Henry Cejudo has been inspired to make his MMA return after the conclusion of UFC 273 last weekend.
Former two-weight champion Cejudo has pondered a return to the octagon for several months, but he finally announced his plans to re-enter the USADA testing pool ahead of a comeback. It comes after featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling both defended their titles at UFC 273, two weight classes that Cejudo is interested in fighting at.
In a message to Volkanovski after his win, Cejudo wrote: “You’ve inspired me to come back. When it comes to wrestling, you couldn’t pin a tweet. I would take you down and choke you out quicker than a [Conor] McGregor relapse. Sign the contract.”
