It appears that Henry Cejudo will indeed get the next shot at the UFC bantamweight title.
The UFC’s bantamweight division has been in a state of flux since T.J. Dillashaw vacated his belt due to a failed USADA drug test. With former WSOF king Marlon Moraes seemingly locked into a No. 1 contender spot, the trio of Cejudo, Pedro Munhoz, and Aljamain Sterling have all campaigned heavily for a chance to oppose Moraes for the vacant 135-pound strap.
And following a win by top-ranked flyweight contender Jussier Formiga over Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Nashville, UFC president Dana White appears to have the next steps for the flyweight and bantamweight divisions figured out.
