Henry Cejudo announced his retirement shortly after defending his belt against a former long time champion in Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. While Cejudo claimed he’s serious, his manager thinks he’ll be back competing soon.
“I think Dana is right: I think Henry’s been talking about retirement,” Ali Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports. (Transcript via MMA Mania) “Do I think Henry’s gonna retire? Absolutely not. I don’t think Henry’s gonna retire.”
According to Abdelaziz, it’s a money issue that they’ll be able to resolve soon.
“These guys, they’re in their prime. Henry’s gonna be coming now into his prime,” he said.
