Following Sean O’Malley’s second straight loss to Merab Dvalishvili for the bantamweight title, former 2-division chmap Henry Cejudo called out O’Malley saying he wants to fight him in a retirement “tune up” fight.

Cejudo has been targeting O’Malley for some time. The former two-division champion retired in 2020 before returning in 2023. However, his comeback has been challenging. Since stepping back into the octagon, Cejudo has lost three in a row. Cejudo’s last bout was a technical decision loss to Song Yadong.

The fight was stopped after the third round due to repeated eye pokes, which left him with vision issues. Despite the fouls, Yadong was awarded the win since no point deductions were made. Now, with his UFC future in question, the former double champ is eyeing a “tune-up” retirement fight with O’Malley. O’Malley’s bid to reclaim the UFC bantamweight title ended with a loss at UFC 316 against Merab Dvalishvili, as Suga considers his next steps, paving the way for a Cejudo fight.

“Hey Sean – you should’ve stroked the cord before the fight and let your wife’s bf record it. Anyways, I’m still looking for a tune up. Siblings fight all the time – let’s give Merab a Father’s Day present he will never forget. What do you say precious? @SugaSeanMMA,” Cejudo said
