Conor McGregor looks set to return to the UFC later this year and it's currently unclear who he should face next. Henry Cejudo is set to make his return as well and he has an idea on whom McGregor should fight next.

Henry Cejudo actually wants to see Conor McGregor fight Tony Ferguson once he returns to the UFC. The two have been in talks to fight in the past and it seems like a fight now could potentially make some sense for both.

“I like the Tony Ferguson fight for him. I think that fight is winnable for Conor,” Cejudo said on “The Triple C & Schmo Show.” “He cannot be taking these high-level competitions. He’s gonna get hurt. He’s gonna continue to keep getting hurt. I think, he goes up with Tony and then maybe – of course he’s a cash cow – give him whoever he wants at 55 or 70, but I think he needs to get his feet wet. At least fucking win, man. Win a damn fight.”

Henry Cejudo went on to fire shots at Conor McGregor and didn't hold back on the former UFC champion. He was very critical of his wrestling game and his decline since he returned back in 2018.

“It’s crazy because there’s a lot of flaws that he has,” Cejudo said. “As good as he was in the past, there’s still a lot of flaws that he has that he’s still not fixing. So I’m still not sold on that chump.”

He continued, “Show some damn wrestling, show takedown defense. If I was Conor McGregor with all that money that you have, have somebody to live with you full time where they’re with you, they’re dissecting you, and they’re making wrestling fun. He needs to find a teacher that could really teach him. Not a coach, a teacher. And then once you find that teacher that can really teach him, and then you put it into practice where you’re actually going live and things of that nature.”
