It appears Henry Cejudo will have to wait a while before getting his hands on Merab Dvalishvili.
Cejudo (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC), who contemplated retirement after getting edged out by bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288, quickly changed his tune. The former dual champion wants Sterling’s teammate and No. 1-ranked bantamweight Dvalishvili (16-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) on Aug. 19 at UFC 292, which is headlined by Sterling vs. Sean O’Malley.
