MMAFighting.com<\/a> in a recent interview, Cejudo’s manager Abdelaziz confirmed that his client Cejudo is set to return to the Octagon in 2022. He believes he will return as a featherweight, but bantamweight is also possible.<\/p>\n\u201cYes, I do (think Cejudo fights again in 2022). 100-percent I do. I think he does,” Abdelaziz said. \u201cIf he lost, he can go down to 135. He\u2019s not coming in for one fight. He\u2019s coming in for a legacy fight to get three belts but at the end of the day, too, there\u2019s a lot of fights at 135 and 145, too, it\u2019s no problem. He\u2019s a competitor. As long as he\u2019s breathing, this guy\u2019s going to be a competitor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abdelaziz also believes that Cejudo should get the next title shot at 145lbs, suggesting that Max Holloway should step aside and let Cejudo get the next crack at Volkanovski’s belt.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course Max (Holloway) deserves (the title shot), too but I think timing will be great because Henry can fight in February and Max can fight the winner,\u201d Abdelaziz said. \u201cBut also it\u2019s a huge gap in the division. You have Alexander, you have Max and it\u2019s a huge gap and you have someone like Giga (Chikadze), who has a seven-fight winning streak. Giga has a fight. I think it\u2019s the perfect time for Henry to come in and see what he can do in the division. If he wins, he can fight Max and after that he can fight Giga. In reality, it\u2019s a really great fight. It\u2019s a really big fight,” Abdelaziz said.<\/p>\n
Do you agree with Ali Abdelaziz that Henry Cejudo<\/a> will return to the Octagon in 2022 and do you want to see him fight Alexander Volkanovski in his return to active competition?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo will “100 percent” fight in the UFC again in 2022, says his manager Ali Abdelaziz.
