A former UFC star is coming out of retirement.
Henry Cejudo, a former two-division champion, is eyeing a return to the octagon, his agent confirmed on Sunday evening.
The MMA star’s agent told ESPN that Cejudo plans on submitting to the USADA drug-testing pool on Monday.
From ESPN.com:
Henry Cejudo will re-enter himself into the USADA drug-testing pool Monday, his manager Ali Abdelaziz of Dominance MMA told ESPN on Sunday. That signifies that Cejudo, a former Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, is on his way out of retirement after two years.
Fighters re-entering the pool are typically subjected to six months of drug testing before being able to compete again, per the UFC’s anti-doping policy.
“Henry will focus on his fight and training,” Abdelaziz told ESPN. “He never stopped training. I truly believe Henry can come back to win the 135 [bantamweight] title and go up to 145 [featherweight] and win that. He will be the only fighter in UFC history to win three world titles.”
Cejudo tweeted on Saturday night that he was excited to make a comeback.
