Henry Cejudo, Dominick Cruz
In the sport of MMA, Dominick Cruz is a true legend. He’s won the UFC bantamweight title multiple times and is still one of the greatest fighters in the class at 36 years old.
He’s currently attempting a last-ditch bid for the title, so his next move will be intriguing. Cruz is the No. 7 ranked bantamweight in the world and has won his previous two fights. He is intent on reclaiming the division’s top rank and has stated his ambition to win the crown as quickly as possible.
There are, however, a slew of other fighters with comparable goals. Including none other than the former bantamweight champion, Henry Cejudo. Henry and him share a deep history. Henry Cejudo defeated Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight title in the co-main event of UFC 249 on Saturday.

Cejudo announced his retirement after that fight, but after recent developments in the bantamweight division, he announced to jump right back in the octagon. He is currently training for his comeback, and he’s been taking constant shots at the division’s elites.
Cruz is irritated by his actions, and he slammed him in a recent interview with The Schmo, he said, “When we’re talking about Henry, he’s retired and he’s been retired and that guy’s just looking to, again he’s a guy who wants to be famous. You know he sat out, got fat, and then just relaxed so now he wants to come back and get a big fight.“
Despite all the criticism, Henry remains one of the best mixed martial artists to ever step inside the octagon, and it would be interesting to see how he fares against the likes of Petr Yan, Aljamain Sterling, Cory Sandhagen, and more.
