‘No, Cejudo’s retired’ - Dana White not sold on former double-champ’s reported return to USADA pool

“No cringe. Just straight talk. I’ve entered the USADA pool.”

That’s the message Henry Cejudo spread across his social media accounts back on April 11th. His goal? A return to the Octagon and a potential title fight against Alexander Volkanovski.

For most fighters, that may seem like nothing more than a pipe dream. But, Cejudo was a concurrent two-division champion who retired on a six fight unbeaten streak having never lost either belt through the course of competition. That’s the kind of resume that seems as though it could give him just the leverage he needs, even after two years on the sidelines.
