Retired since July 2020, Henry Cejudo remains attentive to the movements of MMA and, now, has taken a new step. With the departure of Max Holloway from the trilogy against Alexander Volkanovsky due to an aggravated injury, the 'Triple C' decided to take the lead and asked to compete for the featherweight title (up to 65,7kg.) against the Australian in the UFC 272, scheduled to take place on March 5th.

“Triple C’ to the rescue. Dana White, you have my number #C4”, wrote Cejudo on his official 'Twitter', hinting at his possible fourth 'gold'.
Willing to make history and become the organization's first fighter to add three titles to his history, Cejudo hasn't stepped into the octagon since his triumph over Dominick Cruz, in 2020. After beating the bantamweight icon, the athlete, still in the octagon, announced his retirement. In his career in mixed martial arts, there are 16 triumphs and two setbacks.
Considered, by many, as one of the greatest names in the history of featherweights (up to 65,7kg.), Alexander Volkanovsky has made a name for himself in Ultimate. Champion since December 2019, the Australian has a record of 23 positive results and only one negative, having beaten names like José Aldo, Chad Mendes, Max Holloway (2x) and Brian ortega.
