Henry Cejudo, an undefeated UFC flyweight and an Olympic gold-medal wrestler, announced Wednesday he will no longer compete in the state of Nevada following the state athletic commission's five-year suspension of Nick Diaz.
Cejudo's manager, Bill McFarlane, sent the news through a written statement to Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting.
