Henry Cejudo and Canelo Alvarez: An overview
Henry Cejudo last competed back in May 2020 at UFC 249 when he TKO’ed former bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz. Following the win, he hung up the gloves and has yet to be booked for a contest. However, he’s been a frequent presence around the MMA community and many believe he’ll be back in short order.
‘Triple C’ has been angling for a big money fight with several boxers, and he could potentially get his wish against Garcia. With match-ups such as Jake Paul vs Ben Askren set to go down soon, there’s no limit on the type of matchmaking going around. It’s a matter of timing and of course contract negotiations when trying to put such bouts together.
