Dana White: ‘Henry Cejudo already retired’ once, so no Joe Rogan interview after UFC 298 loss

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Dana White didn’t see a reason for Henry Cejudo to get the mic after UFC 298.

Cejudo (16-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) removed his gloves after losing a unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili Saturday at Honda Center – which he said he would do if he lost. However, Cejudo never got to address his fighting future in the immediate aftermath because he wasn’t given a post-fight in-cage interview.

White had no intention of giving Cejudo the mic if he lost. He was critical of Cejudo retiring in May 2020, and didn’t want to see him steal Dvalishvili’s (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) shine.
