Former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo has channeled his inner Undertaker whilst discussing his return and Aljamain Sterling.
Cejudo re-entered the USADA testing pool earlier this year and made bold claims whilst doing so. According to 'Triple C,' he intends to return to the octagon after his two-year absence and recapture the flyweight and bantamweight titles, as well as make a run in the featherweight division.
The Olympic gold medalist has also regularly called out and criticized 'Funk Master' whilst he's held the 135 lbs title. The pair are expected to meet inside the octagon sometime next year.

With that in mind, the 'King of Cringe' was recently interviewed by Helen Yee and couldn't help but channel WWE's 'The Deadman' as he yet again took a shot at Sterling:
"I'm a little suprised [That Sterling still holds the title]. I thought he'd be a gatekeeper but he happens to be champion now and there's something good that he's doing...I'm here to dismantle that. I think there's a lot of flaws in his game. As much as he does have some strengths, I think there's a lot of flaws and I see them and I think it's a great match-up for me."

Henry Cejudo reveals details about his comeback discussions with the UFC
Whilst Henry Cejudo certainly talks a big game and has the fighting credentials to back himself up, the 35-year-old has been unable to make his UFC return happen as swiftly as he'd have liked.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the former double champ explained that UFC negotiations aren't as simple as many fans think. 'Triple C' stated that there are three parties involved whilst discussing his new deal: himself, the champion, and the UFC:
"The ball is not in my court now. There's two things that you guys need to understand with the UFC in the negotiation. There's three people that play parts; the contender, the champion, and the UFC."
Cejudo added:
"When it comes to the only person that could really play the role as a contender and happens to just be a Conor McGregor. The only one in UFC history but that being said, it's the UFC and the champion. When they're able to come to terms, they bring in the third party, which is the contender, and now the fight has to happen."
The latest rumors have suggested that the UFC is working to book Henry Cejudo vs. Aljamain Sterling in March, should Cejudo successfully sign a new contract.
