Retired MMA star Henry Cejudo is open to a sensational UFC comeback as he calls out not one but THREE current title holders.

Cejudo hasn't fought inside the famed Octagon since beating Dominick Cruz in a UFC bantamweight title fight back at UFC 249 in May 2020.

But it appears he's itching to come back having messaged UFC president Dana White on social media.

He's offered to help White, calling out UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, UFC bantamweight title holder Aljamain Sterling and UFC featherweight kingpin Alexander Volkanovski.

The former UFC double champion tweeted: "Hey @danawhite so you have a walking pez dispenser champ at 125lbs @daico_deusdaguerra a paper champion and Oscar winner @funkmastermma and a wanna be Crocodile Hunter @alexvolkanovski.

"I'm feeling generous and here to help you make America great again. #C4."

It's not the first time the 34-year-old has teased a return to action since calling it a day last year.

Speaking in February, he told The Schmo: "I gotta talk to Uncle Dana.

"You know, show me the money, and Triple C will make them all bend the knee. Alexander Volkanovski, you overgrown baboon, where is he?

"Is he up here? Give it to me, Schmo. Volkanovski overgrown baboon. I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you.

"I think he'd beat Ortega. I think his stand up and I'm going for Ortega, but I think his stand up is just a lot more solid. He's a tank, and he's shorter.

"People will never talk about how hard is to fight somebody shorter. They do not smaller limbs.

"Harder to target hit because of you know, because we're fun size.

"Anyhow, I got Alexander the average. The decision-maker, which I still feel like that's [Max] Holloway's belt.

"I see better decisions at 90-day fiance. Anyhow, they can all bend the knee."
