SAN ANTONIO – Marlon Vera thinks Henry Cejudo’s main motivation to return is money.
Cejudo retired after he retainedd his bantamweight title against Dominick Cruz in May 2020. Three years later, Cejudo will look to reclaim the belt he never lost when he challenges bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling in the UFC 288 headliner May 6.
But because Cejudo (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) already captured belts in two weight divisions, and successfully defended both, Vera (20-7-1 MMA, 14-6 UFC) says there’s only one reason he’s coming back.
