Is UFC star Henry Cejudo -- a 33-year-old champion in his prime -- actually retiring?!
The answer is a big hell no ... if you listen to his friend and manager -- Ali Abdelaziz -- who tells TMZ Sports there's no way he can see Triple C hangin' up his gloves.
"Do I think Henry's gonna retire? Absolutely not. I don't think Henry's gonna retire."
Remember, Cejudo TKO'd Dominick Cruz -- considered the greatest bantamweight of all-time -- at the end of the 2nd round at UFC 249 last weekend.
