Former double champion, Henry Cejudo he already knows what he needs to do to once again have a chance to add new chapters to his legacy in the UFC.

“The point is that Cejudo is retired. If you really want to fight Volkanovski, you don't have to try to provoke on social media, but pick up the phone and understand what you need to do to get back – to understand the process of the division, of USADA – and that's how you start to prepare the return.

If you really want to fight, make some calls and understand instead of calling people names on Twitter and hoping we're going to call for a fight,” said Dana in an interview with 'Yahoo Sports'.
