Retired since May 2020, Henry Cejudo returned to the USADA (American Anti-Doping Agency) testing program and made it clear that he intends to test himself at featherweight (up to 65,7kg.) now to challenge Alexander Volkanovsky for the division belt in his comeback fight. However, for the Australian, the 'Triple C' needs to prove that he deserves the opportunity to face him.

“I know he has many achievements. I respect him. However, how long has he been defying me? It's back to the (USADA) testing program now. If you know you can't fight, why are you wasting energy? And why should I waste my breath on this? So that's why I didn't take it very seriously,” Alexander said in an interview with 'The MMA Hour'.
With the most recent triumph, against Korean zombie No. UFC 273, Volkanovski won his third title defense and expanded his legacy at featherweight. In addition to this feat, the fighter reached the mark of 21 consecutive victories in his career in MMA, having beaten names such as Max Holloway (2x) José Aldo e Chad Mendes.
Considered one of the greatest fighters in recent years in Ultimate, Cejudo retired at just 33 years old, but is rehearsing his return to the organization. Henry hung up his gloves with a record of 16 triumphs and two setbacks in professional MMA and now sharpens the game of athletes like Deiveson Figueiredo, Jon Jones e Jiri Prochazka at 'Fight Ready'.
