Henry Cejudo apparently has walked back any thoughts of potential retirement after UFC 288.
Cejudo (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) immediately pondered his future when he fell short to bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling by split decision in this past Saturday’s main event at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. He took his gloves off in his post-fight octagon interview with Joe Rogan and said he was confused when addressing what’s next at the post-fight news conference.
But after some thought, “Triple C” apparently has decided to continue fighting and wants No. 1-ranked bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili on the projected UFC 292 pay-per-view Aug. 20 in Boston. UFC 292 is also being discussed to feature Sterling’s next title defense against Sean O’Malley.
