In recent months, Cejudo has publicly demanded a chance to face Alexander Volkanovsky in the fight for the featherweight title (up to 65,7kg.). Retired since May 2020, the former flyweight (up to 56,7kg) and bantamweight (up to 61,2kg) champion makes no secret of the fact that, for the challenge, he would return to active duty.

While Henry hasn't performed since the big win over Dominick Cruz, Volkanovski is experiencing a great moment in his career. In his last fight, the featherweight champion overcame Brian ortega in one of the best clashes of 2021.
