Henry Cejudo: A legacy set in stone
Apart from securing the coveted ‘Champ-Champ’ status, Henry Cejudo is geared towards becoming the undisputed P4P king. In his absence from MMA, several fighters have broken through and become established figures. Champions like Kamaru Usman, Charles Oliveira, and Deiveson Figueiredo are trending towards unmatched greatness.
However, if Henry Cejudo is to be believed, his return to the UFC will mark the greatest run in company history. As mentioned before, he’s already secured wins over dominant forces and his run after beating Demetrious Johnson is a thing of legend. There’s no question as to whether fans will tune if and when he strikes a comeback deal with the UFC.
As it stands, all the names on Henry Cejudo’s hit list are currently engaged in an upcoming match-up. While Sterling doesn’t have a fight booked, he’ll almost certainly rematch with Petr Yan upon his return. Given the landscape of the respective decisions, it’s highly likely that Deiveson Figueiredo could be the first champion to make a viable bout with.
