Former UFC double-champ Henry Cejudo has been adamant about unretiring and potentially making history as the first-ever three-division titleholder. The 34-year-old competitor retired in 2020, but as of late, he’s been campaigning for a fight against featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
The organization, from their end, isn’t interested. For UFC president Dana White, Cejudo jumping the line despite his former champ-champ status doesn’t make sense.
“For Cejudo to retire and then just think he should be able to come in and jump into any weight division and take on the champion, it’s not how it works.
