Henry Cejudo and Dillon Danis spar online over ‘midget’ former two-division champ’s White House visit

Two of MMA’s most polarizing stars, Henry Cejudo and Dillon Danis, went at it on social media over Cejudo’s trip to the White House.

Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo hung up the gloves following a loss to Payton Talbott at UFC 323 in December. Cejudo, one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, opted to walk away to conclude the second chapter of his career in the Octagon.

Since retirement, Cejudo has remained active in and out of combat sports and will return to his roots in an upcoming Real American Freestyle wrestling showdown against Urijah Faber. Along with his accomplishments inside the Octagon, Cejudo was one of the most polarizing personalities outside of it, due to his ‘cringe’ persona.

After Cejudo received an invite to the White House in Washington, D.C., it didn’t take long for one of his fellow polarizing personalities to weigh in.

“Touring the White House was one of my greatest honors,” Cejudo posted.

“It was incredible to take in all of the rich history.”

It didn’t take long for the controversial Dillon Danis to mock the UFC legend, as he did in a tweeted reply.

“Are you the first midget to step foot in the white house?!” Danis asked.

Cejudo hit back at Danis by throwing a question back to him.

“Are you the first person banned from UFC events for getting your a– beat in the crowd?” Cejudo responded.

Cejudo referenced Danis’ recent permanent ban from UFC events after a viral Octagonside brawl with several Dagestani fighters at Madison Square Garden. Afterwards, UFC CEO Dana White promised that Danis wouldn’t be permitted to attend an event again following the incident.
