Henry Cejudo Reacts to Joe Rogan and Jorge Masvidal Praise Ahead of UFC Return

If an athlete has an Olympic Gold medal in his bag and a couple of UFC titles it doesn’t take much to establish his credibility. Henry Cejudo has earned a lot of respect in the world of combat sports. He won the Olympics in 2008 and then moved on to MMA. He quickly made a name for himself with his impressive wrestling skills and aggressive fighting style. In 2018, Cejudo challenged Demetrious Johnson for the UFC flyweight championship and won the title by split decision. Cejudo won the fight against Marlon Moraes by TKO in the third round and became a two-division champion.

He retired in 2020 after a successful title defense. In 2022, however, Cejudo announced his return to fighting. In a recent tweet, Cejudo shared a clip where Jorge Masvidal and Joe Rogan can be seen talking about Cejudo’s fighting prowess and MMA future.
