Henry Cejudo re-enters USADA testing pool: Here are 5 possible opponents for UFC comeback

It appears that former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo is finally committing to a comeback.

Cejudo (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC), who retired after retaining his bantamweight title against Dominick Cruz in May 2020, says he has re-entered the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency drug-testing pool, making him eligible for a return to the octagon.

According to the UFC’s anti-doping policy, Cejudo will have to get tested for six months before he can return to competition.

Cejudo said bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling’s title win over Petr Yan and featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski’s domination of Chan Sung Jung this past Saturday at UFC 273 have inspired him to come back.

So what options are out there for “Triple C”? Here are five possible opponents.
