Henry Cejudo Returns – One Last Run for ‘The Messenger’

Henry Cejudo returns for just the third time since May 2020 looking to snap a two-fight losing skid. The former two-weight world champion and Olympic gold medalist will step into the main event against the up and coming, Song Yadong in what, if the result doesn’t go his way, could be his last octagon outing.

At 38, Cejudo has achieved it all in the sport of MMA. He became the first person to defeat Demetrious Johnson at flyweight, snapping his 14-fight winning run and avenging his first professional loss. He then went up in weight to capture the vacant bantamweight title before vacating both and retiring.
