Henry Cejudo's victory over Dominick Cruz wasn't much of a surprise. But Cejudo announcing his retirement after his win certainly was.
That Henry Cejudo, a 2-1 favorite, stopped Dominick Cruz to defend his bantamweight title at UFC 249 may not have been a surprise to many.Cejudo got on the microphone with Joe Rogan for his post-fight interview after a TKO over former champion Cruz with two seconds left in the second round and announced his MMA retirement.
The title defense was Cejudo’s first at 135 pounds. He also held the flyweight title, but vacated it this past December about six months after he became a dual champion. His 4-0 start in the promotion, all decisions, got him a title shot in 2016 against Demetrious Johnson. But Johnson handed him his first pro loss with a first-round TKO at UFC 197.
Cejudo won a split decision from Johnson at UFC 227 in August 2018 to win the flyweight belt. That fight was Johnson’s last in the UFC before moving to ONE Championship. Against former bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw in January 2019, he defended the flyweight belt with a 32-second TKO.
