Henry Cejudo doesn’t need to make an immediate decision, but he’s starting to weigh the options, of which there are a few.
It’s been six months since Cejudo (16-4 MMA, 10-4) stepped inside the cage and lost a title eliminator to Merab Dvlashvili at UFC 298. Since then, Cejudo has enjoyed life as a father of two, a 2024 Olympic Games spectator in Paris, and a figurehead for rising MMA promotion United Fight League, which returns Aug. 30.
Competition still holds a special place in Cejudo’s heart, and while he’s eager to get back to throwing punches and shooting takedowns as hundreds of thousands watch, an injury’s healing process continues to have him taking it day by day.
