For a man who claims to be retired, Henry Cejudo's name just can't seem to stay out of the news cycle.
The former flyweight and bantamweight champion continues to see his name attached to some big-name fights, and he was the target of a call-out from boxer Ryan Garcia in May.
The 21-year-old boxer and Cejudo have gone back-and-forth on social media, with the former MMA star calling Garcia an "Oscar De La Hoya wannabe" after he asked his followers if Cejudo could give him a good boxing match in May.
More than a month later, Garcia hasn't forgotten the Twitter beef. Speaking to Ariel Helwani of ESPN, he said he would be open to a fight in either the Octagon or a boxing ring.
Garcia competes at 135 pounds in boxing which also happens to be one of the divisions that Cejudo sat atop of before revealing his retirement.
He relinquished his belt after his victory over Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 in May.
It is not surprising that Cejudo would try to pick a crossover fight with a well-known name in the boxing world. At 33 years old, he's already accomplished everything he can in wrestling as well as MMA. Finding his way into a big-money spectacle versus a boxer would just be another check off the list and a good way to expand his overall net worth.
The move is a peculiar one for Garcia, who is a legitimate rising star in boxing. He is the WBC Silver lightweight titleholder and has won each of his last two fights by first-round knockout.
In the post-Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. landscape, this isn't out of the ordinary for MMA fighters to call out boxers and vice versa. However, Cejudo's semi-retired state and Garcia's openness to potentially fighting him in MMA makes this a little more attractive.
Cejudo wasn't the only fighter in the MMA world that Garcia had his sights set on. He also called out Bellator fighter and McGregor associate Dillon Danis.
