Henry Cejudo meets with UFC brass, wants Aljamain Sterling in return

Henry Cejudo has teased his return to competition for quite some time. The former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion often insisted he was serious about ending his retirement and fighting again but never took the necessary steps to ensure it would materialize...until now.

Cejudo recently announced his intention to re-enter the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug testing pool in a ploy to get a fight with Alexander Volkanovski, the current UFC featherweight champion. Following a six-month period of testing, ‘Triple C’ can compete again.

Although he was met with indifference by UFC president Dana White, Cejudo appears to be setting the wheels in motion for a return, and his most recent move could indicate that it will indeed happen soon.
