Former double Ultimate champion, Henry Cejudo officially withdrew from participating in the Petr yan in the confrontation against aljamain sterling No. UFC 273, which takes place this Saturday (9). The 'Triple C' denial came after a provocation on the part of the Russian, who gave a tip that was poorly received by the Olympic champion. After the interim bantamweight champion's comment, the American countered the attack and canceled his participation as one of the coaches.

“I hope (Henry) Cejudo and Sean O'Malley Show up in my corner on Saturday. I just need to make sure they don't give me shitty advice. Just pass me water and a towel and I'll be fine,” said Yan, in an interview with 'The MMA Hour'.
Petr's post ended up sounding disrespectful to Henry. In a new phase as a coach, the former UFC champion made a point of refuting the Russian's comment.
“Sorry, buddy. I'm not the boy who delivers water. Your knees and (Sean) O'Malley's steroids, that's a lot of illegal activity to deal with,” retorted Cejudo, in a post on Twitter.
In a historic confrontation to unify the UFC bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg), Yan ended up losing one of his coaches for the event due to visa problems. Upon learning that he would not have support from the coach, the athlete asked Cejudo for help. Ultimate pupil, Sean was another who responded to 'help'.
Sorry buddy I ain't nobody's Waterboy! Between your knees and O'Malley's steroids…it's just too much illegal activity for me to be involved in. #bendthekneepotatoface 🥔🥔🥔@PetrYanUFC https://t.co/RgXtUyWXWn
