Henry Cejudo aiming for Sterling vs. Dillashaw winner then planning move to featherweight

Henry Cejudo has the UFC bantamweight and featherweight championships on his mind ahead of his much-anticipated return to the Octagon.

The former two-division champion announced he was ending his retirement and re-entering the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug testing pool earlier this year. Once he completes six months of testing, Cejudo can compete again.

For his first appearance in over two years, Cejudo has set his sights on the winner of Aljamain Sterling vs. T.J. Dillashaw, the co-headliner of UFC 280 scheduled for Oct. 22 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Though he and the ‘Funk Master’ have teased a potential fight on several occasions, ‘Triple C’ revealed recently he was more inclined to accept one against Dillashaw, should he defeat Sterling.
