims that he found his old spark back to compete and now he wants to become the first UFC fighter to hold the title in three different divisions.

Unfortunately, Dana White doesn’t seem so interested in this match-up, talking to the reports on Dana White contender series press conference, White says, “Listen, he retired,”

“You’ve been off all this time and now you want to come back and fight Volkanovski and jump the line and jump over Max and all these other guys that have been there? It’s a tough conversation.”

Although, the UFC president Dana White doesn’t seem that much interesting in booking the fight between Volkanovski and Cejudo. But Cejudo’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz presses Dana White to book this match and claims he is going to defeat Volkanovski.

Replying to MMA journalist, Shaheen Al-Shatti’s tweet, Abdelaziz says, “Dana White is a great promoter , great promoter put on great fights, Henry Cejudo vs Alexander Volkanovski is big fight . Henry will beat him fair and square . It’s a bad matchup for the champ . Much respect fro him.”

Abdelaziz added, “One thing I will guarantee Henry will beat him and he can go down back to bantamweight . A lot big fights out there too.”

Henry Cejudo’s team is constantly trying to get this fight booked and he will be entering the USADA pool once again for capitalizing the opportunity. Now it is going to be interested to see whether White’s stance is going to be the same in this fight or not.
