Sean O'Malley has recently spoken out on the rumored return of Henry Cejudo to the UFC. The former two-division champion wants to face Alex Volkanovski for the featherweight championship.
Sean O'Malley is paying attention as he is hoping to become a title contender at bantamweight. The UFC star admitted the fight was actually a very interesting one.
“That’s a super interesting fight,” O’Malley told MMA reporter Helen Yee (h/t BJPenn.com) “Both dudes, shorter guys, stalky. It’s a super, super interesting fight. You can’t count Henry out, he’s done the things he’s done, he’s a super good competitor. You just can’t really count him out but I don’t know if I see him going in there and taking out Volkanovski.”
“Volkanovski has got to be up there, pound for pound top 3 right now, top 2 maybe even,” O’Malley added. “He’s super active and has beaten the top, top guys, Max, Zombie, Ortega. Henry has got a completely different style than all of those guys, similar style to Volkanovski.”
Henry Cejudo has still been training according to Sean O'Malley and he expects the former UFC champion to have a lot of success when he comes back. Winning the featherweight title is a tall order though considering how good Alex Volkanovski is.
“Henry will focus on his fight and training. He never stopped training. I truly believe Henry can come back to win the 135 [bantamweight] title and go up to 145 [featherweight] and win that. He will be the only fighter in UFC history to win three world titles.”
