Is Henry Cejudo really done this time? That's the burning question on everyone's mind as he gears up for his fight at UFC 323. Let's dive into the details!
Recently, Henry Cejudo, the former dual champion in both the flyweight and bantamweight divisions, faced the media. He's set to battle Payton Talbott in a bantamweight bout on the main card this Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena. This fight is a pay-per-view event, also available on ESPN2, FX, Disney+, and ESPN+.
Cejudo's journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. He initially retired back in 2020, relinquishing his 135-pound title. He then made a comeback three years later, earning a title shot against Aljamain Sterling, which he lost. His subsequent fight also ended in defeat against the current dominant champ, Merab Dvalishvili. Adding to the mix, he experienced a technical decision loss to Yadong Song in February.
But here's where it gets interesting: Cejudo insists this retirement is for real... except for a potential fight against former champ Brandon Moreno, whom he seems to have unfinished business with.
And this is the part most people miss: Cejudo hinted that even if he wanted to come back again, UFC CEO Dana White wouldn't allow it.
