The May 8 main event between Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw is off. The former bantamweight champion announced on Instagram that he would not be able to compete on the aforementioned date. He also stated that he is working on rescheduling the fight as soon as possible. ‘Killashaw’ shared a picture of his injury and wrote, “I’m sad to say that I have to be pulled from my fight on May 8th due to a cut received from a head butt while drilling. Rescheduling the fight as soon as possible.” Losing the main event just a few weeks before it was set to take place was a huge blow for the promotion. However, thanks to the depth of talent available, recent reports [https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2021/04/ufc-news-tj-dillashaw-facial-cut-out-ufc-main-event-cory-sandhagen] suggest that the UFC has set a strawweight bout between Michelle Waterson and Marina Rodriguez as the new main event to headline the May 8th card. Diaz next [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-boxing-news-theyre-going-to-tune-in-and-watch-jake-paul-wants-to-take-on-nate-diaz-next/] CAN TJ DILLASHAW BOUNCE BACK AFTER A LONG LAY-OFF? The former Bantamweight champion has been out of competition for a little over two years. He last competed in January 2019 when he went down a weight class to challenge Henry Cejudo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/henry-cejudo/] for the flyweight belt. However, shortly after the bout, he was suspended for two years for testing positive for a banned substance. Dillashaw [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/TJ-Dillashaw-62507], who was on a four-fight win streak before succumbing to a loss against Cejudo, will be aiming to get back into the win column. However, this will be easier said than done as his opponent, Cory Sandhagen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/Cory-Sandhagen/], has quickly established himself as one of the best and deadliest strikers in the division. ‘The Sandman’ has looked phenomenal in his last two fights and has secured stunning stoppages in both outings. The fight between both men will be a chess match between two of the best strikers in the division. It will be interesting to see how much two years away from the sport has affected Dillashaw. Now, UFC fans will be hoping that the company reschedules the fight as soon as possible. When do you think Dillashaw and Sandhagen will scrap?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Henry Cejudo?</strong></h2>
Henry Cejudo reached the pinnacle of his combat career when he defeatedÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/Marlon-Moraes/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Marlon Moraes</a>Â at UFC 238 and clinched the vacant UFC bantamweight title. This win made him the only fourth fighter in the promotion's history to hold two championships simultaneously. The American fighter boasts of an illustrious resume that also includes an Olympic gold medal. After enjoying a reign at the top, 'The Messenger' hung up his gloves in 2020, only to announce his comeback after a layoff of three years.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Henry Cejudo's</b><b> early life</b></h2>
The 36-year-old fighter was born to Mexican immigrants Jorge Cejudo and Nelly Rico. He spent his early childhood in Los Angeles. However, Cejudo along with his family first moved to New Mexico and subsequently to Phoenix.

Cejudo is the youngest of his siblings, Jorge and Alonzo Cejudo, his brothers, and Ana Karolina, Maria, and Gloria Cejudo, his sisters.

Cejudo got enrolled at Grand Canyon University in 2010, the same year he picked up amateur boxing. He graduated in 2015 with a degree in theology. He found inspiration in his elder brother, Angel Cejudo, and devoted his focus to wrestling.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Henry Cejudo's</b><b> wife and children</b></h2>

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Henry Cejudo has a net worth of $2 million. The varied sources of his income majorly include money collected from fighting in the UFC. Besides, a small chunk is also amassed through endorsements.

The former champion took home the base salary of $350,00 when he last faced Dominick Cruz at UFC 249.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Henry Cejudo's career timeline</b></h2>
'Triple C' won his freshman titles in Arizona. In addition, he won the Colorado State Championships (CHSAA) as a junior and also as a senior. These accomplishments enabled him to feature in the USA Wrestling Magazine's Dream Team of High School All-Americans.

In 2006, he joined the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Within a year of his senior debut, he won the US National Championship at 55 kilograms. He followed it with a bronze medal at the World Cup in 2007.

The most notable accomplishment in his life came in 2008 when he represented the United States at the Olympics. Cejudo won the gold in the 55kg category and became the youngest American wrestler to do so.

While he switched to MMA, the Los Angeles native had a brief stint in wrestling in 2015 when he faced Tony Ramos at the "Agon V: Iowa against the World" event. However, his opponent scored a come-from-behind victory and spoiled his return. Prior to his debut for UFC in 2014, the Olympic medalist fought under the banner of the World Fighting Federation and Legacy FC.
