Former UFC Two-Division Champion Henry Cejudo Planning to End Retirement

The championship fights at the top of the UFC 273 card were apparently enough to inspire Henry Cejudo to come out of retirement.

Cejudo’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, informed ESPN that the former UFC two-division champion will re-enter the USADA drug testing pool on Monday. Fighters are generally subject to six months of drug testing before they can return to active competition, according to the UFC’s anti-doping policy.

"Henry will focus on his fight and training," Abdelaziz told ESPN. "He never stopped training. I truly believe Henry can come back to win the [bantamweight] title and go up to 145 and win that.
