Henry Cejudo, a two-weight champion in the UFC and a former Olympic gold medalist wrestler, is apparently going out on top.
Cejudo (16-2) defended his 135-pound title for the first time on Saturday night, as he finished Cruz (22-3) via TKO at 4:58 of the second round at UFC 249 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The 33-year-old shocked the mixed martial arts world moments later, when he announced he does not intend to fight again.
"I'm happy with my career," Cejudo said. "I've done enough in the sport. I want to walk away and enjoy myself.
