Back in January, Henry Cejudo defended his flyweight title when he knocked out T.J. Dillashaw in 32 seconds<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the fight, it was expected that Cejudo would move up in weight to rematch Dillashaw for the bantamweight title. However, news came out on Tuesday that Dillashaw will be suspended for a year for ‘adverse findings’<\/a> in his pre-fight drug test sample. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Cejudo and his coach, Eric Albarracin are disappointed in the news as the rematch is unlikely to happen anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt ruined the rematch we were looking to get, the big rivalry, the money fight, shutting the critics up,\u201d Albarracin said on MMA Junkie Radio<\/a>. \u201cA few people, including Dana White, thought it was an early stoppage. I didn\u2019t think it was an early stoppage. I didn\u2019t think it was \u2013 I was cageside and saw him go limp a couple of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut we could have shut them up and get another belt, and that\u2019s kind of out the window now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the question remains of who will Cejudo fight next? He could stay at flyweight and attempt to defend his title against Joseph Benavidez. Or, he could move up to bantamweight and fight for the vacant title. But, if Albarracin has any choice, he would like to see Cejudo stay down and defend his flyweight title next where he would look to avenge his loss against Benavidez. The two fought back in 2016 where Benavidez won by split-decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like just winning a vacant title,\u201d he said. \u201cTo tell you the truth, I\u2019d like to serve up some sweet revenge to Joe Benavidez. That was Henry\u2019s last loss, so there\u2019s a rivalry there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose guys really were enemies on that show, and we ended up losing a very, very close decision. I would love to get that back, and this time, we won\u2019t leave it to the judges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who do you think Henry Cejudo should fight next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
