UFC Bantamweight Title Vacated After Henry Cejudo's Retirement

The UFC bantamweight title is officially up for grabs.

UFC removed Henry Cejudo's name from the title page and rankings on its website Sunday night, and ESPN's Marc Raimondi and Ariel Helwani confirmed with the promotion that the fighter is considered retired.

Cejudo announced his retirement earlier this month after he defended his title against Dominick Cruz at UFC 249.

"I'm happy with my career," Cejudo said. "I've done enough in the sport. I want to walk away and enjoy myself. I'm 33 years old. I have a girl now, watching me from back home.
