Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo is scheduled to make a crucial comeback to the octagon. This is scheduled for February 17, 2024, in Anaheim, California. He takes on Merab Dvalishvili in a highly anticipated bantamweight showdown at UFC 298. The stakes are high in this fight, as the winner might become the next bantamweight title contender.

This bout is significant because it can potentially select the next challenger for the winner of Chito Vera vs. Sean O’Malley. Cejudo first declared the news of the matchup via his YouTube channel. In a recent statement, Cejudo emphasized the significance of the fight. This is what he said:

This fight’s going to decide who’s actually going to fight eventually the winner of Chito Vera versus Sean O’Malley. I’m excited. I’m not sure if we’re going to co-headline this fight with Ilia Topuria and Alexander Volkanovski but either way, this fight is absolutely going to be bonkers.

Henry Cejudo is hungry to win his first fight since his comeback. This is especially important after losing a title battle by decision to Aljamain Sterling last May. Merab Dvalishvili, on the other hand, comes into the bout with a nine-fight winning streak. Despite his desire for a title chance after defeating former champion Petr Yan, the UFC chose to match Sean O’Malley against Marlon Vera.
