Henry Cejudo is set to face a high-profile opponent in his debut appearance for Real American Freestyle (RAF).
Cejudo officially stepped away from mixed martial arts following his final appearance at UFC 323 in December, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to upcoming Payton Talbott.
The former two-division champion initially stepped away from competition after successfully defending his bantamweight title with a second-round TKO over Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 in May 2020. However, “The Messenger” later ended his three-year retirement and returned to the Octagon in May 2023, where he suffered a narrow split-decision loss to then-135-pound titleholder Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288.
