Henry Cejudo claims Conor McGregor ‘taking pages from WWE’ for fight promotion

Conor McGregor is back in the scene and he has trolled a bunch of fighters left and right. One of the top UFC contenders who caught the heat was former champion Kamaru Usman. Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman talked about McGregor’s statement on their podcast.

Conor's f------ trolling you. ... The only reason that could be is because he is that blue-eyed Devil! Henry Cejudo on Pound 4 Pound

Cejudo said that in order for McGregor to sell the fights that nobody else could sell, he has to continue being the ‘bad boy’. However, Cejudo pointed out how McGregor was able to switch it up and be respectful when he fought Hall Of Famer, Donald Cerrone. According to Cejudo, McGregor was ‘taking pages straight from the WWE’ when it came to promoting his fights.

Cejudo said it all depends on how Kamaru Usman would take McGregor’s comments. He acknowledged that nobody would want to be called a ‘bum’ at the end of the day. However, Usman too had some interesting things to say about McGregor’s trash-talking.
