Sonnen: Henry Cejudo is back in USADA testing pool for UFC return at 145 lbs
Henry Cejudo poses with the UFC belt after defeating Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 in 2020.Former UFC double-champ Henry Cejudo has been pushing for a return fight against Alexander Volkanovski. Over the last few weeks, “Triple C” has been pretty much badgering Dana White, which the UFC president repeatedly shut down.
From the outside looking in, it’s easy to dismiss Cejudo’s words as the usual statements from a prematurely-retired fighter. But according to someone with insider information like Chael Sonnen, these are serious plans.
Sonnen was with Cejudo during the weekend’s Eagle FC coverage and the two apparently had a conversation about the latter’s possible UFC return.
